Feature Details
Built-in Ethernet and RS-232/485 COM Ports
The ADAM-6500 has one Ethernet (10BASE-T), and four communication ports (3 x RS-232
and 2 x RS-485). The ADAM-6501 has one Ethernet (10/100BASE-T) , one RS-232 and
one RS-232/485 ports. These provide easy communication between the controller and
devices in your applications, and has been designed for program downloading, debugging
and linking serial devices with the Ethernet/Internet. Both ADAM-6500 and 6501 is
equipped with a COM1 port (RS-232) supporting full RS-232 signals for applications
such as modem connections, while the 3-pin RS-232 and RS-485 are designed as the
interface for traditional RS-232/485 devices/equipment. This design allows the controller
to be used in a variety of applications. For example, the user may download a data logging
application into the ADAM-6500/6501’s memory while the ADAM-6500/6501 is connected
to a RS-485 network, and then collect the data over the network.
Introduction
ADAM-6500 and ADAM-6501 are fully functional Ethernet -enabled controllers for industrial automation and control. They provide an ideal environment to develop applications
converting RS-232/485 devices/equipment data to the Ethernet/Internet world with minimum effort. Their built-in Windows CE .NET operating system lets users run new programs
produced in Microsoft embedded VC++. The Windows environment also includes a web server to allow the designer to develop web-enabled applications.
