Installation Guideline
DIN Rail Mounting
The system can also be secured to the cabinet by using mounting rails.
If you mount the system on a rail, y ou sh oul d also c o nside r using e nd
brackets on each end of the rail. The end brackets help keep the system
from sliding horizontally along the rail. This helps minimize the
possibility of accidentally pulling the wiring loose. If you examine the
bottom of the system, you will notice two small retainingclips. To secure
the system to a DIN rail, place the system onto the rail and gently push
up on the retaining clips. The clips lock the system on the rail. To
remove the system, pull down on the retaining clips, lift up on the base
slightly, and pull it away from the rail.

There is a pair of DB9 ports in the ADAM-5000 system. The ports are
designed to link the RS-485 through a cable to a network in a system.
The pin assignment of the port is as follows:
Note:
The wiring of the RS-485 should be through a twisted
pair. To reduce electrical noise, it should be twisted
as tightly as possible
ADAM-5000 2-11
Installation Guideline
RS-232 Port Connection
The RS-232 port is designed for field configuration and diagnostics.
Users may connect a notebook PC to the RS-232 port to configure or
troubleshoot your system in the fiel d. Further , the ADAM-5000
system can also be configu red as th e slav e of the host compute r
through this port connection. The pin assignment of the port is as
follows:
Build-in Communication Ports for Diagnostic
Connection (ADAM-5000E only)
The Built-in Communication Ports for Diagnostic Function enables
users to perform a quick diagnostics to locate where the sys tem is at
fault.
This Diagnostic Function requires the RS-485 port of ADAM-5000E
to be connected to COM1 of host PC, and the RS-23 2 port of
ADAM-5000E to COM2 of the previous host PC or othe r PCs.
Then you should install software such as ComWatch or
Hyperterminal and so on to monitor the commands that are being
issued and the subse- quent responses from connected modules.
