Advantech RS-485 user manual Command Syntax Main Unit #aaSiCj ADAM-5000 = 0 to ADAM-5000E

Chapter 6

The command set is divided into the following five categories:

∙CPU Command Set

∙Analog Input Command Set

∙Analog Input Alarm Command Set

∙Analog Output Modules Command Set

∙Digital I/O Modules Command Set

Every command set category starts with a command summary of the particular type of module, followed by datasheets that give detailed information about individual commands.

Although commands in different subsections sometime share the same format, the effect they have on a certain module can be completely different than that of another. Therefore, the full command set for each type of module is listed along with a description of the effect the command has on the given module.

Note: Before setting commands, the user needs to know the type of main unit being used. If ADAM-5000/485 is being used, the "i" in Si can be set at 0 to 3. If ADAM-5000E is being used, the "i" in Si can be set at 0 to 7. This is illustrated in the table below:
