Different from the wired solution, the flexible network capability makes it easy to extend or construct a cost-effective distributed monitoring system for variety of applications. Through popular industrial Modbus protocol, the ADAM-2000 can be integrated into any HMI and SCADA system. The low-power consumption design also makes it possible for standalone applications with batteries. The sensor embed-

ded design provides compact size for specified application. With the ADAM-4000 and ADAM-6000, the ADAM provides the total solutions of remote I/O. Please refer to Figure 1-1 for a brief overview of the ADAM-2000 system architecture.. Figure 1.1 ADAM-2000 Series System Architecture Figure 1.2 ADAM-2000 Series Operating Distance ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 2 C h a p t e r 1 U n d e r s t i a n d n g Y o u r S y s t e m 1.1.1 IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Standard IEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless standard defined as Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) or usually called Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) instead. It is designed for low-power consumption and robust wireless communica-

tion, especially for small data packet applications, such as sensor, I/O and etc. IEEE 802.15.4 is a low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, wireless networking protocol targeted towards automation and remote control applications. It is expected to provide low cost and low power connectivity for equipment that needs battery life as long as several months to several years but does not require data transfer rates as high as those enabled by Bluetooth. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard only defines the PHY and MAC layers. The working RF are 918MHz for EU, 868MHz for USA and 2.4GHz for World Wide. Table 1.1: Wireless Specifications Feature(s) Data Rate Power Consumption Connection Connection Speed Extendibility Reliability IEEE 802.11b 11Mbps Hours (High) Very Complex Up to 3 seconds Roaming possible No Low IEEE 802.15.4 250Kbps Years (Low) Simple 30ms Yes High Bluetooth 1Mbps Days Complex Up to 10 seconds High 1.1.2 Wireless Sensor Network The Wireless Sensor Network is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and inherits all the characteristics. Coordinator, Router and End Device (or called End Node) are the basic components to perform the PAN. A coordinator is the data collection center in a PAN and also plays as a gateway to transfer and translate wireless data to other interfaces, such as RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet and so on. A router is a wireless repeater to enhance the wireless signal and a wireless router to select optimized path for wireless communication between coordinator and end nodes. An end node is a wireless remote I/O for data acquisition. The data acquires from sensors or devices can be transmitted through it. The end node can communicate with coordinator directly or via a router to coordinator. As traditional network, the Wireless Sensor Network provides the star, tree and mesh topologies for various applications. 3 ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 1.1.3 Low-power Consumption and Battery-Powered Design ADAM-2000 is designed as a standalone device for applications that require long-

time operation without maintenance. Therefore power consumption taken into con-

sideration during its design. The ADAM-2000 not only follows the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low-power consumption wireless communication, but also optimizes the peripheral HW and FW design to achieve the uA-level power consumption: making it capable of being powered using 2 AA batteries. Note!

1. When Device adopts batteries for main power source, long network disconnection or association fail which will cause device into net-

work reassociation mechanism then sharply reduce battery life. For the choice of battery, we suggest Energizer L91 Ultimate Lith-

ium AA battery. 2. 1.1.4 Sensor Embedded Design Sensor embedded design makes the ADAM-2000 even better in some specified and compact applications. The ADAM-2031Z integrates a temperature and a humidity sensor. The module is suitable for building automation, Green-house, environment applications which require the specified sensors. With the batteries installed into the ADAM-2031Z no extra wiring is required to power the module. 1.1.5 Wireless Signal Indicator There are LEDs in the front of the panel to display the status of device. The LEDs can indicate the device's status, wireless signal strength, battery power level and error conditions. With the LEDs, users can easily check the status of the ADAM-2000 by pressing a button on the side of the ADAM-2000. 1.1.6 Industrial Standard Modbus Protocol Modbus is an industrial standard serial communication protocol, and a commonly available way of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for commu-

nication between many devices connected to the same network. Modbus RTU is used in serial communication and makes use of a compact binary representation of the data for protocol communication. The RTU format follows the commands/data with a cyclic redundancy check checksum as an error check mechanism to ensure the reliability of data. 1.1.7 SCADA Software Support ADAM-2000 supports industrial standard Modbus protocol and can be integrated into Advantech HMI- WOP, SCADA - WebAccess and 3rd party HMI. With the different ADAM-2000 modules, it is able to acquire signal from digital input, analog input, tem-

perature, humidity and concentration then the signals can be apply to your applica-

tion. 1.1.8 Advantech Software Alignment As with all other ADAM devices, the ADAM-2000 series is integrated into the AdamA-

pax .NET Utility, therefore users will have an identical user experience. With the pow-

erful Advantech software, only a few steps are required to search and configure the ADAM-2000 series.

ing and easy deployment, but users must understand its limitations to enjoy the ben-

efits of the wireless technology. The Link Quality Indicator (LQI) of the ADAM-2000 displays how the facts below affect the wireless signal. Its indicator represents the Received Signal Strength Indi-

cation (RSSI) and the retransmission times of a packet. The better the LQI, the better the wireless data packet transmission quality. The limitation of the wireless communi-

cation range depends on following factors:

