Advantech ADAM-5511 Manual page 37

The ADAM-5511 uses a convenient backplane system common to the
ADAM-5000 series. Advantech's complete line of ADAM-5000
modules integrate with the ADAM-5511 to support your applications.
A full range of digital modules support 10 to 30 V DC I/O and relay
outputs. A set of analog modules provide 16-bit resolution and
programmable input and output (including bipolar) signal ranges. For
details, refer to Chapter 4 I/O Modules.
A complete set of C language I/O subroutines are included in the
ADAM-5511's function library to reduce programming effort. Users
can easily call on these subroutines to execute the ADAM-5511's I/O
functions while programming in Borland C 3.0 languages. For a
detailed description, refer to Chapter 6 Function Library.
The micro-controller also includes a real-time clock and watchdog
timer. The real-time clock records events while they occur. The
watchdog timer is designed to automatically reset the microprocessor
if the system fails. This feature greatly reduces the level of mainte-
nance required and makes the ADAM-5511 ideal for use in applica-
tions which require a high level of system stability.
