Understanding Your System 
1-2-4 Communicating Isolation 
High-speed transient suppressors isolate ADAM-5000/TCP Series Ethernet 
port from dangerous voltage up to 1500V
DC
power spikes and avoid 
surge damage to whole system. 
1-2-5     Completed set of I/O modules for 
total solutions 
The ADAM-5000/TCP Series uses a convenient backplane system 
common to the ADAM-5000 series. Advantech’s complete line of 
ADAM-5000 mod- ules integrates with the ADAM-5000/TCP Series to 
support your applications 
(not include ADAM-5090). Full ranges of digital module supports 10 to 
30 V
DC
input and outputs. A set of analog modules provide 16-bit 
resolution and programmable input and output (including bipolar) signal 
ranges. For details, refer to Chapter 
4 I/O Modules. 
1-2-6     Built-in real-time OS and watchdog timer The 
microprocessor also includes a real-time OS and watchdog timer. The 
real-time OS is available to handle several tasks at the same time. The 
watchdog timer is designed to automatically reset the microprocessor if 
the system fails. This feature greatly reduces the level of maintenance 
required and makes the ADAM-5000/TCP Series ideal for use in 
applications which require a high level of system performance and 
stability. 
1-2-7 Software Support 
Based on the Modbus standard, the ADAM-5000/TCP 
Ser iesfirmware is a built-in Modbus/TCP server. Therefore, 
Advantech provides the neces- sary DLL drivers, OCX component OPC 
Server, and Windows Utility for users for client data for the ADAM-
5000/TCP Series. Users can configure this DA&C system via Windows 
Utility; integrate with HMI software pack- age via Modbus/TCP driver 
or Modbus/TCP OPC Server. Even more, you can use the DLL driver 
or OCX component to develop your own applications.
