Adam4520 under LabView

Hi!

does somebody have experience with Adam 4520? I think it is the interface
for the other
Adam Modules, and it has no address, so do I need to set it up for LabView?
If yes, how can I do it ?

Thanks!

Hi Le,

One thing you might want to check is that you have installed the Windows NT
drivers for the Advantech hardware. Once that is installed the LabVIEW
drivers should show up the new hardware. I've used the ADAM 5000 series
hardware a fair bit with LabVIEW and have found that the best way to talk to
them was by using VISA drivers and sending the commands which are shown in
the documenation for the ADAM's hardware. The ADAM-4520 is an RS232-485
converter and requires no software configuration. The only settings for that
are the DIP switches located inside the box for controlling the baud rate
and RS422/485 modes.

If you need any more assistance let me know.

Hi Le,

Just one other thing I forgot to mention about the Windows NT driver for the
advantech hardware. You need to go into the Device Installation program
which it installs, then add the COM port with the correct parameters, and
then you can add your ADAM's devices onto this COM port. Those devices you
have added should then show up in the labVIEW program when you run it.

Regards,

Shane

I have used them with Windows NT with no problem. As I mentioned
earlier you should have an OPC server to communicate with the 4520
from LabVIEW. It might be possible to communicate in other ways, but
it won't be easy like the OPC.
