USB Link

General

All processors have a USB link.

Description

Two connection cables are available to connect a human-machine interface to the processor USB port:

BMX XCA USB 018, 1.8 m (5.91 ft) in length
BMX XCA USB 045, 4.5 m (14.76 ft) in length

Both of these cables are fitted with a connector at each end:

Type A USB: connects to the console
Type mini B USB: connects to the processor

In fixed assembly with an XBT type console connected to the processor via the USB port, you are advised to connect the USB cable to the shielding connection kit.

NOTE: When using the M340, it is strongly recommended to use a USB 2.0 shielded cable following the USB international standard. The cables BMX XCA USB 018 and BMX XCA USB 045 are designed for this type of use and avoid unexpected behavior of the PLC. Those cables are shielded and tested against electrical noises.
