4.8 Four Automation Panel 900 units via SDL (AP Link)
An Automation Panel 900 unit is connected to the optional SDL transmitter (AP Link) via an SDL
cable. Three other Automation Panels of the same type are connected to this Automation Panel
and operated via SDL. All four panels show the same content (Display Clone).
USB is supported up to a maximum distance (SDL segment 1 + SDL segment 2) of 30 m on the
first two panels (front and back side). From a distance of 30 m and longer, USB is only available
for the first panel (front and back side). USB devices can only be connected directly to the
Automation Panel (without a hub).
4.8.1 Basic system requirements
The following table shows the possible combinations for the APC620 system unit with CPU
board to implement the configuration shown in the figure above. If the maximum resolution is
limited when making the combination then it is also shown in this table (e.g. for connecting a non-
B&R Automation Panel 900 device).
