3.4.1.2 SDL4 operation with SDL4 Converter via DVI
When operating SDL4 with an SDL4 Converter (5COSD4.1000-00, 5COSD4.1001-00) via DVI, communication
between an industrial PC and the SDL4 Converter is handled using a DVI cable and USB type A/B cable. The
Automation Panel is connected to the SDL4 Converter using an SDL3/SDL4 cable. The touch screen data from
the multi-touch screen is transferred via the USB type A/B cable.
The Automation Panel can be up to 100 m away from the SDL4 Converter; USB 2.0 is fully integrated in SDL4
and transferred over this distance.
The maximum distance for transferring data between the industrial PC and SDL4 Converter (5COSD4.1000-00,
