Connecting AD v3 to an Automation Server and a 24 VAC or 24 VDC Power Supply

You connect AD v3 to an automation server in order to communicate with the automation server over a wired (USB) connection. You connect AD v3 to a 24 VAC or 24 VDC power supply in order to supply AD v3 with power. You use the Y-shaped cable with USB isolation (SXWADUSBC10012 or SXWADUSBC10013) to connect AD v3 to a 24 VAC power supply. You use either the Y-shaped cable with USB isolation or the Y-shaped cable without USB isolation (SXWADUSBC10002 or SXWADUSBC10003) to connect AD v3 to a 24 VDC power supply.

Notice

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

  • Always use the Y-shaped cable with USB isolation (SXWADUSBC10012 or SXWADUSBC10013) when connecting AD v3 to 24 VAC.

  • Do not use the Y-shaped cable to power any USB devices other than AD v3.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

AD v3 uses a wired (USB) connection to communicate with automation servers and the device can be powered either by a 24 VAC or 24 VDC power supply.

AD v3 has a screw hole on the back cover and the device is delivered with a screw and a washer (M4 x 10 mm Phillips pan head machine screw with external tooth washer) for connection of an earth ground wire.

Communication over a Wired (USB) Connection

The preinstalled USBnet driver enables AD v3 to communicate with automation servers over a wired (USB) connection.

24 VAC or 24 VDC power supply

AD v3 can be powered by a 24 VAC or 24 VDC power supply. To connect AD v3 to a 24 VAC power supply, the Y-shaped cable with USB isolation (SXWADUSBC10012 or SXWADUSBC10013) must be used. To connect AD v3 to a 24 VDC power supply, either the Y-shaped cable with USB isolation or the Y-shaped cable without USB isolation (SXWADUSBC10002 or SXWADUSBC10003) can be used. The Y-shaped cable enables data communication and power supply over a single cable. Only cables designed for AD v3 must be used. The required cables can be ordered from Schneider Electric.
