We got one of ADAM 5000 TCP from Advantech some days ago. It looks like this:
ADAM 5000 TCP Base and Module
We aimed to enable communication with it through Modbus protocol over Ethernet. Thanks to many libraries inside of our system for industrial registering, we got it working in some hours. Currently, we already have a library ADAM 5000 TCP that handles everything around reading and writing to the hardware.
During all those tests, we agreed that we were very happy with the results of this hardware, and the price is not as high as other hardware of the same category and quality. In addition, we have to say that its internal CPU allows uploading programs to handle its behaviour, and the language for programming is C.
I got some days ago the new ADAM 5510E TCP. It is nicer than ADAM 5000TCP that we showed in August. We will not show photos of it this time because it looks the same as its brother ADAM 5000TCP. What makes the new ADAM better? Mainly that we can get inside to program it with C. What is it inside? How to get inside? Through the RS-232 port for programming like this screenshot: What software is included with it? What can I do with it?: You can program yourself in […]
The Challenge I recently took on the challenge of modernising a Labelmate PM-300-CS dispensing machine. Ideally, I wanted to control this industrial hardware from my computer, so I decided to interface an ESP32 microcontroller. However, there was a major hurdle: the machine operates on 15V logic with noisy motors, while the delicate ESP32 operates on 3.3V. Connecting […]
