    2.2 Steps to Successfully Setup the System Step 1: Review the requirements Before you power on the ADAM-4500, make sure you have a host computer, a power supply, and the utility software and download cable. Step 2: Wiring the power cables and download cable Connect the power cable between the power supply and the ADAM-4500.

  • Page 8: Step 3: Run Utility Software In Host Computer

    Step 3: Run utility software in host computer Together with the ADAM-4500 you will find a utility disk containing an ADAM4500.EXE file. This file is a menu-driven software utility provided for downloading user's programs. It uses a screen simulating operation of the ADAM-4500 communication controller. When the file is executed, the main screen appears, as shown in figure 2.3.

    RS-232 Connection The ADAM-4500 has a DB-9 pin connector as its RS-232 port connector. Since the connection for an RS- 232 interface is not standardized, different devices implement the RS-232 connection in different ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connector.

  • Page 11: Rs-485 Connection

    Handshaking signals (such as RTS, Request To Send) are normally used to control the direction of the data flow. A special I/O circuit in the ADAM-4500 automatically senses the direction of the data flow and switches the transmission direction. No handshaking signals are necessary.

  • Page 12: Converting Program Codes

    Converting Program Codes The ADAM-4500 has an 80188 CPU. Therefore, programs downloaded into its flash ROM must first be converted into 80186 or 80188 compatible code, and the floating point operation must be set to emulation mode. For example, if you were to develop your application program in Borland C, you would compile the program as indicated in the screen below.

    Follow the instructions shown on the screen. Power off the ADAM-4500 and then re-power on. Then press any key within 7 seconds to burn the files contained in ALLFILE into the ADAM-4500's flash ROM. After the files are successfully burned into the flash ROM, the screen in Figure 3-3 will appear. Power off and power on the ADAM-4500 once again.

  • Page 15: Transferring Files To Sram

    Transferring files to SRAM (ADAM-4500's D-drive) The ADAM-4500 provides 234 KB of free SRAM for use in program operation, and as working memory space in the event you want to test your system control logic or simulate system performance before downloading the execution code to the flash ROM.

    This function disables the watchdog timer function. Appendix A Register Structure This appendix gives a short description of each of the ADAM-4500's registers. For more information please refer to the data book for the STARTECH 16C550 UART chip. All registers are one byte in length. Bit 0 is the least significant bit, and bit 7 is the most significant bit. The address of each register is specified as an offset from the port base address (BASE), COM1 is 3F8h and COM2 is 2F8h.
