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?

Network
If necessary, you still can change IP Address, Subnet Address, and
Default Gateway of selected ADAM-6000 module in this tab. The Host
Idle (Timeout) text box is used for TCP connection timeout. The maxi-
mum number of TCP connections of one ADAM-6000 module is 8. Any
application using TCP to communicate with the ADAM-6000 module
will occupy at least one connection. If there is no communication for one
connection after a specific timeout interval, ADAM-6000 module will
close that connection and release it to others. Without this feature, when
the number of TCP connection exceeds the maximum number (namely
8), no more other application can connect to the ADAM-6000 modules.
Note: When you use web browser to open the web page on
Adam-6000, the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) will use
several TCP connections mentioned above to download .jar file. Those connections will be released after
the .jar file is downloaded completely.

In the top right-hand corner of the Status Display area is the Calibration
area. You can choose the Zero Calibration button to do zero calibration.
After you click the button, a pop-up dialog window will remind you to
connect a signal with minimum value of full scale range (for example, 0
Volt) to the calibrated channel. After you complete the hardware wiring,
click the Apply button to start the calibration action. Similarly, you can
choose the Span Calibration button to do span calibration. For span calibration, you need to connect a signal with maximum value of full scale
range (for example, 10 Volt) to the calibrated channel. It is the same that
when you complete the wiring, click the Apply button to start the calibration action.
ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 74
At the bottom of the Status Display area, you can see five tabs to see ana-
log input value of all channels:

2. Average Setting
ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 modules feature averaging
calculation function by its built-in processor. You can simply click the
check boxes representing the channels in the Averaging channel setting
area to decide which channels are used for averaging. For example, by
Figure 5.8 below, five channels (channel 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4) are used for
averaging. So you can see the average value of those five channels displayed by the Average text box.
Figure 5.8: Analog Input Average Setting
3. Modbus (Current)
You can see current analog input value in decimal, hexadecimal, and
engineer unit for all related Modbus address.
4. Modbus (Max)
ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 modules feature historical
maximum value recording. You can see historical maximum analog input
value in decimal, hexadecimal, and engineer unit for all related Modbus
address. To re-initialize the recording, click the buttons representing the
channels you want to reset.
ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 76
5. Modbus (Min)
ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 modules feature historical
minimum value recording. You can see historical minimum analog input
value in decimal, hexadecimal, and engineer unit for all related Modbus
address. If you want to re-initialize the recording, click the buttons representing the channels you want to reset.
Individual Channel Configuration
You can see analog input value and configure setting for each channel.
Simply click one of the Individual Channel Configuration items for the
interested channel. (The average channel you set in the Averaging set-
ting will also be displayed here) At the upper part of the Status Display
area, you can see the current analog input value and defined range of that
channel by the Input value and Input range text box. Refer to Figure 5.9
below.
Figure 5.9: Analog Input Alarm Mode Configuration
77 Chapter 5
ADAM-6015, 6017 and 6018 modules all feature built-in alarm function.
At the lower part of the Status Display area, there are two tabs to configure the high alarm and low alarm for the selected channel: High alarm
and Low alarm. When the analog input value is higher than the high
alarm value, or lower than the low alarm value, the alarm condition
occurs. Then the alarm status will be activated to logic high. For ADAM6015 module, ADAM.NET Utility can detect the alarm status and show it
by the Alarm status LED display. For ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018
module, when the alarm condition occurs, the Alarm status LED display
will be lit. Besides, the specified digital output channel will generate
logic high value if you build the mapping relationship between alarm and
DO channel in the DO mapping area. You can set the DO channel by
Channel combo box in the DO mapping area. After choosing the interested channel, click the Apply button.
There are three alarm modes. You can select the alarm mode by the
Alarm mode combo box for the low alarm and high alarm respectively.
1. Disable: Alarm is disabled. So even when the alarm condition
occurs, nothing will happen.
2. Latch: Once the alarm condition occurs, the alarm status will be
activated to logic high level and will keep the value until the alarm
is clear manually. Before the value is clear, the Alarm status LED
will continuously be lit. For ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 module, the specific output channel (chosen in the DO mapping area)
will continuously generate logic high value. You can clear the
alarm by click the Clear latch button.
3. Momentary: The alarm status will dynamically change depends on
if the alarm condition occurs. If the alarm condition occurs, the
alarm status will be logic high. If the alarm condition disappears,
the alarm status will be logic low. So not only the Alarm status
LED in the utility but also the specific digital output channel value
will change depend on the alarm condition.
After you choose the alarm mode for high alarm or low alarm, click the
Apply mode button. Then you can define the high alarm value or low
alarm value by entering the value in Alarm limit text box. After you
enter the alarm value, click the Apply limit button. Once you have configured the alarm mode and alarm value, you can leverage ADAM-6000
analog input alarm function.

