Advantech offers a wide selection of
cost-effective Ethernet and Serial Data Acquisition Modules. Based on a
common network technologies and protocols, ADAM is a perfect solution for highly
distributed data acquisition applications.
About Advantech's I/O Data Acquisition Modules
Advantech's ADAM series distributed data acquisition
modules are compact, versatile sensor-to-computer interface units designed
specifically for reliable operation in harsh environments. Their built-in
microprocessors, encased in rugged industrial grade plastic, independently
provide intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O, digital I/O, data display
and serial/Ethernet/fieldbus communication.
Remotely Programmable Input Ranges
The ADAM series distributed data acquisition
modules stand out because of their ability to accommodate multiple
types and ranges of 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 the
modules are remotely configured by the host computer, physical adjustments are
unnecessary.
Watchdog Timer Inside
A watchdog timer supervisory function will
automatically reset the ADAM series distributed data acquisition modules if
required, which reduces the need for maintenance.
Modular Industrial Design
The ADAM series distributed data acquisition modules
offer flexible mounting options, including DIN rail mounting, panel mounting or
piggybacking. Signal connections are made through plug-in screw-terminal blocks,
ensuring simple installation, modification and maintenance.
Ready for the Industrial Environment
The ADAM series distributed data acquisition modules accept any
unregulated power source between +10 and +30 VDC . They are protected from
accidental power supply reversals and can be safely connected or disconnected
without disturbing a running network.
NEW: Portable Data Acquisition Modules
In addition to the popular ADAM sereies data acquisition
modules, Advantech also now overs the USB-4700 series, a line of portable data
acquisition products.
