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...
RS-232C connector below. (D-Sub 9-pin) Rear View Connector operation lever 1 pc Note AC adapter 1 pc When the AD-8923-CC is to be built into a weighing system, be sure to ground the FG terminal. Please confirm that AD adapter...
When the weight value is stable (the header of the weight data received is “ST”), the STABLE indicator turns on. If the AD-8923-CC does not receive the weight data for two seconds or more, - - - - - is displayed (Bar display).
3. CONNECTION 3.1. Setting the AD-4212C and the AD-8923-CC Set the following items so that the AD-4212C and the AD-8923-CC have the same value for each item. Item AD-4212C AD-8923-CC Baud rate 600, 1200, 2400*, 4800, 9600, 19200 bps Data bits, parity...
When the AD-4212C is used, connecting power to either the AD-8923-CC or the AD-4212C will supply power to both devices. So, instead of the AD-8923-CC, using the AC adapter on the AD-4212C will supply power to the AD-8923-CC. If the power is connected to both, no problems occur because the...

Do not share the power line with other devices. • Strong noises introduced from other devices may cause damage to the AD-8923-CC. • Inrush current from other devices may cause the AD-8923-CC not to start up properly. • Circuit configuration of the AD-8923-CC may affect other devices to prevent them from functioning properly.

When the AC adapter is used Insert the AC adapter plug into the AC adapter input jack AC adapter input jack located on the rear of the AD-8923-CC and DC input terminal insert the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
3.4. Operation Displays the data transmitted by the weighing instrument connected. The AD-8923-CC key functions when connected to a weighing instrument are listed below: (e.g. when the AD-4212C is connected) Keys of the AD-8923-CC Model ON:OFF SAMPLE PRINT MODE RE-ZERO...
Calibration procedure Calibrates the AD-4212C using the calibration weight. Operation 1. Warm up the AD-4212C for 30 minutes or more with RESPONSE STABLE FAST MID. SLOW nothing on the pan. Press 2. Press the CAL key. Cal 0 is displayed. If you want to cancel calibration, press the CAL key.
4. FUNCTION SETTING Function setting specifies the AD-8923-CC performance. The parameters are stored in non-volatile memory, and are maintained even if the power line or AC adapter is removed. The function setting menu consists of two layers. The first layer is the “Class”...
4.1. Display and keys The STABLE indicator turns on to indicate that the parameter displayed is in effect. Selects a class or item. Changes the parameter. When a class is displayed, moves to an item in the class. When an item is displayed, stores the new parameter and displays the next class.
4.3. Initializing the AD-8923-CC Initialization restores the function settings of the AD-8923-CC to factory settings. Operation 1 Turn the power on. - - - - - or weighing mode display appears. While holding ON:OFF down 2 While holding down the ON:OFF key, press...
Used internally (#4-40UNC) − (Va) Used internally (The AD-8923-CC is a DTE device. To the weighing instrument Connect to a DCE device such as the AD-4212C, using a straight through cable.) Note When the user prepares a cable, do not connect to the pins that are...
6. CC-Link CONNECTOR The AD-8923-CC CC-Link is a remote device station of CC-Link ver.1.10. When a CC-Link is used, the AD-8923-CC can be controlled by the PLC remote I/O or remote registers. So, the program can be simple. And connection to a PLC is simple, thus, a weighing system can be built easily.
Writing is prohibited in the internally reserved areas. Writing in the remote output (RY) and the remote register (RWw) of the internally reserved areas may cause the AD-8923-CC to malfunction. Values of the remote input (RX) and the remote register (RWr) of the internally reserved areas are not fixed.

Decimal point RX0008 to RX000A, 3-bit binary notation RX000A RX0009 RX0008 Decimal point position No decimal point First digit Second digit Third digit Fourth digit Fifth digit Decimal point position example When displaying 1.000, express 3 as a decimal point at the third digit, thus 0x011.
Below examples are when the station number is set to 1. When connecting to a power supply When the AD-8923-CC is connected to a power supply and the CC-Link is ready, the request flag of initialization (RX0018) becomes active. The master station confirms that RX0018 is active, performs initialization and turns the reply flag of initialization (RY0018) ON.
Page 23
Requesting initialization from the master station When requesting the initial data setting to the AD-8923-CC from the master station, turn the request flag of initial data setting (RY0019) ON while the remote READY flag (RX001B) is active. The AD-8923-CC turns the remote READY flag (RX001B) OFF and performs initial data settings.
6.3. Fixing the decimal point position Using the function setting of dpp, the decimal point position of the value displayed on the AD-8923-CC and the decimal point position of the weight value output via CC-Link can be fixed. In this way, even if the minimum display is switched using the SAMPLE key, the digit position for CC-Link output does not change.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Description Communication settings of the AD-8923-CC do not match with those of the weighing instrument. appears eerror 10 Check the settings such as baud rate and parity and correct them as necessary. For details, refer to “3.1. Setting the AD-4212C and the AD-8923-CC”.
8. SPECIFICATIONS Power supply : External 24-VDC power supply (24 VDC±10% / 700mA) AC adapter (Output: 12 VDC / 300mA) Please confirm that the AC adapter type is correct for your local voltage and receptacle type. Transmission system : RS-232C, CC-Link (CC-Link ver.1.10 remote device station) Communications connector : D-Sub 9-pin (male) (RS-232C connector to the weighing instrument)
