Introduction
Introduction
1.1 Overview
The ADAM-5000 series is a complete product line that provides a wide variety of features in a data acquisition and control application. It includes 4 I/O-slots ADAM-5000/485 and 8 I/O-slots ADAM-5000E. They are remotely controlled by the host computer through a set of commands and transmitted in a RS-485 network. The system kernel is small, but offers many good features to the users. The modular design also provides more flexibility in the system configuration. The following is a summary of the major ADAM-5000 system components.
ADAM-5000 System Kernel
The ADAM-5000/485 system kernel includes a CPU card, a power regulator, a 4-slot base, a built-in RS-232 communication port and one built-in RS-485 communication port. The 5000E system includes all of the above components, except it has an 8-slot base. Details of the system kernel features and more are covered in Chapter 3.
I/O Configuration
The ADAM-5000/485 CPU can support up to 64 I/O points with the 4­slot base currently available.The ADAM-5000E CPU can support up to 128 I/O points with the 8-slot base currently available. These points can be assigned as input or output points.
I/O Modules
The ADAM-5000 series has a complete range of I/O modules for your applications. A full range of digital modules which support 10 to 30 VDC and relay outputs are offered. The analog modules provide 16-bit resolution and programmable input and output signal ranges (including bipolar).
Software Utilities
There are some software utilities available to the ADAM-5000 systems. The DOS and Windows utility software helps you to configure your ADAM-5000. The DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is provided to write W indows applications, and the DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) server provides links to popular Windows packages such as Intouch, FIX DMACS, Advantech GeniDAQ, etc.

Introduction
1.3 A Few Steps to a Successful System
Step 1: Review the Installation Guideline
You should always make safety your first priority in any system application. Chapter 2 provides several guidelines that will help provide a safer, more reliable system.
Step 2: Understand the System Kernel
The system module is the heart of ADAM-5000 system. Make sure you take time to understand the various features and setup require­ments.
Step 3: Understand the I/O System Configurations
It is important to understand how your I/O modules can be configured. It is also important to understand how the system power budget is calculated. This can affect your I/O configuration.
Step 4: Understand the Utility Software
Before you begin to link your applications in your host computer with the ADAM-5000 systems, it is very helpful to understand how the DOS and Windows utility software helps you configure your ADAM-5000.
Step 5: Review the Programming Concepts
All control systems differ in some areas. The ADAM-5000 system allows you to develop your applications in DOS or Windows. It provides an ASCII command set, DLL (Dynamic Library Link) and DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) server to you.
Step 6: Understand the Troubleshooting Procedures
Many things can be happened on the factory floor: switches fail, the power supply is incorrect, etc. In most cases, the majority of the troubleshooting time is spent trying to locate the problems. The ADAM-5000 system has some built-in features that help you quickly identify problems.

2.1 General
Environmental Specifications
The following table lists the environmental specifications that general­ly apply to the ADAM-5000 system (System kernel and I/O modules).
Specification Rating
Storage temperature -13 to 185°F (-25 to 85°C)
Ambient operating
temperature
Ambient humidity* 5 to 95%, non-condensing
Atmosphere No corrosive gases
14 to 158°F (-10 to 70°C)
* Equipment will operate below 30% humidity . However , static electricity problems occur much more frequently at lower humidity levels. Make sure you take adequate precautions before you touch the equipment. Consider using ground straps, antistatic floor cover­ings, etc. if you use the equipment in low humidity environments.
Power Requirements
Although the ADAM-5000 systems are designed for standard industrial unregulated 24 VDC power supply, they accept any power unit that supplies within the range of +10 to +30VDC. The power supply ripple must be limited to 100 mV peak-to-peak, and the immediate ripple voltage should be maintained between +10 and +30 VDC.
Diagnostic Indicators
Diagnostic indicators are located on the front panel of the ADAM system. They show both normal operation and system status in your remote I/O system. The indicators are:
System status (PWR, RUN)
Communication status (TX, RX)
I/O module status
2-2 ADAM-5000
Chapter 2
A complete description of the diagnostic indicators and how to use them for troubleshooting is explained in Chapter 7.
Figure 2-1 ADAM-5000 Diagnostic indicators
Setting the Network Address Switch
Set the network address using the 8-pin DIP switch. Valid settings range from 0 to 255 (00h to FFh) where ON in any of the 8 DIP switch positions equates to a binary 1, and OFF equates to a binary 0.
For example, if the Node ID is 03h the DIP switch settings for switches 1 and 2 (representing bits 1 and 2) would both be ON while the rest of the switches would be OFF . The default Node ID is 01h

The ADAM-5000 system can be installed on a panel or DIN rail.
Panel Mounting
Mount the system on the panel horizontally to provide proper ventila­tion. You cannot mount the system vertically, upside down or on a flat horizontal surface. A standard #7 tating screw (4mm diameter) should be used.

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, you should also consider using end 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 retaining clips. 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. T o remove the system, pull down on the retaining clips, lift up on the base slightly, and pull it away from the rail.

I/O Modules Wiring
The system uses plug-in screw terminal blocks for the interface between I/O module and field devices. The following information must be considered when connecting electrical devices to I/O modules.
1 . The terminal block accepts 0.5 mm2 to 2.5 mm2 wires
2. Always use a continuous length of wire, do not combine wires to attain needed length
3. Use the shortest possible wire length
4 . Use the wire trays for routing where possible
