Installation Pow er Supply
For the ease of use in industrial environments the
ADAM modules are designed to accept industry
standard +24 V
DC
unregulated power. Operation is
guaranteed when using any power supply between
+10 and +30 V
DC
. Power ripples must be limited to 5V
peak to peak while the voltage in all cases must be
maintained between +10 and +30 V
DC
. All power
supply specifications are referenced at module
connector.
The power cables should be selected according to the
number of modules connected and the length of the
power lines. When using a network with long cables,
we advise the use of thicker wire to limit the line
voltage drop. In addition to serious voltage drops,
long voltage lines can also cause interference with
communication wires.
We advise that the following standard colors (as
indicated on the modules) be used for power lines:
Initial Inspection
We carefully inspect the ADAM-4521 both mechanic-
cally and electrically before we ship it. It should be
free of marks and scratches and in perfect order on
receipt.
As you unpack the module, check it for signs of
shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents,
etc.). If it is damaged or fails to meet our specifica-
tions, notify our service department or your local sales
representative immediately. Also, call the carrier
immediately and retain the shipping carton and
packing material for inspection by the carrier. We will
then make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
Before you begin installation, please make sure you
have the following items:
□ 1 ADAM-4521 module
□ 1 Bracket
□ 1 Utility disk
+Vs (R) Red
GND (B) Black
Basic Configuration
Before installing the ADAM-4521 in an existing
network, it should be configured. Though all modules
are initially configured at the factory, it is recommend-
ed that you check the baud rate settings.
Factory Default Settings:
Protocol: RS-485
Buad Rate: 9600 bps
Delimiter: {
Mode: Addressable
Add cr: Yes
Address: 01
Communication Wiring
We recommend that shielded-twisted-pair cables that
comply with the EIA RS-485 standard be used with
the ADAM network to reduce interference. Only one
set of twisted-pair cables is required to transmit both
Data and RTS signals. We advise that the following
standard colors (as indicated on the modules) be
used for the communication lines:
DATA +
DATA - Yellow
Green (Y)
