ADAM-4550 User's Manual
2. Installation
2.1 Basic Configuration
Before installing the ADAM-4550 in an existing
network, the ADAM-4550 unit should be pre-
configured. Though all modules are initially pre-
configured at the factory, it is recommended
that you check the baud rate settings.
Factory Default Settings:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps (both RS-232 and RS-485)
Delimiter: {
Parity: none
Address: 00
DTE/DCE:auto
RF channel: 3
2.2 Power Supply
For ease of use in industrial environments,
ADAM modules are designed to accept indus-
try st24 V
DC
unregulated power. Mod-
ules are certified for operation with any power
supply source b10 and +30 V
DC
. Pow-
er ripples must be limited to 5 V peak to peak,
while voltage must in all cases remain between
+10 and +30 V
DC
. All power supply specifica-
tions are referenced at the module connector.
Power cables should be selected according to
the number of modules connected and the length
of the power lines. When using a network with
long cables, we advise the use of thicker wire
to limit the line voltage drop. In addition to seri-
ous voltage drops, long voltage lines can also
cause interference with communication wires.
We advise that the following standard colors
(as indicated on the modules) be used for pow-
er lines:
+Vs
ð
(R) Red
GND
ð
(B) Black
