AD-8526 Ethernet Converter
The converter can connect the RS-232C interface of a weighing instrument to the Ethernet (LAN) port
of a computer that is not equipped with an RS-232C interface. When using the AD-8526, the weight
data of the weighing instrument can be managed with the computer connected to the network. The
weighing instrument can also be controlled by the computer connected.

Connecting the Weighing instrument to a Computer
Caution
Contact the network manager before connecting the AD-8526 to a network.
The AD-8526 may generate a network error. A&D and dealers assume no responsibility for errors.
Affix the AC adapter labels to the AC adapter and the connector end of the cable.
Preset the IP address and subnet mask to the AD-8526 one at a time.
The IP address, 172.16.100.2, is set at the factory. Do not duplicate an IP address.
The IP address cannot be returned to factory setting.
We recommend that you write the IP address on the supplied label.
Step 1 Connect the AC adapter to the AD-8526.
Step 2 Connect the AD-8526 and the computer with a cross
cable directly or connect them with a hub and straight
cables.
Step 3 Input the IP addresses and a subnet mask of the
AD-8526 and computer. Refer to the procedure
[A&D WinCT-Plus] [Manual.PDF] of the CD-ROM
for the setting of devices.
Communication errors may occur with the wrong
procedure.
Step 4 Write the IP address on the "IP address label" and affix it
on the AD-8526 (and the weighing instrument if
necessary), where you can see the address easily.
Step 5 Install the data acquisition software "RsMulti" into the
computer. Refer to the [A&D WinCT-Plus] [Manual.PDF]
of the CD-ROM for this installation.
Step 6 Connect the accessory RS-232C cable between the
RS-232C interface of the weighing instrument and the
AD-8526’s port.
The Outline for the Windows Communication Software
Run the data acquisition software "RsMulti". Menu: [Start] [Program] [A&D WinCT-Plus] [RsMulti].
Refer to the [A&D WinCT-Plus] [Manual] for the operation.
The software can acquire data from multiple devices connected with a LAN or RS-232C.
The software can control these devices with commands.
The software can acquire data transmitted from devices.
Example
:
When pressing the
PRINT
key of the balance, data is output and is acquired with the computer.
The stored data can be used with EXCEL. (Install Microsoft EXCEL before use.)
Example A sample window of the "RsMulti"
Two balances are connected.
