Flexible Communication Port Function Connection(ADAM-5000E only)

The Flexible Communication Port Function prevents ADAM-5000E from system glitches due to communication line problems.

This function enables simultaneous connections via COM1 and COM2 port of your host PC to the RS-232 and RS-485 port of ADAM-5000E specifically. While working in conjunction with specific HMI software (e.g. AFX, FIX) that offers COM Port Backup Function, ADAM-5000E can circumvent failed communication on one port by switching to another available port to continue program execution.
