Use USB Hub in ctrlX CORE X3

[K-Zanaty]

Hello community,

I was wondering if it would be possible to use an USB-Hub to connect e.g. a WLAN-USB-Dongle and a second USB Drive to store and load data.

Did anyone tried that already or could give some advice? We would like to store, for example, log files through an HMI

Best,

Karim

Yes, this is possible and we are using this to e.g. have another LAN adapter and a storage device attached simultaneously via USB.

Please also have a look in the official documentation:

• ctrlX CORE Runtime, Application Manual
  • Chapter "Working with the ctrlX CORE -> Storage media -> SD cards and USB support"

I can also share good experience with USB-Hubs on the ctrlX CORE. I personally use a USB-Hub with another LAN Adapter and have a WLAN-Dongle and a storage device plugged in. 

Best regards, 

Nick
