CP-Link 4

The CP29xx-0010 Control Panel has a CP-Link 4 input (X104) in the form of an RJ45 socket. This is not an Ethernet port. Via the interface, the control panel can be connected to an industrial PC at a distance of up to 100 m. The connection can be made either directly with an industrial PC with a corresponding PCIe module or indirectly via an intermediate transmitter box.

CP-Link 4 is available as a Two Cable Display Link on an industrial PC with PCIe module. The control panel can be connected directly to the industrial PC via the module. USB 2.0 (100 Mbit/s) and DVI are transmitted together via a CP-Link 4 cable. For the power supply of the CP29xx-0010 you have to connect an additional power supply (see Fig. 12).

Notice

Material damage due to double voltage connection with CU8803

Connecting an additional power supply to the voltage socket of the control panel can cause damage to the panel.

  • Power the control panel exclusively via One Cable Display Link through the CU8803 transmitter box.
  • When using the CU8803 transmitter box, never connect an additional power supply to the voltage socket of the control panel.
  • Only connect an additional power supply to the voltage socket of the control panel when using the CU8802 transmitter box.

If the industrial PC is not equipped with a PCIe module, a transmitter box is required for connecting a CP29xx-0010. The CU8802 transmitter boxes (Two Cable Display Link) and CU8803 (One Cable Display Link) are available for this purpose.

When installing the CP29xx-0010 with the CU8802 transmitter box, the industrial PC is connected to the transmitter box via USB and DP/DVI. The transmitter box is then connected to the control panel via the CP-Link 4 connection of the transmitter box using a CP-Link 4 cable. USB and DVI are transmitted together via this cable. For the power supply of the CP29xx-0010 you have to connect an additional power supply (Two Cable Display Link). Fig. 13 shows the wiring with the CU8802.

When installing the CP29xx-0010 with the CU8803 transmitter box, the industrial PC is likewise connected to the transmitter box via USB and DP/DVI. The transmitter box is then connected to the control panel via the CP-Link 4 connection of the transmitter box using a CP-Link 4 cable. With this box, USB, DP/DVI and power supply can be transmitted together via the cable (One Cable Display Link). Do not connect an additional power supply to the control panel to avoid damage. Fig. 14 shows the wiring with the CU8803.
