ADAM-5000 A-7
Appendix A
Configuration with the ADAM Command Set
ADAM systems can also be configured by issuing direct command
from within the terminal emulation program that is included with the
ADAM utility software.
The following example guides you through the setup of an analog
input module. Assume that an ADAM-5018 Thermocouple Input
module in slot 1 on an ADAM-5000/485 system still has its default
settings (baud rate 9600 and address 01h). The system is first request-
ed to send its default settings and then reconfigured.
Note: An analog input module requires a maximum of 7
seconds to perform auto calibration and ranging after
it is rebooted or powered on. During this time span,
the module cannot be addressed to perform any
other actions.
Example:
Make sure that the module is properly connected as shown in Chapter
4, Figure 4-3. Power up all the connected devices, start the terminal
emulation program, and issue the following command:
$01S1B(cr)
This command requests the module in slot 1 of the ADAM-5000
system at address 01h to send its configuration status
!010500
The module of the system at address 01h responds that it is config-
ured for an input range of ±2.5 V, integration time of 50 ms (60 Hz),
format = engineering units and no checksum checking or generation.
To change the configuration setting of the analog input module, the
following command is issued:
$01S1A0F00(cr)
$ = change configuration
01 = target module at address 01
