a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, 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

ADAM-6520 series' features and full
specifications.

ADAM-6520 User Manual 2
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
ADAM-6520 modules are a 5-port industrial-grade 10/100 Mbps Ether-
net switch for fast and cost-efficient network expansion. They connect up
to 5 workstations and auto-detect both 10 and 100 Mbps network speeds.
Moreover, ADAM-6520 modules support auto crossover to provide a
flexible networking environment, connecting to the network via any port.
ADAM-6520 modules provide three methods for mounting in an indus-
trial environment: DIN rail, wall/panel, or piggyback stacking. ADAM-
6520 modules have a flexible input voltage range of +10~30 VDC at the
terminal block. ADAM-6520 operates from -10~70° C and ADAM-
6520L from 0~60° C, while ADAM-6520I is from -40 to 85°C. The
above features make ADAM-6520 modules more stable and reliable than
normal Ethernet switches. Thus, ADAM-6520 modules are especially
suitable for industrial environments with Ethernet networking like: semi-
conductor factories, warehouses, conveyer belt systems and more.
1.1.1 High-Speed Transmission
ADAM-6520 modules include a switch controller that automatically
senses transmission speeds (10/100 Mbps). RJ-45 interface also supports
auto-detection, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically selected and a cross-
over cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that
support the store-and-forward mechanism, assuring that data is properly
transmitted.
1.1.2 Flexible Mounting
Due to its versatility and innovative design, ADAM-6520 modules can be
fixed in three ways: DIN rail, panel and piggyback mounting.
1.1.3 Protection for Power Line & Ethernet Port
The power line of ADAM-6520 modules support supports up to 3000
VDC surge protection, which secure equipment against unregulated volt-
age and make systems safer and more reliable. Meanwhile, 4000 VDC
ESD protection for the Ethernet ports makes ADAM-6520 modules (not
including ADAM-6520L) more suitable for harsh environments.

3 Chapter1
1.1.4 Wide Operating Temperature Range
The operating temperature of ADAM-6520 is from -10~70° C, and
ADAM-6520L is from 0~60° C, while ADAM-6520I offers a very wide
range from -40 to 85° C. With such wide ranges you can use ADAM-
6520 modules in some of the harshest industrial environments that exist.
1.1.5 Easy Troubleshooting
There are six LED indicators supplied to aid troubleshooting for ADAM-
6520 modules. Each port has a pair of LEDs to indicate link status and
port activity. That makes it easy to indicate link status, power failure and
data reception for on-site diagnostics.
1.2 Features

• Integrated address Look-Up Engine, supports 1K absolute MAC
addresses (ADAM-6520L: 2K)

2.4 Mounting
Through versatility and innovative design, ADAM-6520 modules can be:
• Fixed to a wall or panel
• Fixed to a DIN-rail.
• “Piggyback” stacked
Panel Mounting
ADAM-6520 modules can be attached to a wall using the included brack-
ets. Each bracket comes with four screws; first attach the bracket to the
bottom of ADAM-6520 modules. Next, screw the bracket to the wall.
Figure 2.4: Panel Mounting

ADAM-6520 User Manual 12
DIN-rail Mounting
You can mount ADAM-6520 modules on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail.
First, use two screws to attach the DIN-rail bracket to the ADAM-6520
modules. Because ADAM-6520 modules use special hex head slotted
shoulder screws, the tops of the screws will be even with the front of the
module. Snap the module onto the DIN-rail.

Piggyback Stack
Several ADAM-6520 modules can be stacked as seen in the figure below

13 Chapter2
2.5 Network Connection
2.5.1 Connection to Devices
Each of the switch’s twisted-pair ports can be used to connect to a con-
troller or other devices. Use a straight-through twisted-pair cable with RJ-
45 connectors on both ends. The twisted-pair cable extended from a
twisted-pair port is called a “twisted-pair segment”. It can be up to 100
meters long. You can connect any RJ-45 (MDI-X) station port on the
switch to any device that uses a standard network interface such as a
workstation or server.
2.5.2 Connection to other Hubs or Switches
ADAM-6520 modules have five RJ-45 ports that support connections to
10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet networks, and half or full-duplex operation.
ADAM-6520 modules can be connected to other hubs or switches via a
two-pair straight through cable or crossover cable. The connection can be
made from any port on ADAM-6520 modules (MDI-X) to other hubs or
switches by either their MDI-X port or uplink MDI port.
ADAM-6520 modules support auto-crossover, so each port allows you to
connect switches together and expand an existing network easily using
either straight through or a crossover Ethernet cable. You can connect any
RJ-45 (MDI-X) port on the switch to a device like a switch, bridge or
router.
2.6 Power Connection
Follow these simple steps to connect ADAM-6520 to power supplies.
1. Connect the power cable to the two connectors.
2. Connect the power cable to a power adapter.
