The following items are required to configure a module: an ADAM
converter module, a personal computer with RS-232 port (baud rate set
to 9600) and the ADAM utility software.
Configuration with the ADAM Utility Software
The easiest way to configure the ADAM module is by using the
ADAM utility software. It is a user friendly structured menu program
that will guide you through every step of the configuration. (See
Appendix D, Utility Software)
Changing the protocol from ADAM ASCII to Modbus
Some ADAM-4000 modules support both ADAM ASCII and
Modbus protocols, and the factory default setting of these modules is
ADAM ASCII protocol. If you would like to configure the modules to
Modbus protocol, please refer to Appendix H which describes how to
change the protocol in ADAM utility.
Configuration with the ADAM command set
ADAM modules can also be configured by issuing direct commands
through a terminal emulation program that is part of the ADAM utility
software. The following example will guide you through the setup of an
analog input module. Assume an ADAM-4011 Analog Input module
still has its default settings (baud rate 9600 and address 01h), and you
are being requested to send its default settings before any
reconfiguration is made.
NOTICE: An analog input module requires a maximum of 7 seconds
to perform auto calibration and ranging after reboot or start up.
During this time span, the module can not be addressed to perform
any other actions.
Example:
Make sure that the module is properly connected and turn on all the
connected devices. Then, start the terminal emulation program, and
type in the following command:
$012(cr)
The command above requests the module with address 01 to send its
configuration status