Transmission power Interference Antenna Performance Altitude above Ground Receiver sensitivity Line of Sight Shelter Free Space Loss 1.2.3.1 Line of Sight The distance of each node is defined as the clear path between the antennas which known as line of sight. Anything within the path will interrupt the radio transmission that interference the communication. Beware of the trees, buildings, moving objects, or other obstacles in between the antennas. C h a p t e r 1 U n d e r s t i a n d n g Y o u r S y s t e m 7 ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 1.2.3.2 Multi-path and Reflection of Signal When the modules used in indoor place, beware of the signal reflection. The reflec-

tion can help the signal cross the obstacle. It can also generate the multi-paths which will also cause signal attenuation. This is the reason why the transmission distance may be reduced in indoor place. 1.2.3.3 Distance between Different Types of Modules Following figure demonstrate the transmission distance between each type of mod-

ules. The distance between the modules with power amplifier can be around 1000m under clear line of sight. But if the module without power amplifier is used here, the distance will be restricted by the power of the antenna of the module. So the path will be around 110m. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 8 1.2.3.4 ADAM-2000 Antenna Pattern The antenna of the modules with power amplifier uses the Omni-directional antenna. Its antenna pattern looks like a doughnut as the figure on the left below. The cross-

sectional view of the antenna pattern is on the right below. The plane vertical to antenna has stronger signal, but the region on or under the antenna has lower signal. The modules including: ADAM-2520Z, ADAM-2510Z, ADAM-2017PZ, and ADAM-

2051PZ. The modules without power amplifier use a build-in antenna inside the module. The build-in antenna is shown as a white bar on the left figure below. Its antenna pattern is also looks like a doughnut which vertical to antenna. The modules including:

ADAM-2031Z and ADAM-2051Z. For improving better performance of signal, user may need to adjust the angle of the antenna to change the antenna pattern. Beware of the relationship of the angle between position of router and end-devices. The transmission distance of the modules is defined under the condition of clear line of sight. Following are the top view of antenna. The modules with power amplifier has less than 1000 m distance as the figure on the left, and the modules without power amplifier are less than 110 m.

tery to get power. 1.5.1.1 External Power Input Although the ADAM-2000 systems are designed for a standard industrial unregulated 24 VDC power supply, they accept any power unit that supplies within the range of

+10 to +30 VDC. The power supply ripple must be limited to 200mV peak-to-peak, and the immediate ripple voltage should be maintained between +10 and +30 VDC. Screw terminals +Vs and GND are for power supply wiring. Figure 1.8 Power Wiring Diagram 1.5.1.2 ADAM-2520Z Basic Configuration with USB Power Supply To use the USB cable as a power supply from a PC, connect the A Type USB con-

nector to the computer and the other end (USB Type B) to the ADAM-2520Z Gate-

way. 1.5.1.3 Battery Power Slot The ADAM-2000 series can be powered by batteries. Remove the name plate in the front of the ADAM-2000 series device and install 2 AA batteries for backup power or standard operation (depends on the power consumption of the devices). The ADAM-

2000 is powered by batteries only if the external power is not available. Note!

The batteries will not be charged when using external input power. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 14 Note!

If both external power input and battery power exist at the same time, that external power will have high priority of main power source. Note!

ADAM-2510Z router and ADAM-2520Z gateway are always in normal transmission mode during operation, and which power consumption will be higher than other end devices to shorten battery life, therefore, sug-

gest ADAM-2510Z and ADAM-2520Z adopt external power input for main power source and battery power for backup power source. 1.5.2 I/O Module Wiring The maximum wire diameter allowed for the terminal block is 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm. Always use an integrity wire. Keep wires as short as possible. The system uses a plug-in screw terminal block as the interface between I/O mod-

ules and external devices. When connecting external devices to the I/O modules, fol-

lows the guideline below. 1. 2. 3. 4. Use wire trays or wire holders to secure wires. 5. Avoid running wires close to high energy wiring. Keep input wiring and output wiring apart. 6. Avoid any sharp bend to the wires. 7. 8. Follow the (+) and (-) symbols on the side panel to wire correctly. 1.5.3 Communication Wiring In a WPAN, only the Gateway needs to connect to a host. The ADAM-2520Z is the Wireless Sensor Network Modbus RTU Gateway of the ADAM-2000 series and pro-

vides RS-422/485 and USB interfaces to connect to host. Users can choose one of the interfaces by pushing the switch to RS-422/485 or USB position.

Note! On the base of ADAM-2520Z:

1. Move the switch to the left to select USB as main communication interface. 2. Move the switch to the right to select RS-485 as main communica-

tion interface. For ADAM-2520Z, we recommend user to choose power source accord-

ing to its communication interface. Please avoid the operation that insert USB power source and external power source at the same time.

