The ADAM-4000 series developed by Advantech Co., Ltd. has passed the CE test for
environmental specifications when operated within an industrial enclosure (ADAM-
4950-ENC). Therefore, in order to protect the ADAM modules from being damaged
by ESD (Electric Static Discharge), we strongly recommend that the use of CE-com-
pliant industrial enclosure products when using any ADAM module.

ADAM-3600 has a six bit DIP-switch on board which can be identification for 64
devices on the field. Through an ordinary cable, it could download configuration doc-
uments into RTU devices (with a maximum of 64), and customers could find out the
sources of faults through ID codes when variations encountered in the performance
of RTU.

The ADAM-3600-C2G is equipped with 8 channels DI, follow the below diagram for
wiring. The pin “COM” is for positive voltage wiring and provides a pull high voltage to
the unwired pins. Normally user can leave it empty, and consider wiring while the field
interference is significant.
For wall-mounted installation, users can fix the device on the wall with 4 screws as
shown below.
Chapter 3
There are two wireless expansion interfaces under the gray cover, which supports
two Mini-PCle ports, and can insert wireless LAN card. Two overlapping network
cards can be installed. The below supports half-sized card while the upper supports
full-size card. Two screws are needed to install each card, and then the antenna
could be installed. More details as follows:

When customers install a 3G/GPRS module, they need to insert a SIM card, follow
below diagram to install the SIM card. The SIM card is micro-SIM (3FF) type.

After completing the creation of the new project, users can right-click on the project name to
check the project information and add new devices. To add devices, user need to input the
name, device type Node ID and description. The field of password contains the default set-
ting; user can change it in “Deploy” taskbar “Password Setting”. See more details in Article 1-
3-3
After finish the device adding, user's can modify the device information by double-click the
device name on the left-hand-side tree view, or right-click on the device name, and choose
“edit”.
4.2.2 Configuring the Data Center and Link Tag with I/O
After adding a device, there will be an item "Data Center" under the added device. It is a place
for user to manage data acquisition, which is an important functionality for a RTU. Through
this interface, user can manage all the ADAM-3600 resources which are able to fetch data
from the field site.
The ADAM-3600 can support many interfaces for data acquisition, include on-board I/O,
expansion I/O, serial device I/O, Ethernet device IO, and Wireless Zigbee device I/O. All
these above I/Os can be configured as a tag by using the iRTU Studio.
Beside the real I/O tags, user can also build some user tags which is with specific engineering
purpose for management under the iRTU Studio
Chapter 4
The ADAM-3600-C2G is equipped with 8-ch AI, 8-ch DI, and 4-ch DO ports which users can
map the real input signals to the IO tag. The configuration method of analog and discrete
input is different and the specific configuration method is as follows:
Onboard IO Analog Configuration
Besides the basic information of IO tag, the configuration of analog also includes advanced
configuration. The specified way is as the following figure shows.
Chapter 4
The ADAM-3600 has three serial ports including 1x RS232/RS485, 2 x RS485. iRTU Studio
can edit, delete and add device on these three ports.
1. Right click the “Data Center” on the left-side tree view, and select “Add Port”
2. In the “Type” field of “New Port” page, select "Serial", and input the related
parameters for the serial port.
3. Click button “Apply”, the port will be created on the left-hand side tree view
under the “Data Center” item

meter.
Chapter 4
“Apply” to add meter. While the meter added, there is a new item “I/O Tag”
below the meter, click the “+” in front of the port and meter to unfold it.
Chapter 4
We mainly introduced I/O tag configuration in the former articles, while there are some non-
actual I/O tags in the project configuration, which allow users to choose and configure. This is
called as user tag. These user tags could be used for C language and KW language program-
ming as a control signal as well as a presentation of computation results. In a word, all of
these user tags will fulfill user's demands for data.
iRTU Studio supports user tag configuration. Users can configure step by step into RTU as
shown in the following:
ADAM-3600-C2G Modbus address mapping: Modbus Client request data of Server by Mod-
bus addressing. Thus, in the lower table is an interface to map the tags with Modbus address.
To add tag into Modbus address list, please double click the field of column “Tag Name” and
select the tag from the tree-view as shown on below figure. And select the “Tag Type” from
the draw down list. If the tag is an analogue type (AI/AO), please also select the related “Data
Type” from the draw down list.

following picture.
Configure the I/O setting as below figures to provide an initiated setting to the on-board I/O
and expansion I/O
(1) AI supports 4 IO ranges: ±10V,±2.5V?0~20mA,4~20 mA
(2) DI supports 2 modes: Normal & Counter
(3) DO supports 2 modes: Normal & PWM
The figure below shows the configuration page the ADAM-3600-C2G on-board IO; AI,DI,DO
in the same page:
Note! The analogue I/O is default well calibrated and we do not recommend
user do the calibration by one-self. Once the calibration is needed, we
suggest sending back to RMA for calibration service.

In the GPRS setting section, user has to choose the GPRS connection to join the network.
and make sure the Connect has been clicked:

Before we start to download the configuration to the RTU device, users have to adjust the
connected RTUs to be with the correct NodeID as project required.
The “Device Search” will help user to explore all the RTU devices which the NodeID is men-
tioned in the configured project. After the search, utility will feedback the IP address of the
RTUs and show the status as “on-line”. If the NodeID setting is incorrect or the device is actu-
ally not in the network, the status will show “off-line”
