ADAM-6100EI Series User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
ADAM-6100EI is a series of EtherNet/IP remote I/O modules. EtherNet/IP protocol is
very popular in industrial automation applications and all ADAM-6100EI series mod-
ules can comply with it. You can easily connect ADAM-6100EI modules to EtherNet/
IP masters, like Allen-Bradley PLC, through EtherNet/IP protocol. ADAM-6100EI
series module supports Initial mode and Normal mode (EtherNet/IP mode), that
you can set by the DIP switch on the side of ADAM module. Refer to Section 1.3.3 for
how to configure it. When you configure the mode as Initial mode, you can configure
ADAM-6100EI module's IP address and related setting by Advantech APAX/
ADAM.Net utility. When you configure the mode as Normal mode, ADAM-6100EI
modules are ready to communicate with EtherNet/IP master by EtherNet/IP protocol.
1.2 System Architecture
ADAM-6100EI series modules can be daisy-chained in an Ethernet network, making
it easier to deploy, and helping improve scalability. You can refer to the figure below
to see how a daisy-chain connection works in the network.

1.3 Features
1.3.1 Daisy Chain Connection
ADAM-6100EI module has built in Ethernet switches to allow daisy chain connections in an
Ethernet network, making it easier to deploy, and helping improve scalability. The two Ether-
net ports are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100Mbpst through standard RJ-45
connectors.

1.3.2 2,500V Isolation Protection
With triple isolation, including power supply, input/output, and Ethernet communica-
tion, ADAM-6100EI series ensures I/O data to be controlled correctly, and prevents
devices from breaking down.
1.3.3 Ethernet-based Configuration Tool
You can configure ADAM-6100EI module as Initial mode or Normal mode by the DIP
switch in the side of each module. When ADAM-6100EI module is set as Initial mode,
you can use ADAM.Net utility to configure and test the module via Ethernet connec-
tion between PC and the module. This can ensure the ADAM-6100EI module is set
properly and is working correctly before connecting it to an EtherNet/IP network.
When ADAM-6100EI module is set as Normal mode, it can directly communicate with
EtherNet/IP master device such as Allen-Bradley PLC by EtherNet/IP protocol.

Chapter 1 Overview
1.3.4 Status LED Indicator
There are 3 LED indicators on the front of the ADAM-6100 module-Status/COM, Link/
Speed 1, and Link/Speed 2. The Status/COM LED indicates the status of the module.
The Link/Speed LEDs indicate the network connections of Ethernet port 1 and port 2.
After power on, if the module is not connected to any network, the Status LED and
the COM LED will keep ON. Once the module is connected, the Status LED and
COM LED will work according to the table below.
Status of the module*
Mode Status LED (Green) COM LED (Orange)
Init mode (Initial mode) ON/OFF flash ON during communication
Normal mode (EtherNet/IP mode) Keep ON ON during Communication
Module Error Keep OFF ON/OFF flash

Mode Link LED (Green) Speed LED (Orange)
Port 1 connected Link 1 will keep ON Speed 1 ON when network
speed is 100M
Port 2 connected Link 2 will keep ON Speed 2 ON when network
