1-2 ADAM-5510/P31
Introduction
1.1 Standalone Data Acquisition and Control System
The task of monitoring and controlling a process in a laboratory in an
industrial plant can be extremely complex. As the number of data
collection points and process control actuators in the network
increases, this task becomes more challenging. PC-based DA&C
systems provide a high value alternative to older, more expensive
technology in the control industry, since they only require a desktop
PC or equivalent at their core. Now Advantech's ADAM-5510/P31 can
operate a process control network independently, without a connec-
tion to a desktop PC. Integrated with Advantech Paradym-31, ADAM-
5510/P31 offers an IEC-1131-3 compliant run time engine that meets
every need you might have expected: simple structure, ease of use and
plenty of power.
1.2 Features
1.2.1 Open structure PC-based controller
In contrast to traditional proprietary PLCs, Advantech ADAM-5510/
P31 adapts the structure of a PC. Given the prevalence of PCs in our
offices and in our daily lives, it is advantageous to use the structure of
a PC since a large number of people will be acquainted with it. Using
PC-based technology will shorten training times and increase overall
profits.
1.2.2 A choice of programming languages
ADAM-5510/P31 offers a choice of programming languages since it
can be used with Advantech Paradym-31, a graphical development
tool, which offers three time-proven programming languages. These
languages are: Ladder Diagram, Sequential Function Chart and
Function Block Diagram. You can choose the language that best fits
your application or skills, and can even switch between languages or
combine them within a single program. This makes development
fastand easy.
1.2.3 Data storage for versatile applications
ADAM-5510/P31 is equipped with plenty of storage space for devel-
oping complex logic or for data storage applications. It has 256 KB of
