persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-
of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid
to your dealer.

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of
power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic
components.

1.1 Introduction
This manual will discuss the specifications, functions and application wiring of the
APAX-5000 series of I/O modules. Advantech provides different APAX-5000 I/O mod-
ules for various applications. The following table outlines Advantech's supported I/O
modules.

Chapter 1 Overview
1.2 I/O Wiring
APAX-5000 I/O modules leverage detachable clamp type terminal blocks. Comparing
with traditional screw type terminal blocks, clamp type terminal blocks can save up to
75% wiring time and provide better reliability for shock and vibration. Follow the pro-
cedures below for wiring your APAX-5000 I/O module.
1. Insert the screw driver into the left hole of the terminal.
2. Insert the wiring into the right hole of the terminal.
Note! Please use # 14 AWG ~ 28 AWG wire for terminal block.

APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual 4
1.3 Removing the I/O Terminal
APAX-5000 I/O modules provide detachable terminal blocks that are convenient
when wiring needs to be changed, because the terminal block can removed and the
module doesn't need to be. Refer to the figures below to remove the terminal block.
Warning! APAX-5000 I/O modules can be categorized into four categories: AI,
AO, DI and DO. If you insert a terminal block into a module which has a
different function, it might damage the modules (for example, inserting a
DO terminal block on DI module). In order to prevent this, APAX-5000
modules color the terminal block and label on the front side. Remember
to match the terminal block with the module as below.
Function Color
Analog Input Green
Analog Output Blue
Digital Input Yellow
Digital Output Red

Chapter 1 Overview
1.4 Labeling the Terminal
Advantech provides write-on labels for each APAX-5000 I/O module. This write-on
label has two sides, one with the model name, specifications and a wiring diagram,
while the other side allows users to write information in by themselves. Refer to the
figures below for the write-on label details.

APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual 6
1.5 Jumper Settings
Some I/O modules need to be configured manually through the onboard jumpers.
This section will show you how to adjust the jumper settings.
1. Pull out the write-on label and you can see the location of the jumper.
2. You can use the screw driver to adjust the jumper setting.
3. Once the jumper setting is done, slide the write-on label back to its position.

7 APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual
Chapter 1 Overview
1.6 ID Switch Setting
The controller identifies each APAX-5000 I/O module through the ID number. There-
fore, you need to set ID number for each I/O module by the rotary ID switch on the
front side. Rotate that ID switch and point the hole on the central axis to correspond-
ing ID number ("0" ~ "F"). Refer to figures below for the location of the rotary ID
switch and how to set the ID number by the rotary ID switch.
Note! APAX supports locate functionality. It means the selected APAX I/O mod-
ule will flash its LED to let you identify through Apax/Adam utility. Refer to
related APAX controller or coupler software manual for how to operate it.

APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual 8
From the figures above, you can choose ID number 0 ~ 15 from the rotary ID switch
("0" ~ "F"). Therefore, the maximum number for analog module in one system is 16.
For digital modules, there is another ID switch on the PCB that it can double the
available ID number. Thus, the maximum number for digital module in one system is
32.
You can distinguish if the ID number is doubled by the front LED. When the LED color
is green, only 0 ~ 15 ID number is used (0 ~ 15 according to the rotary ID switch).
Once the LED color is orange, the ID number is doubled (16~31 according to the
rotary ID switch). Refer to figure below for its location and how to configure it.

9 APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual
Chapter 1 Overview
DIP Switch Setting ID LED Color
16 ~ 31 according to the rotary ID swich Orange
0~ 15 according to the rotary ID swich Green
Warning! Avoid two modules with the same ID number in the same system, or you
cannot see the module in the software utility. The LED on the front side
will flash four times if two or more modules have the same ID number in
one system. If this happens, simply change the ID number for these
conflicted modules and all of them can be found in utility again.

APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual 10
1.7 Mechanical Assembly and Power Connection
1.7.1 Wiring Power Input to the Backplane
There are two ways that APAX-5000 I/O mdoules can be powered. One is to connect
the DC power supply wire directly to the power connector on the backplane. Another
way is using APAX-5343E power supply module.
When you wire the power supply to the backplane, the power is transferred between
backplanes, and provides to all APAX-5000 I/O modules inserted on the backplanes.
Refer to figures below for how to wiring the power to the backplane, and how to
assembly APAX-5000 I/O modules with backplanes:
1. Connect the power supply wire to the power connectors on the 2-slot APAX-
5002 backplane module.
2. Insert one APAX-5000 I/O module on that APAX-5002 backplane module.
Warning! If you use APAX-5000 digital modules in the same system, use different
power supplies for the system and the the digital channels on the mod-
ules to ensure isolation protection between digital channels and system.

11 APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual
Chapter 1 Overview
3. Lock that APAX-5000 I/O module to the APAX-5002 backplane by pulling down
the module locks.
4. Insert another APAX-5000 I/O module on the same APAX-5002 backplane. Use
tongue-and-groove slots to move the module.
5. Lock that APAX-5000 I/O module to the APAX-5002 backplane by pulling down
the module locks.

APAX-5000 I/O Series User Manual 12
6. If you need more than one APAX-5000 I/O module, stack another APAX-5002
backplane to the original APAX-5002 backplane.
7. Lock the stacked APAX-5002 backplane to the original APAX-5002 backplane
by the backplane locks.
Warning! When you assembly different backplanes together, remember to turn off
the power connected to the backplane. If not, the backplanes may be
damaged. Turn on the power again after you complete the assembly for
all backplanes.
Note! If you want to provide more power to the system, you can connect
another power supply wire to the power connections on the second
APAX-5002 backplane. (The wiring procedure is the same as step 1)
