Electrical Details General
NOTE
Do not connect the Incubator Devices to the computer before software installation
routine asks you to do so → chapter 5, page 25
• Plug in the power supply and USB cable
Fig.11:
Standard connection for one device
The device needs an electrical power supply that provides a stable 24Vdc voltage. The
power consumption for one device is max. 65 Watt. If more devices are stacked, the
power supply must be able to deliver the resulting power consumption. The polarisation
at the power connector at the back side is shown in the following picture. The red circle
shows the “plus-pole” and the black the “minus-pole”. Please contact INHECO →
[email protected] if you are not sure how many devices can be used with one
power supply.
NOTE
Since the USB interface is not optimized for a secure real time data transfer, all
communication is secured by a cyclic checksum (CRC). In case the communication
between the computer and the Incubator Unit often fails due to timeouts, it is likely that it
is due to the computer. Consider the following with regards to communication stability:
- In case you encounter communication instability, verify the communication stability
with different computers of different configurations.
- Disconnect other devices from the computer which may interfere with the
communication stability.
- De-activate the automated Windows update. For integration purpose, use
