The Problem: The USB Interface Was Not Designed for Industrial Environments<\/b><\/h4>\n

The USB interface was originally designed to give home computer users a universal method for connecting peripherals. Over time, USB has become the most common interface and has migrated to products targeting industrial applications. However, the USB mechanical connector was designed to be quickly connected and disconnected and did not include a locking mechanism. As a result, accidental cable disconnection is the single most common point of failure with USB industrial I\/O devices.<\/span><\/p>\n
