Chapter 3
Diagnosis
There are 4 LEDs (indicated as PWR, RUN, TX and RX) to provide
visual information on the general operation of the ADAM-5000
system. The LEDs also indicate the error status when the
ADAM-5000 system performs the self test. Besides the LED
indica- tors, the system also offers software diagnosis via the RS232 port. For details, refer to Chapter 7.
3-Way Isolation and Watchdog Timer
Electrical noise can enter a system in many different ways. It may enter
through an I/O module, a power supply connection or the com munication ground connection. The ADAM-5000 system provides isol ation
for I/O modules (3000 V
communication power connection (3000 V
design prevents ground loops and reduces the effect of electrical
noise to the system. It also offers better surge protection to prevent
dangerous voltages or spikes from harming your system. The system
also provides a W atchdog timer to monitor the microprocessor. It will
automatically reset the microprocessor in ADAM-5000 system if the
system fails.

The ADAM-5000 system merely issues a command from the host
computer, you can change an analog input module to accept several
ranges of voltage input, current i nput, the rmocouple i nput or RTD
input. With the except ion of system node address, all the param eters
including speed, parity, HI and LO al arm, and calibration parameters
setting may be set remotely. Remote configuration can be done by
using either the provided menu-based software or the command set's
configuration and calibration commands. By storing configuration
and calibration parameters in a nonvolatile EEPROM, the systems are
able to retain these parameters in case of power failure.
Flexible Alarm Setting
The ADAM-5000 system provides a flexible alarm setting method via
an utility software (ADAM.EXE) between analog input modules and
digital output modules. The user may configure a point of any
digital output module plugged into any slot as t he Hi g h alarm or Low
alarm

output of a channel of an anal og i nput module. The relationship
and their High/Low alarm limits may be downloaded into the
system‘s EEPROM by the host computer.
The alarm functions can be enabled or disabled rem otely. When the
alarm function is enabled, the user may select whether the digital
output is triggered. If the digital outputs are enabled, they are used
to indicate the High and Low Alarm state. The High and Low alarm
states can be read at any time by the host computer.
Every A/D conversion will be followed by a comparison with the High
and Low limit. When the input value is over the High limit or below
the Low limit, the High or Low alarm state is set to ON.
There are two alarm mode opti ons: Momentary and Latc hing.
If the alarm is in Latching mode, the alarm will stay on even when the
input value returns within limits. An alarm in Latching mode can be
turned OFF by issuing a Clear Alarm command from the host computer.
A Latching alarm is cleared by the microprocessor when the opposite
alarm is set
For example, the alarm is in latching mode and the High alarm is turned
ON. When the module receives a value that is lower tha n the Low
alarm limit, the microprocessor will clear the High alarm and turn the
Low alarm ON.
When the alarm is in Momentary mode, the alarm will be turned ON
when the input value is outside of alarm limits and OFF while the input
value remains within alarm limits. The arrangement of coupling High
and Low alarm states with digital outputs may be utilized to build ON/
OFF controllers that can operate without host computer involvement.
Connectivity and Programming
ADAM-5000 systems can connect to and communicate with all
computers and terminals. They use either RS-232 or RS-485 transmission standards and communicate with ASCII format commands.
However, users can only select and use one comm unicat ion port at
any time. All communications to and from the system are performed in
ASCII, which means that ADAM-5000 systems can be
3-4 ADAM-5000
Chapter 3
programmed in virtually any high-level language. The details of all
commands will be covered in Chapter 6.
Flexible Communication Connection
ADAM-5000’s built-in RS-232/485 conversion capability enables users
to freely choose either RS-232 port or RS-485 port to connect with host
PC. When user select either port to connect with their host PC, the
other port could be utilized according to their specific needs.
For example, if RS-232 port is selected for connecti on with host PC,
the RS-485 port can be used for connection with DA&C module s (such
as ADAM-5000/485, ADAM-5000, ADAM-4000 modules). Thus users
save extra costs for another RS-232/4 85 conversion device (e.g.
ADAM-4520).
Or if users select RS-485 port for host PC connection, the RS-232 port
can then have different usage such as described in the following
sections (see Built-in Communication Ports for Field Diagnostics and
Flexible Communication Port)
Built-in Communication Ports for Diagnostics
(ADAM-5000E only)
When users utilize application software to control their system,
ADAM-5000E can provide anot her port to let user monitor a t any time
the communication quality and condition as a reference to maintenance and test. When er ro r o ccu r s in th e s ys tem, users can perform a
quick diagnostics to locate the fault. A consid erable am ount of
troubleshooting efforts can be saved . For e xam ple, usin g popular
ComW atch s oftware, users can watc h the current execution and
response of a certain comm and. It is very conveni ent to identi fy
whether it is communication or the hardware pr oduct that i s causing
the problem.
Flexible Communication Port(ADAM-5000E on ly )
ADAM-5000E provides a further application. Users can simultaneously connect COM1 and COM2 of host PC to RS-232 and RS-485 port of
ADAM-5000E. When host PC issues a command through one of the
COM ports but receives no response (the other port will serve as
backup), the COM Port Backup Function of HMI software (e.g. AFX,
FIX) will automatically switch to another COM port to continue

