Built-in real-time clock and watchdog timer

The ADAM-5560 Series Controller also includes a real-time clock and watchdog
timer. The real-time clock records events while they occur. The watchdog timer is
designed to automatically reset the microprocessor if the system fails. ADAM-5560
Series Controller provides two types of watchdog timers. They are Operating System
Watchdog and KW application watchdog. It will increase the reliability of system and
make the ADAM-5560 Series Controller ideal for use in applications which require
high system stability.
SoftLogic Support in Windows CE 5.0

ADAM-5560KW Controller supports IEC-61131-3 programming in WinCE 5.0. The
five programming languages of Ladder Diagram, Function Block, Sequential Func-
tion Chart, Structured Text and Instruction List cover most of the PLC programming
languages in the market. The reliable PROCONOS runtime engine and powerful
MULTIPROG software from KW-Software empower ADAM-5560KW Controller as
the best solution of Programmable Automation Controller.
Process IEC 61131-3 standard with rich development environment

The standard IEC 61131-3 has been established to standardize the multiple lan-
guages, sets of instructions and different concepts existing in the field of automation
systems. The great variety of control concepts has led to an incompatibility between
the different control platforms and manufacturers. The result was a great effort to be
made for training, hardware and software investments.
IEC 61131-3 defines the syntax of 5 programming languages, defines a certain repre-
sentation and describes the different elements which can be used in the language.
The programming languages can be differentiated by the physical appearance into 2
textual languages and 3 graphical languages.

Textual Languages Graphical Languages
Function Block Diagram (FBD)
Instruction List (IL)
Ladder Diagram (LD)
Structured Text (ST)
Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
Cross-Language Programming
For some project integrate and scalable issues, cross-language can help you to
choose the different language for your project. For example, you can use ladder (LD)
on the simple I/O module control or simple logical expression and use Function Block
(FB) on process control for more advanced expression and use Sequential Function
Chart (SFC) for system configuration in hybrid control system such as Water Treat-
ment.
Figure 1.1 Cross-Language Programming
Deterministic I/O
ADAM-5560 Series Controller can guarantee deterministic I/O at 1ms. The feature
guarantees control and response speed at I/O level so HMI software or operations of
other application programs cannot affect the I/O control performance.

Real time multi-task engine
Chapter 1
ADAM-5560 Series Controller provides the multi-task and multi-program environ-
ment. ADAM-5560 Series Controller’s communication, data process and I/O access
tasks are working independent, so the system performance and efficiency are better
than traditional PLC.
Custom Function Block for complex control

ADAM-5560KW Controller allows custom function block for advanced control algo-
rithm such as fuzzy logic control or neural network control function. Users can define
Overview
their own function block for common use function or special domain know-how. The
control kernel also provides powerful floating point calculation and rich memory for
complex control.
Pre-defined function library

Advantech Multiprog provides many pre-defined function library such as maximum of
strings as string function block, Convert REAL to INT as type convert function block.
It helps you to build up your program more conveniently. It is more convenient than
the traditional control programming tools. With this pre-defined function, you can
make your project easier in timer control, variable type conversion or strings conver-
sion, etc.
Powerful debug / diagnostic / simulation / force tools

Advantech Multiprog provides lots of powerful tools for debug, diagnostic, simulation
and force function. It shows friendly interfaces when you use these tools. With debug
/ diagnostic tools, you can make it easier on trouble-shooting. Advantech Multiprog
simulator supports program verification offline directly on your PC. This is great in
case you are developing logic and you do not have access to a controller. To activate
an I/O simply click on the LED you want to energize and your logic executes as if it
was a real I/O. The program operation is the same as if you actually were connected
to the controller, so all the debug tools are fully functional: power and logic flow, I/O
force and overwriting. With force tools, you can check more exception situations and
check if the project handling right or wrong. It prevents the damage for you.
Online editing & partial download

Online editing is a MUST even though many packages do not support it. It is unac-
ceptable to shut down the machine or process to perform maintenance, not to men-
tion how difficult it is to debug when you have to switch back and forth from program
to run mode. Multiprog supports online editing so you can make changes and then
download the changes to the controller WITHOUT stopping the machine or process.
It helps you to maintain your system easier and save the cost for your system pro-
cess.
Rich support to ADAM-5560 I/O Modules

