AD v1 Communication and Power

arrow1_rotation Communication over a USB Connection arrow1_rotation Communication over a Wireless Connection

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.

Communication over a USB Connection

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.

Notice

LOSS OF DATA OR POWER

  • Use only USB cables ordered from Schneider Electric.

  • Use only USB cables that are designed for AD.

  • Do not use USB cables that exceed 3 m (10 ft).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of data or power.

Communication over a Wireless Connection

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.

Warning Warning

HAZARD OF EXPLOSION OR DEVICE DAMAGE

Use only Samsung-approved power adapters.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
