ADAM-5000 Fieldbus

Fieldbus has many benefits and cost reductions in cabling, commissioning, installation and reliability.
ADAM-5000 Series modules can operate between -10°C and +70°C,
with an unregulated power supply between 10 and 30VDC.         Warranty period: 2 years.

Fieldbus comms protocols


RS485 or CAN (Controller Area Network).

ADAM-5000 series can control, monitor & acquire data through the multi-channel I/O modules which plug onto the ADAM-5000.
The systems provide intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O, digital I/O and communication.
Each system can handle any combination of I/O modules.
Systems communicate with their controlling host over a single twisted pair of wires in the multidrop fieldbus network.

The base units are the ADAM-5000 & ADAM-5000E
which house a CPU, power regulator, two comms ports,
and four, or eight slots, which take various multi-channel I/O plug-in modules.

Many ADAM-5000s can be easily networked together in a system.

Data transfer rate is similar to the ADAM-4000 series modules, i.e. 10 channels per second accross the network, regardless of how many channels there are.

Setup/Utility Software
Easy-to-use menu-driven utility software, including a terminal emulation program, makes configuration and calibration easy.
It also lets you easily read from and write to the ADAM-5000 system.
Writing application programs with this software is simple, and you can learn the basics in just a few minutes.

Supported by Major HMI Software Package ADAM DLL Driver
The ADAM API Dynamic Link Library (DLL) driver lets you control ADAM modules from your Windows application programs.
The DLL driver can use PC COM ports COM1 or COM2.
This library supports C/C++ and Visual BASIC.
Drivers support analog I/O, and digital I/O, as well as counter and temperature measurement.
For easy setup and troubleshooting the package also includes Windows programs for data display, module setup and terminal emulation.
