Hints for the deployment of the Green Cable

What is the
Green Cable?
1-4
The Green Cable is a green connection cable, manufactured exclusively for
the deployment at ADAM System components.
The Green Cable is a programming and download cable for ADM CPUs
8xxx and ADAM fieldbus masters. The Green Cable from Advantech is
available under the order no. ADAM-8950-0KB00.
The Green Cable allows you to:
• transfer projects serial
Avoiding high hardware needs (MPI transducer, etc.) you may realize a
serial point-to-point connection via the Green Cable and the MP
This allows you to connect components to your ADAM CPU that are able
to communicate serial via an MPI adapter like e.g. a visualization
system.
• execute firmware updates of the CPUs and fieldbus masters
Via the Green Cable and an upload application you may update the
firmware of all recent CPUs 8xxx and certain fieldbus masters (see
Note).
Important notes for the deployment of the Green Cable
Nonobservance of the following notes may cause damages on system
components.
For damages caused by nonobservance of the following notes and at
improper deployment, Advantech does not take liability!
Note to the application area
The Green Cable may exclusively deployed directly at the concerning jacks
of the ADAM components (in between plugs are not permitted).
At this time, the following components support the Green Cable:
CPUs 8xxx and the fieldbus masters ADAM 8208-1xx01 from Advantech.
Note to the lengthening
The lengthening of the Green Cable with another Green Cable res. The
combination with further MPI cables is not permitted and causes damages
of the connected components!
The Green Cable may only be lengthened with a 1:1 cable (all 9 Pins are
connected 1:1).
