ADAM-5000 Series
Open Network and
Fieldbus Solutions for
Device Networking
Introduction
The Fieldbus concept will change the control environment
and device characteristics of future control systems in both
processing and manufacturing. Compared with traditional
systems, the Fieldbus system reduces cost of cabling,
commissioning, and installation. In addition, the Fieldbus
system has greater reliability.
The ADAM-5000 series, a compact distributed data
acquisition and control system, supports the shift
toward Fieldbus-based systems. Based on popular
Fieldbus data communication structures such as RS-485
and Modbus, the ADAM-5000 series now offers two
different DA&C systems that allow field I/O devices to
easily connect to PC network applications: the ADAM-
5000 DA&C systems and the ADAM-5510 series of
PC-based programmable stand-alone controllers.
ADAM-5000 Series -
Distributed I/O System
Ethernet-based Data Acquisition and
Control System
With the ADAM-5000/TCP as your Ethernet I/O data
processing center, you can monitor and control field
signals at a speed of 10/100 Mbps. The best field-proven
communication performance that can be reached in
industrial network environments. Additionally, the popular
Modbus/TCP protocol is supported as well.
RS-485 based Data Acquisition and
Control System
The ADAM-5000/485 system is a data acquisition and
control system that can acquire, monitor and control data
through multi-channel I/O modules. It communicates with
a network master over a twisted-pair, multi-drop RS-485
network. Both ADAM ASCII and Modbus/RTU protocols
are supported.

Controller
The ADAM-5510 series of PC-based programmable
controllers includes ADAM-5510M, ADAM-5510E,
ADAM-5510/TCP and ADAM-5510E/TCP. They feature
Intel x86-based CPUs running Datalight ROM-DOS.
Users can use Borland C 3.0 to develop the application
program and then download it by Windows-based
ADAM-5510 series utility. The Ethernet-enabled feature of
ADAM-5510/TCP and ADAM-5510E/TCP enables features
like:FTP server, web server, TCP/UDP connections and
email alarm. The ADAM-5510 controllers also have high
expansion capability by supporting Modbus/RTU master/
slave and Modbus/TCP client/server functions.
