The USB connector is used to connect the MicroFlex
e
100 to a PC running Mint WorkBench. The
MicroFlex
e
100 is a self-powered, USB 1.1 (12 Mbps) compatible device. If it is connected to a
slower USB1.0 host PC or hub, communication speed will be limited to the USB1.0 specification
(1.5 Mbps). If it is connected to a faster USB2.0 (480 Mbps) host PC or hub, communication
speed will remain at the USB1.1 specification of the MicroFlex
e
100.
Ideally, the MicroFlex
e
100 should be connected directly to a USB port on the host PC. If it is
connected to a hub shared by other USB devices, communication could be affected by the
activity of the other devices. A 2 m (6.5 ft) standard USB cable is supplied. The maximum
recommended cable length is 5 m (16.4 ft).

The RS485 2-wire port is used to connect third-party serial devices such as operator panels. The
Baldor Keypad and Baldor HMI panel range cannot be connected to this port. The 7 V supply on
pin 4 is provided for future Baldor accessories, so care should be taken to ensure this supply will
not damage connected devices. The RS485 port could be damaged if a USB plug is accidentally
inserted while the drive is powered.
