Programmable, software-controlled, industrial USB 3.0 hub with 8 fast-charging (4A) software controlled ports, 2 host connections, a dedicated daisy-chain port, and a dedicated port for control. Control USB Hi-speed, SuperSpeed data and power lines. Detect device enumerate speed. Set current limits for each port and monitor voltage and current on each port. Boost USB2 signal levels to account for difficult interconnection environments. Rugged steel DIN rail mountable housing with ESD protection up to 30kV. The USBHub3+ provides unprecedented control of USB ports, allowing: Enable/Disable any downstream Port; Selectable control of HiSpeed, SuperSpeed and power lines for any port; Monitor voltage and current on each port; Supply up to 5A per port; Set current limits on any port; Select between two (2) host connections; Maintain software control through a dedicated control port; Expand to multiple hubs via expansion port without sacrificing downstream port count. By integrating Acroname's BrainStem technology, the USBHub3+ can be controlled with a simple and powerful programming API in C++ and Python. A LabVIEW interface is also available. Acroname provides HubTool as an example UGI application which can be used to quickly setup or control the hub. The BrainStem APIs and HubTool is available on all modern operating systems (MacOSX, Linux and Windows 7-10 (32bit and 64bit)). And of course, the BrainStem technology provides an embedded, real-time virtual machine which can provide completely automatic control of all features of the USBHub3+ without needing a host PC.
