1 Understanding Your

System

1.1 Introduction

ADAM-2000 series is the wireless solution of the ADAM families and integrates the
IEEE 802.15.4 standard, I/O and Sensor technologies known as Wireless Sensor
Network. Different from the wired solution, the flexible network capability makes it
easy to extend or construct a cost-effective distributed monitoring system for variety
of applications. Through popular industrial Modbus protocol, the ADAM-2000 can be
integrated into any HMI and SCADA system. The low-power consumption design
also makes it possible for standalone applications with batteries. The sensor embed­ded design provides compact size for specified application. With the ADAM-4000 and
ADAM-6000, the ADAM provides the total solutions of remote I/O. Please refer to
Figure 1-1 for a brief overview of the ADAM-2000 system architecture..

Figure 1.1 ADAM-2000 Series System Architecture

Figure 1.2 ADAM-2000 Series Outdoor Range Distance

1.1.1 IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Standard

IEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless standard defined as Low Rate Wireless Personal Area
Network (LR-WPAN) or usually called Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
instead. It is designed for low-power consumption and robust wireless communica­tion, especially for small data packet applications, such as sensor, I/O and etc. IEEE

802.15.4 is a low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, wireless networking
protocol targeted towards automation and remote control applications. It is expected
to provide low cost and low power connectivity for equipment that needs battery life
as long as several months to several years but does not require data transfer rates
as high as those enabled by Bluetooth. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard only defines the

ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 2

PHY and MAC layers. The working RF are 868MHz for USA, 918MHz for EU and

2.4GHz for World Wide.

1.1.2 Wireless Sensor Network

The Wireless Sensor Network is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and inherits
all the characteristics. Coordinator, Router and End Device (or called End Node) are
the basic components to perform the PAN.

A coordinator is the data collection center in a PAN and also plays as a gateway to
transfer and translate wireless data to other interfaces, such as RS-232, RS-485,
Ethernet and so on.

A router is a wireless repeater to enhance the wireless signal and a wireless router to
select optimized path for wireless communication between coordinator and end
nodes.

An end node is a wireless remote I/O for data acquisition. The data acquires from
sensors or devices can be transmitted through it. The end node can communicate
with coordinator directly or via a router to coordinator.

As traditional network, the Wireless Sensor Network provides the star, tree and mesh
topologies for various applications.

Chapter 1 Understanding Your System

1.1.3 Low-power Consumption and Battery-Powered Design

ADAM-2000 is designed as a standalone device for applications that require long­time operation without maintenance. Therefore power consumption taken into con­sideration during its design. The ADAM-2000 not only follows the IEEE 802.15.4
standard for low-power consumption wireless communication, but also optimizes the
peripheral HW and FW design to achieve the uA power consumption: making it capa­ble of being powered using 2 AA Alkaline batteries.

1.1.4 Sensor Embedded Design

Sensor embedded design makes the ADAM-2000 even better in some specified and
compact applications. The ADAM-2031Z integrates a temperature, humidity. The
module is suitable for building automation, Green-house, environment applications
which require the specified sensors. With the batteries installed into the ADAM­2031Z no extra wiring is required and the two modules can work independently.

1.1.5 Wireless Signal Indicator

There are LEDs in the front of the panel to display the status of device. The LEDs can
indicate the device's status, wireless signal strength, battery power level and error
conditions. With the LEDs, users can easily see the status of the ADAM-2000 by
pressing a button on the side of the ADAM-2000.

1.1.6 Industrial Standard Modbus Protocol

Modbus is an industrial standard serial communication protocol, and a commonly
available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for com­munication between many devices connected to the same network. Modbus RTU is
used in serial communication and makes use of a compact binary representation of
the data for protocol communication. The RTU format follows the commands/data
with a cyclic redundancy check checksum as an error check mechanism to ensure
the reliability of data.

1.1.7 SCADA Software Support

ADAM-2000 supports industrial standard Modbus protocol and can be integrated into
Advantech HMI, WOP, SCADA - WebAccess and 3rd party HMI. With the different
ADAM-2000 modules, it is able to acquire signal from digital input, analog input, tem­perature, humidity, luminance and CO2 concentration then the signals can be apply
to your application.

1.1.8 Advantech Software Alignment

As with all other ADAM devices, the ADAM-2000 integrates into the ADAM .NET Util­ity, therefore users will have an identical user experience. With the powerful Advan­tech software, only a few steps are required to search and configure the ADAM-2000
series.

1.2.3 Wireless Communication Range

Thought the wireless technology brings the advantage of flexibility, cost-effective wir­ing and easy deployment, but users must understand its limitations to enjoy the ben­efits of the wireless technology.

The Link Quality Indicator (LQI) of the ADAM-2000 displays how the facts below
affect the wireless signal. Its indicator represents the Received Signal Strength Indi­cation (RSSI) and the retransmission times of a packet. The better the LQI, the better
the wireless data packet transmission quality. The limitation of the wireless communi­cation range depends on following factors:

 Transmission power  Receiver sensitivity
 Interference  Line of Sight

 Antenna Performance  Shelter

 Altitude above Ground  Free Space Loss

Note! For more information on these factors, contact your supplier.

1.2.4 Selecting Topology

Usually, when building a network solution, the user has to take into consideration the
topology that will be used since different topologies have different characteristics.
The ADAM-2000 series provides start, tree and mesh topologies. No further configu­ration is required, the ADAM-2000 series will automatically associate the network by
the locations of the ADAM-2000 series units. Users may select the correct topology
and install ADAM-2000s for their application systems. See the image below and
Table 1.2 provide the illustrations and characteristics comparison table of the three
topologies.

1.5.2 I/O Module Wiring

The system uses a plug-in screw terminal block as the interface between I/O mod­ules and external devices. When connecting external devices to the I/O modules, fol­lows the guideline below.

1. The maximum wire diameter allowed for the terminal block is 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

2. Always use an integrity wire.

3. Keep wires as short as possible.

4. Use wire trays or wire holders to secure wires.

5. Avoid running wires close to high energy wiring.

6. Keep input wiring and output wiring apart.

7. Avoid any sharp bend to the wires.

8. Follow the (+) and (-) symbols on the side panel to wire correctly.

1.5.3 Communication Wiring

In a WPAN, only the Gateway needs to connect to a host. The ADAM-2520Z is the
Wireless Sensor Network Modbus RTU Gateway of the ADAM-2000 series and pro­vides RS-422/485 and USB interfaces to connect to host. Users can choose one of
the interfaces by pushing the switch to RS-422/485 or USB position.
