Use of USB devices
• Wait at least ten seconds between removal and reconnection of USB devices.
• When using standard USB peripherals, bear in mind that their EMC immunity level is
frequently designed for office applications only. These devices may be used for
commissioning and servicing. However, only industry-standard devices are allowed for
industrial operation.
• Peripherals are developed and marketed by individual vendors. The respective supplier
offers support for the I/O devices. Moreover, the terms of liability of the individual vendors
or suppliers apply here.
Note
Functional problem with USB port
If you connect an external device with a 230 VAC power supply to the USB port without
using a non-insulated installation, you may experience functional problems.
Excessive rated load on port
A USB device with too high a power load may possibly cause functional problems.
Observe the values for the maximum load of the USB interface. You will find the values in
the section "Technical specifications" (Page 58)".
