ADAM 4100 Series User’s Manual
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
before you start. Guidelines regarding layout are given in Appendix E:
RS-485 Network.
2.1 System Requirements to set up an ADAM network
The following list gives an overview of what is needed to setup, install
and configure an ADAM environment.
• ADAM modules
• A host computer, such as an IBM PC/AT compatible, that can
output ASCII characters with a RS-232C or RS-485 port.
• Power supply for the ADAM modules (+10 to +48 V
DC
)
• ADAM Series Utility software
• ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter (optional)
• ADAM Repeater (optional)
Host computer
Any computer or terminal that can output in ASCII format over either
RS-232 or RS-485 can be connected as the host computer. When only
RS-232 is available, an ADAM RS-232/RS-485 Converter is required
to transform the host signals to the correct RS-485 protocol. The
converter also provides opto-isolation and transformer-based isolation
to protect your equipment.
Power supply
For the ease of use in industrial environments, the ADAM modules are
designed to accept industry standard +24 V
DC
or +48 V
DC
, unregulated
power. Operation is guaranteed when using any power supply between
+10 and +48 V
DC
. Power ripples must be limited to 5 V peak to peak
while the voltage in all cases must be maintained between +10 and +48
V
DC
. All power supply specifications are referenced at module
