1-4 ADAM 4000 Series User's Manual
Introduction
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
Hardened plastic packing forms the outer shell of every module. Since all
configuration is controlled by software, the module is not designed to be
opened. This greatly enhances resistance against corrosive materials,
moisture and vibration. ADAM modules’ low power requirements help
them to operate in temperatures from 0 to 70
o
C
,
and in humidities from 0 to
95% (non-condensing). They’re built compactly using automated SMT
technology so you can pack them into water-tight and explosion-proof
industrial enclosures.
