A Wig for Samson - the ADAM-5510
PC-based Programmable Controller
Imagine the following situation:
It has been two weeks since you applied that new PLC series
for field data acquisition and monitoring. Even though
it is eight o'clock at night, your engineers are still fighting
with piles of installation guides and user's manuals because
they are not familiar with the new system's configuration.
When will the system be operational and can your factory use
its full capacity? Next week? Maybe. However, the team leader
is now on the verge of a nervous reakdown so more pressure
is use-less. What will you do now? You feel like a bald headed
Samson - powerless.

This is not just a story, but a
real situation that system integrators have to face from time
to time. Though for de-cades PLC provides powerful support
as data acquisition controller or other functions, its proprietary
nature often discourages users This might be the wig for all you
Samsons: the Advantech ADAM-5510 PC-based Programmable Controller.
PC-based Open
Structure
PC with x86 CPU is the most prevalent computer
nowadays. ADAM-5510 is a PC-based controller with x86 core and DOS sys-tem.
It is simple and easy to use. Furthermore, it has an open structure,
which allows you to extend your system without difficulty. Any PC-compatible
de-vices and application pro-grams can be combined with the ADAM-5510.
The nightmare of proprietary systems no longer has to bother you. As
for Total Ownership Costs, the ADAM-5510 is definitely your best choice.

Power from Programming
C language is one of the most powerful
high-level computer languages that is also able to control the hardware.
The C language function library was especially designed for ADAM-5510
users. With adequate programming, you can precisely control ADAM-5510's
I/O functions, data storage and communications. Even more remarkable,
the ADAM-5510 is equipped with flash memory and battery backup SRAM.
These resources support your program and easily achieve your pre-set
targets.
Standalone to Reliability
The ADAM-5510 can be regarded as a human servant.
It has a brain (x86 CPU), it can sense (I/O modules), and it can listen
and talk (communication ports). If you give him the correct orders (programming),
the ADAM-5510 can work independently. It is not only user-friendly, it
also secures your system re-liability- you can implant failure-protection
codes so that hardware malfunctions are located instantly and minimized.
If you are limited by your budget or by time and if you have to set up
a data acquisition network or SCADA system, the ADAM-5510 and other ADAM
series can offer you an inexpensive, flexible, and reliable solution.
