ADAM 4100 Series User’s Manual
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 communicate through the ADAM
command set. (See Appendix A, Utility Software)
ADAM Communication Speed
In ADAM series, the baud rate can be configured from 1200 bps to
115.2 Kbps. However, the baud rate of all modules in an RS-485
network must be the same.
ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS485 Converter (optional)
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 not
addressable by the host, the baud rate must be reset using a switch
inside the module. The factory default setting is 9600 baud.
ADAM Repeater (optional)
When communication lines exceed 4000 ft (1200 meter) or more than
32 ADAM modules are connected, a repeater should be implemented.
In a network, up to eight Repeater modules can be connected allowing
connection up to 255 ADAM modules. As with the Converter module,
the Repeater module is not addressable by the host and the baud rate
must be reset by changing the switch inside the module. The factory
default setting is 9600 baud.
