ADAM-4100 Module with LED Display
ADAM-4100 series own a series of LED display on the face. They let
you monitor the status and also allow reading the address of
ADAM-
4100. Actually, they have original two operating mode (Initial mode and
Normal mode). They also own a new mode “address mode”. It is
friendly interface to read the modular address directly
through these LEDs.
Firmware online update
ADAM-4100 series have a friendly and convenient design for user to
update firmware online. It can save a lot of time and money to update
firmware procedure.
Dual Watchdog Timer Inside
A watchdog timer supervisory function will automatically reset the
ADAM-4100 series modules if required, which reduces the need for
maintenance. It includes the system and communication watchdog.
Dual Communication Protocol Support
To satisfy both current ADAM users and Modbus users, these ADAM-
4100 Modules support both the ADAM protocol and Modbus/RTU
protocol. You can select the communication mode you want through the
Windows Utility Software. If users apply the ADAM protocol, the
ASCII command/response will remain the same as usual. In RTU mode,
data is sent as two four-bit, hexadecimal characters, providing for higher
throughput than in ASCII mode for the same baud rate. The ADAM-
4100 Series is a complete I/O solution, featuring Modbus Network
Support, with a robust and intelligent design. It is the easiest to use, and
a cost-effective choice for your system I/O needs.
RS-485
The ADAM-4100 series of modules use the EIA RS-485 communication
protocol, the industry’s most widely used bi-directional,
balanced transmission line standard. The EIA RS-485 was specifically
developed for industrial applications.
