ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 21.1 IntroductionADAM-2000 series is the wireless solution of the ADAM families and integrates theIEEE 802.15.4 standard, I/O and Sensor technologies known as Wireless SensorNetwork. Different from the wired solution, the flexible network capability makes iteasy to extend or construct a cost-effective distributed monitoring system for varietyof applications. Through popular industrial Modbus protocol, the ADAM-2000 can beintegrated into any HMI and SCADA system. The low-power consumption designalso makes it possible for standalone applications with batteries. The sensor embed-ded design provides compact size for specified application. With the ADAM-4000 andADAM-6000, the ADAM provides the total solutions of remote I/O. Please refer toFigure 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
3 ADAM-2000 Series User ManualChapter 1 Understanding Your System1.1.1 IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless StandardIEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless standard defined as Low Rate Wireless Personal AreaNetwork (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. IEEE802.15.4 is a low data rate, low power consumption, low cost, wireless networkingprotocol targeted towards automation and remote control applications. It is expectedto provide low cost and low power connectivity for equipment that needs battery lifeas long as several months to several years but does not require data transfer ratesas high as those enabled by Bluetooth. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard only defines thePHY and MAC layers. The working RF are 918MHz for EU, 868MHz for USA and2.4GHz for World Wide.1.1.2 Wireless Sensor Network The Wireless Sensor Network is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and inheritsall the characteristics. Coordinator, Router and End Device (or called End Node) arethe basic components to perform the PAN.A coordinator is the data collection center in a PAN and also plays as a gateway totransfer 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 toselect optimized path for wireless communication between coordinator and endnodes.An end node is a wireless remote I/O for data acquisition. The data acquires fromsensors or devices can be transmitted through it. The end node can communicatewith coordinator directly or via a router to coordinator.As traditional network, the Wireless Sensor Network provides the star, tree and meshtopologies for various applications.Table 1.1: Wireless SpecificationsFeature(s) IEEE 802.11b Bluetooth IEEE 802.15.4Data Rate 11Mbps 1Mbps 250KbpsPower Consumption Hours (High) Days Years (Low)Connection Very Complex Complex SimpleConnection Speed Up to 3 seconds Up to 10 seconds 30msExtendibility Roaming possible No YesReliability Low High High
ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 41.1.3 Low-power Consumption and Battery-Powered DesignADAM-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 802.15.4standard for low-power consumption wireless communication, but also optimizes theperipheral HW and FW design to achieve the uA-level power consumption: making itcapable of being powered using 2 AA batteries.1.1.4 Sensor Embedded DesignSensor embedded design makes the ADAM-2000 even better in some specified andcompact applications. The ADAM-2031Z integrates a temperature and a humiditysensor. The module is suitable for building automation, Green-house, environmentapplications which require the specified sensors. With the batteries installed into theADAM-2031Z no extra wiring is required to power the module.1.1.5 Wireless Signal IndicatorThere are LEDs in the front of the panel to display the status of device. The LEDs canindicate the device's status, wireless signal strength, battery power level and errorconditions. With the LEDs, users can easily check the status of the ADAM-2000 bypressing a button on the side of the ADAM-2000.1.1.6 Industrial Standard Modbus ProtocolModbus is an industrial standard serial communication protocol, and a commonlyavailable way of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for commu-nication between many devices connected to the same network. Modbus RTU isused in serial communication and makes use of a compact binary representation ofthe data for protocol communication. The RTU format follows the commands/datawith a cyclic redundancy check checksum as an error check mechanism to ensurethe reliability of data. 1.1.7 SCADA Software SupportADAM-2000 supports industrial standard Modbus protocol and can be integrated intoAdvantech HMI- WOP, SCADA - WebAccess and 3rd party HMI. With the differentADAM-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 AlignmentAs 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 theADAM-2000 series.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.2. For the choice of battery, we suggest Energizer L91 Ultimate Lith-ium AA battery.