Most of the ADAM-5560 I/O modules are supported by ADAM-5560 Series Controller
including analog I/O modules, digital I/O modules and motion control module. All the
operations of supported modules are the same with the operations of ADAM-5510
series.
The ADAM-5560 Series Controller uses a convenient backplane system for
supporting versatile I/O modules. Advantech's complete line of ADAM-5560 I/O mod-
ules integrates with the ADAM-5560 Series Controller to support your applications.

2.3.3 Install Main Unit and Modules

While inserting modules into the system, align the PC board of the module with the
grooves on the top and bottom of the system. Push the module straight into the sys-
tem until it is firmly seated in the backplane connector. Once the module is inserted
into the system, push in the retaining clips (located at the top and bottom of the mod-
ule) to firmly secure the module to the system.
2.3.4 I/O Slots and I/O Channel Numbering

The ADAM-5560 Series provides 7 slots for I/O modules. The I/O slots are numbered
0 through 6, and the channel numbering of any I/O module in any slot starts from 0.
For example, the ADAM-5017 is an 8-channel analog input module. Its input channel
numbering is 0 through 7.

2.3.5 Mounting
Chapter 2
The ADAM-5560 Series Controller can be installed on a panel or on a DIN rail.
2.3.5.1 Panel Mount

Mount the system on the panel horizontally to provide proper ventilation. You cannot
mount the system vertically, upside down or on a flat horizontal surface. A standard
#7 tatting screw (4 mm diameter) should be used.
Installation
Figure 2.1 Panel Mount for ADAM-5560 Series
2.3.5.2 DIN-rail Mounting
Figure 2.2 DIN-rail Mounting

The system can also be secured to the cabinet by using mounting rails. If you mount
the system on a rail, you should also consider using end brackets at each end of the
rail. The ended brackets help keep the system from sliding horizontally along the rail.
This minimizes the possibility of accidentally pulling the wiring loose. If you examine
the bottom of the system, you will notice two small retaining clips. To secure the sys-
tem to a DIN rail, place the system on to the rail and gently push up on the retaining
clips. The clips lock the system on the rail. To remove the system, pull down on the
retaining clips, lift up on the base slightly, and pull it away from the rail.
2.3.6 Jumper and DIP Switch Settings

This section tells you how to set the jumpers and DIP switches to configure your
ADAM-5560 Series Controller. It gives the system default configuration and your
options for each jumper and dip switch. The backplane has one 8-pin DIP switch and
twelve jumpers on it.

2.4 System Wiring and Connections
This section provides basic information on wiring the power supply, I/O modules and
communication port connection.
2.4.1 Power Supply Wiring

Although the ADAM-5560 Series Controller is designed for a standard industrial
unregulated 24 VDC power supply, they accept any power unit that supplies within the
range of +10 to +30 VDC. The power supply ripple must be limited to 200 mV peak-to-
peak, and the immediate ripple voltage should be maintained between +10 and +30
VDC. Screw terminals +Vs and GND are for power supply wiring.
Note! The wires used should be sized at least 2 mm.
Figure 2.11 ADAM-5560 Series Controller Power Wiring
2.4.2 I/O Module Wiring

The system uses a plug-in screw terminal block for the interface between I/O mod-
ules and field devices. The following information must be considered when connect-
ing electrical devices to I/O modules.
1. The terminal block accepts wires from 0.5 mm 2 to 2.5 mm.

2. Always use a continuous length of wire. Do not combine wires to make them
longer.
3. Use the shortest possible wire length.\
4. Use wire trays for routing where possible.
5. Avoid running wires near high energy wiring.
6. Avoid running input wiring in close proximity to output wiring where possible.
7. Avoid creating sharp bends in the wires.
2.4.3 Connection of Communication Ports

The ADAM-5560 Series Controller has four communication ports. These ports allow
you to integrate the remote devices.

