Notice
Connecting a USB distributor (USB hub) to the HMI device's USB interface can cause a
restriction in the functionality of the connected USB devices and the HMI device.
Therefore, the simultaneous or alternating operation of USB devices connected via a USB
hub on the HMI device's USB interface is not approved.
This applies to USB hubs both with and without an internal power supply.
Notice
The connection and operation of USB memory media (e.g. USB stick) on the HMI device's
USB interface has not been approved.
Communication options
The table indicates the periphery units with which the HMI device can communicate.
