1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how the AD-8923-CC remote controller works and how
to get the most out of it in terms of performance.
Read this manual thoroughly before using the AD-8923-CC and keep it at
hand for future reference.
1.1. Features
Connecting the AD-8923-CC remote controller and the AD-4212C series
production weighing unit will enable transmission of the weight data to a
PLC using CC-Link.
z Displays the weight data transmitted from the AD-4212C.
z Can change the weighing speed of the AD-4212C, calibrate the
AD-4212C using an external calibration weight and share the power
supply with the AD-4212C.
Note
When the AD-4212C is used as the weighing instrument,
connecting power to either the AD-8923-CC or the AD-4212C
will supply power to both devices. Refer to “3.3. Turning the
power on.”
z Using the CC-Link interface, one CC-Link master station can control up to
42 units consisting of an AD-8923-CC and AD-4212C, to receive data or
perform re-zeroing.
Note
CC-Link is a high-speed field network able to simultaneously
handle both control and information data. With a high
communication speed of 10 Mbps, CC-Link can achieve the
maximum transmission distance of 100 meters and connect
to 64 stations.
When a CC-Link network is configured using the AD-8923-CC,
the maximum number of stations (or units) will be 42.
