2.1 Connection options
The Automation Panel 9x3 / 9xD can be connected to a B&R Industrial PC in SDL and DVI operating modes. The
connection options listed below provide an overview of the operating modes and possible limitations.
2.1.1 SDL operating mode
2.1.1.1 SDL Operating Mode 1
SDL operating mode 1 allows all communication between the Automation Panel and a B&R Industrial PC to be
handled using a SDL single cable.
This not only includes the display data, but also touch screen, matrix key, LED, service and diagnostic data. The
Automation Panel can be installed up to 40 m from the B&R Industrial PC. USB 1.1 is fully integrated in SDL and
transferred over this distance as well without the need for external modules.
The brightness of the display can be configured using the ADI Control Center.

2.1.1.2 SDL Operating Mode 2
In SDL operating mode 2, communication between the Automation Panel and the B&R Industrial PC takes place
using an SDL cable connected to the Panel In interface and a USB type B cable connected to the USB In interface.
Data from the display, resistive touch screen, matrix keys and service/diagnostic data is transferred via the SDL
cable. Multi-touch touch screen data is transferred over the USB cable. The Automation Panel can be installed up
to 5 m (USB specification) away from the B&R Industrial PC. This distance allows USB 2.0 data to be transferred
over the USB cable. External modules are not necessary.
The brightness of the display can be configured using the ADI Control Center.
