Product Introduction
ADAM-6100 Series EtherNet/IP and Profinet I/O Modules
Intelligent System 3 2 IndustrialServer 1 Software and Industry Solutions
Real-time distributed control systems are an important technology for reliable industrial Ethernet and automation applications. A number of techniques are employed to adopt the Ethernet protocol for industrial processes, which must provide reliable service to ensure stable operation. With modern protocols, automation systems from different manufacturers can be interconnected throughout a plant. Industrial Ethernet exploits the relatively larger marketplace for computer interconnections to reduce the cost and improve the performance of communications between industrial controllers.

Real-Time Systems A real-time system is one in which the correctness of a result depends not only on precise calculations but also on accurate timing. In computing, “real time” refers to a time frame that is very brief, to the point that it is virtually instantaneous. When a computer processes data in real time, it reads and handles data as it is received, producing results without any delay. A non-real-time computer process does not have a deadline. Such processes can be considered non-real-time—even if fast results are the preferred outcome. A real- time system, on the other hand, is expected to respond not just quickly, but also within a predictable period of time. In automation control systems, real-time technology provides multiple advantages, such as improved safety, quality, and efficiency. To build a real-time distributed control system, it is critical to establish reliable real-time communication among the controllers; accordingly, there is now increasing interest in the use of Ethernet protocols as the link-layer protocol, such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet PowerLink, SERCOS III.
EtherNet/IP EtherNet/IP was developed in the late 1990s by Rockwell Automation for use in process control and other industrial automation applications, ensuring multi-vendor system interoperability. EtherNet/IP is a lot like standard office Ethernet, using the same TCP/ IP messaging but with a new application layer added where data are arranged. This is known as object-orientated organization, which allows ordinary office Ethernet to become a markedly more versatile system. Today, EtherNet/IP is commonly used in industrial automation applications such as water processing, manufacturing, and utilities. Profinet PROFINET, the standard for industrial networking in automation, connects devices, systems, and cells to facilitate manufacturing that is faster, safer, less costly, and of higher quality. As it is fully compatible with office Ethernet, it can be easily integrated with existing systems and equipment while bringing enhanced features such as real-time performance and control as well as monitoring functions. Additionally, PROFINET features highly scalable architectures, remote access and maintenance of field devices over the network, and lower production/quality data monitoring costs.
Feature Highlights
Daisy Chain Connections ADAM-6100 modules have two built-in Ethernet switches to allow daisy chain connections in an Ethernet network, making it easier to deploy while improving scalability and resistance against interference commonly found in factory settings.
2,500 V DC
Isolation
Protection With triple isolation, including power supply, I/O, and Ethernet communication, ADAM-6100 series modules ensure that I/O data are controlled correctly while preventing devices from breaking down. Multiple Mounting Options Advantech provides various mounting methods to fit the varying needs of different projects in the field. ADAM- 6100 series modules support DIN rail mounting, wall mounting, and piggybacking.
Ethernet-Based Configuration Tool
Adam/Apax .NET Utility comes bundled with each ADAM-6100 module. With this utility, users can configure, set, and test ADAM-6100 modules via Ethernet.
