Advantech PC-based SoftLogic Control System Launch Now

The PC-based control market is fast growing and users are seeking new solution all the time. Advantech took advantage of this favorable wind to launch an integrated PC-based SoftLogic control system - the ADAM-5510/P31 in early April 1999. The ADAM-5510/P31 SoftLogic controller, taken together with Advantech Paradym-31software, incorporates HMI and control functions in one hardware / software solution, eliminating un-necessary hardware and lowering system integration costs.

Perfect for PC-based Process Control

The ADAM-5510 series is an ideal PC-based programmable controller; It is equipped with an Intel x86 based CPU running Datalight ROM-DOS. Two different kernels supported by two different programming languages are offered to meet different user requirements. For professional C/C++ IEC 1311-3 Compliance

programmers, ADAM-5510, with its built-in battery backup SRAM, is the best choice for complex logic or data storage applications. This module has successful launched in October 1997. Now the ADAM-5510/P31 provides a second choice. It has a built-in Paradym-31en-gine making it a perfect solution for traditional PLC users. The ADAM-5510/ P31 provides the following benefits that other PLC products can not afford.

  • Cost-effective AI/AO/Temperature I/O solutions save you money
  • Flexible RS-232/RS-485/Modem communication networking lets you easily expand your system
  • Built-in simulation capability reduces your project risk
  • Remote downloading and monitoring
  • IEC1131-3 compliant development environment minimizes your maintenance cost

Proven Applications in Various Industries

ADAM-5510/P31 RS-485 Networking ConfugurationA list of ADAM-5510 applications from many countries and many users demonstrates the benefits of PC-based SoftLogic control system. A few of these examples are briefly described as below for your reference. More details are given in Advantech ADAM application brochure. Please call us for one free copy.

Waste-water treatment plant in Beijing China

ADAM-5510's flexible COM ports (COM1 for field monitoring, COM2 for RS-485 communication) allow the ADAM-5510 to integrate plant data from widespread pools and to respond to the control center reliably and quickly. This system not only saves a great deal of labor cost but also improves the quality of the purified water and increases the total clear water throughput.

Unmanned telecommunication station monitoring system in Shanghai China

ADAM-5510's PC-based processing power and large memory is used to execute complex control logic processes and to handle alarms and events. Using its RS-232 COM port, the ADAM-5510 communicates with the control center using a modem. The system features easy programming and great flexibility in expansion allowing programmers to make any modification easily.

Rural traffic monitoring system in Korea

ADAM-5510's remote program downloading and resetting capability allows programmers to configure and download programs from a re-mote central control room. ADAM-5510's stand-alone capability and flexible communication ports allow a local control center to operate independently. In this application, a PLC system could afford such benefits only with increased budgets and tremendous engineering efforts.

Centralized elevator monitoring system in Taiwan

ADAM-5510's PC-based processing power makes it easier to integrate different systems, such as security, fire alarm, lighting, and access control systems. ADAM-5510's remote programming and program downloading capability reduces the number of local maintenance calls. This kind of PC-based control solution in community network systems is proven as a big potential market in the year 2000.

PC-based SoftLogic Controller of Greater Productivity

Advantech's line of PC-based SoftLogic control systems include the ADAM-5510/P31 SoftLogic controller, Advantech Paradym-31 - a SoftLogic control program design tool, and Advantech FX - a powerful distributed HMI/SCADA software. The combination of these three products creates a powerful integrated solution that is suitable for many applications.
