3.5.4 Connecting IFP Standard, Extended and PRO to a PC
3.5.4.1 Important notes for connecting
The IFP is connected to a PC either directly or via the Transceiver Unit. The following applies:
• The video signal of the PC is transmitted to the IFP via the DisplayPort or DVI cable.
• The touch signals of the IFP are transmitted via a USB cable Type B connector - Type A
connector.
• Due to the separate lines, video and touch signal transmission are independent of each
other.
Personal injury or material damage may occur due to operator error when the video
signal is interrupted
If the video signal of the PC is interrupted during operation, e.g. by disconnecting the
corresponding connector, the transmission of the touch signals via USB cable remains
active. This can result in personal injury or material damage due to operator error.
Take the following precautions:
• Only carry out an operator action if a plant screen is shown on the IFP display.
• If you disconnect the DisplayPort/DVI connection of the IFP, then also disconnect the USB
connection of the USB cable Type B connector - Type A connector.
3.5.4.2 Connecting the standard version to a PC
Connect a standard version directly to a PC via the following cables:
• DVI or DisplayPort cable, maximum length 5 m
• USB cable Type B connector - Type A connector, maximum length 5 m
