Product Description

The Beckhoff CU8860-0000 is a USB interface module designed for industrial automation applications. It serves as a communication bridge between USB devices and a control system, enabling the integration of various USB peripherals into an automation system. The module supports a full-speed USB connection with a baud rate of 12 Mbit/s, allowing for efficient data transfer. It is equipped with one USB extender RX port (RJ45), enabling the connection of USB devices over longer distances using standard Ethernet cabling. This allows for flexible installation options to suit different setups and application requirements. The module features one USB Type-A port and one DVI input, providing versatile connectivity options for integrating peripheral devices.

The CU8860-0000 features a status display with two LEDs that provide real-time feedback on the operational status of the device. These LEDs indicate power status and data communication activity, allowing users to quickly assess the performance of the device for efficient monitoring and troubleshooting. The module is designed to support a maximum USB wiring length of 1 meter between the host and the extender. This ensures reliable data transmission and minimizes signal degradation, for optimal performance.

This module provides a power supply to USB devices with a maximum of 100 mA when no additional power supply is connected. This ensures that basic power needs are met for lightweight peripherals. For more power-demanding devices, it supports a maximum of 500 mA when an additional power supply is connected, offering enhanced capability for devices requiring greater energy. The additional power supply operates at 24 VDC and includes protection against polarity reversal, ensuring safe and reliable operation. This unit has a power consumption of 1.15 W ensuring low energy demands.
