ADwin-Pro module with USB interface
ADwin
If there is a great distance between the
ADwin
system and the PC, we
recommend that you use an
Pro-CPU
module with Ethernet interface.
– When you are using a
Pro-USB
module:
Link cable with two micro connectors (length approx. 0.2 m)
from the
Pro-USB
module to the
Pro-CPU-T9
module.
Follow the installation (in this order):
– Installation of the Pro-USB module
8.1 Installation of the
Pro-USB
module
Before connecting the PC to the
ADwin-Pro
system, read the
ADwin-Pro
hard-
ware manual, including the chapter "Initialization of the hardware". Configure
your
ADwin
system according to the information given in the manual.
Do not yet connect any inputs and outputs.
Install the module:
– Select a free plug-in slot near the CPU module
The link cable is kept short intentionally.
Remove the cover plate from an empty plug-in slot or remove the mod-
ule from this slot.
– Plug-in the
Pro-USB
module and connect the
ADlink
cable with the
Pro-CPU-T9
module
– Connect the
Pro-USB
module and the PC with the USB cable.
To ensure USB communication be as failure-free as possible, we recommend
to establish a low-impedance (short, very thick) ground connection between
PC-casing and the
ADwin
USB-device.
The ground connection may also – contrary to the inept USB cable – equalize
existing differences in potential very well.
8.2 Installation of the drivers
The operating systems Windows 9x, ME, 2000 and XP recognize the new
hardware and start the device manager in order to install the drivers. If the
operating system does not react, restart Windows.
Driver installation from
standard directory
Windows looks for the best driver (default) and asks for a source directory. With
standard installation starting from the
ADwin
CDROM version 3.00.2300, enter
<C:\ADwin>
(else
<C:\ADbasic3>
with older versions). Confirm your input
with „
Next
“.
