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 mod-
ules to existing Ethernet networks, or use ADAM-6000 modules in new
Ethernet-enabled eManufacturing networks. ADAM-6000 modules fea-
ture a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet chip and support industrial popular Modbus/
TCP protocols over TCP/IP for data connection. ADAM-6000 also sup-
ports UDP protocol over Ethernet networking. With UDP/IP, ADAM-
6000 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 pre-
built 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 Ana-
log 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 oper-
ations. 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.
