1.1.3 Low-power Consumption and Battery-Powered Design
ADAM-2000 is designed as a standalone device for applications that require long-
time operation without maintenance. Therefore power consumption taken into con-
sideration during its design. The ADAM-2000 not only follows the IEEE 802.15.4
standard for low-power consumption wireless communication, but also optimizes the
peripheral HW and FW design to achieve the uA-level power consumption: making it
capable of being powered using 2 AA batteries.
1.1.4 Sensor Embedded Design
Sensor embedded design makes the ADAM-2000 even better in some specified and
compact applications. The ADAM-2031Z integrates a temperature and a humidity
sensor. The module is suitable for building automation, Green-house, environment
applications which require the specified sensors. With the batteries installed into the
ADAM-2031Z no extra wiring is required to power the module.
1.1.5 Wireless Signal Indicator
There are LEDs in the front of the panel to display the status of device. The LEDs can
indicate the device's status, wireless signal strength, battery power level and error
conditions. With the LEDs, users can easily check the status of the ADAM-2000 by
pressing a button on the side of the ADAM-2000.
1.1.6 Industrial Standard Modbus Protocol
Modbus is an industrial standard serial communication protocol, and a commonly
available way of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for commu-
nication between many devices connected to the same network. Modbus RTU is
used in serial communication and makes use of a compact binary representation of
the data for protocol communication. The RTU format follows the commands/data
with a cyclic redundancy check checksum as an error check mechanism to ensure
the reliability of data.
1.1.7 SCADA Software Support
ADAM-2000 supports industrial standard Modbus protocol and can be integrated into
Advantech HMI- WOP, SCADA - WebAccess and 3rd party HMI. With the different
ADAM-2000 modules, it is able to acquire signal from digital input, analog input, tem-
perature, humidity and concentration then the signals can be apply to your applica-
tion.
1.1.8 Advantech Software Alignment
As with all other ADAM devices, the ADAM-2000 series is integrated into the AdamA-
pax .NET Utility, therefore users will have an identical user experience. With the pow-
erful Advantech software, only a few steps are required to search and configure the
ADAM-2000 series.
Note! 1. When Device adopts batteries for main power source, long network
disconnection or association fail which will cause device into net-
work reassociation mechanism then sharply reduce battery life.
2. For the choice of battery, we suggest Energizer L91 Ultimate Lith-
ium AA battery.
