2.1 Connection options
An Automation Panel can be connected to the Automation PC via the onboard DVI-D/SDL interface as well as via
an optional graphics option. The connection options described below provide an overview of the operating modes
as well as possible limitations.
2.1.1 SDL operation
2.1.1.1 SDL operation - Mode 1
In SDL operating mode 1, all communication between the Automation Panel and B&R industrial PC is handled
using a single SDL cable.
In addition to display data, information from the touch screen and matrix keys as well as service and diagnostic
data is transferred. The Automation Panel can be installed up to 40 m from the B&R industrial PC. USB 1.1 is also
transferred over this distance and fully integrated in SDL. External modules are not necessary for this.
The brightness of the display can be set using the ADI Control Center, for example.
