Functional Details
External power connectors
The USB-SSR08 has two external power connectors labeled
POWER IN
and
POWER OUT
on the enclosure.
The
POWER IN
connector is labeled
PWR IN
on the board, and the
POWER OUT
connector is labeled
PWR
OUT
on the board.
Connect the
POWER IN
connector to the su9 V external power supply. External power is required to
operate the USB-SSR08. The
POWER OUT
connector lets you power additional daisy chained MCC USB
Series products from a single external power supply. Depending on your load requirements, daisy chained
products may require a separate power supply. Refer to "
Power limitations using multiple USB-SSR08 devices
"
on page 3-4 for more information.
USB LED
The
USB
LED indicates the communication status of the USB-SSR08. This LED uses up to 5 mA of current
and cannot be disabled.

Power is not supplied by the external power supply, or a power fault has occurred. A power fault
occurs when the input power falls outside of the specified voltage range of the external supply
(6.0 V to 12.5 V).
I/O module type switch (S1)
Switch
S1
is a four-position switch that sets the type of each module group for input or output (default). You
cannot mix input and output modules within a group. You can use
Insta
Cal to read the current I/O type
configuration for each module group.
