Advantech's ADAM-6100 Series

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/I

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.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
