The ADAM-6050W, ADAM-6051W and ADAM-6060W meet many diverse applications as they are equipped with numerous features and functions known as Smart I/O. The inputs can be configured to read a frequency signal, act as a counter, latching input or normal input. The outputs can be configured as pulse outputs, delayed outputs, and standard output. The output modules have a built-in communications watchdog, which allows each output channel to be set to a known state if communications is lost. The user-friendly interface allows for simple changes to the embedded JAVA web page without requiring JAVA programming knowledge. The units allow eight simultaneous web clients for viewing I/O status and control, if needed. The ADAM-6000W series I/O modules use wireless Ethernet standard IEEE802.11b. They support Modbus/TCP and UDP protocols. These units handle industrial power and can be din-rail- or panel-mounted. The I/O design is suitable for applications such as building automation, environmental monitoring, production monitoring, and facility management.
