Connecting an Advanced Display to an AS-P server or AS-B server

You connect an Advanced Display to a AS-P server or AS-B server in order to communicate with EcoStruxure BMS servers over a USB connection, to supply the Advanced Display with power, and to ensure that its battery is charged.

AD v2 uses a wired (USB) connection to communicate with EcoStruxure BMS servers. During installation and commissioning, you can use a wireless access point to establish communication between AD v2 and EcoStruxure BMS servers. AD v2 can be powered either by a AS-P server, AS-B server, or USB power adapter.

Communication over a USB Connection

The preinstalled AD-Link application enables AD v2 to communicate with EcoStruxure BMS servers over a USB connection.

When AD v2 is connected to a AS-P server or AS-B server, AD v2 can be powered by the automation 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.

To connect an Advanced Display to an AS-P server or AS-B server

  1. Insert the USB cable from the Advanced Display into the USB host port on the AS-P server or AS-B server.

    Notice

    Connect only one Advanced Display to an AS-P server or AS-B server. The USB host port can supply only one Advanced Display with power. Connecting several Advanced Displays to an AS-P server or AS-B server can cause the Advanced Displays to lose performance, shut down, or discharge their batteries.

  2. If an Attention message “Unable to find software on your computer that can recognize your device...” appears on the Advanced Display, ignore the message and tap OK .

  3. Ensure that the screen timeout is configured to automatically turn off the screen when you are not using the device, because the sleep mode is used to fully charge the battery.
