Advantech ADAM-6000: 14-Channel Isolated Digital I/O Modbus TCP Module with 2-Channel Counter
The Advantech ADAM-6000 is a premier 14-channel isolated digital I/O module designed to elevate automation systems through robust Modbus TCP connectivity and a built-in 2-channel counter. Engineered for reliability in demanding industrial environments, this compact module delivers precise digital input/output control while isolating critical controllers from electrical noise, surges, and ground loops. With its Ethernet-based Modbus TCP interface, it integrates seamlessly into modern control networks, SCADA, and MES ecosystems, enabling scalable remote monitoring, data logging, and real-time process control. Whether you're upgrading legacy hardware or constructing a new, IoT-enabled automation architecture, the ADAM-6000 provides the foundational flexibility, resilience, and performance required for consistent operation across manufacturing floors and process plants.
- 14 isolated digital I/O channels offer versatile input and output options for a wide range of sensors, actuators, and switches. The galvanic isolation protects your controllers from electrical transients, improving reliability in vibration-prone or electrically noisy environments.
- Modbus TCP connectivity enables straightforward integration with Ethernet networks, PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems. This standard protocol streamlines data exchange, remote device management, and centralized monitoring across multiple devices and sites.
- 2-channel counter supports counting pulses from encoders, flow meters, or other pulse-based devices, enabling accurate speed, position, or rate measurements essential for process control and automation feedback loops.
- Compact, rugged DIN-rail design fits neatly within control cabinets, minimizing space while delivering durable operation across a wide temperature range and in EMI-heavy environments typical of manufacturing facilities.
- Flexible I/O configuration and scalability compatible with the Advantech ADAM-6000 family, allowing you to expand your automation network as needs grow—reducing integration time and simplifying maintenance while maintaining consistent software and hardware interfaces.