4.4 Modbus/TCP Server Functions
Chapter 4
ADAM-5560 Series Controller supports Modbus/TCP server function for connecting
to HMI/SCADA software. The Modbus/TCP server function is supported by using
Ethernet port of ADAM-5560 Series Controller.
4.4.1 Modbus Address Mapping

ADAM-5560 Series Controller reserves 16K Bytes memory space for Modbus function.
The memory block can store user’s data and exchange it through Modbus protocol.
The unit in Modbus 4X registers is Word so there are totally 8K Words available.
Modbus Functions
The Modbus address is defined from 42001 to 49999. In order to exchange the data
through Modbus, users need to move the data onto this memory block by setting the
memory address in “I/O Address” field manually. The memory address of this memory
block is defined from mw3.0 to mw3.15996. The mapping table of I/O Address and
Modbus Address is as following table.
I/O Address Modbus Address

%mw3.0 42001
%mw3.2 42002
%mw3.4 42003
...
Since unit of mw3.0 is Byte, users need to map the I/O Address and Modbus Address
as following.
For Bool data type:
I/O Address Modbus Address Length

Data 1 mw3.0.0 02001 1 Bit
Data 2 mw3.0.1 02002 1 Bit
Data 3 mw3.0.2 02003 1 Bit
For Byte and Word data type:

Data 1 mw3.0+ mw3.1 42001 2 Bytes
Data 2 mw3.2+mw3.3 42002 2 Bytes
Data 3 mw3.4+mw3.5 42003 2 Bytes
For Dword and Real data type:

Data 1 mw3.0+mw3.1+mw3.2+mw3.3 42001+42002 4 Bytes

line standard. It is specifically developed for industrial multi-drop systems that should
be able to transmit and receive data at high rates or over long distances.
The specifications of the EIA RS-485 protocol are as follows:

 Maximum line length per segment: 1200 meters (4000 feet)
 Throughput of 10 Mbaud and beyond -Differential transmission
 (balanced lines) with high resistance against noise
 Maximum 32 nodes per segment
 Bi-directional master-slave communication over a single set of twisted-pair
cables
 Parallel connected nodes, true multi-drop
ADAM-5560 Series Controller is fully isolated and use just a single set of twisted pair
wires to send and receive! Since the nodes are connected in parallel they can be
freely disconnected from the host without affecting the functioning of the remaining
nodes. An industry standard, shielded twisted pair is preferable due to the high noise
ratio of the environment. When nodes communicate through the network, no sending
conflicts can occur since a simple command/response sequence is used. There is
always one initiator (with no address) and many slaves (with addresses). In this case,
the master is a personal computer that is connected with its serial, RS-232, port to an
ADAM RS-232/RS-485 converter. The slaves are the ADAM-5560 Series Controller.
When systems are not transmitting data, they are in listen mode. The host computer
initiates a command/response sequence with one of the systems. Commands nor-
mally contain the address of the module the host wants to communicate with. The
system with the matching address carries out the command and sends its response
to the host.
A.2 Basic Network Layout

Multi-drop RS-485 implies that there are two main wires in a segment. The con-
nected systems tap from these two lines with so called drop cables. Thus all connec-
tions are parallel and connecting or discon- necting of a node doesn’t affect the
network as a whole. Since ADAM-5560 Series Controller use the RS-485 standard,
they can connect and communicate with the host PC. The basic layouts that can be
used for an RS-485 network are:
Daisychain
The last module of a segment is a repeater. It is directly connected to the main-wires
thereby ending the first segment and starting the next segment. Up to 32 address-
able systems can be daisychained . This limitation is a physical one. When using
more systems per segment the IC driver current rapidly decreases, causing commu-
nication errors. In total, the network can hold up to 64 addressable systems. The lim-
ita- tion on this number is the two-character hexadecimal address code that can
address 64 combinations. The ADAM converter, ADAM repeaters and the host com-
puter are non addressable units and therefore are not included in these numbers.

