If USB components that are connected to the MC 6222 or BF 250 require more than 0.5 A,
a separate power supply becomes necessary for these components.
One possibility is the USB hub from HEIDENHAIN.
The MC 6222 and BF 250 feature power distribution switches.
These are electronic fuses that separate USB devices that draw too much current from the
MC 6222 or the BF 250.
