Remote I/O Modules

Advantech is a global leader in data acquisition I/O module design and manufacturing, offering complete stand-alone data acquisition modules which are broadly used in industrial applications, such as facility monitoring, environment monitoring, and industrial process control. Advantech distributed I/O modules are categorized into two families, Ethernet I/O (ADAM-6000 series) and RS-485 I/O (ADAM-4000 series), which are subdivided into Analog I/O and Digital I/O modules with some of them supporting modbus communication protocol.

Product Catagories
	RS-485 I/O Modules: ADAM-4000 ADAM-4000 modules are the perfect choice for establishing a cost-effective remote I/O system. Customers can benefit from ADAM-4000 modules through its simple wiring --- using only two wires to communicate with their controller or other RS-485 devices. ADAM-4000 modules use the EIA RS-485 communication protocol; the industry's most widely used bi-directional, balanced transmission line suitable for industrial environments.
	Ethernet I/O Modules: ADAM-6000 In the past, integrating automation and enterprise systems required changing the entire architecture of the control system. Nowadays, Advantech ADAM-6000 accomplishes this integration easily through the latest internet technology, so that it can remotely monitor the device status more flexibly. Advantech's ADAM-6000 modules are empowered by Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Graphic Condition Logic (GCL), and can perform as standalone products for measurement, control and automation. With Advantech's P2P and GCL technology, no additional controllers or programming is needed. With the easy-to-use and intuitive graphic utility, system configurations can be done in an extremely short time. The members of ADAM-6000 series include Communication Controllers, Analog Input/Output Modules and Digital Input/Output Modules.
	Wireless I/O Modules: ADAM-2000 Integrated with wireless functionality, power management, and I/O technologies, the ADAM-2000 series are revolutionary products for data acquisition. Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless standard, networks can be easily deployed and extended. Moreover, low rates and low duty cycles make it possible for them to act as standalone devices, providing cost-effective distributed I/O solutions. With the popular industrial communication protocol Modbus RTU, ADAM-2000 series products can be adapted into any SCADA or industrial system with Advantech products, such as IPCs, ADAM, EKI, or WebAccess.
