2 General safety guidelines
2.1 Intended use
Programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices (such as industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile
Panels, etc.) as well as uninterruptible power supplies from B&R have been designed, developed and manufactured
for normal use in industry. They have not been designed, developed and manufactured for use that involves fatal
risks or hazards that could result in death, injury, serious physical harm or other loss without the assurance of
exceptionally stringent safety precautions. In particular, this includes the use of these systems to monitor nuclear
reactions in nuclear power plants, flight control systems, air traffic control, the control of mass transport vehicles,
medical life support systems and the control of weapon systems.
2.2 Protection against electrostatic discharge
Electrical assemblies that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be handled accordingly.
2.2.1 Packaging
•Electrical assemblies with housing:
Do not require special ESD packaging but must be handled properly (see "Electrical assemblies with hous-
ing").
•Electrical assemblies without housing:
Are protected by ESD-suitable packaging.
2.2.2 Regulations for proper ESD handling
Electrical assemblies with housing
•Do not touch the connector contacts of connected cables.
•Do not touch the contact tips on circuit boards.
Electrical assemblies without housing
The following applies in addition to "Electrical assemblies with housing":
•All persons handling electrical assemblies and devices in which electrical assemblies are installed must
be grounded.
•Assemblies are only permitted to be touched on the narrow sides or front plate.
•Always place assemblies on suitable surfaces (ESD packaging, conductive foam, etc.). Metallic surfaces
are not suitable surfaces!
•Assemblies must not be subjected to electrostatic discharges (e.g. due to charged plastics).
•A minimum distance of 10 cm from monitors or television sets must be maintained.
•Measuring instruments and devices must be grounded.
•Test probes of floating potential measuring instruments must be discharged briefly on suitable grounded
surfaces before measurement.
Individual components
•ESD protective measures for individual components are implemented throughout B&R (conductive floors,
shoes, wrist straps, etc.).
•The increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not required for handling B&R
products at customer locations.
2.3 Regulations and measures
Electronic devices are generally not failsafe. If the programmable logic controller, operating or control device or
uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that connected devices (such as motors)
are brought to a safe state.

General safety guidelines
6 SDL4 Converter User's manual V 2.00 Translation of the original documentation
When using programmable logic controllers as well as when using operating and monitoring devices as control
systems in conjunction with a Soft PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or similar product) or Slot PLC (e.g. B&R
LS251 or similar product), the safety measures that apply to industrial controllers (protection by protective equip-
ment such as emergency stops, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and international
regulations. This also applies to all other connected devices, such as drives.
All work such as installation, commissioning and servicing are only permitted to be carried out by qualified person-
nel. Qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the transport, installation, assembly, commissioning and
operation of the product and have the appropriate qualifications for their job (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident
prevention regulations must be observed.
The safety guidelines, information about connection conditions (nameplate and documentation) and limit values
specified in the technical data must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must be strictly
observed.
2.4 Transport and storage
During transport and storage, devices must be protected against undue stress (mechanical stress, temperature,
humidity, aggressive atmosphere).
2.5 Installation
•The devices are not ready for use and must be installed and wired according to the requirements of this
documentation in order to comply with EMC limit values.
•Installation must be carried out according to the documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
•Devices are only permitted to be installed by qualified personnel when the power is switched off. The control
cabinet must first be disconnected from the power supply and secured against being switched on again.
•General safety regulations and national accident prevention regulations must be observed.
•The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations (e.g. wire cross sec-
tion, fuse protection, protective ground connection).
2.6 Operation
2.6.1 Protection against contact with electrical parts
In order to operate programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices and uninterruptible power
supplies, it is necessary for certain components to carry dangerous voltages over 42 VDC. Touching one of these
components can result in a life-threatening electric shock. There is a risk of death, serious injury or damage to
property.
Before switching on programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices and uninterruptible power
supplies, it must be ensured that the housing is properly connected to ground potential (PE rail). The ground
connection must also be made if the operating and monitoring device and uninterruptible power supply are only
connected for testing purposes or only operated for a short time!
Before switching on, live parts must be securely covered. All covers must be kept closed during operation.
2.6.2 Ambient conditions - Dust, moisture, aggressive gases
The use of operating and monitoring devices (e.g. industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Panels, etc.) and unin-
terruptible power supplies in dusty environments must be avoided. This can otherwise lead to dust deposits that
affect the functionality of the device, especially in systems with active cooling (fans), which may no longer ensure
sufficient cooling.
The presence of aggressive gases in the environment can also result in malfunctions. In combination with high
temperature and relative humidity, aggressive gases – for example with sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine components
– trigger chemical processes that can very quickly impair or damage electronic components. Blackened copper
surfaces and cable ends in existing installations are indicators of aggressive gases.
When operated in rooms with dust and condensation that can endanger functionality, operating and monitoring
devices such as Automation Panels or Power Panels are protected on the front against the ingress of dust and
moisture when installed correctly (e.g. cutout installation). The back of all devices must be protected against the
ingress of dust and moisture, however, or the dust deposits must be removed at suitable intervals.

