Introduction

Nowadays Advantech’s ADAM-6000 accomplishes the integration

of automation and enterprise systems easily through internet

technology, so that users can avoid changing the entire architecture

of the control system and even remotely monitor the device status

more flexibly. Advantech’s ADAM-6000 modules are empowered

by peer-to-peer (P2P) and Graphic Condition Logic (GCL), and

can perform as standalone products for measurement, control

and automation. Instead of having additional controllers or

(one input and one output module) and then the input value will be transferred to the output channel actively, which greatly

simplifies the process and means that no controller is required.

ADAM-6000 Ethernet I/O Modules

Graphic Condition Logic

GCL (Graphic Condition Logic) functionality empowers Ethernet

I/O modules control ability. Users can define the control logic rules

through graphical configuration environment in Adam/Apax .NET

Utility, and download defined logic rules to specific ADAM-6000

Ethernet I/O module. Then, that Ethernet module will execute the

logic rules automatically just like a standalone controller. With the

ms), but also advanced security and reliability. When engineers use peer-to-

peer modules, the output module can only be controlled by its paired input

module, rather than controlled by other non-authorized computers or devices.

Even when communication between pairs of ADAM-6000 peer-to-peer

modules is broken, the digital output module can generate pre-defined values

to ensure safety.

Online Monitoring

After users complete all GCL configurations in Adam/Apax .NET Utility, they can simply click the “Run Monitoring” button.

Then users can see a real-time execution workflow of the logic rules on ADAM-6000 modules and current input values will

also be displayed. This greatly helps users to maintain the system.
