Advantech ADAM-6050W User manual

ADAM-6050W 18-channel Digital I/O Module
The ADAM-6050W is a high-density I/O module built-in a IEEE802.11b wireless LAN interface for seamless Ethernet
connectivity. It provides 12 digital input and 6 digital output channels with 5000VRMS Isolating protection. All of the
Digital Input channels support input latch function for important signal handling. Mean while, these DI channels allows
to be used as 1 KHz counter. Opposite to the intelligent DI functions, the Digital Output channels also support pulse
output function.

System Architecture

ADAM-6050W Configuration
Network Configuration
Step 1 : Please open theADAM-5000TCP-6000 utility software. The utility software will automatically
scan the ADAM-6000 modules. Please wait for the ADAM-6050W being found by utility software.
Step 2 : Please go the “Network” page to change the IP address/Subnet Address/Default Gateway of
ADAM-6050W module to be compatible with user’s existing network and set the host idle time out value
(the ADAM-6000 module can only accept 8 connection from host station. Any host station doesn’t request
the communication with thisADAM-6000 module over the time out setting, the connection of this host
station will be released for the other stations).
press “Apply” to download the new IP address to ADAM-6050W module (the default password for the
changing configuration is “00000000”).

Step 3 : Re-configuring the IP address of the configuration PC to be the original setting (compatible with
user’s existing network) then re-start the utility software. The software will automatically search the
ADAM-6050W module again.
Step 4 : Go to the “Wireless” page to set the wireless LAN configuration.
Please set the wireless LAN mode to be “Infrastructure” or “Adhoc” based on exact system architecture.

Please assign the SSID for the specific wirelessAP to be connected with ADAM-6000W modules. User
can place “ANY” key to let theADAM-6000W modules to automatically search the existing wireless AP. Or
key in the specific SSID to assign the dedicated AP (strongly recommending to set up the dedicated SSID,
it can guarantee the communication ofADAM-6000W modules to be stable)
For assigning the dedicated wireless LAN AP, user can use the site survey function to check the existing
AP in connection environment. Please go to the “Site Survey” page.
Press “Scan” bottom to search the existing AP.

Selecting the AP in the searching result table.
Press “Apply” bottom to accept the AP to finish the set up action.

Please select the region for your area.
Setting the used channel, the channel number must be included in the channel segment of your region.
Please select the basic rate for the communication bandwidth.

Press the “Apply” bottom to finish the set up work.
Step 5 : Configure the WEP security setting. Please go to the WEP page in “Wireless” of utility software.
If user want to use the WEP security function, please enable the WEP function in “User WEP” then select
the Key format and key in the WEP key for this requirement.

Step 6 : Data Stream Configuration
In addition to TCP/IP communication protocol, ADAM-6000 supports UDP communication protocol to
regularly broadcast data to specific host PCs.
Click the tab of Data Stream, then configure the broadcasting interval and the specific IP addresses which
need to receive data from the specific ADAM-6000 I/O module. This UDP Data Stream function
broadcasts up to 8 host PCs simultaneously, and the interval is user-defined from 50ms to 7 Days.

Data Stream Monitoring
After finishing the configuration of Data Stream, you can select the item “Monitor Data Stream” in the
function bar or click icon to call up operation display as below Figure.
Select the IP address of the ADAM-6000 you want to read data, then click “Start ” button. The Utility
software will begin to receive the stream data on this operation display.

Firmware/Web Page Configuration
Step 1 : Please go to the “Firmware/Web” configuration page
Step 2 : TheADAM-6000W modules support the configurable web page feature. Users don’t have to
learn the Java language to write the Java program to make the customized web page. Users can use the
utility software to easily configure the web page that you want. Please follow the below instruction to
configure the web page inside ADAM-6000W modules.
Press the web page configuration bottom.

Key in the Tag Name of input channel.
Key in the description of input channel
Press the label bottom to configure the label description of input channel.

Key in the Tag Name of output channel
Key in the description of output channel

Press the label bottom to configure the label description of output channel
Click the title position to configure the page title description

Please press “OK” after finishing all of the web page configuration.
Press “Update” bottom to download the web page configuration into ADAM-6000W module. And system
will save the configuration data as a file in C:\Programs\ADAM-5000TCP-6000
Utility\Program\Firmware\ADAM-6050W\ADAM6050W.Html

User can also retrieve the previous web page configuration file to download toADAM-6000W Module.

Select the stored web page configuration file then press “Open”
Follow the above action to download the selected file into ADAM-6000W module.
