Introduction
Redundant Power
USB-5820 modules feature two power input terminals with an input power range of
10 ~ 30 V
DC
and power redundancy support. For modules connected to two power
input sources, if one source is inactive or interrupted, the other power source can
immediately assume supply operations. Accordingly, USB-5820 modules can oper-
ate with a single power source. (The modules can also be powered via USB if there is
no device connected to the downstream port.)
Board ID Switch
USB-5820 modules have a built-in DIP switch that is used to define the board ID for
each module. When multiple modules are installed in the same system, the board ID
switch can be used to identify each module’s device number. Every module in the
system should be assigned different device numbers. The default board ID value is 0.
1.2 Installation Guide
Before module installation, please ensure that you have the following necessary
components:
 1 x USB-5820 module

1 x USB-5820 user manual
 Advantech DAQNavi driver software

1 x Personal computer or workstation with a USB interface (and equipped with
Windows 10/8/7/XP operating system)
 1 x 10 ~ 30 V power supply (96PS-A40WDIN optional)
Other optional components are also available for enhanced operation:
 DAQNavi, LabVIEW, and other third-party software
Once you have the necessary components and any additional accessories for
enhanced operation, you can begin installing the USB-5820 module. Figure 1.1 is a
flowchart that provides a broad overview of the software and hardware installation
procedures.
Note! The USB host (system) can support up to five levels of hubs. If more
than five levels are cascaded, the USB modules may malfunction.
