Installing Advantech Drivers

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

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.

The Advantech WebAccess driver will search all NIC (Network Interface Cards) to find the addressed devices regardless of the configured Comport. For the Modbus TCP/IP driver, it is recommended to use a Com Port number greater then 2 and that.

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.
