Do you know the ADAM family?

The ADAM-6050

Advantech is a global leader in data acquisition I/O module design and manufacturing, offering complete stand-alone data acquisition modules which are broadly used in industrial applications such as facility monitoring, industrial process control and environmental monitoring.

Advantech remote I/O modules are categorised into two families, Ethernet I/O (ADAM-6000 series) and RS-485 I/O (ADAM-4000 series), further subdivided into Analog I/O and Digital I/O modules some of which support the industry-leading Modbus communication protocol.

The ADAM Remote I/O module series has been a consistent and reliable figure in the industrial automation field for almost 20 years. Whether you are implementing large or small automation systems, Advantech’s ADAM Remote I/O modules offer the cornerstone for your e-automation requirements.

The ADAM-4000 Remote I/O series

ADAM-4000 modules are the perfect choice for establishing a cost-effective remote I/O system. Customers can benefit from ADAM-4000 modules through its simple wiring - using only two wires to communicate with their controller or other RS-485 devices. ADAM-4000 modules use the EIA RS-485 communication protocol; the industry's most widely used bi-directional, balanced transmission line suitable for industrial environments.

The robust ADAM-4100 series is designed for reliable operation in harsh environments and feature a wider -40C to +85C operating temperature range, higher noise immunity with isolated input/output and a broader 10V to 48V DC power input range.

The ADAM-6000 Remote Ethernet I/O series

In the past, integrating automation and enterprise systems required changing the entire architecture of the control system. The Advantech ADAM-6000 series accomplishes this integration easily using the latest internet technology to remotely monitor device status’ more flexibly.

Industrial Ethernet is fast becoming the de facto standard in industrial networks as its open network architecture provides seamless integration between layers. This makes the ADAM-6000 series an easy choice for your automation control system as they provide the most popular and open communication interfaces available.

Advantech EKI Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches available at Impulse

Impulse is excited to announce the launch of the EKI Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches from Advantech. Advantech’s Industrial Ethernet Switches offer a variety of features such as high speed Gigabit Ethernet, Copper and Fibre Optic interfaces and Power over Ethernet. In addition, Advantech’s Industrial Ethernet Switches feature X-Ring technology allowing for fast and prompt recovery time (<10 ms) increasing the reliability and speed of network infrastructures.

Featuring a compact DIN-rail mount package, these switches are ideal where panel space is limited. Ruggedised for industrial applications, they feature dual 12 to 48 VDC power inputs with fault relay output, 4,000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection, power line surge (EFT) protection of 3,000 VDC, and feature an industrial operating temperature range. In addition, these switches are CUL (UL/CSA), CE, FCC, and RoHS/WEE certified.

The EKI-6558TI and EKI-6559TMI are IP67 certified with wide temperature support designed especially for the rail and transport industry. M12 connectors are used to securely fasten Optical and Ethernet I/O to ensure reliability in harsh environments.
