The information in this document must not be changed without separate notification from plc2 Design GmbH. Furthermore, plc2 Design GmbH does not enter into any further obligations with this document. The software presented in this document is provided based on a general licensing agreement or an individual license. Use and duplication is permitted only in agreement with the contractual stipulations.
02.1 Requirements for Users and Obligations of the Operator Failure to comply with the Safety Advice may lead to the risk of damage to life and limb or property. PLC2 and its representatives accept no liability for any damage or injury caused by improper operation or improper use of the product. Only use the product if you have read and understood the information concerning safe operation and have the required qualifications and training for this product.
Connecting the ADL-1000 to any safety-critical infrastructure can cause improper behavior or malfunction of the vehicle or subsystems thereof. Do not connect the ADL-1000 to safety-critical infrastructure inside the vehicle. If data of subsystems should be measured by the ADL-1000, make sure to use a read-only connection.
Potential overheating of the box If the ventilation requirements are not met, correct heat exchange is not possible. This can lead to higher temperatures inside the device. Although the ADL-1000 is protected against overheating, this can lead to degrading overall performance.
Recording format ADL-1000 will record all data in a proprietary format, which is yet to be defined. PLC2 shall provide a software Readout and Conversion Application (RCA) tool which can convert the recorded data files into standard, user-facing formats such as PCAP or MDF4 on readout.
Whereas the authentication key is known and provided by the user, the data encryption key is generated and kept internal to the SSD. ADL-1000 shall be capable of storing one authentication key per SSD set, which means that all SSDs in a set must share the same authentication key.
Figure 04.2: ADL-1000 interfaces 04.2.1 Power and GPIO Connector ADL-1000 features a heavy-duty D-Sub connector for power, General-Purpose Input and Outputs (GPIOs) and Controller Area Network (CAN)-Bus. The connector provides four General-Purpose Input (GPI) and four General-Purpose Output (GPO). A total of two CAN-FD interfaces are available, of which one can be used for booting up the system on a user-defined command.
04.2.2 U.2 Drive Trays ADL-1000 features eight U.2 SSD trays for the fast exchange of SSDs. These are accessible on the front panel. At the end of a recording session, the user can remove the corresponding SSDs (indicated by the LED light of the U.2 tray) and plug them into another computer or a server for readout.
Two variants of U.2 trays from ICY DOCK are available and compatible with the ADL-1000. The standard tray – MB991TRAY-B – has a mechanical spring lock mechanism to hold the U.2 drive in place. The second variant – MB994TK-B – has an additional key lock to prevent opening due to heavy vibrations or shocks.
ADL-1000 features two QSFP28 connectors, which are used for 40 or 100 GbE connectivity. Compared to the SFP+ connectors, QSFP connectors allow for higher integration density and data rates. They also enable the ADL-1000 to be connected to a 40G or a 100G network switch.
It is recommended that two persons install the ADL-1000. The ADL-1000 is built to be mounted into a 19 in server rack. Hold the device in the 19 in server rack at the desired height. Use at least four M6 screws, two on each side, of matching length. Use M6 nuts with washers or cage nuts to secure the device to the 19 in server rack frame.
Make sure to use the included GPIO-Power-D-Sub-cable. It is not recommended to modify it any way NOTICE Disconnection of ADL-1000 power The ADL-1000 is laboratory equipment. As such, the ADL-1000 requires a disconnection device in the power line, e.g. contactor, relays or switch. Ensure that these disconnection devices are easily accessible at all times. NOTICE Damage of power cable The external power and GPIO are not permitted to be in a mechanically stressed environment.

Put the mounted drive into one slot and slide it in. The U.2/U.3 connector should face downwards. When the tray is fully in, you can use the lever to secure the drive. To avoid problems, exchange the drive only when the ADL-1000 is not powered.
05.5 Checking the Function of the ADL-1000 If the ADL-1000 was installed, the user can enable the power. The LED of the Power Button indicates with an orange light the standby-state. By pressing the power button two times, the ADL-1000 will boot up in operational mode. After around 90 seconds, the booting process is completed and you can access the ADL-1000 through the RJ45 management port via REST-API.
06.2.5 REACH Conformity PLC2 confirms that the product complies with the REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 applicable in the European Union. 06.2.6 Use of Open Source Software The product uses Open Source Software (OSS). This software is installed in the product at the time of delivery and does not have to be installed or updated by the user.
Ethernet connection has been established and whether Ethernet packets are being exchanged. • Is the host computer in the same IP subnet as the ADL-1000? • The ADL-1000 has an IP address in the range of 192.168.11.120-199 by default.
