MultiTrode MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual page 96

The ADAM units are packaged with a CD which includes a program called Adam.NET. This program is
installed on a Windows PC and is used to configure the I/O device. It allows the IP address of the ADAM unit
to be changed, in order to match a specific domain.
To establish communications to the device, first connect the device to a DC power supply (10-30V) via the (R)
+Vs and (B) GND pins. Then connect the device to the network used by the Windows machine via an RJ-45
connection.
Run the Adam.NET program. From the displayed window, highlight ADAM5000TCP_6000, then click on the
magnifying glass icon. This detects the connected device. Highlighting this device allows the IP Address to
be reconfigured via the Network tab. Once the desired IP address has been set, click on Apply Change.
NOTE:
If you are using an ADAM-6017 device which is not purchased through MultiTrode, you must configure
the I/O to make it suitable for interfacing with the MultiSmart.
The default IP address of the ADAM unit is 10.0.0.1 unless it is specified and purchased from MultiTrode.
The MultiSmart now needs to be reconfigured to communicate to this device.
Check the IP address of the MultiSmart, modify if it does not match with that of the ADAM unit. To verify or to
change the IP address of the MultiSmart browse to:
If the ADAM unit is directly connected to the MultiSmart using a cross over cable, set the MultiSmart IP
Address to 10.0.0.2. To configure the IP address of the ADAM units for advanced installations refer to the
unit manual (available for download from http://advantech.com.tw). Ensure that no more than one ADAM
unit has the same IP address, otherwise an IP address conflict will occur. If advanced routing needs to be
setup in the MultiSmart, refer to Section 22.4.
Navigate to:
1. Select the Modbus Master, which contains the slave profiles of the I/O units, using the select arrow
buttons and press Select.
2. Set the Comms Channel to TCP/IP 1, 2 or 3 whichever is available for use, Link Type to TCP and
press Save. Choose Restart Later option if prompted.
3. Use the select arrow button and select the first slave and press Edit. Select the Enabled? option if it
is not selected already, set the Slave Address to 1 and press Save.
4. Select the IP Address button, enter the ADAM unit's IP address in the Dest IP Address tab, set the
TCP Port to 502 and press Save. Now press Back button twice to navigate to the Modbus Master
settings. (If there is more than one slave, edit the settings for each additional slaves by following the
above procedure)
5. Press the Channel button, set the Connection Type to Initiating end-point and press Save.
From the Advanced screen, navigate to:
Change the Comms Channel parameter to TCP/IP 1 (or TCP/IP 2 or 3 if channel 1 is already used by
another application). Then change the Link Type parameter to TCP.
Next, from the Advanced screen, navigate to:
Change the Connection Type parameter to Initiating end-point.
Then navigate to:
Set the IP Address parameter to the address selected for the ADAM IO device, and then set the TCP Port
parameter to 502 (which is the default port for Modbus communications).
6. Once the changes are complete, press Save and restart the unit.
