Local HMI connection

A permanent local workstation can be set up with the D400 to access the D400 Local HMI 
(human machine interface). The computer peripherals connect to the USB KVM Adapter 
located on the rear panel of the D400. The D400 supports the following peripheral 
connections:

Three USB v1.1 compliant Type A ports for USB keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, or 
other USB device

Single 3.5 mm audio jack for stereo audio output to speakers

High-density D-sub 15-socket connector for video display

To connect a local 

substation computer 

to the KVM Adapter

NOTE

Ensure the D400 is powered down before connecting devices to the USB KVM card.

1.

Connect the SVGA monitor to the video port.

2.

Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports.

3.

Connect speakers (if available) to the audio jack.

TIP

You can also connect a USB touchscreen, keyboard, and mouse to the front USB ports.
