ADL190 ADL200 User and Installation Manual 7 / 25 Revision 2.00 - 25.10.2019
14 RS232 Interconnect
The ADL190/200 features a bidirectional RS232 port. When running firmware 8.40 or
later the baud rate can be configured using the ADLConnect app on the Config page.
The Following features are supported over the RS232 port:
Aviation Data / NMEA Input
The ADL190/200 will read current flight plan information from panel mount GPS
devices. It supports the "Aviation Data" format and the NMEA format. The device will
detect automatically which protocol is supplied. To start displaying this flight plan
information on the ADLConnect app make sure the "FPL IN" option is shown in green
above the flight plan / waypoint list on the Moving Map page. The ADL190/200 can
read this data at all baud rates 8N1 but panel mounted GPS will usually supply 9600
baud 8N1 only.
AT-1 Input
The ADL190/200 device can read NMEA / FLARM traffic information supplied over the
RS232 port. So far the Air Avionics AT-1 device has been tested successfully. On the
AT-1 please configure the connected RS232 output as follows using the WiFi Browser
interface ( http://192.168.1.1 ) in advanced mode:
RS-232 data port x Flarm Traffic: ON
RS-232 data port x ADS-B Traffic: ON
RS-232 data port x Range [m]: 999000
RS-232 data port x Vertical Range [m]: 99000
RS-232 data port x Non-Bearing Range [m]: 999000
RS-232 data port x Non-Bearing Vertical Range [m]: 99000
RS-232 data port x Output: AIR TAFFIC PROTOCOL
RS-232 data port x RS-232 Data Rate: 115200
GDL90 Output
The ADL190/200 is able to output GDL90 formatted weather and traffic information on
the RS232 port if a firmware 8.40 or later is installed. The detailed configuration is
made using the ADLConnect app on the Config page. Besides the normal GDL90
output a special option for Avidyne IFD devices is available. This adapts the
ADL190/200 output to the Avidyne IFD requirements.
On the IFD device please configure the RS232 input as "Capstone HS Trfc+Wx" or
"Capstone HS Wx" (if no traffic input is desired). The ADL190/200 output will then have
to be configured for 115200 baud. Please note that the IFD documentation says that
the Capstone input and Aviation output can not be configured on the same RS232 port.
Thus, you will have to connect the wires from the ADL to two different RS232 port
numbers.
The RS232 output of the ADL device will run in parallel to the input but both will
have to operate at the same baud rate. In some configurations this means the
following combiner will be required.
