4 Initialization of the Hardware
If you start
initializing
do not connect any cables to the
ADwin-Gold
before
you have executed the
following steps
:
– Carry out completely the installation of the drivers and the power supply
at the computer or notebook (see manual:
"ADwin
Driver Installation").
– connect the
ADwin-Gold
only with the computer or notebook (s.b.).
– Read chapter 5 "Inputs and Outputs" in this manual.
– Begin now with the connection of the inputs and outputs.
Please take into account that there is a galvanic isolation between the
ADwin-
Gold
system and the computer via power supply cable, USB and Ethernet lines
(see chapter 3, section "Galvanic connection").
Providing the power
supply
Please pay attention that reliable power source is supplied.
This concerns the computer (standard delivery). Otherwise also the external
power supply, if operated in a car, the battery voltage.
Power supply
The power supply connection of the
ADwin-Gold
with 12V (see Annex, Tech-
nical Data) is made via the built-in connector, at left next to the power switch or
above the GND plug (see Fig. 4). Connect the 3-pin subminiature connector
there. For the pin assignment see the following picture:
Fig. 3 – Power supply connector (male)
For using the system with an external power supply unit you need the submin-
iature connector described above. The connector is provided by the following
manufacturer under the article number 712 299-0406-00-03 (Series 712):

When using the system with a notebook, power has to be supplied by a sepa-
rate power supply, (see chapter 2.2.2 on page 5). Please pay attention to the
fact that it is sufficiently dimensioned.
If using current-limiting power supplies, please pay attention to the fact, that
after power-up the current demand can be a multiple of the idle current. More
detailed information can be found in the Technical Data (Annex).
In case of a power failure
all data which have not been saved are lost. Not-
defined data (values) can under unfavorable circumstances cause damages to
other equipment.
Connection
If you have completed the installation of the
ADwin
drivers and the configura-
tions in the
ADbasic
menu "
Options
\
Compiler
", then connect the USB or
Ethernet data transfer cables and the power supply cable. Then start the com-
puter.
Power-up
In order to avoid switching off the system inadvertently, the switch is equipped
with a blocking device. Pull the switch a little bit, then pull it into the direction
"Power". Now the device is switched on and the LED lights up in red.
