The controller also includes a real-time clock and a watchdog timer function. The real-time clock ensures time recording while events occur. The watchdog timer is designed to automatically reset the microprocessor when the system fails. This feature greatly reduces the level of maintenance required and makes the ADAM-4500 ideal for use in applications that require a high level of system stability. 1.2 Features ??

The ADAM-4500 has a DB-9 pin connector as its RS-232 port connector. Since the connection for an RS-232 interface is not standardized, different devices implement the RS-232 connection in different ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connector. The following table shows the pin assignments for the ADAM- 4500's RS-232 port. Pin No. Description 1 DCD 2 RxD 3 TxD 4 DTR 5 GND 6 DSR 7 RTS 8 CTS 9 RI Table 2-

mini BIOS of ADAM-4500 only provides 10 function calls. Since the user's program can not use other BIOS function calls, the ADAM-4500 may not work as intended. Additionally, certain language compilers such as QBASIC directly call BIOS functions that are not executable in ADAM-4500. The ADAM-4500 mini BIOS function calls are listed in the following table.

Figure 3-1: Converting Program Codes Other Limitations 1. The ADAM-4500 does not support the standard PC function "8253". Therefore, the C language function call "delay ( )" cannot be used in ADAM-4500 applications. 2. Certain critical files are always kept in flash ROM, such as the operating system files, BIOS, and monitoring files. Aside from the storage space needed for these critical files, the ADAM-4500 has an additional 170 KB of free ROM space for downloading user applicati
