Elektronik GmbH USB hub 6-Port, 2 control inputs Product documentation
1 Safety instructions
The USB hub 6-Port is intended for use indoor. It may not be exposed to moisture.
The device has no parts that can be replaced by the user. Any repair must be carried out by a trained
technician. Before opening the housing, all cables must be disconnected from the device.
2 General information
The USB hub can be operated on the USB host alone (bus-powered) or with the use of a 5VDC power supply
with an output power of at least 16W or an output current of at least 3.2 A (self-powered), which is enough for
500 mA output current on each USB-Port. For the maximum output current of 5A, a 5.2A (26W) power supply
is needed. The device automatically detects and switches between bus-powered and self-powered modes.
The USB hub is re-enumerated when the external power supply is connected or disconnected.
This USB hub has six USB 2.0 downstream ports that can be turned on and off individually via USB. When they
are turned off, the power supply (+5V) and the data lines are isolated by semiconductor switches. Control is
provided by the Toolmonitor USB hub 6 (PC software). Whether ports are active after the device is turned on,
and which ports, can be configured and stored.
The USB 2.0 host connection is usually also used to control the USB hub. Alternatively, however, control can
also be provided from another host using the additional USB 2.0 connection on the back.
In addition to this control via USB, ports can alternatively also be turned on and off via external control inputs.
Whether and which ports should be activated after the USB hub is turned on (for example to have access to
the mouse or keyboard) can be stored in non-volatile storage.
A number that can be stored in the device can be used to distinguish between multiple USB hub 6-Port units
on one PC.
The USB hub is controlled through a virtual serial interface with simple text commands (see chapter 8). This
makes it possible to use the USB hub under Linux as well. If the operating system does not already provide
native support for USB serial converters from FTDI, Linux drivers can be found at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm. The Toolmonitor USB hub 6-Port can also be installed, which
provides a user interface for the control and configuration of the USB hub. It talks to the USB hub through the
virtual serial interface and in turn offers an interface for remote control.
External software can be used to control the Toolmonitor USB hub 6-Port completely remotely. COM/DCOM
or a .Net assembly can be used as the interface. This allows the Toolmonitor USB hub 6-Port to be integrated
into many different applications (MCD TestManager CE, LabView ®, Microsoft Visual Studio ® (C#, C++, Visual
Basic), Microsoft Office ® (for example Excel ®), Open Office ®). For the use on Linux, this USB hub 2.0 6-Port is
recommended. Control via virtual serial interface is also possible.

4 Installation of software, drivers and hardware
4.1 Installation of software
On the USB storage card included, the Drive:\Software\Installer directory contains the installation file for
the Toolmonitor. To install it, start the file USBHub6Install.msi and follow the instructions of the
installation dialog.
4.2 Installation of drivers
The drivers for the USB hub are integrated into the operating system. For the controller, the driver under
Windows (starting with Windows 7) is automatically downloaded from Windows Update. For older
Windows version (starting with Windows XP) or if no Internet connection is available, the driver can be
installed manually. The installation file for this driver is on the USB storage card included, in the
Drive:\Software\Drivers directory. Start the file CDMxxxxx_Setup.exe file located there (xxxxx is a number
denoting the version number). After installation, it will take another few seconds before the USB hub is
ready to use.
The USB storage card provided cannot be operated on the USB hub without a power supply. Please
connect a suitable power supply to the USB hub or plug the USB storage card into a USB connector on
your PC.
4.3 Connecting the hardware
The USB hub can be operated alone on the USB host (bus powered) or additionally with a 5VDC power
supply (self powered) with at least 16W output power, or 3.2A output current, which is sufficient for
500mA output current on each USB port, including the power supply to the USB hub. For the maximum
output current of 5A, a 5.2A (26W) power supply is needed. Weaker power supplies can lead to functional
problems due to overload.
Weaker power supplies can be used. However, it is then the user's responsibility to ensure that they
are not overloaded. Signs of overload are dropped connections and error messages related to excess
USB current.
Connecting or disconnecting the external power supply logs the USB hub out of the operating system and
logs it back in with the changed power supply (bus powered/ self powered). The ports shut off during this
and switch back to their original state after reconnection. Without a power supply, the USB hub must be
connected to a PC USB connection or an active hub. Then each port has at most 100mA available with a
sum total of 400mA, since the USB hub itself requires 100mA in this situation. The deciding factor here is
the required current which the connected devices registered and not the (possibly lower) actual current
consumption.
The connection for the external power supply is a DC connector with either a 2.1mm or a 2.5mm inner
diameter and at most 6mm outer diameter. The polarity is arbitrary (as long as it is not AC!)

Front view of the USB hub:
Connecting the USB hub to your PC:
The USB hub can be controlled either through the hub input ("USB", on the right) or an external control
("ext. control", on the left). If the external USB control input is connected to another host, control is
carried out through it and only the pure USB hub functionality will remain on the hub input. Alternatively,
if configured correctly the USB ports can also be turned on and off from the parallel input (see also page 7
and page 13).
If no USB host is connected to the USB hub input ("USB", on the right), then all USB ports are turned
off or remain off. The exception to this rule are pure charging ports (DCP or chargeremulation), if a
power supply is connected. Once a USB host is connected and as long as it stays connected, the ports
will be turned on as configured.