7 ADAM-2000 Series User ManualChapter 1 Understanding Your System1.2.3 Wireless Communication RangeThought the wireless technology brings the advantage of flexibility, cost-effective wir-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 belowaffect 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 betterthe wireless data packet transmission quality. The limitation of the wireless communi-cation range depends on following factors:1.2.3.1 Line of SightThe distance of each node is defined as the clear path between the antennas whichknown as line of sight. Anything within the path will interrupt the radio transmissionthat interference the communication. Beware of the trees, buildings, moving objects,or other obstacles in between the antennas.Transmission power Receiver sensitivityInterference Line of SightAntenna Performance ShelterAltitude above Ground Free Space Loss
ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 81.2.3.2 Multi-path and Reflection of SignalWhen 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 whichwill also cause signal attenuation. This is the reason why the transmission distancemay be reduced in indoor place.1.2.3.3 Distance between Different Types of ModulesFollowing figure demonstrate the transmission distance between each type of mod-ules. The distance between the modules with power amplifier can be around 1000munder clear line of sight. But if the module without power amplifier is used here, thedistance will be restricted by the power of the antenna of the module. So the path willbe around 110m.
9 ADAM-2000 Series User ManualChapter 1 Understanding Your System1.2.3.4 ADAM-2000 Antenna PatternThe 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 toantenna 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. Thebuild-in antenna is shown as a white bar on the left figure below. Its antenna patternis 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 theantenna to change the antenna pattern. Beware of the relationship of the anglebetween position of router and end-devices.The transmission distance of the modules is defined under the condition of clear lineof sight. Following are the top view of antenna. The modules with power amplifier hasless than 1000 m distance as the figure on the left, and the modules without poweramplifier are less than 110 m.

ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 182.1 Selecting an ADAM-2000 Module2.1.1 Selecting a Communication ModuleCommunication modules are fundamental when needing to perform data acquisitionand control Wireless Sensor Networks systems. 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 specifiedWPAN of a specified RF channel. A coordinator also acts as a gateway to translatedata 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. Morerouters in a PAN means larger coverage and capacity of the network.Communication Module ADAM-2520Z, ADAM-2510ZI/O Module ADAM-2017PZ, ADAM-2051Z, ADAM-2051PZSensor Module ADAM-2031ZTable 2.1: Communication Module Selection GuidelinesChoose this communication module: DescriptionRouter Routers as a wireless signal repeater extends the transmission range and communication qualityGatewayA gateway collects wireless data from the end node and translate to other communication proto-cols, such as Modbus RTU.

Each of them has different functions. All the nodes have to set the samePAN ID and RF channel to perform the communication.A Coordinator is essential to associate a PAN of the Wireless Sensor Network in aspecific PAN ID and RF channel. It is also a data collector of the PAN and usuallyworks as a gateway to translate wireless data into any other data formats, such asModbus RTU.A router is optional in a PAN. It works as a wireless repeater to enhance the wirelesssignal strength and selects the optimistic path for a end node to route data back tothe coordinator. A PAN with routers can make the network work as tree or meshtopology.

Appendix BBTroubleshooting
ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 78B.1 TroubleshootingQ1: Why is the Error LED blinking?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.2. The Router/End Device is not joining a PAN. Check if there is a coordinator with specified PAN ID and Channel to join.3. Battery level is low.4. Network is associating.Q2: Why does the amber LED on Coordinator automatically add a count in initialmode?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. Press side button 1 time for LQI.2. Press side button 2 times for battery level.3. Press side button 3 times for network association4. 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 initialmode?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 thereare 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 notbe charged while using the external power. We suggest using Energizer L91 UltimateLithium 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 willcause USB unworkable.A8. If this situation occurs, re-plug in the USB cable.
79 ADAM-2000 Series User ManualAppendix B TroubleshootingB.2 Notice1. 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. 4. 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.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.8. 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.              and perso with    Note! ADAM-2000 models do not currently support Mod-scan. We will support this feature in the future.ADAM-2000 models do not currently support OPC sever., We will sup-port this feature in the future.
