CAUTION – Do not use this tool if you are ill, on medication that is known to cause hand-eye coordination problems, under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs or other impairing substances, or suffering from depression. This includes over-the-counter medications if they cause drowsiness, impaired judgment, or diminished physical skills.
Quick Start Guide Installation Remove the protective cover from the X-PAQ controller top plate to expose the 9-pin connector. Align the 9-pin port of the ASG-NW2500 to the mating port on the top of the X-PAQ controller, connect, and tighten 4 screws.

Setup 1. The ASG-NW2500 requires a static IP address for the network, it is not DHCP compatible. Obtain the following network address information from your network administrator to program into the module. This should include: a. IP Address b. Subnet Mask c.
Overview The ASG-NW2500 is a network card that provides network connectivity to a plant floor control network using the Atlas Copco Open Protocol (ACOP), EtherNet/IP , and ToolsNet. This card adds an additional human-machine interface (LCD display and keypad) and several additional connectors used to attach to the network or other devices.
ESC Key Used to return to a previous menu level. During startup, the HMI will display the firmware version of the network controller in the ASG- NW2500. After that, the display will go into Operating Mode.
Page 11
Operating Mode In Operating Mode, the HMI will show the current operating status of the unit. To cycle through the various pieces of status information, use the up/down or left/right arrows on the HMI. Unit IP Address The default information shown on the HMI is the unit’s IP address.
Page 12
Active Connection Information Operating mode will also show the information about any active network connections. If no connections exist, the unit will show “No active connections”. Each connection will show the IP address of the connected client and some information that depends on the protocol of network connection.
Page 13
IP Address This menu selects the IP address used by the ASG- NW2500. Ask your network administrator for the correct value for this setting. Each unit in the same network should have a unique IP address. Subnet Mask This menu determines the subnet mask used by the ASG-NW2500.
Page 14
Serial Printer This menu determines the baud rate of the serial printer, and if the ASG-NW2500 makes ACOP communications over serial, the baud rate of those communications. The available selections are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 baud rates. See section later in this document for output format and example.

Reset Defaults This menu allows you to return some or all portions of the device to the factory defaults.

Page 17
Default: 30 Range: 0 to 7200 Recommendation: Set the Keep Alive on the ASG-NW2500 to at least twice the period at which the control system sends the keep alive packet to ensure a single missed packet does not cause a connection to be dropped.
Page 18
Values: No, Yes Cell ID This menu sets the 4 digit Cell ID reported by the ASG-NW2500 in ACOP result messages. Only numbers (0-9) are allowed. You may also set the controller cell ID with a bar code command (01).

ToolsNet requires the controller to establish connections. Since the ASG-NW2500 will repeatedly make network requests to attempt to establish a network connection to the ToolsNet server, you should only enable ToolsNet if you have a server set up in the network.
Page 20
ToolsNet server when sending a tightening or keep alive packet. If no response is received within the specified result timeout, the ASG-NW2500 will try again, up to the specified number of retries. Default: 5 seconds Range: 0 to 60 seconds If no response is received after all retries, the ToolsNet connection is considered broken and will have to be re-established.

ToolsNet server before considering the connection broken. If no response is received within the specified result timeout, the ASG-NW2500 will try again, up to the specified number of retries. If no response is received after all retries, the ToolsNet connection is considered broken and will have to be re-established.
ACOP functionality The ASG-NW2500 implements controller functionality for the Atlas Copco Open Protocol. It supports only a single Ethernet connection at a time. Command MIDs and revisions are implemented according to the Atlas Copco Open Protocol Specification release 1.3 revision 1.

Mapping of ACOP commands to X-PAQ inputs [MODIFIED from v4.0.4] The ASG-NW2500 will trigger the inputs of the X-PAQ based on the commands received from the ACOP network. The mapping will be: X-PAQ Input Number Task Selection Reset Enable/Disable The Select Pset command (MID 0018) will change the X-PAQ Inputs 1-6 and can be used for X- Task selection.
Page 24
MID 0018 command requires coordinating Task Selection input programming to be set on each task according to the chart to the right. See the ASG-CT2500 User Manual for more information on input programming of the X-PAQ Additional information Input 7 will be activated (pulsed) when the Reset Parameter set batch counter command (MID 0020) is received.
EtherNet/IP compatibility for integration. EDS Files EDS files to assist in integration to compatible equipment are available upon request from ASG, or on the product page of the website for the ASG-NW2500. Basic Setup The procedure required for making an EtherNet/IP connection to the ASG-NW2500 will largely depend on the equipment to be connected.
Page 26
Data Types Most data types used correspond to the data types in the EtherNet/IP specification and IEC 1131-3. One additional data type is defined for backwards compatibility points: Name Size (bytes) Description CHAR Character in the ASCII range. Used to indicate fields that should be interpreted as characters rather than numeric values, where USINT would be used instead.

This bar code would set the Controller name of the unit to “STATION 5A”. This command sets the VIN or Identifier part 1 reported by the ASG-NW2500 in ACOP result messages, the MID 0052 Vehicle ID Number, and the MID 0152 Multiple identifier and result parts notifications.
Page 32
Identifier part 2 This command sets the Identifier part 2 reported by the ASG-NW2500 in ACOP result messages and the MID 0152 multiple identifier and result parts notifications. Command: 06 Data length: up to 25 digits. *%06%B23FJ9S3%* Example: *%06%B23FJ9S3%* Identifier part 3 This command sets the Identifier part 3 reported by the ASG-NW2500 in ACOP result messages and the MID 0152 multiple identifier and result parts notifications.

Serial Printer The ASG-NW2500 has a “serial printer” port to which it sends data after each tightening for printing. You may deactivate this function or change the baud rate from the “Serial Printer” entry in the setup menu. Inside the Serial Printer menu, you may select the baud rate for communications with the serial printer or disable printing.
USB Data Management The ASG-NW2500 can perform 3 functions through the USB port: • Download results and network logs to a USB flash drive. • Update module firmware from a USB drive. • USB barcode scanning. When a USB device is plugged into the unit, it will switch to the USB menu screen, use the arrow keys on the HMI to navigate between submenus and the ENT to make a selection.
