Connecting modules to the 52/XS Core
The control modules and I/O boxes have to be connected to the APC ports of the 52/XS Cores 52-18xx. It is important to connect the peripheral modules to the correct APC port.
Important
Use always shielded CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cables (at least S/UTP, F/UTP or SF/UTP) to connect these modules to the XS core.
In the following table you can find the assignment of the control modules, I/O boxes, DeviceLinks and TFT/Touch displays to the APC ports.
| Name of the APC port |  52-1801 | 52-1804 |
| APC 1 | TFT/touch display | TFT/touch display |
| APC 2 | central control module | central control module 52-1010 |
| APC 3 | fader module 1 | fader module 1 |
| APC 4 | fader module 2 | I/O box 1 / DeviceLink 1 |
| APC 5 | fader module 3 | n. a. |
| APC 6 | fader module 4 / I/O box 3 / DeviceLink 3 * | n. a. |
| APC 7 | I/O box 2 / DeviceLink 2 | n. a. |
| APC 8 | I/O box 1 / DeviceLink 1 | n. a. |
*) The APC port 6 is useable either for a fader module, an I/O box or an DeviceLink. Because of this, for example a 12 fader mixing console with three I/O boxes or a 16 fader mixing console with two I/O boxes are the maximum configurations for a 52/SX.
