7 ADAM-4000 Series User Manual
Chapter 2 Installation Guideline
The power cables should be selected according to the length of the power lines and
the number of modules connected. When implementing a network with long cables,
the use of thicker wire is more suitable due to the limitation of DC voltage drop. Fur-
thermore, long wires can also cause interference with communication wires.
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 colors (as indicated on the modules) for each
the communication line:
DATA+ (Y) Yellow
DATA- (G) Green
ADAM Utility Software
A menu-driven utility program is provided for ADAM module configuration, monitoring
and, calibration. It also includes a terminal emulation program that lets you communi-
cate through the ADAM command set. (See Appendix D, Utility Software and online
help)
Note! User can refer our help file to see more details for explanation of Utility
operation.