• Universal Input and Output Module (ADAM-6024)
All Channel Configuration
ADAM-6024 module features analog input, analog output, digital input
and digital output. Click the All Channel Configuration item. In the
Status Display area, there will be two tabs: Input and Output. On the
Input tab, there are still four parts on the Status Display area, which is
the same as ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 module. All
the configurations in the Channels Range Configuration, Integration
Time Configuration and Calibration areas are just the same as the configuration of ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 module.
Refer to Figure 5.10 below.
Figure 5.10: ADAM-6024 Input Tab
However, at the bottom of the Status Display area, there are only two
tabs to see analog input value of all channels: (This is because ADAM6024 doesn’t feature averaging, maximum and minimum calculation
function)
79 Chapter 5
1. Channel Setting
You can see the current value of analog input on this tab. Choose the
check box of the analog input channels you want to monitor and click the
Apply button. If the analog input value is out of the input range, you will
see “Over(L)” in the analog input value text box. At the right side, you
can see current digital input value by DI 0 and DI 1 LED display.
You also can see the graphical historical trend of analog input channel by
clicking the Tre nd Log button. All the operations for trend logging is the
same as ADAM-6015, ADAM-6017 and ADAM-6018 module.
2. Modbus
You can see current analog input value in decimal and hexadecimal for all
related Modbus address.
On Output tab, you can write value to analog and digital output channel,
as well as configure all related setting. There are also two tabs on the Output tab: Channel setting and Modbus. Refer to Figure 5.11 below.
Figure 5.11: ADAM-6024 Output Tab
ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 80
1. Channel Setting
Similar to analog input configuration, you can set different range for each
analog output channel. Select the channel number in the Channel index
combo box, and then select the range in the Output range combo box.
After selecting appropriate range, click the Apply button.
At the bottom left-hand corner of the Output tab, you can define the analog output value by using the horizontal pointer slide or the Value to Out-
put text box. After you have chosen the appropriate analog output value,
click the Apply output button.
Besides, you can set the startup value of the specific analog output channel. (The analog output channel will generate the startup value output
when it is power-on. In other words, start-up value can be considered as a
power-on value.) Use the horizontal slider or the Val u e to ou tp ut text
box to define the value and click Apply button. Then click the Set as
startup button to save that value as startup value.
At the bottom right-hand corner of the Output tab, it is Calibration area.
There are two buttons used to calibrate the maximum and minimum value
of full range. The label on the buttons will change depending on the output range. Take figure 5.11 as example, labels on the two buttons are
Trim for 4 mA (calibrate for minimum value of full range) and Trim f o r
20 mA (calibrate for maximum value of full range).
After you click one of the buttons, one dialog window will appear. Use
another instrument to measure the output value. Then use the four buttons
(-10, -1, +1, +10) on the dialog window to correct the analog output
value. For example, if you click the Tri m for 4 mA button, the specific
analog output channel should generate 4 mA. However, the instrument
reads 3.88 mA. So you need to use +1 and +10 button to adjust the output
value, until the output value is truly 4 mA.
In the top right-hand corner of the Output tab, you can control the digital
output value by the DO 0 and DO 1 button. Their value will be display by
the LED near the button.
81 Chapter 5
2. Modbus
You can see current output value in decimal and hexadecimal for all
related Modbus address.

