Wireless IoT Sensing Devices Low Power Consumption Design The ADAM-2000 series is designed for applications that require long-time operation without maintenance. Therefore power consumption is taken into consideration during its design. The ADAM-2000 series not only follows the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low-power consumption wireless communication, but also optimizes the peripheral hardware and firmware design to achieve uA-level power consumption. This allows ADAM-2000 input/output and sensor modules to be powered by 2 AA Alkaline batteries*. * WesuggestusingEnergizerL91UltimateLithiumAAbatteries. * Only the ADAM-2031Z and ADAM-2051Z support low power consumption. For other modules batteries can still be used as back-up power. M2M I/O Modules Overview Modbus RTU Protocol 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 Low-power Consumption Features Advantech's ADAM-2000 Series are wireless I/O devices designed for industrial systems and applications. ADAM-2000 Series Advantech provides ADAM-2000 series industrial grade Wireless Sensor Network I/O solutions for low-power consumption, cost-efficient and reliable networking for remote monitoring applications. It utilizes IEEE 802.15.4 wireless technology and supports star, tree and mesh topologies. Once the modules are configured, the ADAM-2000 series will automatically construct the most suitable network topology for your control system without further configuration. The ADAM-2000 series contains several models, including coordinator (gateway), router, analog input, digital input, and sensor modules. To perform as a Wireless Sensor Network, a gateway ADAM-2520Z is essential for collecting data from end nodes. With the Modbus RTU protocol, the ADAM-2000 series can be easily integrated into any SCADA or Modbus RTU compliant system.

With the global deployable ISM 2.4 GHz RF band, the ADAM-2000 series can be installed worldwide. Compared to a wired solution, wireless technology makes the network easily extendible and can be installed in almost any location, especially in distributed construction applications. Enhances transmission power and high gain antennas can expand network coverage. Enlarges highly effective network structure to reduce development costs and maintainable complexity in harsh applications. Provides self-forming and self-healing ability to cope with communication failures or node failures conditions. Low data rates and low duty cycles make it possible to act as standalone devices with batteries for a long term operation without maintenance. Industrial Communication and I/O Interfaces The popular industrial communication protocol Modbus makes the ADAM-2000 series easy to integrate with industrial systems and is also compliant with ADAM-4000 and ADAM-6000 wired solutions. Multiple I/O interface selection provides users plentiful sensor options. Chapter 14 Table of Contents Table of Contents
