AD v1 can use either a wired (USB) connection or a wireless (WiFi) connection to communicate with EcoStruxure BMS servers. AD v1 can be powered either by a SmartX AS-P server, SmartX AS-B server, or USB power adapter, but not by an Automation Server.
The preinstalled SmartX AD-Link application enables AD v1 to communicate with EcoStruxure BMS servers over a USB connection.
When AD v1 is connected to a SmartX AS-P server or SmartX AS-B server, AD v1 can be powered by the SmartX server through the USB cable. The screen must not be turned on constantly because this may drain the battery.
When AD v1 is connected to an Automation Server, AD v1 must be powered by a USB power adapter. The Automation Server does not provide enough power for AD v1. A USB “Y” cable allows you to connect AD v1 to two different devices, an Automation Server and a USB power adapter, to receive data and power respectively. The screen must not be turned on constantly because this may drain the battery.
Use only Samsung-approved power adapters. Using other power adapters can cause the battery to explode or damage the tablet.
AD v1 can communicate with EcoStruxure BMS servers through a wireless access point (AP), which is connected to the same network as the EcoStruxure BMS servers. When used as a stationary HMI terminal, AD v1 is connected to a USB power adapter to ensure that its battery is charged.