You can see value of all digital input channels by related LED display in
this tab. Besides, you also can control values of all digital output channels
by related button. The LED next to the button will display current value
of that digital output channel.
ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 82
When the communication between host PC and ADAM-6000 digital
modules is broken, the digital output channel can generate a predefined
value (this value is called fail safe value). You can enable or disable this
function by click the Turn on WDT checked channel when WDT trig-
gered check box. You can define the fail safe value by the WDT check
box next to the DO status LED. After configure related setting, click the
Apply WDT button. Take Figure 5.13 below as example. The fail safe
value function is enabled. If the communication between ADAM-6000
digital module and host PC is broken, channels 0 and 2 will automatically
generate logic high value, while channels 1, 3, 4, 5 will automatically
generate logic low value.
Figure 5.13: Fail Safe Value Configuration
2. Modbus
You can see current digital input or digital output values for all related
Modbus address.
Individual Channel Configuration
You can see digital input value and configure setting for each digital input
channel. It is the same that you can control the digital output value and
configure setting for each digital output channel. Simply click the channel
interested in the Individual Channel Configuration items.
If you choose a digital input channel, the Status Display area should look
similar to Figure 5.14 below.
83 Chapter 5
Figure 5.14: Individual Channel Configuration: DI
You can choose different mode for that digital input channel by choosing
the DI mode combo box at top of Status Display area. (You should
choose the appropriate mode depending on the hardware specification.)
After you have chosen the mode, click the Apply mode button. There are
a total of five possible DI modes you can choose:
1. DI
Figure 5.14 is the image when you choose DI mode. At the bottom of the
Status Display area, you can see the digital input value by DI status
LED display. If the digital module you are using supports Invert DI Status
function, there will be Invert signal check box in the Setting area. You
can click the check box to enable or disable that function. Remember to
click the Apply all button for all channels or Apply this button for this
specific channel to complete the configuration. When you enable the
Invert DI Status function, the ADAM-6000 digital module will automatically inverse the digital input value. For example, if the real external signal value is logic level low, then the DI status LED display will be lit.
All ADAM-6000 digital modules support digital filter, so you can enable
or disable the filter by click the Enable digital filter check box. If you
enable the filter, you can define the minimum acceptable signal width by
the Minimum low signal width and Minimum high signal width text
box. (Unit: ms) The high frequency noise will be removed by this filter.
Remember to click the Apply all button for all channels or Apply this
button for this specific channel to complete the configuration.
ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 84
2. Counter
When you choose Counter mode, one counter will count the pulse number of the digital signal from the selected channel, and then record the
count number in the register. The image of the Status Display area looks
similar as that of DI mode. At the bottom of the Status Display area, current count value of the selected channel is displayed by the Counter
value text box. You can start or stop the counter to count by clicking the
Star/Stop button next to the Counter value text box. You also can reset
the counter (the value in the register will be initialized to zero) by clicking the Clear button.
Like the DI mode, you can enable/disable the Invert DI Status function
and digital filter in the Setting area. The operation is the same. There is
one extra setting that you can define if the counter should keep the last
value when ADAM-6000 digital module powers off. If you enable this
function, when the digital module powers off, the last value of counter
will be kept in the register. As the module powers on, the counter will
continuously count from that value. Without this function, when the module powers off, the counter will reset and the count value in the register
will be zero. You can enable or disable this function by clicking the Keep
last value when power off check box. Remember to click the Apply all
button for all channels or Apply this button for this specific channel to
complete the configuration.
3. Low to High Latch
When you choose Low to High Latch mode, once the digital input channel detects logic level changes from low to high, the logic status will be
keep as logic high. The logic status will remain the logic high, until you
clear latch manually. Then the logic status will back to logic low. The
logic status can be seen by the Latch status LED display at the bottom of
the Status Display area. You can clear latch by clicking the Clear latch
button. It is the same as DI mode that you can enable or disable the Invert
DI Status function in the Setting area. Remember to click the Apply all
button for all channels or Apply this button for this specific channel to
complete the configuration.
85 Chapter 5
4. High to Low Latch
When you choose High to Low Latch mode, once the digital input channel detects logic level changes from high to low, the logic status will be
keep as logic low. The logic status will remain the logic low, until you
clear latch manually. Then the logic status will back to logic high. The
logic status can be seen by the Latch status LED display at the bottom of
the Status Display area. You can clear latch by clicking the Clear latch
button. It is the same as DI mode that you can enable or disable the Invert
DI Status function in the Setting area. Remember to click the Apply all
button for all channels or Apply this button for this specific channel to
complete the configuration.
5. Frequency
When you choose Frequency mode, ADAM-6000 digital module will calculate the frequency value of the digital input signal from the selected
channel. The frequency value will be displayed by the Frequency value
text box at the bottom of the Status Display area.
If you choose a digital output channel in the Individual Channel Config-
uration items, the Status Display area should look similar to Figure 5.15
below.
Figure 5.15: Individual Channel Configuration: DO
You can choose different mode for that digital output channel by choosing the DO mode combo box at top of Status Display area. (You should
choose the appropriate mode depending on the hardware specification.)
After you have chosen the mode, click the Apply mode button. There are
totally four possible DO modes you can choose:
ADAM-6000 Series User Manual 86
1. DO
Figure 5.15 is the image when you choose DO mode. You can control the
digital output value of the selected channel by the DO button. The current
digital output value will be shown by the DO status LED display.
2. Pulse Output
The pulse output is the same as PWR. After you choose the Pulse output
mode, the selected digital output channel can generate continuous pulse
train or finite pulses. You can define the pulse width by entering into the
Low signal width and High signal width text box in the Setting area.
(Unit: 0.1 ms) The frequency and duty cycle of the pulse output signal
will be calculated automatically and displayed by the Output frequency
and Duty cycle text box. After you complete the setting, click the Apply
change button. Then you can choose to generate continuous pulse train or
finite pulses by selecting the Continuous (for pulse train) or the Fixed
total (for finite pulses) radio button. The text box at the right hand of the
Fixed total button is used to define how many pulses you want to gener-
ate. After select the pulse output mode, click the Start or Stop button to
generate or stop the pulse output.
3. Low to High Delay
When you choose Low to High delay mode, it is almost the same as
choosing the DO mode. The only difference is that there will be certain
time delay when the output value changes from logic low to logic high.
Refer to Figure 5.16 below for its process. You can define the delay time
by entering its value into the Delay time text box in the Setting area.
After you complete the setting, click the Apply button. Then you can
control the digital output value by the DO button and see its current value
by the DO status LED display at the bottom of the Status Display area.

