Installing Advantech Drivers

COM port is using Port 1 and Port 2 Example ICG.Support@advantech.com.tw. Install the VCOM Driver and Setting ICG.Support@advantech.com.tw. VCOM Port Device.

  • Unknown devices show up in the Windows Device Manager when Windows can’t identify a piece of hardware and provide a driver for it. An unknown device isn’t just unknown — it’s not functioning until you install the right driver. Windows can identify most devices and download drivers for them automatically.
  • Version 7.0 rev 0a Advantech Corp., Ltd. ADAM 5000 Configuration 1.1 ADAM 5000 The ADAM-5000 Distributed I/O Systems from Advantech are supported by the ADAM5K Device Type drivers in WebAccess. The ADAM5K Device driver reads the IO Modules of the ADAM-5000 directly. The modules contain a RS-485 port.
  • The Advantech WebAccess Modicon Modbus Device Driver can communicate with Ethernet TCP/IP communications (or RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 as a backup) using a packet version of the Modbus RTU protocol. Any TCP/IP compatible medium is acceptable, the most common being Ethernet.

Download the DAQNavi SDK from the Advantech support site. Also, download the driver for you specif interface.

  1. Ensure that the interface is disconnected from the computer
  2. Install the DAQNavi SDK
  3. Install the specific driver for your interface
  4. Connect the interface to the computer

Asmedia scsi & raid devices driver download for windows. Open the Advantech Navigator from the Windows Start menu. You should see your interface listed. From this dialog you can also test the values are responding to your input connections. Refer to the hardware documentation to understand the input requirements. It is often the case that if you are using contact closures you will have to add pull-up resistors (approx. 1K Ohm should be fine) on each input.

Installing Server

With Artist not running, go to the Program Files (x86)/Artist3 folder and double click AdvantechServer.msi to install the ShowCAD Advantech server. Now when you launch Artist you will see the server applet starting and being placed in the Windows task tray from where you can open it to ensure that it contains your interface. If it is not shown here Artist will not be able to talk to it.

In, Artist go to Navigator/Resources/Interface Manager/Advantech Data Acquisition. You should see your interface ID. This means that Aritst is communicating with it.

Next. you must connect the devices to a place holder in the Input Output Patch. Where you connect it depends on what type of input you are expecting from the device.

It should be noted that if you plug in an Advantech interface while the system is running you will have to open the server app window and press refresh in order for Artist to see it. You will also have to refresh devices in Artist. Of course on a cold boot this will not be an issue.

Digital Inputs

If your device has digital inputs, right-click Input Output Patch/Digital Inputs and select Properties. The dialog show the number of ports to add. A port is 8 digital inputs. So if you device supports 32 inputs that would be 4 ports.

Right-click on each of your new Digital Inputs and select Properties. From the dialog select the Interface device and the port to connect.

Analog Input
