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

2.3 I/O Slots and I/O Channel Numbering
The ADAM-5000/485 system each provides 4 slots for use with I/O
modules. The I/O slots are numbered 0 thru 3, and the channel
numbering of any I/O module in any slot starts from 0. The ADAM5000E system each provides 8 slots for use with I/O modules. The
slots are numbered 0 thru 7. For example, ADAM-5017 is a 8-channel
analog input module, its channel numbering is 0 through 7.

2.4 Mounting
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.

ADAM-5000 System
ADAM-5000 System
3.1 Overview
The ADAM-5000 series is a data acquisition and control system which
can control, monitor and acquire data through multichannel I/O
modules. Encased in rugged industrial grade plastic bases, the
systems provide intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O, digital I/O,
RS-232 and RS-485 communication. The ADAM-5000/485 can handle
up to any 4 combinations of I/O modules (64 I/O points), while the
ADAM-5000E can handle up to 8 combinations of I/O modules (128 I/
O points). The systems communicate with their controlling host over a
multi-drop RS-485 network.
3.2 Major Features of the ADAM-5000 System
The ADAM-5000 system consists of two major parts: the system
kernel and I/O modules. The system kernel includes a CPU card, power
regulator, 4-slot base, 8-slot base, built-in RS-232 communication port,
and a pair of built-in RS-485 ports. It also offers the following major
features:
The CPU's Basic Functions
The CPU is the heart of the system and has the following basic
functions:
• Data acquisition and control for all I/O modules in the system
• Linearization of T/C (Thermocouple)
• Communication software and command set
• Calibration software and command set
• Alarm monitoring
• Management of the EEPROM device that holds the system
parameters
• Data transformation
• Diagnosis
3-2 ADAM-5000
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 indicators, the system also offers software diagnosis via the RS-232 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 communication ground connection. The ADAM-5000 system provides isolation
for I/O modules (3000 VDC), communication connection (2500 VDC) and
communication power connection (3000 VDC). The 3-way isolation
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.
Remote Software Configuration and Calibration
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 input, thermocouple input or RTD
input. With the exception of system node address, all the parameters
including speed, parity, HI and LO alarm, 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 the High alarm or Low alarm
ADAM-5000 3-3
ADAM-5000 System
output of a channel of an analog input 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 remotely. 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 options: Momentary and Latching.
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 than 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 communication 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-5000s 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 connection with host PC,
the RS-485 port can be used for connection with DA&C modules (such
as ADAM-5000/485, ADAM-5000, ADAM-4000 modules). Thus users
save extra costs for another RS-232/485 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 another port to let user monitor at any time
the communication quality and condition as a reference to mainte-
nance and test. When error occurs in the system, users can perform a
quick diagnostics to locate the fault. A considerable amount of
troubleshooting efforts can be saved. For example, using popular
ComWatch software, users can watch the current execution and
response of a certain command. It is very convenient to identify
whether it is communication or the hardware product that is causing
the problem.
Flexible Communication Port (ADAM-5000E only)
ADAM-5000E provides a further application. Users can simultaneous-
ly 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
ADAM-5000 3-5
ADAM-5000 System
program execution without undue influence on your system. Probability of a system crash has thus minimized.
3.3 System Setup
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 provides up to 64 points or 128
points and front-end wiring through the RS-232 port to 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 RTS signal to manage the repeater's direction.
Only two wires are needed for the RS-485 network: DA TA+ and
DA TA-. Inexpensive, shielded twisted-pair wiring is employed.

ADAM-5013 3-channel RTD input module
The ADAM-5013 is a 16-bit, 3-channel RTD input module that features
programmable input ranges on all channels. This module is an extremely cost-effective solution for industrial measurement and monitoring
applications. Its opto-isolated inputs provide 3,000 VDC of isolation
between the analog input and the module, protecting the module and
peripherals from damage due to high input line voltage.
Note: Owing to the conversion time required by the A/D
converter, the initialization time of each AD AM-5013
module is 5 seconds. Thus the total initialization
time will be about 20 seconds if all 4 I/O slots in an
ADAM-5510/P31 main unit contain AD AM-5013