There are two types of communica-

tions modules: the coordinator and the router. A coordinator is essential to associate an Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and as a data collector of the WPAN. Only one coordinator available in a specified WPAN of a specified RF channel. A coordinator also acts as a gateway to translate data packets between two different networks. The router is optional in a PAN. The major function of a router is to repeat the wire-

less signal to improve the LQI. With routers, a PAN can be easily extended. More routers in a PAN means larger coverage and capacity of the network.

teries 4.1.3 Perform a Wireless Sensor Network Coordinator, Router and End Device are three basic elements of the Wireless Sensor Network. Each of them has different functions. All the nodes have to set the same PAN ID and RF channel to perform the communication. A Coordinator is essential to associate a PAN of the Wireless Sensor Network in a specific PAN ID and RF channel. It is also a data collector of the PAN and usually works as a gateway to translate wireless data into any other data formats, such as Modbus RTU. A router is optional in a PAN. It works as a wireless repeater to enhance the wireless signal strength and selects the optimistic path for a end node to route data back to the coordinator. A PAN with routers can make the network work as tree or mesh topology. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 34 An End Device (End Node) is the basic element to acquire the physical signals and data from I/O, sensor and even communication interface. It can be designed for many different functions and is possible for standalone applications by battery-power.

Ask the customer for the maps and collect the information in previous chapter the more the merrier. 2. Check with the customer for the possible position to install the coordinator. 3. Prepare the following items:

Setup all modules ADAM-2520Z *1 ADAM-2510Z *8, it depends on the area of site, 8 router can organize two 5-

hop network ADAM-2051PZ *1 2 AA batteries for the above modules Set all modules in same PAN ID and RF Channel. The RF Channel suggests to be set to channel 15 or 20 to avoid the interference of WLAN. Set all modules' data cycle to 5 second. Set all modules as individual ID address. Install batteries for all modules. Switch all modules to normal mode and use utility to check all modules are work. Switch all modules to initial mode and remove the batteries. 4.4.2 Onsite Survey Setup Coordinator 1. When arriving the site, power up ADAM-2520Z with batteries and switch it to normal mode. Install ADAM-2520Z at the place that can be seen from most of the place or cor-

ner to ensure the signal can be easier to be accessed. Add Router If possible, do not install on the concrete wall, heavy column, or girder.

A1:

1. The Coordinator is not hosting a PAN yet. The PAN ID and Channel might be occupied by another Coordinators. Change to different PAN ID and Channel in initial mode. The Router/End Device is not joining a PAN. Check if there is a coordinator with specified PAN ID and Channel to join. Battery level is low. 2. 3. 4. Network is associating. Q2: Why does the amber LED on Coordinator automatically add a count in initial mode?

A2: The Coordinator will automatically add the Pair ID while there is another Coordi-

nator nearby and can be detected. Q3: What are the functions of the amber LEDs in Router and End Device?

A3:

1. 2. 3. 4. Press side button 1 time for LQI. Press side button 2 times for battery level. Press side button 3 times for network association Press side button 5 times to change the Pair ID to associate with the specified Pair ID coordinator. Q4: Why are all the amber LEDs on coordinator blinking while operating in initial mode?

A4: Four Pair ID can be selected in initial mode of coordinators. If there are five coor-

dinators set in initial mode at the same time, the last one will blink to indicate there are no available Pair ID to use. Q5: Does the ADAM-2520Z support the HW/SW flow control of serial communica-

tion?

A5: The ADAM-2520Z does not support the HW/SW flow control and the user appli-

cation/software must turn off the HW/SW flow control. Q6: Can I use the rechargeable battery as the ADAM-2000 series power input?

A6: The ADAM-2000 can not use rechargeable batteries. Besides, the battery will not be charged while using the external power. We suggest using Energizer L91 Ultimate Lithium AA battery. Q7. Does the utility support Microsoft Windows 7 32 & 64 bit versions?

A7. Yes, AdamApax .NET Utility can support Microsoft Windows 7 32 & 64 bit ver-

sions from Advantech AdamApax .NET Utility Ver 2.05.02. Q8. While switching communication interface from RS-485 to USB, it sometimes will cause USB unworkable. A8. If this situation occurs, re-plug in the USB cable. ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 78 and perso with B.2 Notice 1. When there are 4 set of devices being coordinated at the same time, the level Index light will be lit by turns. 2. Devices in initial mode will in high power consumption status, beware of your power status when using batteries. 3. When using the AdamApax .NET Utility the initial value of an ADAM-2051Z is 1. The ADAM-2051Z also supports dry contacts. If customers want to connect an ADAM-2000 model with SCADA software, they can use AdamApax .NET Utility to get ADAM-2000 system parameters then SCADA software can connect them according these parameters. 4. 5. ADAM-2000 models do not support the My Favorite function in the AdamApax

.NET Utility. 6. When two set of devices are to be coordinated at the same time, the second set router and end-device connect to first set of devices. 7. When there are 2 sets of devices to coordinate with at the same time, they need to reset power to re-initial PAN ID if they want to connect to another set. The device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 8.
