Product Description
Mitutoyo Series 174 KLD / KA Counter FlashCable® Gage Interface
Send data to our GageMux® gage interface or other Digimatic input devices
This FlashCable® gage interface is engineered to change the output on the Mitutoyo Series 174 KLD or KA Counter or Unite-a-Matic 8600 to an output in a digimatic format. The special 25-Pin male connector on the Advanced Systems & Designs FlashCable® gage interface connects directly to the 25-Pin female connector on the Mitutoyo KLD Series 174 or KA Counter. Designed to work with our GageMux® gage interface or other similar devices that recognize the Mitutoyo Digimatic signal.
The FlashCable® does not obtain any power from the gage. When connected to the GageMux®, pin 9 of the 10-pin input port provides the power to the FlashCable®. If using devices, other than the GageMux®, make sure pin 9 of the 10-pin connector provides a 5VDC supply to the FlashCable® gage interface. When the FlashCable® is connected to the GageMux®, the LED on the FlashCable® turns GREEN. This indicates that the FlashCable® is connected properly. The LED turns RED when the data is being sent or a data request is triggered.
The data transfer can be triggered using any of the following methods:
-
Using the data send button on the Mitutoyo Series 174 KLD or KA Counter or Unite-a-Matic 8600 (if it has one)
-
Using our 300-1S in-line handswitch
-
Using a footswitch on the FlashCable® gage interface (not included)
-
Using the footswitch on the GageMux® USB (or equivalent triggering method on similar devices)
-
Sending a gage read command from the computer to the gage
A detailed operation manual is included with this FlashCable® gage interface. The communication parameters can be changed and reconfigured per requirements for both the FlashCable® and the Mitutoyo Series 174 KLD or KA Counter or Unite-a-Matic 8600. Advanced Systems & Designs sets the FlashCable® to the default settings on the Mitutoyo KLD Series 174 or KA Counter.
