1. Safety
System operation assumes knowledge of the operating instructions.
1.1 Symbols Used
The following symbols are used in these operating instructions:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or mode-
rate injury.
Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided.
Indicates a user action.
iIndicates a tip for users.
1.2 Warnings
Connect the power supply and the display/output device according to the safety regulations for electrical
equipment.
> Risk of injury
> Damage to or destruction of the controller
The supply voltage must not exceed the specified limits.
> Damage to or destruction of the controller
Avoid shocks and impacts to the controller.
> Damage to or destruction of the controller

The measuring system is designed for use in industrial environments and meets the requirements.
1.4 Intended Use
- The C-Box/2A is designed for industrial use in automated manufacturing and machine monitoring. It is
used for
processing 2 digital input signals, e. g. thickness measurement
filtering of measurements
- The controller must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 2.2.
- The system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material
goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the system.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.

2. Functional Principle, Technical Data
2.1 Functional Principle
The C-Box/2A is used for processing two digital input signals.
Features:
- Processing of 2 input signals
- Programmable via Ethernet (web pages)
- Semi-automatic sensor detection for MICRO-EPSILON sensors with digital output
- Triggering
- Ethernet interface with TCP and UDP protocols
- USB interface
- D/A converter of the digital measurements, output via current and voltage interface
The C-Box/2A is installed in a stable aluminium case.
Two digital sensors of the same series can be directly connected to the C-Box/2A via RS422.
Both sensors are synchronized via the C-Box/2A; the C-Box/2A is the master.
The parameterization of all inputs and outputs on the C-Box/2A is performed via a Web interface.
An internal time base also enables the calculation of measurement results of different measuring frequencies.