5.5 Function of the USB ports
5.5.1 Operating modes
The USB hub provides six high-speed-capable USB 2.0 ports. Each port can be configured to one of four
modes. These four modes are:
1. Standard port (SDP):
If the maximum current is exceeded, the port shuts off.
2. Charge-capable port (CDP):
Like a standard port, but it announces itself to the connected USB device as a charge-capable USB
port according to the USB battery charging specification V1.2 (USB-IF BC1.2 CDP).
3. Dedicated charging port (DCP BC1.2)
The port announces itself to the connected USB device as a dedicated charging port according to
the USB battery charging specification V1.2 (USB-IF BC1.2 DCP).
The current is limited to the maximum possible value.
In this mode, no USB communication is possible with the connected device!
4. Charger emulation
The port attempts to negotiate a charging protocol with the connected device. To do this, it tries
different variants one after the other, including YD/T-1591 (2009) and variants compatible with
many portable devices from Apple® and RIM®.
The current is limited to the maximum possible value.
In this mode, no USB communication is possible with the connected device!
Dedicated charging port connection and charger emulation can also be active without a host
connected (operation as a standalone charger).
Due to the many charging schemes – some of which are manufacturer-specific – there can be no
guarantee that battery charging will succeed with a particular mobile device and that no damage can
result!
For operation as a charging port or a charger, it is necessary to connect a power supply.
5.5.2 Connection detection
The USB ports have a function to detect when a USB device is connected. This also works for
connected devices that only use the power from the connection (e.g. USB fans or reading lights).
Connection detection can be disabled individually for each port if the small test current should lead to
unexpected problems.
In CDP mode, it may be that the connection detects a device, but does not detect when it is
disconnected. This has no effect on the other functions of the USB hub. Connecting a normal USB
device or turning the port on and off will reset connection detection again.

BC 1.2 dedicated charging port (DCP)
2000mA – 2500mA
Charger emulation
2000mA – 2500mA
5.5.3 Current measurement
Each USB port has a mechanism to measure the current, with a resolution of about 10mA. This permits
the actual current consumption of the connected device to be measured and monitored. This applies
to both operating currents of USB devices and non-USB devices as well as charging currents.
5.5.4 Current limitation
The switching threshold for current limitation can be configured individually for each USB port in steps
of 500mA to up 2500mA. Current limitation is in principle configurable regardless of use, but the
following limits are recommended:
Most USB connectors are specified at 1.5A to 1.9A. So in general, a current limitation of no more than
2000mA should be configured.
The total output current can be no greater than 5000mA. If an attempt is made to configure a higher
limit, an error message will occur. The power supply connected must be able to provide the output
current and the operating power for the USB hub (see technical data) at a stable voltage of 5V.
5.5.5 Host notification
If too much current is drawn from a USB port, it shuts off and the operating system is notified. User
intervention is then required to restore the USB port to operation. In automated systems, this may be
undesired. For this purpose, host notification can be disabled for certain USB ports or for all of them. A
restart is then carried out via the controlling application. To do this, the port in question must first be
specifically turned off and then back on.
The response of the operating system to overload events may differ from the behavior described
above, depending on the version and the driver used.
Port 5 and Port 6 cannot generate host notifications!
5.5.6 Connection type
It can be specified for each individual port whether it has established a USB 2.0 connection.
The connection to the host (PC) can also be queried in the same way.
Page 9 of 18
Elektronik GmbH USB hub 6-Port, 2 control inputs Product documentation
5.5.7 Polarity of data lines
For special applications, the D+ and D_ data lines can be individually swapped for each port. This
function is normally not used.
The USB hub will restart after this command is executed. All connected devices will temporarily be
disconnected from operating power.
5.6 Power supply
5.6.1 With an external power supply
The USB hub detects an external power supply when a voltage of more than 4.8V is connected to the
DC connector. If the voltage drops to about 4.7V, the power supply is considered to have been
disconnected. So the power supply should have a voltage of at least 5V, and no greater than 5.25V.
The polarity of the connected voltage is corrected internally to the device. The power requirement
depends on the devices connected and the current limits configured. The voltage may not be less than
4.7V or greater than 5.25V over the entire power range. The USB hub prevents current from flowing
from the power supply through the USB cable to the power supply as long as the operating conditions
are observed.
Excessive power supply voltages risk damage to the USB hub and the devices connected to it!
5.6.2 Via the USB host
The power supply of the USB hub and the devices connected to it can also be provided through the
USB host connection. In this case, the total current for the USB hub and devices may not be more than
500mA. A port on the USB hub can then provide at most 100mA. If these restrictions are not followed,
error messages, connection drops, and other malfunctions may result. Thus in this case, devices should
only be connected that have their own power supply or that need only a little power from the USB
connection (such as a keyboard).

A checked box in this column causes the corresponding USB port no longer to be turned on and off via
USB, but rather from the corresponding signal on the parallel input.
This setting only has an effect if the corresponding port is set to parallel port control ("External
controlled"). If this checkbox is checked, the USB port is turned on for a high level on the corresponding
parallel input; otherwise, for a low level. An open parallel port input corresponds to a high level.
This setting only has an effect if the corresponding port is not set to parallel port control ("External
controlled"). Turns the corresponding USB port on when the box is checked.
Turns device detection on. In DCP mode and charger emulation, device detection is necessary for
correct functioning. Devices that consume less than 1mA from the USB port are frequently not
detected and the port is then not released. For this case, device detection can be turned off.
Places the corresponding port into SDP, CDP, DCP, or charger emulation mode.
This function reports an excess current event to the operating system and leaves further handling to it.
Without this function, the port will turn back on as soon as the overload is removed. Host notification
is available only for the first four ports.
Sets the current limitation per port. In total, at most 5000mA can be set. Without a power supply, at
most 100mA per port is permitted (400mA total).

The command line interface uses simple ASCII strings. Recognized valid commands are acknowledged with the
string "ok" if the command is a configuration command. For a read command, the corresponding data is sent. An
unrecognized command is answered with "???". In ready mode, all configuration commands are answered with
"off". A prefix "D" changes no current settings, but rather specifies a write or read access to the non-volatile
memory from which the configuration will be taken when the USB hub is turned on. All strings are terminated
with a CR (ASCII 13).
