Simple configuration, easy programming and supported by major DA & C packages - these are just a few reasons to use Advantech's ADAM 4000 modules.

The analog input module's two digital output channels are open-collector transistor switches that you can control from the host computer. By switching solid state relay the output channels can control heaters, pumps and other power equipment. The module can use its one digital input channel to sense the state of a remote digital signal

Analog input modules include high and low alarm signaling with remotely configurable limit values. After every A/D conversion, the digital value is compared with the high and low limit. The module can change the state of a digital output depending on the result of this comparison. This lets it perform On/Off control of a device independent of the host PC.

The on-board event counter can count up to 65,535 transitions occurring on the digital input. The counter can be read and cleared by the host computer. the counter can be used in production line applications to keep a record of repetitive operations.

The ADAM-4050 features seven digital input channels and eight digital output channels. The outputs are open-collector transistor switches that you can control from the host computer. You can also use the switches to control solid-state relays, which in turn can control heaters, pumps or other power equipment. The host computer can use the module's digital inputs to determine the state of limit or safety switches or remote digital signals.

Easy-to-use menu-driven utility software make configuration and calibration a snap. Its terminal emulation program lets you easily read from and write to ADAM modules. Writing application programs with this software (GENIE 2.0) is simple, you can learn the basics in just a few minutes.
