Quick Start Example
This chapter provides guidelines to what is needed to set up and
install a distributed ADAM-5000 network system. A quick hookup
scheme is provided that lets you configure a single system before you
install a network system.
Be sure to carefully plan the layout and configuration of your network
before you start. Guidelines regarding layout are given in Appendix B:
RS-485 Network.
Before you setup an ADAM-5000 system, you can follow the steps to
install I/O modules into the ADAM-5000 base.
1. Align the module with the grooves on the top and bottom of
the base.
2. Push the unit straight into the base until it is firmly seated in
the backplane connector.
3. Push-in the retaining clips at the top and bottom of the unit
to secure the module to the base.
The following list gives an overview of what is needed to setup, install
and configure an ADAM-5000 environment.
