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.
The end node can communicate with coordinator directly or via a router to coordinator. As traditional network, the Wireless Sensor Network provides the star, tree and mesh topologies for various applications. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual...
1.1.8 Advantech Software Alignment As with all other ADAM devices, the ADAM-2000 series is integrated into the AdamA- pax .NET Utility, therefore users will have an identical user experience. With the pow- erful Advantech software, only a few steps are required to search and configure the ADAM-2000 series.
1.2.2 LED Status There are four types of LED status on the front panel of ADAM-2000 series. Ext PWR: Green LED Error: Red LED Status: Yellow LED Level Index:4x Amber LEDs Figure 1.3 LED Indicators Table 1.2: LED Indicator Definitions...
The distance of each node is defined as the clear path between the antennas which known as line of sight. Anything within the path will interrupt the radio transmission that interference the communication. Beware of the trees, buildings, moving objects, or other obstacles in between the antennas. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual...
Page 18
But if the module without power amplifier is used here, the distance will be restricted by the power of the antenna of the module. So the path will be around 110m. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual...
Page 19
Following are the top view of antenna. The modules with power amplifier has less than 1000 m distance as the figure on the left, and the modules without power amplifier are less than 110 m. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual...
The ADAM-2000 series provides start, tree and mesh topologies. No further configu- ration is required, the ADAM-2000 series will automatically associate the network by the locations of the ADAM-2000 series units. Users may select the correct topology and install ADAM-2000s for their application systems. The topology is depend on the number and the position of routers.See the image below and Table 1.3 provide the...
Mounting ADAM-2000 series modules are designed as compact units and are allowed to be installed in the field site with the following methods. 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.
The end brackets help keep the modules from sliding horizontally along the rail. Figure 1.6 Fixing ADAM-2000 to DIN rail adaptor Figure 1.7 Fixed ADAM-2000 to DIN rail ADAM-2000 Series User Manual...
The ADAM-2000 series can be powered by batteries. Remove the name plate in the front of the ADAM-2000 series device and install 2 AA batteries for backup power or standard operation (depends on the power consumption of the devices). The ADAM- 2000 is powered by batteries only if the external power is not available.
In a WPAN, only the Gateway needs to connect to a host. The ADAM-2520Z is the Wireless Sensor Network Modbus RTU Gateway of the ADAM-2000 series and pro- vides RS-422/485 and USB interfaces to connect to host. Users can choose one of the interfaces by pushing the switch to RS-422/485 or USB position.
Move the switch to the right to select RS-485 as main communica- tion interface. For ADAM-2520Z, we recommend user to choose power source accord- ing to its communication interface. Please avoid the operation that insert USB power source and external power source at the same time. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual...