5.3.4 Peer-to-Peer Function
• What is Peer-to-Peer?
When you want to send a signal from one module to another module,
Peer-to-Peer is a perfect solution. With Peer-to-Peer function enabled,
ADAM-6000 modules can actively update its input value to other devices
such as PC or another ADAM-6000 module. One typical application is
using a pair of ADAM-6000 modules. The value of input channel on one
module will be automatically updated to output channel on another module. The data will be transferred automatically as long as the connection
between the two ADAM-6000 modules is already built. No controller is
needed to take care of the communication. ADAM-6000 modules feature
two types of Peer-to-Peer function:
Note: Please use Ethernet Switch between a pair of Peer-to-
Peer modules. Do not use an Ethernet hub. This can
prevent data packet collision.
Note: ADAM-6000 modules support 2 features: Peer-to-Peer
(Event) and GCL (GCL will be introduced in Chapter 7). You
cannot enable these two features at the same time. So if
you has enabled GCL function before, and want to use
Peer-to-Peer (Event) function now, you need to disable GCL
function first. (See Section 7.2 for how to disable GCL)
Note: To utilize Peer-to-Peer function, you need to upgrade firm-
ware version of your ADAM-6000 module to 3.x or later.
1. Basic Mode:
For basic mode, there will be only one target device to receive the data
transferred from one ADAM-6000 module (Module A). Usually the target device is another ADAM-6000 module (Module B). The input channels of Module A will be mapping to the output channels of module B.
Meanwhile, value of all the input channels of module A will automatically update to output channels of module B. Of course, you can define
mask to disconnect relationship between some input and output channels.

For advanced mode, there will be multiple target devices to receive the
data transferred from one ADAM-6000 module (Module A). For example, there can be several ADAM-6000 modules receiving data from the
Module A. You can define different target devices (by different IP
address) to each channel of module A. For example, you can define the
input channel 1 of Module A is mapping to the output channel 3 of Module B, while input channel 2 of Module A is mapping to the output channel 4 of Module C. So value of input channel 1 and 2 on Module A will
automatically update to channel 3 on Module B and channel 4 on Module
C, respectively. Refer to the figures 5.18 and 5.19 below, and you will
more clearly understand the difference between these two modes.
