Advantech has introduced its latest wireless I/O modules, the ADAM-2000Z series. These I/O modules use the IEEE 802.15.4 standard I/O and latest sensor technology while supporting 2.4 GHz mesh networking to provide flexibility and build a cost-effective distributed monitoring system. The wireless series includes five modules, a Modbus/RTU gateway, router node, I/O and sensor devices.

The series features low power consumption, ensured data integrity, Modbus/RTU protocol support, a 16-bit accuracy (for the AI module), and a wireless site survey tool in the ADAM Utility. With lower power consumption, the module has an internal compartment for two AA alkaline batteries that will keep the devices updated at 1 min intervals for a year.

In addition, the series supports the Modbus/RTU protocol so that it can be connected to other Modbus modules without any additional software or cost. The control of the series can be easily integrated into most HMI and SCADA devices using the Modbus/RTU protocol. To aid in configuration, the ADAM Utility includes the site survey tool for users to get a module’s status and wireless communication quality. The series can connect up to 32 nodes, including router and end devices.
