 USB memory sticks can be plugged in and removed during operation. The plugged-in device is auto-

matically identified and mounted in the /media/usbX directory. When the USB stick is unplugged, the

relevant /media/usbX directory automatically “vanishes” again, if it is no longer being accessed by a

program (see above).

 Either the first partition or – if there is no partition – the entire memory is mounted on the memory

stick, i.e. it appears automatically in the appropriate directory.

 The first stick is mounted under /media/usb0, the second under /media/usb1, etc. Maximally 8 sticks

can be plugged in and used at once (/media/usb [0-7]. If a new stick is plugged in (or one which has

previously been plugged in and then removed), it will be placed in the directory with the lowest free

number. By connecting a USB hub it is possible to operate multiple sticks on one USB interface. In this

case attention must be paid that there are no USB devices still attached to the hub itself when it is

plugged in and unplugged.

NOTICE

The mechanical structure of the USB port is designed for max. 1,000 mating

cycles.

CAUTION

The maximum current available on the USB port is 0.5 A! Before you use

the USB device, check its power consumption.

The controller performs a reset if a USB device requires more than the max.

permissible current. A reset immediately stops the controller and the machine

and plant it controls. This may cause more extensive damage.

A USB device requiring more current cannot function and may be damaged by

this.
