Chapter 6  Planning Your Application Program 
Note that the number of channels on the ADAM- 
5056 and ADAM-5060/5068/5069 differ. 
A 4-character hexadecimal value is used to set the 
channels, from 15 thru 0, of the ADAM-5056. A 2 
character hexadecimal value is used to set the chan- 
nels, from 5 thru 0, of the ADAM-5060. Bits 6 and 7 
always default to 0 in the ADAM-5060. A 2-charac- 
ter hexadecimal value  is used to set  the 
channels, from 7 thru 0, of the ADAM-
5055/5068/5069. 
Response >(cr) if the command was valid. 
?aa(cr) if an invalid command has been issued. 
There is no response if the module detects a syntax 
error or communication error or if the specified ad- 
dress does not exist. 
> delimiter character indicating a valid command was 
received. 
? delimiter character indicating the command was 
invalid. 
aa (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadeci- 
mal Modbus network address of an ADAM-5000/ 
TCP system that is responding. 
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh) 
Example  command: #15S11201(cr) 
response: >(cr) An output bit with value 1 is sent 
to channel 2 of a digital output module in slot 1 of 
the ADAM-5000/ TCP system at address 15h - 
either ADAM-5056 or 
ADAM-5050/5055/5060/5068/5069. Channel 2 of the 
digi- tal output module is set to ON. 
command: #01S1001234(cr) 
response: >(cr) An output byte with value 1234h 
(0001001000110100) is sent to the digital output 
module (ADAM-5056) in slot 1 of the 
ADAM-5000/TCP system at address 
6-144
ADAM-5000/TCP