4.3 Analog Input Modules
ADAM-5017 8-channel analog input module
The ADAM-5017 is a 16-bit, 8-channel analog differential input module
that provides programmable input ranges on all channels. It accepts
millivolt inputs (±150mV , ±500mV), voltage inputs (±1V, ±5V and ±10V)
and current input (±20 mA, requires 125Ω resistor). The module
provides data to the host computer in engineering units (mV, V or mA).
This module is an extremely cost-effective solution for industrial
measurement and monitoring applications. Its opto-isolated inputs
provide 3,000 VDC of isolation between the analog input and the
module, protecting the module and peripherals from damage due to

ADAM-5017H 8-channel high speed analog input
module
The ADAM-5017H is a 12-bit plus sign bit, 8-channel analog differential input module that provides programmable input ranges on each
channel. It accepts millivolt inputs (± 500 mV , 0-500 mV), voltage
inputs (±1 V , 0-1 V, ±2.5 V , 0-2.5 V, ±5 V , 0-5 V, ±10 V and 0-10 V) and
current inputs (0-20 mA and 4-20 mA; requires a 125 ohms resistor).
The module provides data to the host microprocessor in engineering
units (mV , V or mA) or two’ s complement format. Its sampling rate
depends on the data format received: up to 1,000 Hz (total) in two’s
complement or 600 Hz (total) in engineering units. Space is reserved for
125-ohm, 0.1%, 10 ppm resistors (See Figure 4-10). Each input channel
has 3000 V
and the module, protecting the module and peripherals from high input
line voltages. Additionally, the module uses analog multiplexers with
active overvoltage protection. The active protection circuitry assures
that signal fidelity is maintained even under fault conditions that
would destroy other multiplexers. The analog inputs can withstand a

4.4 Analog Output Modules
ADAM-5024 4-channel analog output module
The ADAM-5024 is a 4-channel analog output module. It receives its
digital input from the host computer, via the RS-485 interface of the
ADAM-5510/P31 main unit. The format of the data is engineering
units. It then uses the D/A converter controlled by the main unit to
convert the digital data into output signals.
ADAM-5000 4-15
I/O Modules
You can specify slew rates and start up currents through the configuration software. The analog output can also be configured as current
or voltage output through the software utility. The module protects
your equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing
opto-isolation of the D/A output and transformer based isolation up to
500 VDC.
Slew rate
The slew rate is defined as the slope (the ascending or descending rate
per second) of the analog output from the present to the required
value.

4.5 Analog I/O Modules Calibration
Analog input/output modules are calibrated when you receive them.
However, calibration is sometimes required. No screwdriver is necessary because calibration is done in software with calibration parameters stored in the ADAM-5000 analog I/O module's onboard EEPROM.
The ADAM-5510/P31 system comes with the ADAM utility software
that supports calibration of analog input and analog output. Besides
the calibration that is carried out using the utility software, the
modules incorporate automatic Zero Calibration and automatic Span
Calibration at bootup or reset.
Analog input module calibration
Modules: ADAM-5017, 5017H, 5018
1 . Apply power to the ADAM-5510/P31 system that the analog input
module is plugged into and let it warm up for about 30 minutes
2. Assure that the module is correctly installed and is properly
configured for the input range you want to calibrate. You can do
this by using the ADAM utility software. (Refer to Chapter 5)
3. Use a precision voltage source to apply a span calibration voltage
to the module's V0+ and V0- terminals. (See T ables 4-8 and 4-9 for
reference voltages for each range.)

4 . Execute the Zero Calibration command (also called the Offset
Calibration command). This is also done with the ADAM utility
software. (See the “Zero Calibration” option in the Calibration submenu of the ADAM utility software.)

5 . Execute the Span Calibration command. This can be done with
the ADAM utility software. (See the “Span Calibration” option in
the Calibration sub-menu of the ADAM utility software.)

6 . Only for ADAM-5018: Execute the CJC (cold junction sensor)
Calibration command. This can be done with the ADAM utility
software. (See the “CJC Calibration” option in the Calibration
submenu of the ADAM utility software.)
Figure 4-17: Cold junction calibration
* Note: Zero calibration and span calibration must be com-
pleted before CJC calibration. To calibrate CJC, the
thermocouple attached to ADAM-5018 and a standard thermometer should be used to measure a
standard known temperature, such as the freezing
point of pure water . The amount of offset between the
ADAM-5018 and the standard thermometer is then
used in the ADAM utility to complete CJC calibration.

