The flexible power options allow operation from USB bus power for low-power devices or external 5V DC for high-power peripherals. DIN-rail and wall-mount options simplify installation in control cabinets.

Ideal use cases

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Manufacturing and production lines
• Kiosks and digital signage
• Laboratory equipment connectivity
• Embedded systems and IoT gateways

Good to know

The EX-1179HMVS is plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, and Linux, requiring no drivers. It supports hot swapping, so you can connect or disconnect devices without rebooting. For self-powered operation, a 5V DC power supply is required (not included).
