C-Box/2A
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 moder-
ate 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

C-Box/2A
1.3 Notes on CE Marking
The following apply to the C-Box/2A:
- EU Directive 2014/30/EU
- EU Directive 2011/65/EU, “RoHS“
Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited and the relevant appli-
cable harmonized European standards (EN). The controller is designed for use in industrial environments.
The EU Declaration of Conformity is available to the responsible authorities according to EU Directive, article
10.
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 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.
1.5 Proper Environment
- Protection class: IP40 1
- Temperature range:
Operating: +5 ... +50 °C (+41 ... +122 °F)
Storage: 0 ... +50 °C (+32 ... +122 °F)
- Humidity: 5 - 95 % (non condensing)
- Ambient pressure: Atmospheric pressure
iThe protection class is limited to water (no penetrating liquids or similar).
1) Only with sensor cable connected.

C-Box/2A
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.
