RS-485 I/O Modules Overview
I/O Module Features
Remotely Programmable Input Ranges
The ADAM-4000 series modules stand out because of
their ability to accommodate multiple types and ranges
of analog input. The type and range can be remotely
selected by issuing commands from a host computer.
One type of module satisfies many different tasks, which
greatly simplifies design and maintenance. A single kind
of module can handle the measurement needs of a whole
plant. Since all modules are remotely configured by the
host computer, physical adjustments are unnecessary.
Easy Plug-in System Integration
With ADAM-4000's Modbus I/O, and built-in Modbus/RTU
protocol, any controller using the Modbus/RTU standard
can be integrated as part of an ADAM-4000 control system.
Any Modbus Ethernet data gateway can upgrade these
I/O Modules up to the Modbus/TCP Ethernet layer. Most
HMI software is bundled with a Modbus driver, and can
access the ADAM-4000 I/O directly. Moreover, Advantech
provides Modbus OPC Server and Modbus/TCP OPC
Server as data exchange interfaces between the ADAM-
4000 Modbus I/O and any Windows Applications.
Communication Module
Features
Ethernet
ADAM-4570 and ADAM-4571 are designed for the
connection between serial devices (RS-232/422/485)
and Ethernet. With ADAM-4570 or ADAM-4571, you can
use graphical control software to monitor and control
I/O modules. With existing devices, you can connect to
an Ethernet network with the benefits of enhanced host
performance and convenience. (Please refer to Chapter
17 for more detail)
Fiber Optics
If users need to transmit over long distances without
noise interference, ADAM-4541 and ADAM-4542+ are
designed for this task. The ADAM-4541 is a multi-mode
converter, which carries signals from fiber optics to RS-
232/422/485. It offers a transmission distance of up to
2500 m with a total immunity to electromagnetic noise.
The ADAM-4542+ is a single-mode converter, which
carries signals from fiber to optics to RS-232/422/485.
It offers a transmission distance of up to 15 km with total
immunity to electromagnetic noise. (Please refer to Page
4-15 for more detail)
USB Communications
ADAM-4561/4562 is an one-port isolated USB to RS-
232/422/485 converter. ADAM-4561 can convert USB to
RS-232/422/485 with plug-in terminal. The major features
of ADAM-4562 are the capability to use 9-wire RS-232,
and to get power from the USB port. With 9-wire RS-232
capability, this converter meets the requirements of PLCs,
modems, and controller equipment. As a USB-to-serial
converter, ADAM-4562 supports Plug & Play, and hot-
swapping, which simplifies the configuration process,
and it also acts as a power supply for the module. It is no
longer necessary to have an external power supply. (Please
