Remote I/O Modules

Advantech is a global leader in Data acquisition I/O module design and manufacturing, offering complete stand-alone data acquisition modules which are broadly used in industrial applications, such as facility monitoring, environment monitoring, and industrial process control. Advantech Distributed I/O modules are categorized into two families, Ethernet I/O (ADAM-6000 series) and RS-485 I/O (ADAM-4000 series), which are subdivided into Analog I/O and Digital I/O modules with some of them supporting modbus communication protocol.

RS-485 I/O Modules: ADAM-4000

ADAM-4000 modules are the perfect choice for establishing a cost-effective remote I/O system. Customers can benefit from ADAM-4000 modules through its simple wiring --- using only two wires to communicate with their controller or other RS-485 devices. ADAM-4000 modules use the EIA RS-485 communication protocol; the industry's most widely used bi-directional, balanced transmission line suitable for industrial environments.

Robust Remote I/O Modules

ADAM-4100 series I/O modules are compact and versatile sensor-to-computer interface units. They are designed for reliable operation in harsh environments, and can operate normally in wide temperatures from -40 to 85° C, with wide power input and resistance against noise-interference.

Controller Modules

ADAM-4000 controllers include the ADAM-4500 and ADAM-4501 series. The ADAM-4501/4501D are compact Ethernet-enabled controllers with an x86 CPU architecture. They support not only an Ethernet interface but also serial ports. The Ethernet-enabled features include built-in HTTP Server, FTP Server and email alarm functions. The modularized I/O design provides high flexibility for versatile application requirements.

Analog I/O Modules

Analog input modules supply many kinds of the sources, such like thermocouple, RTD, Thermistor or general analog signals. These modules use the EIA RS-485 communication protocol, the industry’s most widely used bi-directional, balanced transmission line standard. They also support the Modbus/RTU protocol as the remote data transmission mechanism. Analog output modules can provide 1 channel to 4 channels to satisfy many kinds of application.

Ethernet I/O Modules: ADAM-6000

In the past, integrating automation and enterprise systems required changing the entire architecture of the control system. Nowadays, Advantech ADAM-6000 accomplishes this integration easily through the latest internet technology, so that it can remotely monitor the device status more flexibly. Advantech’s ADAM-6000 modules are empowered by Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Graphic Condition Logic (GCL), and can perform as standalone products for measurement, control and automation. With Advantech’s P2P and GCL technology, no additional controllers or programming is needed. With the easy-to-use and intuitive graphic utility, system configurations can be done in an extremely short time. The members of ADAM-6000 series include Communication Controllers, Analog Input/Output Modules and Digital Input/Output Modules.

Analog Input/Output Modules

The analog input modules use microprocessor-controlled, high resolution, 16-bit, sigma-delta A/D converters to acquire sensor signals such as voltage, current, thermocouple or RTD.

Digital Input/Ouput Modules

The digital input/output channels provide three operational modes, with each channel able to set its operational mode independently. The counter/frequency module offers two 32-bit counter channels and a built-in programmable timer for frequency measurement. The relay module offers six isolated digital input channels and six isolated relay channels.
