ADAM 6000 Ethernet I/O Modules –
Powerful Features: Peer to Peer
and Graphic Conditional Logic (GCL)
What is Peer to Peer?
Peer to peer enabled modules actively update input channel status to specific output channels. Users can define the mapping
between input and output channels then the input value will be transferred to the output channel actively.
Remote I/O
What Benefits do Peer to Peer Modules Provide?
No Controller Required.
The Controller can be removed since the data will automatically transfer simplifying the data transfer process and saving hardware
cost.
No Additional Programming Required
To use the Peer to Peer feature the only thing required is to configure the settings through the free, easy-to-use ADAM.NET utility.
No additional programming is needed saving development time.
Simple and Flexible Wiring
If the PLC and sensors are far apart, the remote I/O modules located near the sensors have to communicate through complex often
proprietary PLC communication networks and cabling. Peer to peer modules can replace limited and closed networks with no
limitations since they leverage open and flexible Ethernet networks and infrastructure. With the built-in web server, data can be
viewed anytime, anywhere via the internet.
What is GCL?
GCL (Graphics Condition Logic) give Ethernet I/O modules control ability. Up to 16 logic rules can be defined and downloaded to
the module though the free ADAM.NET utility. The Ethernet module will execute the logic rules automatically just like a
standalone controller. In the configuration environment there are 4 stages of on logic rule: Input, Logic, Execution and Output.
What Benefits does GCL provide?
No controller needed saving cost and complexity
Easy Graphical configuration environment, no additional programming is needed
Active and real time I/O messaging and event notification to address trends and issues as they occur
Combine different logic rules to fulfill more complex applications without a separate controller
Pre-built mathematic function in analog input modules including scaling to convert to real world unit values
Serial Ethernet USB Software
Signal
Conditioners
Field Application Story:
GCL Typical Application: Water Tank Control
Two ADAM-6000 modules are the only hardware used for this automation
application - no other controller or computer required. ADAM-6017 module is
located on the rooftop, connecting to the water level sensor in the tower.
ADAM-6050 module is located in the basement, controlling the water pump.
The two ADAM modules are connected across the building’s Ethernet
network - no extra wiring is needed. GCL is running on the ADAM-6017
module, continuously comparing the water level with a specific limit value.
If the water level is less than the limit value, it will trigger the ADAM-6050
module’s D/O channel to start the pump and fill water tank. No need to write
any program. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete the configuration using
the ADAM.NET Utility.
