Chapter 2 Selecting Your Hardware
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?
Refer to table 2-1 for I/O module selection guidelines
