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.
Figure 1.1 ADAM-6000 Module System Architecture
1.2 Major Features
Ethernet-Enabled DA&C I/O 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 Ethernet-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.
ADAM-6000 User Manual 2
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.
Chapter 1 Understanding Your System
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-

2 Hardware Selection
Guidelines
2.1 Selecting an I/O Module
To organize an ADAM-6000 remote DA&C system, you will need to select I/O modules to act as an interface between the host PC and field devices or sensors. The following should be considered when deciding which I/O modules to select.
What types of I/O signals does your system use?
How many inputs and outputs does your system require?
How many modules are required for distributed I/O point arrangement?
How will you arrange the modules to handle I/O points in individual areas of the
installation site?
How many hubs will you require to connect all of the modules?
What is the required voltage range for each I/O module?
What isolation environment is required for each I/O module?
What are the noise and distance limitations for each I/O module?
Examples of I/O module selection considerations are detailed in Table 2.1.

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.
4.2.1 Specifications
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.
