Modbus is the most popular industrial network in the world, yet solu-
tions for integration with the Ethernet are limited. Even connecting via
Com Port, it also increases loading of PC and frequently leads to low
performance. The ADAM-4572 provides a perfect solution to integrate
Modbus into Ethernet to serve as a high-performance and cost-effective
network.
In various industry domains, such as Water Treatment, Power Genera-
tion, Automotive, Semiconductor, Building Automation, Telecom Sys-
tem, and so on. Thousands of system projects can be completed with
ease for many specific applications.
For example, in the application for water treatment site, the field equip-
ments came to be distributed in such a vast area, which aggravates the
difficulty to monitor and control the status of each DA&C equipment.
Most of these industrial equipments are connected to Modbus network,
including the ADAM-5511, ADAM-5000/MOD, and third-party control-
lers. The ADAM-4572 works as a communication bridge between Mod-
bus and Ethernet, integrating field instruments with Human Machine
Interface as a complete SCADA. Plug-and-Play function makes this
