6.3.3 Module Tree Display Area
Figure 6.3 Adam/Apax .NET Utility Module Display Area
The Module Tree Display Area is the left part of the main window. There are five
major categories in the display area, some of which will be visible only when you
have certain modules connected:
6.3.4 Status Display Area
The Status Display Area is the main window that you will interact with. All configura-
tion and testing is performed here. The content of this window will vary depending on
which items you select in the Module Tree Display Area.
6.3.5 Configuration of ADAM-6000 Modules
Once an ADAM-6000 module has been connected to the host PC and you have
searched for it, you will find it listed in the Module Tree Display Area under the Ether-
net category. Select the Ethernet category on the Module Tree Display Area and click
the Search Modules icon on the Toolbar. Adam/Apax .NET Utility will then
search for all ADAM-6000 modules on the Ethernet network. If this is the first time
you have connected the module, its IP will be 10.0.0.1 by default and it will appear
under Others in the Module Tree Display Area.
Serial
All serial I/O modules (ADAM-4000, ADAM-4100, and ADAM-5000
RS-485 modules) connected to the host PC will be listed in this cat-
egory.
Ethernet
All Ethernet I/O Modules (ADAM-5000, ADAM-6000, and ADAM-
6100 TCP modules) connected to the host PC will be listed in this
category.
Favorite Group
Devices you have added to your personal favorite group are listed
under this category, making it easier for you to locate specific mod-
ules. The favorite group can contain multiple groups. To create a
new group, right-click on Favorite Group and select Add New
Group. You will then be prompted to enter a name for the group. To
add devices to that group, right-click on the group you have cre-
ated and select Add New Device. You will then be prompted to
give the new device a name and select the module type from either
the Serial Device tab or the Ethernet Device tab. You can also
enter the device parameters here. In addition to modifying the
group (select Modify Group) and deleting the group (select Delete
Group), you can also select diagnose the connection for a group
(select Diagnose Connection) by right-clicking on the group
name.