General safety guidelines

2.6.3 Programs, viruses and malicious programs
Any data exchange or installation of software using data storage media (e.g. floppy disk, CD-ROM, USB flash
drive, etc.) or via networks or the Internet poses a potential threat to the system. It is the direct responsibility of the
user to avert these dangers and to take appropriate measures such as virus protection programs, firewalls, etc. to
protect against them and to use only software from trustworthy sources.
2.7 Security concept
B&R products communicate via a network interface and were developed for integration into a secure network. The
network and B&R products are affected by the following hazards (not a complete list):
•Unauthorized access
•Digital intrusion
•Data leakage
•Data theft
•A variety of other types of IT security breaches
It is the responsibility of the operator to provide and maintain a secure connection between B&R products and the
internal network as well as other networks, such as the Internet, if necessary. The following measures and security
solutions are suitable for this purpose:
•Segmentation of the network (e.g. separation of the IT and OT networks)
•Firewalls for the secure connection of network segments
•Implementation of a security-optimized user account and password concept
•Intrusion prevention and authentication systems
•Endpoint security solutions with modules for anti-malware, data leakage prevention, etc.
•Data encryption
It is the responsibility of the operator to take appropriate measures and to implement effective security solutions.
B&R Industrial Automation GmbH and its subsidiaries are not liable for damages and/or losses resulting from, for
example, IT security breaches, unauthorized access, digital intrusion, data leakage and/or data theft.
Before B&R releases products or updates, they are subjected to appropriate functional testing. Independently of
this, the development of customized test processes is recommended in order to be able to check the effects of
changes in advance. Such changes include, for example:
•Installation of product updates
•Notable system modifications such as configuration changes
•Import of updates or patches for third-party software (non-B&R software)
•Hardware replacement
These tests should ensure that implemented security measures remain effective and that systems behave as
expected.

3.1 Information about this user's manual
This user's manual contains all necessary information about the SDL4 Converter. For information about SDL4 link
modules and SDL4 transmitters, see the Automation Panel and Automation PC user's manuals.
Information:
All specifications in dimension diagrams and associated tables are in millimeters [mm].
3.2 1-port SDL4 Converter1) for Automation PCs.
The SDL4 Converter makes operation via SDL4 with Automation Panels
possible for B&R industrial PCs that are not equipped with an SDL4 inter-
face or SDL4 slot. This makes it easy to upgrade systems to SDL4 as part
of retrofit measures and conversions.
When combined with an SDL4 interface integrated on a B&R industrial
PC, two Automation Panels can be connected in dual-independent display
mode.
3.3 3-port SDL4 Converter2) for Automation PCs.
The SDL4 Converter makes operation via SDL4 with Automation Panels
possible for B&R industrial PCs that are not equipped with an SDL4 inter-
face or SDL4 slot. In addition, up to 3 Automation Panels can be connected
to the 3-port SDL4 Converter in clone mode.
When combined with an SDL4 interface integrated on a B&R industrial PC,
an additional Automation Panel can be connected in dual-independent dis-
play mode.

3.4 Connection options
3.4.1 SDL4 operation
Smart Display Link 4 (SDL4) technology transfers all communication channels between a B&R industrial PC and
panel up to 100 m over a standard Ethernet cable (min. Cat 6a). An RJ45 connector is used for the device con-
nection, which is ideal for confined spaces in feed-throughs and swing arm systems.
3.4.1.1 SDL4 operation with SDL4 Converter via SDL
When operating SDL4 with an SDL4 Converter (5COSD4.1000-00, 5COSD4.1001-00) via SDL, communication
between a B&R industrial PC and the SDL4 Converter is handled using an SDL cable and an optional USB type
A/B cable. The Automation Panel is connected to the SDL4 Converter using an SDL3/SDL4 cable; the maximum
SDL4 cable length is 100 m.
In addition to the display data, information from the touch screen, matrix keys, LEDs and service/diagnostic data
is transferred.
If the B&R industrial PC is equipped with an SDL4 transmitter, then an additional SDL4 graphics line can also be
implemented.
The brightness of the display can be set via the ADI Control Center.
Operation with a USB type A/B cable
The Automation Panel can be up to 100 m away from the SDL4 Converter; USB 2.0 is fully integrated in SDL4
and transferred over this distance.
The maximum distance for transferring data between the B&R industrial PC and SDL4 Converter
(5COSD4.1000-00, 5COSD4.1001-00) is 5 m; USB 2.0 is transferred via an external USB type A/B cable.

