Overview of decentralized structure
The decentralized structure makes it possible to connect SIMOTION panel fronts in different
physical locations to a SIMOTION P350-3. This makes for flexibility in terms of location
which enables the SIMOTION P350-3 to be positioned in non-critical areas of an installation
(e.g. control cabinet).
The essential characteristics of a Panel PC Remote Kit are as follows:
●
Signal transmission between SIMOTION P350-3 and SIMOTION panel front via DVI-D
and USB or USB extender cable
●
The distance between SIMOTION P350-3 and the SIMOTION panel front can be up to
30 m.
●
Graphics resolutions: 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 pixels; color resolution: 16 bits (specific to
the panel front used)
●
Interfaces on the remote module:
–
DVI-D interface
–
USB computer interface (> 5 m) RJ45
–
2 x USB 2.0 for the connection of external USB devices
–
USB computer interface (≤ 5 m) USB B
–
Interfaces to the SIMOTION panel front:
LVDS interface (picture signals)
I/O USB interface (keys)
USB interface (for connection to front-mounted USB interface)
●
External 24 V DC power supply required
Note
Using a decentralized structure with the Panel PC Remote Kit reduces the data rate at the
USB interface on the SIMOTION panel front.
