548 Advantech's ADAM-6100 series is a new line of industrial Ethernet remote Input/Output (I/O) modules, seven of which are designed with the Ethernet/IP protocol and seven based on Profinet. Four of the Ethernet/IP-based modules have just been released, the 6150EI, a 15-channel isolated digital I/O Ethernet/IP module, the 6151EI, a 16-channel isolated digital input Ethernet/IP module, the 6156EI, a 16-channel isolated digital output Ethernet/IP module, and the ADAM-6160EI, a six-channel relay output Ethernet/IP module.

Designed with 2,500 VDC isolation protections, these modules are resistant to field interference and allow daisy chain connections, making it possible to transfer data much faster. The ADAM-6100 series can also be mounted in different ways depending on different field situations, such as DIN-rail mounting, wall mounting, and piggybacked. More importantly, Advantech's ADAM.Net Utility comes bundled with each module, allowing users to configure, set and test the modules through the Ethernet.

They often appear far more upset that the information system does not give them an update on road conditions, train services or bus arrival times than they are about the a
