Four EtherNet/IP-based remote I/O modules
from Advantech
Advantech's ADAM-6100 series is a new line of Industrial
Ethernet Remote I/O modules, seven of which are designed
with the EtherNet/IP protocol and seven based on PROFINET.
Four of the EtherNet/IP-based modules have just been released,
the ADAM-6150EI, a 15-ch Isolated Digital Input/Output EtherNet/IP
Module, the ADAM-6151EI, a 16-ch Isolated Digital Input
EtherNet/IP Module, the ADAM-6156EI, a 16-ch Isolated Digital
Output EtherNet/IP Module, and the ADAM-6160EI, a 6-ch Relay
Output EtherNet/IP Module.
Designed with 2,500 VDC isolation protections, these modules
are resistant to field interference. They are also equipped
with the EtherNet/IP protocol, and allow daisy chain connections,
making it possible to transfer data much faster during process
control and other industrial automation applications. Daisy
chain connectivity provides a more scalable system with
fewer wires to help avoid interference common in factory
settings.
The ADAM-6100 series can also be mounted in different ways
depending on different field situations, such as DIN-rail
mounting, wall mounting, and piggybacked. Advantech's ADAM.NET
Utility comes bundled with each ADAM-6100 module, allowing
users to configure, set, and test ADAM-6100 modules through
Ethernet.
The first four modules in the new ADAM-6100 series are
available now, with three more EtherNet/IP modules coming
before March 2011 and seven additional modules with PROFINET
protocol coming later this year.
