Chapter 1 Understanding Your System

1.1 Introduction

ADAM-6000 Ethernet-based data acquisition and control modules pro­vide I/O, data acquisitions, and networking in one module to build a cost­effective, distributed monitoring and control solution for a wide variety of
applications. Through standard Ethernet networking, ADAM-6000
retrieves I/O values from sensors, and can publish them as a real-time I/O
values to networking nodes via LAN, Intranet, or Internet. With Ethernet­enabled technology, ADAM-6000 series modules build up a cost-effec­tive DA&C system for Building Automation, Environmental Monitoring,
Facility Management and eManufacturing applications. Please refer to
Figure 1-1 for a brief overview of the ADAM-6000 system architecture.

Figure 1.1: ADAM-6000 System Architecture

ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 2

1.2 Major Features

1.2.1 Ethernet-enabled DA&C I/O Modules

ADAM-6000 is based on popular Ethernet networking standards used in
most business environments. Users can easily add ADAM-6000 I/O mod­ules to existing Ethernet networks, or use ADAM-6000 modules in new
Ethernet-enabled eManufacturing networks. ADAM-6000 modules fea­ture a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet chip and support industrial popular Modbus/
TCP protocols over TCP/IP for data connection. ADAM-6000 also sup­ports UDP protocol over Ethernet networking. With UDP/IP, ADAM­6000 I/O modules can actively send I/O data stream to 8 Ethernet nodes.
Through Ethernet networking, HMI/SCADA systems, and controllers,
users can access or gather real-time data from ADAM-6000 Ethernet
enabled DA&C modules. This data can then be integrated with business
systems to compile valuable business information.

1.2.2 Intelligent I/O Modules

Upgraded from traditional I/O modules, the ADAM-6000 series have pre­built intelligent mathematic functions to empower system capacity. The
Digital Input modules provide Counter, Totalizer functions; the Digital
Output modules provide pulse output, delay output functions; the Analog
Input modules provide the Max./Min./Average data calculation; the Ana­log Output modules provide the PID loop control function.

1.2.3 Mixed I/O to Fit All Applications

ADAM-6000 series mixed I/O design provides the most cost-effective
I/O usage for application systems. The most common used I/O type for
single function units are collected in one module. This design concept not
only saves I/O usage and saves costs, but also speeds up I/O relative oper­ations. For small DA&C system or standalone control units from mid to
large scales, ADAM-6000’s mixed I/O design can easily fit application
needs with one or two modules only. With additional embedded control
modules, ADAM-6000 can easily create a localized, less complex, and
more distributed I/O architecture.

3 Chapter 1

1.2.4 Remote Monitoring & Diagnosis

Each ADAM-6000 module features a pre-built I/O module web page to
display real-time I/O data values, alarms, and module status thru LAN or
Internet. Through any Internet browser, users can monitor real-time I/O
data values and alarms at local or remote sites. Then, the web-enabled
monitoring system is completed immediately without any programming.

1.2.5 Industrial Standard Modbus/TCP Protocol

ADAM-6000 modules support the popular industrial standard, Modbus/
TCP protocol, to connect with Ethernet Controller or HMI/SCADA soft­ware built with Modbus/TCP driver. Advantech also provides OPC server
for Modbus/TCP to integrate ADAM-6000 I/O real-time data value with
OPC client enabled software, freeing users from driver development.

1.2.6 Customized Web Page

Since ADAM-6000 modules build in a default web page, users can moni­tor and control the I/O status in anywhere through Internet Explorer
Browser. Moreover, ADAM-6000 modules can download user-defined
web pages for individual applications. Advantech has provided sample
programs of JAVA Script for users reference to design their own operator
interface, then download it into the specific ADAM-6000 modules via
Windows Utility.

1.2.7 Modbus/TCP Software Support

The ADAM-6000 firmware is a built-in Modbus/TCP server. Therefore,
Advantech provides the necessary OPC Server, ADAM .NET Class
Library and Windows ADAM .NET Utility for users. Users can configure
this DA&C system via Windows Utility; integrate with HMI software
package via Modbus/TCP driver or Modbus/TCP OPC Server. Even
more, you can use the DLL driver and ActiveX to develop your own
applications.

