Chapter 1 1 Understanding Your System
1.1 Introduction ADAM-2000 series is the wireless solution of the ADAM families and integrates the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, I/O and Sensor technologies known as Wireless Sensor Network. Different from the wired solution, the flexible network capability makes it easy to extend or construct a cost-effective distributed monitoring system for variety of applications. Through popular industrial Modbus protocol, the ADAM-2000 can be integrated into any HMI and SCADA system.

1.1.6 Industrial Standard Modbus Protocol Modbus is an industrial standard serial communication protocol, and a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for communication between many devices connected to the same network. Modbus RTU is used in serial communication and makes use of a compact binary representation of the data for protocol communication.
Storage Humidity: 0% ~ 95% Note! This products components will operate at temperatures up to 85°C however the case the casing will crack if subjected to temperatures above 70°C for a long period. If you need to operate the device in temperatures exceeding those stated, contact your nearest sales agent. Chapter 1 1.2.2 LED Status Figure 1.3 LED Indicators Table 1.
1.2.3 Wireless Communication Range Thought the wireless technology brings the advantage of flexibility, cost-effective wiring and easy deployment, but users must understand its limitations to enjoy the benefits of the wireless technology. The Link Quality Indicator (LQI) of the ADAM-2000 displays how the facts below affect the wireless signal. Its indicator represents the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and the retransmission times of a packet.

1.4 Mounting ADAM-2000 series modules are designed as compact units and are allowed to be installed in the field site with the following method. 1.4.1 Panel Mounting Each ADAM-2000 Module is packed with a plastic panel mounting bracket. Users can refer the dimensions of the bracket to configure an optimal placement in a panel or cabinet. Fix the bracket first, then, fix the ADAM-2000 module on the bracket. Figure 1.
The ADAM-2000 module can also be secured to the cabinet by using mounting rails. Fix the ADAM-2000 module with the DIN-rail adapter as Figure 3.2. Then secure it on the DIN-rail as Figure 3.3. If you mount the module on a rail, you should also consider using end brackets at each end of the rail. The end brackets help keep the modules from sliding horizontally along the rail. Figure 1.7 Fix ADAM-2000 to DIN rail 9 ADAM-2000 Series User Manual Understanding Your System Figure 1.
1.5 Wiring & Connections This section provides basic information of wiring the power supply, I/O units, communication units, and network connection. 1.5.1 Power Supply Wiring You can choose power supply type with 3 type: USB port, RS-485 port, battery for ADAM-2520Z gateway, other devices can use RS-485 or battery to get power. When you want to set up ADAM-2520Z gateway, please see as a wireless receiver to use USB or RS-485 to do data transfer between router or end-device.
1.5.1.3 ADAM-2520Z Basic Configuration without USB Power Supply To power the device via RS-485, the module should be properly configured. See the diagram below: 1.5.2 I/O Module Wiring The system uses a plug-in screw terminal block as the interface between I/O modules and external devices. When connecting external devices to the I/O modules, follows the guideline below. 1. The maximum wire diameter allowed for the terminal block is 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. 2. Always use an integrity wire. 3.

Chapter 2 Selecting Your Hardware 2
2.1 Selecting an ADAM-2000 Module Communication Module ADAM-2520Z, ADAM-2510Z I/O Module ADAM-2051Z, ADAM-2051PZ, ADAM-2017Z Sensor Module ADAM-2031Z 2.1.1 Selecting a Communication Module Communication modules are fundamental when needing to perform data acquisition and control Wireless Sensor Networks systems. There are two types of communications modules: the coordinator and the router.
To organize an ADAM-2000 series remote data acquisition and control system, you need to select proper I/O or sensor modules to connect to field devices or processes that you have previously determined. Table 2.
2.2 Selecting an Operator Interface To complete your data acquisition and control system, selecting an operator interface is necessary. Adopting the Modbus protocol, ADAM-2000 series I/O modules exhibit high ability in system integration for various applications. For reading the real-time status of ADAM-2000 series modules anywhere without any engineering effort, there is a lot of third-party Modbus software available.

C.1 Troubleshooting Q1: Why is the Error LED blinking? A1: 1. The Coordinator is not hosting a PAN yet. The PAN ID and Channel might be occupied by another Coordinators. Change to different PAN ID and Channel in initial mode. 2. The Router/End Device is not joining a PAN. Check if there is a coordinator with specified PAN ID and Channel to join. 3. Battery level is low.
1. 2. 3. 4. When there are 4 set of devices being coordinated at the same time, the level Index light will be lit by turns. Devices in initial mode will in high power consumption status, beware of your power status when using batteries. When using the ADAM utility the initial value of an ADAM-2051Z is 1.
