2.3 Selecting an Operator Interface
To complete your Data Acquisition and Control system, selecting the
operator interface is necessary. Adopting the Modbus/TCP Protocol,
ADAM-6000 I/O modules exhibit high ability in system integration for
various applications.
You can read the real-time status of ADAM-6000 modules through the
web page from the following browser.
•Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 9 or later)
•Google Chrome (version 30 or later)
•Safari (version 6 or later)
•Firefox (version 25 or later)
If you want to integrate ADAM-6000 I/O with HMI (Human Machine
Interface) software in a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisi-
tion) system, there are a lot of HMI software packages, which support
Modbus/TCP driver.
• Advantech PM Designer
• Wonderware InTouch
• Any other software that supports the Modbus/TCP protocol
You can also purchase Advantech OPC Server, the easiest-to-use data
exchange tool in the world. Any HMI software designed with OPC Client
is able to access ADAM-6000 I/O modules.
• Modbus/TCP OPC Server
If you want to develop your own applications, the ADAM.NET Class
Library will be the best tool to build up users operator interface.
With these ready-to-go application software packages, tasks such as
remote data acquisition, process control, historical trending and data
analysis require only a few keystrokes.
