Advantech Co ADAM 4570W User Manual
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
ADAM-4570W/4571W is a cost-effective data gateway between RS-232/422/485 and 802.11b
Wireless LAN interfaces. It provides a quick and low-cost method to connect any RS232/422/485 device to 802.11b wireless LAN. Functionally transparent and efficient, ADAM4570W and ADAM-4571W saves costs when existing H/W & S/W must continue to be use d.
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W bring the advantages of remote management and data
accessibility to thousands of RS-232/422/485 devices that cannot connect to the network.
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W provide one or two RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and the
transmission speed is up to 230 kbps, meeting the demand for high-speed data exchange. In
addition, you can use a Windows® utility to configure ADAM-4570W and ADAM-457 1W
without further programming. This not only protects your current hardware investment but also
ensures future network expandability. Since the protocol conversion is transparent, all your
existing devices can be seamlessly integrated with the 802.11b wireless LAN network.
Therefore, ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W can be used in se curity systems, factory
automation, SCADA, transportation and more.
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W integrate both your existing human-machine interface
software (HMI) and the RS-232/422/485 system architecture with an 802.11b Wireless LAN
network. The result helps you save cabling and software development costs. Another benefit
is that ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W makes it possible to remotely download programs to
a designated device via 802.11b wireless LAN. This reduces the need for on-site
maintenance and diagnosis. In addition, ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W comes with a
Windows configuration and port-mapping utility. The configuration tool can auto-detect all
802.11b wireless LAN Data Gateway products on the local network. It also lets you adjust all
settings easily. The port mapping utility helps you to set up COM ports for one Windows®
NT/2000/XP platform. This helps you configure all ports to meet your requirements.
