5. Connections

The AD-8552EIP converts RS-232C communications of the weighing device into
EtherNet/IP communications (EtherNet/IP converter).
By using EtherNet / IP, the balance can be controlled directly from thenetwork.
The weighing value can be reset to zero (re-zero) by operating from thePLC.
The hook on the back of this device allows one-touch DIN rail mounting.
When connected to a AD-4212C, etc., response speed can be changed,
Sensitivity adjustment can be done with an external weights, and power can besupplied to the weighing instrument. Please check A＆D website for compatible
weighing instruments.

SwitchA potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in personal injury or property damage.
Before use, confirm the following items for safe operation.
This device is a precision instrument. Please handle with care.
Avoid vibration, shock, extremely high temperature and humidity, direct
sunlight, dust, splashing water, air containing salt or corrosive gases,and places where flammable gases are present.
The operating temperature is 0°C to +50°C (32°F to 122°F).
Please ground the module.
The power supply is DC24V. If it contains a momentary power failure ornoise components, that may cause a malfunction. Use a stable powersupply. Please avoid sharing with the power line.
Do not share the earth ground line and power line with other electrical
power equipment.
Do not turn on the converter until installation is complete. The convertor
is not equipped with a switch to turn it off.
To prevent foreign matter from entering this device, do not remove theprotective cover until the installation and wiring are completed. Also, toprevent overheating, be sure to remove the protective cover before turningon the power after installation and wiring.
