Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The ADAM-4500 is a fully functional standalone controller, designed for industrial automation and
control, enclosed in a small package. It provides an ideal means of producing an IBM PC
compatible hardware platform.
Emulating Open PC environments
The module is much like a compact computer, and includes an 80188 CPU, 256 KB Flash ROM,
256 KB SRAM, COM1, COM2, and a program download port. Its built-in ROM-DOS is an MS-
DOS equivalent operating system, which provides all of the basic functions of MS-DOS except for
BIOS. A user can run standard PC software and application programs, written in high level
languages such as C or C++, within the ROM-DOS environment. Moreover, the module also
provides free ROM memory for application downloading and free RAM memory for application
operation.
Built-in RS-232/RS-485 Communication Ports
The ADAM-4500 has two communication ports to let the controller easily communicate with the
other devices in your application. The COM1 port can be configured as an RS-232 or an RS-485
communication interface via the jumper setting. The COM2 port is dedicated as an RS-485 port.
This unique design makes the controller suitable for use in a variety of applications.
