USB 2.0
USB 2.0 Type A is the most common connector for connecting peripheral devices such as a keyboard, mouse, touchpad, touch screen, joystick control, microphone, RFID tag scanner, webcam, barcode scanner, endoscope camera, flash drive, fingerprint reader, FIDO security key and other USB devices. USB 2.0 allows you to connect peripheral devices at a distance of up to 5 meters in High-Speed mode at a speed of 480 Mbps.
Human interaction and recognition technologies (HIRT) play a significant role in enabling the human-centricity feature of Industry 5.0. The last-gen HIRT had many difficulties identifying the human’s behavior spatial complexity, emotions, and action characteristics. The emerging HIRT under Industry 5.0 agenda aims to optimally interconnect and integrate humans with machines so that the resulting human-machine interaction offers safer, streamlined, and more pleasant physical and cognitive tasks. Vision-guided robotics, short-wave infrared technology, sensor fusion, sensor data triangulation, embedded vision systems, adaptable human intention and trajectory prediction, and multi-lingual speech and gesture recognition are examples of vital emerging HIRT that can play a significant role in Industry 5.0. No sensing and cognition technology has the necessary emotional intelligence to seamlessly judge the ever-changing working condition and arrive at the best replication of what humans would genuinely do in a given situation. Indeed, HIRT may only deliver its functions while interacting with other technological constituents of Industry 5.0, such as CAI, C-CCP, cloud data, and edge computing. USB communication and power may be suitable for human interface RT (HIRT) devices.
For operation in Ex hazardous areas, peripheral devices are connected directly to the Ex USB 2.0 intrinsically safe barrier or via an Ex USB 2.0 Type A explosion-proof connector, depending on the needs of the reserve.
Implemented intrinsically safe Ex USB 2.0 barrier for hazardous areas outdoors and indoors, underground mines and quarries, dangerous for gas (methane), coal dust; according to explosion protection marking.
