Note! The USB chip on your system may have a limitation on the number of USB devices it will support. Normally, only five USB-4711A devices can be supported.

Note! The power output of an USB port is 500 mA, while the USB-4711A requires 360 mA (typical). This means that if an USB hub is used, it will need an external power supply to support more than one USB-4711A device.

1.2 Software Overview

Advantech offers device drivers, SDKs, third-party driver support and application software to help fully exploit the functions of your DAQ system. All these software packages are available on the Advantech website: http://www.advantech.com/.

The Advantech Navigator is a utility that allows you to set up, configure and test your device, and later stores your settings in a proprietary database.

  1. To set up the I/O device for your card, you could first run the Advantech Navigator program (by accessing Start/Programs/Advantech Automation/DAQNavi/Advantech Navigator).

  2. You can view the device(s) already installed on your system (if any) on the Installed Device tree view. If the software and hardware installation are completed, you will see USB modules in the Installed Devices list.

DAQNavi SDK is the software development kit for programming applications with Advantech DAQ products. The necessary runtime DLL, header files, software manual and tutorial videos can be installed via XNavi installer. They can be found under C:\Advantech\DAQNavi (default directory) after the finishing the installation.

2.1 Unpacking

After receiving your USB-4711A package, please inspect its contents first. The package should contain the following items:

USB-4711A Module
■ Shielded USB 3.0 Cable (1m)
■ Startup Manual

The USB-4711A Module harbors certain electronic components vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the integrated circuits and certain components if preventive measures are not carefully paid attention to. Before removing the module from the anti-static plastic bag, you should take following precautions to ward off possible ESD damage:

■ Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to discharge static electricity accumulated on your body. One can also use a grounding strap.
■ Make contact between the anti-static bag and ground before opening.

After taking out the module, you should first:

Inspect the module for any possible signs of external damage (loose or damaged components, etc.). If the module is visibly damaged, please notify our service department or our local sales representative immediately. Avoid using a damaged module with your system.

- Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static electricity such as plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam.

2.2 Driver Installation

The driver package can be found on Advantech Support Portal (https://www.advantech.com/support). Search for the product model name on the support portal, then the corresponded driver/SDK package can be found. You'll get the Xnavi installer after the download session finishes.

- Execute the installer, then it will guide you through the session. You can choose the device and software components you'd like to install in the system. After the selection, click on "start" to begin the installation.

3.3 Analog Input Connections

USB-4711A supports 16 single-ended/8 differential (or combination) analog inputs. Each individual input channel is software-selected.

3.3.1 Single-ended Channel Connections

The single-ended input configuration has only one signal wire for each channel, and the measured voltage (Vm) is the voltage of the wire as referenced against the common ground.

A signal source without a local ground is also called a “floating source”. It is fairly simple to connect a single-ended channel to a floating signal source. In this mode, USB-4711A provides a reference ground for external floating signal sources.

Figure 3.2 shows a single-ended channel connection between a floating signal source and an input channel on USB-4711A.

Figure 3.2 Single-Ended Input Channel Connection

3.3.2 Differential Input Connections

The differential input channels operate with two signal wires for each channel, and the voltage difference between both signal wires is measured. On USB-4711A, when all channels are configured to the differential input, up to 8 analog channels are available.

If one side of the signal source is connected to a local ground, the signal source is ground-referenced. Therefore, the ground of the signal source and the ground of the card will not be exactly of the same voltage. The difference between the ground voltages forms a common mode voltage (Vcm).

To avoid the ground loop noise effect caused by common-mode voltages, you can connect the signal ground to the Low input. Figure 3-3 shows a differential channel connection between a grounded-reference signal source and an input channel on USB-4711A. With this connection, the PGIA rejects a common-mode voltage Vcm between the signal source and USB-4711A ground, shown as Vcm in Figure 3.3.

Note! In differential input mode, the input channel n should be used with channel n+1 .

3.5 Trigger Source Connections

3.5.1 Internal Pacer Trigger Connection

USB-4711A provides two 16-bit counters connected to a 10 MHz clock. Counter 0 is a counter that counts events from an input channel. Counter 1 is a 16-bit timer for pacer triggering. A low-to-high edge from the Counter 1 output will trigger an A/D conversion on USB-4711A.

3.5.2 External Trigger Source Connection

In addition to pacer triggering, USB-4711A also allows external triggering for A/D conversions. When GATE is connected to a +5V DC source, the external trigger function is thereby disabled. The external trigger function will then be enabled once the +5V DC source is removed.

3.6 Field Wiring Considerations

When you use USB-4711A to acquire data from outside, noise in the environment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measurements if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be helpful to reduce possible interference running signal wires between signal sources and the USB-4711A.
The signal cables must be kept away from strong electromagnetic sources such as power lines, large electric motors, circuit breakers or welding machines, since they may cause strong electromagnetic interference. Keep the analog signal cables away from any video monitor, since it can significantly affect a data acquisition system.
If the cable travels through an area with significant electromagnetic interference, you should adopt individually shielded, twisted-pair wires as the analog input cable. This type of cable has its signal wires twisted together and shielded with a metal mesh. The metal mesh should only be connected to one point at the signal source ground.
- Avoid running the signal cables through any conduit that might have power lines in it.
If you have to place your signal cable parallel to a power line that has a high voltage or high current running through it, try to keep a safe distance between them. Or place the signal cable in a right angle to the power line to minimize any undesirable effects.
