1.1 Introduction
ADAM-2000 series is the wireless solution of the ADAM families and integrates the
IEEE 802.15.4 standard, I/O and Sensor technologies known as Wireless Sensor
Network. Different from the wired solution, the flexible network capability makes it
easy to extend or construct a cost-effective distributed monitoring system for variety
of applications. Through popular industrial Modbus protocol, the ADAM-2000 can be
integrated into any HMI and SCADA system. The low-power consumption design
also makes it possible for standalone applications with batteries. The sensor embed-
ded design provides compact size for specified application. With the ADAM-4000 and
ADAM-6000, the ADAM provides the total solutions of remote I/O. Please refer to
Figure 1-1 for a brief overview of the ADAM-2000 system architecture..

1.1.1 IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Standard
IEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless standard defined as Low Rate Wireless Personal Area
Network (LR-WPAN) or usually called Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
instead. It is designed for low-power consumption and robust wireless communica-
tion, especially for small data packet applications, such as sensor, I/O and etc. IEEE
802.15.4 is a low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, wireless networking
protocol targeted towards automation and remote control applications. It is expected
to provide low cost and low power connectivity for equipment that needs battery life
as long as several months to several years but does not require data transfer rates
as high as those enabled by Bluetooth. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard only defines the
