Chapter 4: USB Setup Interface
General
• The USB Setup Interface, which is included for all process interface versions, is dedicated
for setup purposes only
• Process Interface is the interface to the tool host computer or controller. This interface is
either a PROFIBUS-DP, RS 485, ModBus, USB, EtherCAT or an analog voltage interface.
• User Interface: AUTOZERO button, rotary switches for address setup and LED’s for status
display. The LED’s provide information depending on the interface type.
The purpose of the Setup interface is to do setup and diagnostics. It does not guaranty a response
in a controlled time frame. The USB operates either as MSD (mass storage device) or as CDC
(communication device class). The USB Setup Interface serves for configuration and
communication in non-industrial applications, e.g. use in a laboratory.
Installation
Electrical connection:
The USB Setup Interface is a micro-B connector labeled “SETUP” (see Figure 9).
The power Interface supplies the device with nominal 24V, which can vary from 20V to 30V. See
“Chapter 5 Process interfaces” for details.
Cable:
Any standard USB cable not longer than 3 m should support the communication with a PC.
