Advantech ADAM-4570 Switch User Manual


 
1.1 Introduction
The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is a light-
ning fast and cost effective data gateway between RS-
232/422/485 and Ethernet interfaces. This unit imme-
diately upgrades your existing device(s) to the Ethernet
world. Functionally transparent and efficient, the
ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is specially
designed for remotely controlling and monitoring de-
vices via the Internet.
The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 provides
one, two or four RS-232/485/422 serial ports that can
each be easily configured for your needs. For increas-
ing the reliability of systems, the ADAM-4570 also pro-
vides three significant functions: Host idle, Device idle
and Auto-reconnect. The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/
EDG-4504 also supports transmission speeds up to 230
Kbps, meeting the demand for today’s high-speed ex-
change. Users can use a Windows utility to configure
the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 without
need for further programming. The ADAM-4570/
ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 not only protects your cur-
rent hardware investment but also ensures future net-
work expandability. Since the protocol conversion is
transparent, all existing devices can be seamlessly inte-
grated into the Ethernet network. Therefore, the
ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 can be used
in security systems, factory automation, SCADA, trans-
portation and more.
The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 inte-
grates both your existing human-machine interface soft-
ware (HMI) and RS-232/422/485 system architecture
with an Ethernet network. The result helps save cabling
