ADAM-6000 and ADAM-6200 Series Intelligent Ethernet I/O Modules
Intelligent System 3 2 IndustrialServer 1 Software and Industry Solutions
IT and network infrastructure have become established technologies. In the future, there are will be many potentially key elements such as artificial intelligence, energy-efficiency, cloud computing, cyber-security, and mobile communication technologies being progressively leveraged in automation markets. We believe that these will also contribute to ideal remote data acquisition devices in IoT world. To fulfill the transition requirements and future applications, Advantech has developed the ADAM-6000/6200 series of Ethernet I/O modules, comprising analog I/O, digital I/O, and relay modules. ADAM-6000/6200 series modules possess a multitude of advanced features that can cope with changes in hardware design and user expectations regarding useful software functions for applications in the field. With a new design and strong capabilities, ADAM-6000/6200 series modules can provide a well-integrated I/O solution for Ethernet control systems. Transition and Vision for Remote DAQ Devices

Flexible Deployment with Daisy Chain Networking and Auto-Bypass Protection
ADAM-6200 modules have built-in Ethernet switches to allow daisy chain connections in an Ethernet network, making it easier to deploy, saving on wiring costs, and helping to improve scalability. The two Ethernet ports are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100 Mbps via standard RJ-45 connectors. Although the daisy chain topology brings cost-saving benefits for users, it still comes with the risk that once any device in the chain suffers a power outage, it will cause the disconnection of all devices data stream. Auto-Bypass Protection To prevent this critical issue from happening, Advantech has refined the hardware design of ADAM-6200 modules so that they can rapidly recover the network connection within approximately 2.5 s, thereby greatly minimizing any potential damage. At the early stage of automation, it was difficult to access or obtain online equipment data when conducting on-site inspections. Mostly, the only possible way to do this was by communicating with engineers on the factory floor or in a central control room where the SCADA program was running. With these factors considered, on-site inspections and debugging were invariably arduous tasks that took considerable effort to complete. Overcoming this, the ADAM-6200 series of modules integrates HTML5, allowing users to remotely monitor the status of all online modules without bridging a SCADA system. These modules also allow users to perform basic I/O configuration on any built-in HMI device such as a smartphone or digital pad via the Internet. Moreover, users can further develop extended applications based on the default HTML5 file embedded in the module. With its enhanced syntax structure and integration of rich web technologies such as CSS and JavaScript, the now widely used markup language HTML5 has enhanced the design of web content. This is particularly beneficial for ADAMmodule users because it allows them to implement more web services and APIs and to develop more interactive applications for configuring and monitoring their hardware.
