9.4. Cyclic data layout Once the Industrial Ethernet connection is established between the AD-4411 and PLC, cyclic data exchanges are performed periodically. The cyclic data consists of the Write data area for sending data from the PLC to the AD-4411 and the Read data for sending data from AD-4411 to the PLC.

Use the following procedure to execute a function such as tare. Set the command "0" in the "Command" area on PLC. When AD-4411 accepts the command "0", it echoes back "0" in the "Response" area and waits for a command.
Page 26
Use the following procedure to read a setting value. Set the command "0" in the "Command" area on PLC. When AD-4411 accepts the command "0", it echoes back "0" in the "Response" area and waits for a command from PLC.

Use the following procedure to write a setting value. Set the command "0" in the "Command" area on the PLC. When AD-4411 accepts the command "0", it echoes back "0" in the "Response" area and waits for a command from PLC.
A PC can be used to read measured values and write setting values via USB (virtual COM port). AD-4411 can be operated via USB bus power, but the USB circuit is not isolated, so noisy environments may affect measurement performance. For normal operation, use the 24 V power supply port.