Chapter 4
Analog output module calibration
The output current of analog output modules can be calibrated by
using a low calibration value and a high calibration value. The analog
output modules can be configured for one of two ranges: 0-20 mA and
4-20 mA. Since the low limit of the 0-20 mA range (0 mA) is internally
an absolute reference (no power or immeasurably small power), just
two levels are needed for calibration: 4 mA and 20 mA.
1 . Apply power to the ADAM-5510/P31 system including the analog
output module for about 30 minutes.
2. Assure that the module is correctly installed and that its
configuration is according to your specifications and that it
matches the output range you want to calibrate. You can do this
by using the ADAM utility software. (Refer to Chapter 5, Utility
Software)
3 . Connect either a 5-digit mA meter or voltmeter with a shunt resistor
(250 Ω, .01 % and 10 ppm) to the screw terminals of the module.
ammeter

4. Issue the Analog Data Out command to the module with an output

I/O Modules
value of 4 mA.
5 . Check the actual output value at the modules terminals. If this
does not equal 4 mA, use the "Trim" option in the "Calibrate"submenu to change the actual output. Trim the module until the mA
meter indicates exactly 4 mA, or in the case of the voltmeter with
shunt resistor, trim until the meter indicates exactly 1 V. (When
calibrating for 20 mA using a voltmeter and shunt resistor, the
correct voltage should be 5 V.)
6 . Issue the 4 mA Calibration command to indicate that the output is
calibrated and to store the calibration parameters in the module's
EEPROM.
7 . Execute an Analog Data Out command with an output value of
20 mA. The module's output will be approximately 20 mA.
8 . Execute the Trim Calibration command as often as necessary until
the output current is equal to exactly 20 mA.
9 . Execute the 20 mA Calibration command to indicate that the present
output is exactly 20 mA. The analog output module will store its
calibration parameters in the unit's EEPROM.
4.6 Digital Input/Output Modules
ADAM-5050 16-channel universal digital I/O module
The ADAM-5050 features sixteen digital input/output channels. Each
channel can be independently configured to be an input or an output
channel by the setting of its DIP switch. The digital outputs are opencollector transistor switches that can be controlled from the ADAM5510/P31. The switches can also be used to control solid-state relays,
which in turn can control heaters, pumps and power equipment. The
ADAM-5510/P31 can use the module’s digital inputs to determine the
state of limit or safety switches, or to receive remote digital signals.
Warning! A channel may be destroyed if it is subjected to an
input signal while it is configured to be an output
channel.

following features:
LED display
16 LED indicators are added to the panel. Users can monitor the status
of each channel at a glance. When a LED indicator is on, it means that
this channel is now in logic level "1" status. When a LED indicator is
off, it means this channel is in logic level "0" status.

Digital Output Holding Function
A yellow mini jumper is added to the PCB, the major function of which
is to hold the digital output value at its last status so that it won't be
erased when the RESET button of your system is pressed or your
system software going into reset.
Power
Ground
To enble your Digital Output Holding Funciton, you must first set the
yellow mini jumper on. When the Digital Output Holding Function is
enabled, the digital output value of ADAM-5060D will first be cleared
during system power-on. When the RESET button is pressed or when
a system software reset occurs, its digital output value will be held at
the last value.
To disable your Digital Output Holding Funciton, you must set the
mini jumper off. When the jumper is off, it's functions just like an
ADAM-5056.

Main Units Supporting Digital Output Holding Function
The Digital Output Holding Function is applicable only to ADAM-
5510 and ADAM-5511. Other main units, such as ADAM-5000/485,
ADAM-5000/CAN and ADAM-5000E, do not support this function,
since their firmwares will automatically clear the digital output.
Although the firmware of ADAM-5510 and ADAM-5511 will not
automatically clear the digital output value, it is nevertheless left as
user's free choice to write a program either to clear the digital output or
to set the initial value for the system.

