2.1.1.2 SDL operation - Mode 2
In SDL operating mode 2, communication between the Automation Panel and B&R industrial PC is handled using
an SDL cable connected to interface "Panel In" and a USB type A/B cable connected to interface "USB In".
In addition to display data, information from the resistive touch screen and matrix keys as well as LED, service and
diagnostic data is transferred over the SDL cable. Data from the multi-touch touch screen is transferred over the
USB type A/B cable. The Automation Panel can be installed up to 5 m (USB specification) from the B&R industrial
PC. USB 2.0 data can be transferred over this distance via the USB type A/B cable. External modules are not
necessary for this.
The brightness of the display can be set using the ADI Control Center, for example.
