AND AD-8526 Ethernet Converter

The AD-8526 Ethernet Converter can connect the RS-232C interface of a weighing instrument to the Ethernet (LAN) port of a computer that is not equipped with an RS-232C interface. By using the AD8526, weight data from a weighing instrument can be managed with a computer connected to the network. The weighing instrument can also be controlled by the connected computer

Unpacking the AD-8526

AC adapter labels
Affix them to the AC adapter and the connector end of the cable.

IP address label (5 labels)
Write a preset IP address and affix it to the weighing instrument

IP address protective cover
(5 labels) Affix it on the IP address label

• Note: Only the following cable is included if specified when ordering:
  DIN 7-pin to D-Sub 9-pin cable (AX-KO1786-200)

Connecting the Weighing Instrument to a Computer

Caution

• Contact your network manager before connecting the AD-8526 to a network. The AD-8526 may generate a network error. A&D assumes no responsibility for any errors that may be caused.
• Affix the AC adapter labels to the AC adapter and the connector end of the cable.
• Set the IP address and subnet mask to the AD-8526 one at a time. The factory default IP address is 172.16.100.2. Do not duplicate an IP address.
• The IP address cannot be returned to the factory setting. We recommend that you write the IP address on the supplied label.

Preparation

• Please download each software from the A&D website https://www.aandd.jp/products/software/software.html below.
  (1) Setting procedure “WinCT-Plus” instruction manual
  (2) IP address setting software “Device Installer”
  (3) Data acquisition software “WinCT-Plus”

• Step 1 Connect the AC adapter to the AD-8526.

• Step 2 Connect the AD-8526 and the computer with a cross cable directly or connect them with a hub and straight cables.

• Step 3 Input the IP addresses and subnet masks of the AD-8526 and computer. For the setting procedure, refer to the “WinCT-Plus” instruction manual. Communication errors may occur if set incorrectly.

• Step 4 Write the IP address on the IP address label and affix it on the AD-8526 (and the weighing instrument if necessary) where you can see the address easily.

• Step 5 Install the RsMulti data acquisition software to download the “WinCT-Plus” instruction manual.PDF from the A&D website. https://www.aandd.jp/products/software/software.html

• Step 6 Connect the accessory RS-232C cable between the RS-232C interface of the weighing instrument and the AD-8526’s port

Data Communication Software

The RSMulti data acquisition software can be launched on a Windows PC. Menu: [Start] [Program] [A&D WinCT-Plus] [RsMulti]. Refer to the Manual PDF file in the A&D WinCT-Plus for details on the operation.

• This software can acquire data from multiple devices connected by LAN or RS-232C.
• The software can control these devices with commands.
• The software can acquire data transmitted from devices. Example: When the PRINT key is pressed on the balance, data is output and is acquired with the computer.
• Stored data can be used with Excel. (Install Microsoft Excel before use.)

Example

255.255.0.0

GX-600| 172.16.100.2
GP-30K| 172.16.100.3

Two balances are connected.
