Introduction 1.1 Overview The ADAM Series is a set of intelligent sensor-to-computer interface modules containing built-in microprocessor. They are remotely controlled through a simple set of commands issued in ASCII format and transmitted in RS-485 protocol. They provide signal conditioning, isolation, ranging, A/D and D/A conversion, data comparison, and digital communication functions. Some modules provide digital I/O lines for controlling relays and TTL devices. Software Configu

Chapter 1 The command set for input modules is larger because it incorporates alarm functions. All communications to and from the module are performed in ASCII, which means that ADAM modules can be virtually programmed in any high-level language. RS-485 Network The RS-485 network provides lower-noise sensor readings, as modules can be placed much closer to the source. Up to 256 ADAM modules may be connected to an RS-485 multi-drop network by using the ADAM RS-485 repeater which exten

Introduction ADAM modules can be mounted on any panels, brackets, or DIN rails. They can also be stacked together. The RS-485 network, together with screw-terminal plug connectors, allows for system expansion, reconfiguration, and repair without disturbing field wiring. Protection against the environment Since all the configurations are controlled by software, the protection provided by the packaging is very important. The plastic outer shell enhances resistance against corrosive ma

Installation Guideline This chapter provides guidelines to what is needed to set up and install an ADAM network. A quick hookup scheme is provided that lets you configure modules before they are installed in a network. To help you connect ADAM modules with sensor inputs, several wiring examples are provided. At last, you will find a programming example using the ADAM command set at the end of this chapter. Be sure to plan the layout and configuration of your network carefully befor

Chapter 2 Power supply For the ease of use in industrial environments, the ADAM modules are designed to accept industry standard +24 V , unregulated power. DC Operation is guaranteed when using any power supply between +10 and +30 V . Power ripples must be limited to 5 V peak to peak while the DC voltage in all cases must be maintained between +10 and +30 V . All DC power supply specifications are referenced at module connector. When modules are powered remotely, the effects of DC v

Installation Guideline Figure 2-1 Power Supply Connections We advise the following standard colors (as indicated on the modules) for each power line: +Vs (R) Red GND (B) Black Communication Wiring We recommend the use of shielded-twisted-pair cable in the ADAM network for reducing interference purpose, but the cable has to comply with the EIA RS-485 standard. Furthermore, only one set of twisted- pair cable is required for transmitting Data. We advise the following standard c

Chapter 2 Notice: User can refer our help file to see more details for explanation of Utility operation. ADAM Communication Speed In ADAM series, the baud rate can be configured from 1200 bps to 38.4 Kbps. However, the baud rate of all modules in an RS-485 network must be the same. ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS485 Converter (optional): ADAM-452x When the host computer or terminal only has a RS-232 port, an ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter is required. Since this module is n

Installation Guideline 2.2 Basic configuration and hook-up Before placing a module in an existing network, the module should be configured. Though all modules are initially configured at the factory, it is recommended to check if the baud rate is set correctly beforehand. Default Factory Settings Baud rate: 9600 Bit/sec. Address: 01 (hexadecimal) The basic hook-up for module configuration is shown below. Figure 2-2 Basic Hook-up of ADAM Module to Host Switches 2-6 AD

Chapter 2 The following items are required to configure a module: an ADAM converter module, a personal computer with RS-232 port (baud rate set to 9600) and the ADAM utility software. Configuration with the ADAM Utility Software The easiest way to configure the ADAM module is by using the ADAM utility software. It is a user friendly structured menu program that will guide you through every step of the configuration. (See Appendix D, Utility Software) Changing the protocol from ADAM A

Installation Guideline Module at address 01 responds that it is configured for an input range of +/-2.5 V, baud rate of 9600, integration time of 50 ms (60 Hz). The code also shows engineering units and no checksum checking or generation. To change the configuration setting of the analog input module, the following command is issued: %01070F0600(cr) % = change configuration 01 = target module at address 00 to: 07 = change address to 07 hexadecimal 0F = set input range

Chapter 2 2.3 Baud rate and Checksum ADAM modules contain EEPROMs to store configuration information and calibration constants. The EEPROM replaces the conventional array of switches and pots that are originally used for specifying baud rate, input and output range… etc. Since there is no visual indication of a module’s configuration status, it is impossible to know the baud rate, address and other settings just by looking at it. It might not be possible to establish communications