3.4.2 General limitations/characteristics
•USB 2.0 transfer is limited to 150 Mbit/s with SDL4.
•Only Automation Panels with the same resolution (same timing) can be operated with 3-port SDL4 Con-
verter 5COSD4.1001-00.
•If fewer than 3 Automation Panels are operated with 3-port SDL4 Converter 5COSD4.1001-00, one Au-
tomation Panel must be connected on SDL4 Out 0.
•The numbering of the Automation Panels on the SDL4 Converter is permanent, regardless of whether an
Automation Panel is connected. The numbering of the Automation Panels depends on the SDL interface
to which the SDL4 Converter is connected. With the 1-port SDL4 Converter, this is either panel 0 or 8; with
the 3-port SLD4 Converter, this is either panel 0, 1 or 2 or panel 8, 9 or 10.
•A display is always emulated by the SDL4 Converter using EDID data and hot plug detection on SDL4 Out
or SDL4 Out 0, so DVI-compatible operation is possible. For this reason, the following behavior may occur
during operation with multiple displays.
In the operating system, a connected panel is reported by the video driver even in the following situations:
°No SDL3/SDL4 cable is connected.
°There is no connection established yet between the SDL4 link module and SDL4 Converter.
This behavior can be avoided by appropriate configuration in BIOS or via the graphics driver.
•If multiple USB devices are connected to the panel, it is important to note that only a certain number of
USB endpoints are available. If this number is exceeded, communication problems with the USB devices
may occur. This property is explained in detail below.
3.4.2.1 USB endpoint analysis
It is possible to analyze the number and type of endpoints on a particular USB device. Third-party USB analysis
tools can be used for this purpose.
The SDL4 connection has a limited number of USB IN and USB OUT endpoints. This can cause problems if multiple
USB devices are connected at the same time.
This limitation applies for each SDL4 connection (Automation Panel with SDL4 receiver).
Endpoints
Devices must be distinguished from endpoints:
A device can be considered a USB peripheral that connects to a host, such as a mouse, keyboard, camera, flash
drive or mass storage device such as a hard disk.
Endpoints can be considered as data sources or storage locations, i.e. buffers that cache data during a transaction.
This means that a USB device can have multiple endpoints. There is no direct relation between the number of
endpoints and the number of devices supported by a USB port.
Devices
SDL4 technology currently supports up to seven USB devices. Hubs are not counted since they are transparent
(not visible) from the user's perspective. They are not considered as a device, nor are they counted in relation
to endpoints.
The limitation concerning the maximum number of connected devices or maximum number of endpoints applies
as soon as one of the maximum values is reached. For example, if all endpoints are assigned (i.e. allocated) by
connecting two devices, no more devices are permitted to be connected (although the maximum of seven devices
has not yet been reached).
Hubs
SDL4 currently supports up to eight downstream ports per hub. This means that it is possible to identify all eight
ports on a given hub. By comparison, if SDL4 supported only four ports per hub, ports five to eight – on an eight-
port hub – would be switched off and therefore unusable.
If more than one hub is connected (e.g. if several hubs are linked together), the limit of eight ports per hub remains.

3.6 System data
3.6.1 5COSD4.100x-00
3.6.1.1 General information
The SDL4 Converter makes operation via SDL4 with Automation Panels possible for B&R industrial PCs that are
not equipped with an SDL4 interface or SDL4 slot. This makes it easy to upgrade systems to SDL4 as part of
retrofit measures and conversions.
In addition, up to 3 Automation Panels (with the same resolution) can be connected to the 3-port SDL4 Converter
in clone mode.
When combined with an SDL4 interface integrated on a B&R industrial PC, an additional Automation Panel can
be connected in dual-independent display mode.