2.1 Selecting an I/O Module

To organize an ADAM-6000 remote data acquisition & control system,
you need to select I/O modules to interface the host PC with field devices
or processes that you have previously determined. There are several
things should be considered when you select the I/O modules.

• What type of I/O signal is applied in your system?

• How much I/O is required to your system?

• How will you place the modules to handle I/O points in individual areas
of an entire field site?

• How many modules are required for distributed I/O point arrangement?

• How many hubs are required for the connection of these devices?

• 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?

2.3 Selecting an Operator Interface

To complete your Data Acquisition and Control system, selecting the
operator interface is necessary. Adopting the Modbus/TCP Protocol,
ADAM-6000 I/O modules exhibit high ability in system integration for
various applications.

If you want to read the real-time status of ADAM-6000 modules through
the web page from anywhere without any engineering effort, there are
many Internet browser software:

• Internet Explorer, Netscape, and other browser with JAVA Machine

If you want to develop your own web pages in the ADAM-6000 modules,
the JAVA Script will be the quick and easy programming tool to design a
specific operator interface.

• J2EE Development Kit

If you want to integrate ADAM-6000 I/O with HMI (Human Machine
Interface) software in a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisi­tion) system, there are a lot of HMI software packages, which support
Modbus/TCP driver.

• Advantech Studio

• Wonderware InTouch

• Intellution Fix of i-Fix

• Any other software support Modbus/TCP protocol

Moreover, Advantech also provides OPC Server, the most easy-to-use
data exchange tool in worldwide. Any HMI software designed with OPC
Client would be able to access ADAM-6000 I/O modules.

• Modbus/TCP OPC Server

If you want to develop your own applications, the ADAM.NET Class
Library will be the best tools to build up users operator interface.

With these ready-to-go application software packages, tasks such as
remote data acquisition, process control, historical trending and data
analysis require only a few keystrokes.

3.2 Mounting

ADAM-6000 modules are designed as compact units and are allowed to
be installed in the field site under the following methods.

3.2.1 Panel Mounting

Each ADAM-6000 Module is packed with a plastic panel mounting
bracket. Users can refer the dimensions of the bracket to configure an
optimal placement in a panel or cabinet. Fix the bracket first, then, fix the
ADAM-6000 module on the bracket.

3.2.2 DIN-rail mounting

The ADAM-6000 module can also be secured to the cabinet by using
mounting rails. Fix the ADAM-6000 module with the DIN-rail adapter as
Figure 3-3. Then secure it on the DIN-rail as Figure 3-4. If you mount the
module on a rail, you should also consider using end brackets at each end
of the rail. The end brackets help keep the modules from sliding horizon­tally along the rail.

3.3 Wiring & Connections

This section provides basic information on wiring the power supply, I/O
units, and network connection.

3.3.1 Power Supply Wiring

Although the ADAM-6000/TCP systems are designed for a standard
industrial unregulated 24 VDC power supply, they accept any power unit
that supplies within the range of +10 to +30 VDC. The power supply rip­ple must be limited to 200 mV peak-to-peak, and the immediate ripple
voltage should be maintained between +10 and +30 VDC. Screw termi­nals +Vs and GND are for power supply wiring.

Note: The wires used should be at least 2 mm.

ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 18

Figure 3.5: ADAM-6000 Module Power Wiring

We advise that the following standard colors (indicated on the modules)
be used for power lines:

+Vs (R) Red

GND (B) Black

3.3.2 I/O Module Wiring

The system uses a plug-in screw terminal block for the interface between
I/O modules and field devices. The following information must be con­sidered when connecting electrical devices to I/O modules.

1. The terminal block accepts wires from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

2. Always use a continuous length of wire. Do not combine wires.

3. Use the shortest possible wire length.

4. Use wire trays for routing where possible.

5. Avoid running wires near high-energy wiring.

6. Avoid running input wiring in close proximity to output wiring.

7. Avoid creating sharp bends in the wires.
