USB connection type A (host)
A USB 2.0 connection is available on a shielded USB A socket at the front of the device. A
USB stick, for example, can be connected to this interface as a storage medium. An
external keyboard or USB hub may also be connected.
USB connection type B (function)
A USB 2.0 connection is available on a shielded USB B socket at the front of the device.
This can be used to connect the device for communication with a laptop, for example.
USB-2.0 is compatible with USB-1.1 or USB-3.0, i.e. communication is possible.
Information on USB devices
The USB devices are detected by the "plug-and-play" function. If several devices of the same
type are connected, only the USB device that was connected first is available. Settings for
the USB devices are made in the setup. A maximum of 8 external USB devices (incl. USB
hub) can be connected if they do not exceed the maximum load of 500 mA. If overloaded,
the corresponding USB devices are automatically disabled.
Requirements with regard to an external USB hub
If USB devices are deactivated due to the 500 mA device limit, such devices can be
connected by means of a USB hub. Only active USB hubs (i.e. hubs with their own power
supply) can be connected to the unit. Hubs with an "overcurrent protection" are
recommended. A maximum of 1 hub can be connected to the unit.
Requirements with regard to the USB stick
There is no guarantee that all manufacturers' USB sticks will function faultlessly. That is
why an industrial grade SD card is recommended to ensure the reliable recording of data.
(→ 53)
The USB stick must be formatted to FAT or FAT32. NTFS format is not readable. The
system supports only USB sticks with max. 32 GB.
Requirements with regard to an external USB keyboard
The system only supports keyboards which can be addressed using generic drivers (HID
keyboard - Human Interface Device). Special keys are not supported (e.g. Windows keys).
Users can only enter characters that are available in the entry character set of the unit. All
unsupported characters are rejected. It is not possible to connect a wireless keyboard. The
following keyboard layouts are supported: DE, CH, FR, USA, USA International, UK, IT. See
setting under "Setup -> Advanced setup -> System -> Keyboard layout".
Requirements for the SD card
Industrial grade SD-HC cards with max. 32 GB are supported.
Use only the industrial grade SD cards described in the "Accessories" section of the
Operating Instructions. These have been tested by the manufacturer and guaranteed
to function faultlessly in the device. (→ 53)
The SD card must be formatted to FAT or FAT32. NTFS format is not readable.
