ADwin Installation, manual version 2.1, December 2005 41
ADwin-Gold system with USB interface
ADwin
The ground connection may also – contrary to the inept USB cable – equalize
existing differences in potential very well.
Standard deliveryThe standard delivery items of the ADwin-Gold system:
– ADwin-Gold device
– Power adapter: A slot metal plate with socket, 3-pin, inverse-polarity
protected cable for power supply.
– Power supply cable (length approx. 2 m)
– USB cable (length 1.8 m)
If there is a great distance between the ADwin system and the PC, we
recommend that you use an ADwin-Gold system with Ethernet inter-
face.
– When you are using an external USB-link-adapter:
• ADwin-Gold-USB-Conv
• Power supply cable (length approx. 0.5 m)
• ADlink cable with two micro connectors (length approx. 0.5 m)
Follow the installation (in this order):
– Installation of the USB linkadapter
– Installation of the drivers
7.1 Installation of the USB linkadapter
For the installation of the USB linkadapter you must proceed in the order as fol-
lows:
– provide a power supply for the adapter and the ADwin-Gold system
– build a data connection between PC and ADwin-Gold system
Provide a power supply
There are 3 sources for the power supply:
1. Power adapter (is to be installed in the PC)
For the installation see the box below.
2. External power supply unit.
If you use an external power supply the
ADwin-Gold system is notconnected to
earth!
Connect the GND socket of the ADwin Gold with the central earth con-
nection point of your device.
3. An ADlink-PC-ISA board, installed in the PC
Use the shorter power supply cable (approx. 0.5 m) for the power supply
between USB adapter and ADwin-Gold system, and the longer cable for the
power supply of the USB adapter.
Build a data connection
The data are transferred via USB cable from the PC to the USB adapter; here
an ADlink cable transfers the data to the ADwin-Gold system ( and back).
– Connect USB adapter and ADwin-Gold system via ADlink cable.
– Connect PC and USB adapter with the USB cable.
