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. The manual and FAQ can be found at:
http://www.advantech.com.tw/support/detail_list.asp?model_id=ADAM-4000

RS232 to RS232 with isolation can be acheived by using two ADAM-4520 back to back using the RS422 connection between them.
You would need to use XON/XOFF handshaking.          Prices: below next section
Each ADAM-4520 needs unregulated power supply 10 to 30 VDC, e.g. Mains Adaptor see above
If they are fairly close to each other, one supply can be used for both.

Fibre Optic

Fiber optics are the perfect solution for applications where the transmission medium must be protected from electrical exposure, lighting, atmospheric conditions or chemical corrosion.

Single Mode: A fiber with a small core, only a few times the wavelength of light transmitted, that only allows one mode of light to propagate. Commonly used with laser sources for high speed, long distance links.

Multimode: A fiber with core diameter much larger than the wavelength of light transmitted that allows many modes of light to propagate. Commonly used with LED sources for lower speed, short distance links.

ADAM-4542+

NEW!

ADAM-4542+ converts single-mode fibre optic signals to RS-232/422/485 serial signals.
Transmission speeds of up to 115.2kbps
A newly invented redundancy feature also promises improved reliability.
Automatic internal RS-485 bus supervision
No external flow control signals required for RS-485 •
Transient suppression and over-current protection on RS-422/485 data lines •
LED for power and data flow indication

The ADAM-4542+ is specially designed to link various machinery equipped with RS-232/422/485 communication ports (such as computer systems or manufacturing machines).
Using standard SC connectors, the fiber optic port can accommodate a wide range of fiber optic cable.
ADAM-4542+ also supports the redundancy requirement.
You can use two pairs of ADAM-4542+ for a redundant architecture. This special design offers higher reliability. Data on ADAM-4541 ADAM-4542+

The RS-C230xx range provides media conversion from RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial signalling to multimode or single mode fibre.
ST or SC fibre ports are provided for fibre termination, and DB-9 or Terminal block for serial connection.

Other models also cover multi-mode fibre (similar to ADAM-4541), ST fibre connectors instead of SC, DB9 serial instead of screw terminals. Alloy Data (.pdf file)

Note that the power supply requirement is 5V DC on Alloy modules, as against 10-30V DC for the ADAMs. However the Alloy modules do come with a 5V plug pack.
