1 Understanding Your

System

1.1 Introduction

ADAM-6000 series Ethernet-based data acquisition and control (DA&C) modules provide I/O, data acquisition, and networking capabilities in one module, allowing you to build a cost-effective distributed monitoring and control solution for a wide variety of applications. Through a standard Ethernet network, ADAM-6000 modules can retrieve I/O values from sensors and can publish them as real-time I/O values to networking nodes via LAN, intranet, or the Internet. With Ethernet-enabled technology, ADAM-6000 modules allow you to build up a cost-effective DA&C system for building automation, environmental monitoring, facility management, and e-manufacturing applications. Figure 1-1 gives a brief overview of a system architecture that can be adopted for ADAM-6000 modules.

ADAM-6000 modules are based on the widely utilized Ethernet networking standard, which is employed in most business environments. You can easily add ADAM-6000 series I/O modules to existing Ethernet networks or use them in new Ethernetenabled e-manufacturing networks. This series of modules supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and Modbus/TCP over TCP/IP for data connectivity, and UDP over Ethernet. With UDP/IP, ADAM-6000 series I/O modules can actively transmit data streams to up to eight Ethernet nodes. Through Ethernet networking, HMI/SCADA systems, and controllers, you can access and acquire real-time data from ADAM-6000 Ether- net-enabled DA&C modules. The data can then be integrated with business systems to derive valuable business information.

Note! Some intelligent functions are only provided with the ADAM-6000-CE version. See Appendix F for further details.

Intelligent I/O Modules

Upgraded from traditional I/O modules, all ADAM-6000 series modules have pre-built intelligent functions that can enhance system capabilities. For example, the digital input modules provide counter and totalizer functions; the digital output modules provide pulse output and delay output functions; the analog input modules provide descriptive statistical data calculations (e.g., min., max., and mean); and the analog output modules provide a PID loop control function.

Mixed I/O for All Applications

The ADAM-6000 series' mixed I/O design provides a cost-effective I/O option for application systems. The most commonly used I/O types for single-function units are available in a single module. This design concept not only saves I/O usage as well as costs, but it also speeds up I/O operations. For small DA&C system or standalone control units in medium-large systems, the ADAM-6000 series' mixed I/O design can easily fit your application needs with only one or two modules. With additional embedded control modules, these modules can be used to easily create a localized, less complex, and more distributed I/O architecture.

Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis

Previous differences in communication modes and data formats made it difficult to implement automation control and monitoring in IT-based infrastructure. In particular, users had to convert data to transform I/O datastreams from SCADA systems before transfer to a database or IT management system.

ADAM-6000 modules integrate the latest web language (HTML 5) and web-based architectural style (REST) with basic authentication for users to remotely acquire I/O data in any smart device web service without routing from the SCADA system. As an example, a smartphone web browser can now be used to remotely access an I/O module via HTTP.

Each ADAM-6000 module features a pre-built I/O module web page for displaying real-time I/O data, alarms, and module status via LAN or the Internet. Using any popular Internet browser, you can perform monitoring from both local and remote sites. Furthermore, web-enabled monitoring can be completed immediately without requiring any programming.

Modbus/TCP Protocol

ADAM-6000 modules support the widely used industry standard Modbus/TCP protocol, enabling you to connect with any Ethernet controllers or HMI/SCADA software that supports Modbus/TCP. Advantech also provides an OPC server for Modbus/TCP so that ADAM-6000 I/O module datastreams can be integrated with OPC clientenabled software, thus freeing you from having to develop new drivers.

Customized Web Page

Since ADAM-6000 modules have a default built-in web page, you can monitor and control the I/O status from any location by using Internet Explorer. Moreover, customized web pages can be uploaded to ADAM-6000 modules for individual applications. Advantech provides sample code in JavaScript* as a reference for you to design your own operator interface and then upload it to the specific ADAM-6000 modules via Adam/Apax .NET Utility.

Modbus/TCP Software Support

The firmware for ADAM-6000 modules has a built-in Modbus/TCP server. Advantech provides the ADAM .NET Class Library and Adam/Apax .NET Utility for module con-

4 Introduction to Analog ADAM-6000 I/O Modules

4.1 Analog Input Modules

Analog input modules use an A/D converter to convert sensor voltage, current, thermocouple, and RTD signals into data, which are then translated into engineering units. When prompted by the host computer, the data are sent via standard 10/ 100BASE-T Ethernet or IEEE 802.11b WLAN. The current status can then be read using a pre-built webpage or any HMI software that supports Modbus/TCP. Analog input modules protect your equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the A/D input as well as transformer-based isolation.

4.2 ADAM-6015 7-ch Isolated RTD Input Module

The ADAM-6015 is a 16-bit, 7-ch RTD input module with programmable input ranges on all channels. It accepts various RTD inputs (PT100, PT1000, Balco 500, and Ni), and data are transmitted to the host computer in engineering units (°C). Each analog channel can be configured to an independent range, thus allowing individual channels to be used simultaneously in different applications.

4.2.1Specifications

Communication: 10/100BASE-T Ethernet

Supported protocols: Modbus/TCP,TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, ICMP, DHCP, and ARP

Supports P2P and GCL (see Section 6.7 and Chapter 8)

High-Speed Mode (DE Version Only)

In high-speed mode, the maximum total sample rate is 1 kHz (i.e., if 7 channels are used, then the sampling rate will be 1000/7, which is approximately 142 Hz per channel). This will be influenced by the number of connected Modbus clients and the Ethernet quality. To maximize performance in high-speed mode, any channels that are not in use should be disabled; otherwise, the accuracy may be affected.

Note! When using a calibrator to simulate resistors in high-speed mode, no more than one channel should be enabled.
