Advantech's ADAM-4000 Remote I/O Solution Enables Modbus System Integration

The Modbus protocol has become a de facto standard for data
exchange and information communication in industrial network applications targeting facility automation markets. In view of integrating with SCADA/PLC/DCS systems as a complete remote I/O solution, Advantech is introducing the ADAM-4000 Modbus series, consisting of ADAM-4017+ analog input, ADAM-4018+ T/C input, ADAM-4015 RTD input, ADAM-4024 analog output, ADAM-4051/ADAM-4055 digital input/output, and ADAM-4068 relay output modules.

The total Modbus I/O series supports Modbus/RTU protocol as the remote data transmission mechanism, providing easy-integration to any controller bearing Modbus/RTU standard. In addition to Modbus network support, these ADAM-4000 modules also feature a robust and intelligent design of system diagnostic function and safety setting capability, offering users an easy-to-use, cost-effective remote monitoring and control system.

With built-in Modbus/RTU protocol, the ADAM-4000 Modbus I/O is endowed with easy plug-in system integration capabilities. Aside from effortless integration with controllers carrying Modbus/RTU standard, ADAM-4572 can upgrade the ADAM-4000 I/O modules to the Modbus/TCP Ethernet layer. Moreover, most HMI software is bundled with Modbus driver and can access the ADAM-4000 I/O directly.

Different from other ADAM I/O modules, the ADAM-4000 Modbus I/O proves itself more robust and reliable by providing multi-type signal input and diverse signal range settings. It offers users a self-diagnostic design with burned-out detection function when problems with wire openings occur. These functionalities enable system reliability in environment monitoring, power SCADA monitoring, and factory automation markets.

The ADAM-4000 is the best remote I/O selection for any Modbus system integration, bringing users the benefits of centralized monitoring and control, easy maintenance and troubleshooting, efficient data collection and archiving, as well as simplified reporting and analysis to reduce cost and help them meet their objectives of return-on-investment.