program execution without undue influence on your system. Probability of a system crash has thus minimized.
3.3 System Setup
3-6 ADAM-5000
A Single System Setup thru the RS-232 Port
If users would like to use a PC to locally control and monitor a simple
application, the ADAM-5000 system provide s up to 64 points or 12 8
points and front-end wiring thro ugh the RS -232 port t o the host
computer.
A Distributed I/O Setup thru the RS-485 Network
The RS-485 network provides lower-noise sensor readings as the
systems can be placed much closer to the source. Up to 256
ADAM-5000 systems may be connected to an RS-485 multi-drop
network by using the ADAM-4510/4510S RS-485 repeaters, extending
the maximum communication distance to 4,000 ft. The host computer
is connected to the RS-485 network from one of its COM ports through
the ADAM-4520/4522 RS-232/RS-485 converter.
T o boost the network's throughput, the ADAM-4510/4510S RS-485
repeaters use a logical R TS signal to manage the re peater's direction.
Only two wires are needed for the RS-485 network: DATA+ and
DA T A-. Inexpensive, shielded twisted-pair wiring is employed.

5.1.10 Module Calibration
Calibration is to adjust the accuracy of A DAM module. There are
several modes for module’ s calibration: Zero calibration and span
calibration. Only analog input and outp ut modules can be ca librated.
Note: The calibrating function supports ADAM-5013/5017/5017H/
5018/5024.
Zero Calibration:
(1). Apply power to the m odule and let it warm up for about 30 minute s.
(2). Make sure that the module is correctly i nstalled and is properly
configured for the input range you want to calibrate.
(3). Use a precision voltage so urce to apply a cal ibration volt age to t he
modules’ terminals of the specific channel.

5.2 DLL (Dynamic Link Library) Driver
The ADAM-5000 API Dynamic Link Library (DLL) enables you
to quickly and easily write Windows applications for ADAM-
5000 systems. The library supports both C++ and Visual Basic.
Since ADAM-5000 systems communicate with a host computer
through the host‘s COM port, no additional driver (DRV or
VxD) needs to be installed. The DLL includes all necessary
function calls to utilize the ADAM-5000 systems to their fullest
extent.
T ogether with the DLL driver you‘ll find the source code of a
V isual Basic example on your diskette. The example provides
several control windows to communicate wi t h all ty pes of
ADAM-5000 m odules. You can customize the source code to
create your own tailor-made
ADAM-5000 setup program or monitoring system.
For details on the ADAM-5000 function calls refer to the
Help file included on the ADAM-5000 API diskette.
5.3 DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) Server
The ADAM-5000 DDE server takes advantage of DDE, a built-in
Windows comm unication service. The DDE server acquires data
from the ADAM-5000 systems and passes i t t o your
application program via the hot link (DDE). The so f t w a re can
also pass control and configuration commands to the ADAM-
5000 systems using the DDE protocol. You can now use ADAM-
5000 systems wit h most W i ndows- based data acquisition
software that supports DDE. Examples include Intelluti on' s
FIX DMACS, W onderware’ s InTo uch, ONSPEC, Paragon and
Excel.
For details on the ADAM-5000 DDE server refer to the DDE
server manual for the ADAM-5000.

6.1 Introduction
T o a void com m unicati on conflic ts when se veral devi ces try t o send
data at the same time, all actions are instigated by the host com puter.
The basic form is a command/response protocol with the host initiating the sequence.
When systems are not transmitting they are in listen mode. The host
issues a command to a system with a specified address and waits a
certain amount of time for the syst em to resp ond. If no response
arrives, a time-out aborts the sequence and returns control to the host.
Changing ADAM-5000/5000E system's configurati on might require the
system to perform auto calibra tion bef ore change s can ta ke effect.
This is especially true when changing the range as the system has to
perform all stages of auto calibration that it performs when booted.
When this process is underway, the system does not respond to any
other commands. The command set includes information on the
delays that might occur when systems are reconfigured.
6.2 Syntax
Command Syntax: [delimiter character][address][slot][channel]
[command][data][checksum][carriage return]
Every command begins with a delimiter character. There are four valid
characters: $, #, % and @.
The delimiter character is followed by a two character address (hexadecimal) that specifies the target system. The two characters
following the address specify the module slot and channel.
Depending on the command, an optional data segment may follow the
command string. An optional two character checksum may also be
appended to the command string. Every command is terminated with
a carriage return (cr).
Note:
All commands should be issued in UPPERCASE
characters only!
6-2 ADAM-5000
Chapter 6
The command set is divided into the follo wing five categories:
•
CPU Command Set
•
Analog Input Comm and Set
•
Analog Input Alarm Command Set
•
Analog Output Modules Command Set
•
Digital I/O Modules Command Set
Every command set category starts with a command summary of the
particular type of module, followed by datasheets that give detailed
information about individual commands.
Although commands in different subsections sometime share the same
format, the effect they have on a certain module can be completely
different than that of another. Therefore, the full command set for
each type of module is listed along with a description of the effect the
command has on the given module.
Note:
Before setting commands, the user needs to know
the type of main unit being used. If AD AM-5000/485
is being used, the "i" in Si can be set at 0 to 3 . If
ADAM-5000E is being used, the "i" in Si can be set
at 0 to 7.