4.8 Counter/Frequency Module
Overview
Compatible ADAM-5000 Series Main Units
ADAM-5080 is a 4-channel counter/frequency module designed to be
implemented within the following Advantech ADAM-5000 series main
units:
ADAM-5000/485 (with firmware V ersion A2.3 or above)
ADAM-5510 (with library V ersion V1.00 or above)
ADAM-5510/P31 (with I/O driver V ersion V1.00 or above)
Please make sure that the ADAM-5080 counter/frequency
module is properly inserted into the compatible main units.
ADAM-5080 4-channel Counter/Frequency Module
With ADAM-5080 4-Channel Counter/Frequency Module, users can
select either counter or frequency mode for data output. ADAM-5080
offers users a variety of very flexible and versatile applications such as
below:
Counter Mode or Frenquency Mode
If you want to measure the number of input signals for totalizer
function, you may use counter mode to measure quantities such as
movement and flow quantity . Alternatively, you can also select
frequency mode to calculate the instantaneous differential of quantities such as rotating speed, frequency or flow rate, and present them in
specific engineering formats.
Up/Down or Bi-direction Function
When operating in counter mode, you can choose either the Up/
Down function or the Bi-direction function for different application
purposes. The counter will count up or down according to your
applications. This counting function helps users obtain the most
accurate data.
Alarm Setting Function
While in counter mode, you can set alarm status--Disable and Latch. If
you want to disable it, you can select Disable.If Latch status is
ADAM-5000 4-41
I/O Modules
selected, it means the Alarm status will be "latched" whenever the
alarm being triggered. Once the alarm status being "latched," it will
thereafter stay in that triggered state. Users will have to issue a "Clear
Alarm Status" command to return the "latched" alarm status back to
normal. Users can designate the high-limit value and low-limit value to
regulate your alarm behavior through the utility program.
Digital Output Mapping
Users can either run the utility program or issue a "Set Alarm Connetion" command to designate a specific digital output module for the
alarm signal to be sent through.

Features -- Counter Mode
Up/Down Counting
The Up/Down Counter Function offers two types of counting:
Up Couting (increasingly) and Down Counting (decreasingly).
Up Counting : when C0A+ and C0A- sense any input signals, the
counter counts up.
Down Counting : when C0B+ and C0B- sense any input signals, the
counter counts down.
On receiving Up and Down signal simultaneously, the counter will not
perform each specific counting accordingly, but will remain at the
previous counting value, since these simultaneous signals won't have
any effect on counting values.

Figure 4-44: Wiring for Up/Down Counting
Note: If you need only one type of counting, connect C0A+
and C0A- for Up Counting only; or connect C0B+
and C0B- for Down Counting only .
Bi-direction Counting
For implementing Bi-derection Counting, you need to connect C0B+/
D+ and C0B-/D- to implement the control function for
Up/Down Counting.
4-44 ADAM-5000
Chapter 4
Up Counting : when the input signal is within logic level "1", the
counter value increases.
Down Counting : when the input signal is within logic level "0", the
counter value decreases.

Overflow Value
Overflow value is the number of times the counter value exceeds the
Max/Min values you specified. When the counter value exceeds
Maximum value, the overflow value increases; When the counter value
goes under Minimum value, the overflow value decreases. Besides,
when the counter value runs beyond the range of Max/Min value, it
will continue counting from the initial value. Furthermore, if users want
to check the counter value to see if it is higher or lower than the Max/
Min value, they can run the "$aaSi7" command to gain a readout of the
overflow value.
Getting the Totalizer Value
If users want to get the actual counter value, a formula such as follows
can facilitate an easy calculation from the initial counter value,
overflow value and current counter value:
Vtol = {|Vini - Vmin (or Vmax) |+ 1} x |Vvf| + |Vini - Vcur|
tol : totalizer value
V
Vini : initial counter value
Vmin : min. couner value = 0 (fixed value)
Vmax : max. counter value = 2
32
= 4,294,967,295 (fixed value)
Vvf : overflow value
Vcur : current counter value
Example:
If the initial value =10, overflow value =4, min. value = 0, current
counter value = 3, the totalizer value could be calculated as
totalizer value = {|10 - 0| + 1} x| 4 |+ |10 -3| = 51

Software Utilities
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. A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) driver is provided
to write Windows applications, and a DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
server is a service that links the ADAM-5000 systems to popular
Windows packages such as Intouch, FIX DMACS, ONSPEC, Genesis
and Excel.
5.1 ADAM Utility Software
T ogether with the ADAM-5000 systems you will find a utility disk
containing utility software with the following capabilities:
• System and Module Configuration
• Module Calibration
• Data Input and Output
• Alarm settings between analog inputs and digital outputs
• Autoscan of connected modules
• T erminal emulation
The following text will give you some brief instructions on how to use
the included utility.
Main Menu
The main screen consists of a menu bar at the top side of the screen
and a status field which displays information about the connected
modules. When you first start the program, it will automatically scan
for any attached modules and display their data. The status field lists
module characteristics, module configuration parameters and input or
output values.
