Installation Guideline 2.2 Module Installation When inserting modules into the system, align the PC board of the module with the grooves on the top and bottom of the system. Push the module straight into the system until it is firmly seated in the backplane connector. Once the module is inserted into the system, push in the retaining clips (located at the top and bottom of the module) to firmly secure the module to the system. Figure 2-3 Module alignment and installation 2.
PAGE 25
Chapter 2 2.4 Mounting The ADAM-5000 system can be installed on a panel or DIN rail. Panel Mounting Mount the system on the panel horizontally to provide proper ventilation. You cannot mount the system vertically, upside down or on a flat horizontal surface. A standard #7 tating screw (4mm diameter) should be used.
PAGE 26
Installation Guideline DIN Rail Mounting The system can also be secured to the cabinet by using mounting rails. If you mount the system on a rail, you should also consider using end brackets on each end of the rail. The end brackets help keep the system from sliding horizontally along the rail. This helps minimize the possibility of accidentally pulling the wiring loose. If you examine the bottom of the system, you will notice two small retaining clips.

I/O Modules 4.5 Analog I/O Modules Calibration Analog input/output modules are calibrated when you receive them. However, calibration is sometimes required. No screwdriver is necessary because calibration is done in software with calibration parameters stored in the ADAM-5000 analog I/O module's onboard EEPROM. The ADAM-5510/P31 system comes with the ADAM utility software that supports calibration of analog input and analog output.

Chapter 4 Analog output module calibration The output current of analog output modules can be calibrated by using a low calibration value and a high calibration value. The analog output modules can be configured for one of two ranges: 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA. Since the low limit of the 0-20 mA range (0 mA) is internally an absolute reference (no power or immeasurably small power), just two levels are needed for calibration: 4 mA and 20 mA. 1.
PAGE 64
I/O Modules value of 4 mA. 5. Check the actual output value at the modules terminals. If this does not equal 4 mA, use the "Trim" option in the "Calibrate"submenu to change the actual output. Trim the module until the mA meter indicates exactly 4 mA, or in the case of the voltmeter with shunt resistor, trim until the meter indicates exactly 1 V. (When calibrating for 20 mA using a voltmeter and shunt resistor, the correct voltage should be 5 V.) 6.

The table below gives a quick reference of potential problems associated with each status indicator.
PAGE 288
Troubleshooting 1. External power to the system is incorrect or is not applied. 2. Power supply is faulty. 3. Other component(s) have the power supply shut down. Incorrect External Power If the voltage to the power supply is not correct, the system may not operate properly or may not operate at all. Use the following guidelines to correct the problem. 1. First, turn off the system power and check all incoming wiring for loose connections. 2.
PAGE 289
Chapter 7 If the power supply operates normally, you probably have either a shorted device or a shorted cable. If the power supply does not operate normally, then test for a module causing the problem by using the following procedure. To isolate which module is causing the problem, disconnect the external power and remove one module at one time till the PWR LED operates normally. Follow the procedure below: 1. Turn off power to the base. 2. Remove a module from the base. 3. Reapply power to the base.
PAGE 290
Troubleshooting 7.5 I/O Module Troubleshooting There is a LED to indicate the connection between the base and an I/O module in any ADAM-5000 system. The LED is on when the connection is good. If you suspect an I/O error, there are several things that could be causing the problem. • A loose terminal block • The power supply has failed • The module has failed Some Quick Steps When troubleshooting the ADAM-5000 series digital I/O modules, there are a few facts you should be aware of.

A quick hookup scheme is provided that lets you configure a single system before you install a network system. Be sure to carefully plan the layout and configuration of your network before you start. Guidelines regarding layout are given in Appendix B: RS-485 Network. A.

Appendix A Host Computer Any computer or terminal that can output in ASCII format over either RS-232 or RS-485 can be connected as the host computer. When only RS-232 is available, an ADAM RS-232/RS-485 Converter is required to transform the host signals to the correct RS-485 protocol. The converter also provides opto-isolation and transformer -based isolation to protect your equipment.

C RS-485 Network
PAGE 314
RS-485 Network EIA RS-485 is the industry’s most widely used bidirectional, balanced transmission line standard. It is specifically developed for industrial multi-drop systems that should be able to transmit and receive data at high rates or over long distances.
PAGE 315
Appendix C C.1 Basic Network Layout Multi-drop RS-485 implies that there are two main wires in a segment. The connected systems tap from these two lines with so called drop cables. Thus all connections are parallel and connecting or disconnecting of a node doesn’t affect the network as a whole. Since ADAM-5000 systems use the RS-485 standard and an ASCII-based commands set, they can connect and communicate with all ASCIIbased computers and terminals.
PAGE 316
RS-485 Network Star Layout In this scheme the repeaters are connected to drop-down cables from the main wires of the first segment. A tree structure is the result. This scheme is not recommended when using long lines since it will cause a serious amount of signal distortion due to signal reflections in several line-endings.

Appendix C Random This is a combination of daisychain and hierarchical structure.

Line Termination Each discontinuity in impedance causes reflections and distortion.
PAGE 319
Appendix C Figure C-5 Signal distortion The value of the resistor should be a close as possible to the characteristic impedance of the line. Although receiver devices add some resistance to the whole of the transmission line, normally it is sufficient to the resistor impedance should equal the characteristic impedance of the line.
PAGE 320
RS-485 Network Figure C-6 Termination resistor locations Because each input is biased to 2.4 V, the nominal common mode voltage of balanced RS-485 systems, the 18 kΩ on the input can be taken as being in series across the input of each individual receiver. If thirty of these receivers are put closely together at the end of the transmission line, they will tend to react as thirty 36kΩ resistors in parallel with the termination resistor.
PAGE 321
Appendix C The star connection causes a multitude of these discontinuities since there are several transmission lines and is therefore not recommend. Note: C.3 The recommend method wiring method, that causes a minimum amount of reflection, is daisy chaining where all receivers tapped from one transmission line needs only to be terminated twice. RS-485 Data Flow Control The RS-485 standard uses a single pair of wires to send and receive data.

PAGE 324
How to Use the Checksum Feature A checksum helps you to detect errors in commands from the host to the modules, and in responses from the modules to the host. The feature adds two extra checksum characters to the command or response string, which does reduce the throughput. D.1 Checksum Enable/Disable To enable configuration of a module’s checksum feature, its INIT* terminal should be shorted to its GND terminal, after which the module should be rebooted.

(If the Checksum feature is disabled) Command: $07S1RH(cr) Response: !07+2.0500(cr) when the command is valid. Case 2. (If the Checksum feature is enabled) Command: $07S1RHA9(cr) Response: !07+2.0500D8(cr) where: A9 represents the checksum of this command, andD8 represents the checksum of the response.

Appendix F Besides, following tips just for your reference. • The shield of cable can’t be used for signal ground. The shield is just designed for adhering noise, so the environment noise will couple and interfere your system when you use the shield as signal ground. • The density of shield is the higher the better, especially for communication network. • Use double isolated cable for communication network / AI / AO. • Both sides of shields should be connected to their frame while inside the device.

So as electronic circuit, all signals use the easiest way. If we connected those two cables just with few wires, it is a difficult way for signal. So the noise will try to find out another path for easier way for flow.

Grounding Reference • Shield connection (2) Above diagram shows you that the fill soldering just makes a easier way for the signal. F.3 Noise Reduction Techniques • Enclose noise sources in shield enclosures. • Place sensitive equipment in shielded enclosure and away from computer equipment. • Use separate grounds between noise sources and signals. • Keep ground/signal leads as short as possible. • Use Twisted and Shielded signal leads.
