• DVI Extended input (X102) • USB Extended input (X103) For the control panel with Beckhoff mounting arm adapter, the connections are located inside the adapter. You must first gain access to the interfaces. The procedure is the same, regardless of whether you have ordered the mounting arm adapter with upwards or downwards orientation.
Product overview 3.2.1 Power supply The control panel is supplied with a nominal voltage of 24 V. The connection to the power supply as well as the connection of the push buttons S1-S4 of the push button extension is made via the 19-pin voltage socket (XS01).
Product overview 3.2.2 DVI Extended input The control panel has a DVI Extended input (X102). It is used to transmit the graphics signal from the industrial PC to the control panel. The graphics signal is transferred directly via a DVI cable over a distance of 50 m max. Such a cable length leads to strong distortion of the graphics signal on arrival at the control panel.
Product overview 3.2.3 USB Extended input The CP3921-150x-0000 Control Panel has a USB Extended input (X103). The interface is used to connect the control panel to the CU8801 USB-to-USB extended transmitter box. To realize a distance of 50 m without hubs, USB Extended converts the USB signal so that it can be transmitted via a 50 m CAT 5 cable.
Product overview 3.2.4 On the mounting arm adapter there is an additional USB interface under a screw cap according to IP65. The screw cap is attached via an internal rope and thus remains on the unit even after unscrewing. In order to gain access to the interface, unscrew the cap and let it dangle on the rope.
• Power supply (XS01) • CP-Link 4 input (X102) For the control panel with Beckhoff mounting arm adapter, the connections are located inside the adapter. You must first gain access to the interfaces. The procedure is the same, regardless of whether you have ordered the mounting arm adapter with upwards or downwards orientation.
Product overview 3.3.1 Power supply The control panel is supplied with a nominal voltage of 24 V. The connection to the power supply as well as the connection of the push buttons S1-S4 of the push button extension is made via the 19-pin voltage socket (XS01).
Product overview 3.3.2 CP-Link-4 input The control panel has a CP-Link 4 input (X102) in the form of an 8-pin M12 socket. Via the interface, the control panel can be connected to an industrial PC at a distance of up to 100 m. The connection can be made either directly with an industrial PC with a corresponding PCIe module or indirectly via an intermediate transmitter box.
Product overview When installing the control panel with the CU8802 transmitter box, the industrial PC is connected to the transmitter box via USB and DP/DVI. The transmitter box is then connected to the control panel via the CP- Link 4 connection of the transmitter box using a CP-Link 4 cable. USB and DVI are transmitted together via this cable.
Product overview The USB interface is used to connect peripheral devices with a USB connection. It is a USB-A socket. USB specification 2.0 is supported. 4 3 2 1 Fig. 19: USB interface pin numbering Table 9: USB interface pin assignment Connection Vbus Version: 1.1 CP3921-150x...
