Sensor to computer or PLC interface for remote data acq & control

ADAM-4000 modules are compact, intelligent sensor-to- computer or PLC interface devices with built-in microprocessors which provide signal conditioning, analog I/O, digital I/O and comms all in an industrial hardened package. Can make stand alone, on/off controllers.
Warranty period: 2 years.

ADAM modules stand out because of their ability to accommodate multiple types and ranges of analog input. You select the type and range remotely by issuing commands from the host computer.
You may use just one type of unit for many different tasks, greatly simplifying design and maintenance.

They translate analog data into one of the following formats: engineering units, % of FSR, two's complement or ohms. After the modules receive a request from the host, they send the data in the desired format over the RS-485 network.

The RS485 network can connect to a host computer using an ...

Analog Input Modules

• 16-bit Integrating A/D converter with self calibration

• 3000VDC analog input isolation - Digital filter

• Output data formats: engineering units,  % of FSR,  twos complement, or ohms. Data is sent in desired format when req. by host

• Some analog modules contain two digital outputs and one digital input channel. They can drive solid state relays which in turn can control equipment.

Programmable Alarm Output
Analog input modules include high and low alarm signalling. After every A/D conversion, the digital value is compared with the high and low limit. The module can change the state of a digital output depending on the result of this comparison. This lets it perform On/Off control of a device independent of the host PC.

Event Counter On-board event counter can count to 65,535 transitions on the digital input.
The counter is read and cleared by the host. Max sample rate: 50Hz.

Accessories Included
Nylon DIN-rail mounting adaptor; SECC Panel mounting bracket. Plug-in screw terminals.

A Windows PC is generally required to configure the modules initially, using the software supplied with the module.
Adam modules can be controlled using simple ASCII commands over the serial link.
An ADAM-4520 RS-232 to RS-422/485 converter may be needed, unless your PC has an RS-422/485 port.
Once this initial configuration has been done, the module stores the configuration in its internal non-volatile memory.
You can then connect any serial device to it and use the simple ASCII commands to read data.

ADAM-4015   RTD Input Module - 6 channel

Independant configuration of channels,   Pt, Ni, Balco,   burn-out detect.

ADAM-4017 & ADAM-4017+ notes

ADAM-4017 & ADAM-4017+ can be controlled using simple ASCII commands over the serial link, similar to the other Adam modules.

For example, to read analog data from input 3 on ADAM module number 01, simply send “#013” to the module. The complete set of commands is described in the ADAM-4000 series operation manual.

ADAM-4914V  Four-Channel Surge Protector

A solution for surge protection of voltage signals in industrial control systems, the ADAM-4914V is now available.
With four channels & protection up to 4,000 volts, it saves space and shields sensitive control system equipment.

To offer a more affordable solution for surge protection of voltage signals in industrial control systems, the ADAM-4914V was released today by Advantech. With four channels and protection up to 4,000 volts, this compact surge protector saves space and shields sensitive control system equipment.

Most factories today are facing increasingly complex wiring systems where high voltages are common. Interference from these high voltage wires can cause serious damage to control systems.

Instead of a low voltage signal, a control system could receive surges of up to 4,000 volts. The result of such a surge is usually expensive, as all the components in the control system may need to be replaced. The ADAM-4914V is sensible and cost-effective insurance against these surge voltages.

Discharge Voltage:      18V Between Lines           350V Line to Ground
Max. Surge Voltage:    23V Between Lines        4,000V Line to Ground

he compact design of the ADAM's family saves space, and has flexible mounting options like: wall, panel, piggyback, cabinets and of course, DIN rails. While most surge protectors in the market only offer one channel, Advantech offers four. This means less space is required, and the cost of protecting multiple channels is reduced.

The ADAM-4914V can be used for thermocouple or other voltage-based signals and is recommended for factories with high voltage wiring systems that may interfere with the voltage signals of a control system.

Ethernet Data Gateways - EDG

Ethernet to 4/ 8 serial ports - Advantech

EDG-4504 is an industrial-strength network-based serial device server
for connecting 4 RS-232/422/485 devices (EDG-4504),
such as CNCs, PLCs, scales, and scanners, directly to a TCP/IP network (Ethernet or Internet).
Compared to similar devices on the market, it has the lowest cost, best performance, and most advanced features.
Both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections are supported, providing higher bandwidth, lower traffic impact, and more layout
flexibility.
EDG-4504 has a professional cabin design, with Tx/Rx LEDs for all ports on the front panel,
and all of the DB9 and RJ45 phone jack connectors.
This makes EDG Series suitable for multi-task environment, and simplifies its operation, maintenance, and
administration.

Similar in function to ADAM-4570 (needs Advantech drivers).

Modbus

Some of ADAM-4000 series modules can be configured for Modbus RTU protocol.
These are indicated in the price list above.

These modules are ideally suited for existing or new Modbus networks, providing a simple, effective, low cost solution for monitoring or control applications.    Diagrams: click here

Integration with Operator Interface Panel
Benefits:
  Compatible with any Operator Interface Panel
  Easy I/O mapping to pre-built graphic display
  Flexible network capacity based on remote architecture

Integration with SCADA Server
Benefits:
  Compatible to most HMI software
  Easy to build & maintain in I/O database
  Flexible network capacity for both Serial and Ethernet networking.

Integration with RTU/DCS/PLC Control System
Benefits:
  Easy integration with RTU/DCS/PLC Control System
  A cost-effective remote I/O solution for system expansion requirements
  Suitable for application in widely-distributed monitoring & control systems

Advantech provides a complete Modbus solution
       - the ADAM-5511 and the ADAM-4572

The ADAM-5511 is a PC-based programmable controller with a Modbus interface,
integrating field signal (AI/O, DI/O, Counter, and Serial Communication) for data acquisition and control. See ADAM-5000 page.

On the other hand, the ADAM-4572 is a serial-to-Ethernet data gateway with a Modbus protocol,
enabling field status from the ADAM-5511 up to Enterprise data.

Software Support

ADAM-4000-UTIL is included with the modules. Easy-to-use menu-driven utility software, including a terminal emulation program, makes configuration and calibration a snap.
Writing application programs with this software is simple, and you can learn the basics in just a few minutes.

PCLS-DLL-A  ADAM Windows DLL drivers are also included, see below.

ADAM modules are supported by:
ADAMView Software, see top of this page

ADAM Windows DLL Driver PCLS-DLL-A

Included with ADAM modules.
This driver lets you control ADAM modules from any programming language that works with DLLs, including Visual Basic, Microsoft C++, Turbo C++ and Turbo Pascal. The driver package includes a VBX custom control for Visual basic and an easy to use Windows setup program with terminal emulation.

The driver works with COM ports 1 to 4. It supports all ADAM functions except for the ADAM-4080D's counter (Counter/Frequency module).

Programming Example (BASIC)

If the command"#05" is sent to a network of ADAM modules, the module whose address is 05H will respond with a reading, for example: "+4.834".

OPEN "COM1: 9600, N, 8, 1,RS ,CS ,CD ,DS" AS #1

CMD$ = "%2333324100600"

PRINT #1, CMD$
              'ADAM-4011 is now configured to address 24H, T-type thermocouple input, 9600bps, eng. unit data format'

CMD$="#24"

PRINT #1, CMD$       'Read analog input data'

RESULT$ = INPUT$(5,#1)

PRINT "Temperature = ",RESULT$

CLOSE: END