Chapter A
RS-485 Networks
Figure A.1 Daisychaining
Star Layout
In this scheme the repeaters are connected to drop-down cables from the main wires
of the first segment. A tree structure is the result. This scheme is not recommended
when using long lines since it will cause a serious amount of signal distortion due to
signal reflections in several line-endings.
Figure A.2 Star Structure

Random
This is a combination of daisychain and hierarchical structure.
Figure A.3 Random structure
A.3 Line Termination

Each discontinuity in impedance causes reflections and distortion. When a imped-
ance discontinuity occurs in the transmission line the immediate effect is signal
reflection. This will lead to signal distortion. Specially at line ends this mismatch
causes problems. To eliminate this discontinuity, terminate the line with a resistor.
Figure A.4 Signal Distortion
The value of the resistor should be a close as possible to the characteristic imped-
ance of the line. Although receiver devices add some resistance to the whole of the
transmission line, normally it is sufficient to the resistor impedance should equal the
characteristic impedance of the line.

Example: Each input of the receivers has a nominal input impedance of 18 k feeding
Chapter A
into a diode transistor- resistor biasing network that is equivalent to an 18 k input
resistor tied to a common mode voltage of 2.4 V. It is this configuration, which
provides the large common range of the receiver required for RS-485 systems! (See
Figure D-5 below).
RS-485 Networks
Figure A.5 Termination Resistor Locations
Because each input is biased to 2.4 V, the nominal common mode voltage of bal-
anced RS-485 systems, the 18 k on the input can be taken as being in series across
the input of each individual receiver. If thirty of these receivers are put closely
together at the end of the transmission line, they will tend to react as thirty 36k resis-
tors in parallel with the termination resistor. The overall effective resistance will need
to be close to the characteristics of the line. The effective parallel receiver resistance
RP will therefore be equal to:
RP = 36 x 103/30 = 1200
While the termination receptor RT will equal:
RT = RO / [1 - RO/RP]
Thus for a line with a characteristic impedance of 100 resistor RT = 100/[1 - 100/
1200] = 110
Since this value lies within 10% of the line characteristic impedance.
Thus as already stated above the line termination resistor RT will normally equal the
characteristic impedance Zo. The star connection causes a multitude of these discon-
tinuities since there are several transmission lines and is therefore not recommend.
Note! The recommend method wiring method, that causes a minimum amount
of reflection, is daisy chaining where all receivers tapped from one trans-
mission line needs only to be terminated twice.

A.4 RS-485 Data Flow Control
The RS-485 standard uses a single pair of wires to send and receive data. This line
sharing requires some method to control the direction of the data flow. RTS (Request
To Send) and CTS (Clear To Send) are the most commonly used methods.
Figure A.6 RS-485 Data Flow Control with RTS
Intelligent RS-485 Control

ADAM-4510 and ADAM-4520 are both equipped with an I/O circuit which can auto-
matically sense the direction of the data flow. No handshaking with the host (like
RTS, Request to Send) is necessary to receive data and forward it in the correct
direction. You can use any software written for half-duplex RS-232 with an ADAM
network without modification. The RS-485 control is completely transparent to the
user.

B Grounding Reference
B.1 Field Grounding and Shielding Applications
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to finish a system integration task at one time. We
always meet some trouble in the field. A communication network or system isn’t sta-
ble, induced noise or equipment is damaged or there are storms. However, the most
usual issue is just simply improper wiring, ie, grounding and shielding. You know the
80/20 rule in our life: we spend 20% time for 80% work, but 80% time for the last 20%
of the work. So is it with system integration: we pay 20% for Wire / Cable and 0% for
Equipment. However, 80% of reliability depends on Grounding and Shielding. In
other words, we need to invest more in that 20% and work on these two issues to
make a highly reliable system. This application note brings you some concepts about
field grounding and shielding. These topics will be illustrated in the following pages.
B.2 Grounding
B.2.1 The ‘Earth’ for reference
Figure B.1 Think the EARTH as GROUND
As you know, the EARTH cannot be conductive. However, all build- ings lie on, or in,
the EARTH. Steel, concrete and associated cables (such as lighting arresters) and
power system were connected to EARTH. Think of them as resistors. All of those infi-
nite parallel resistors make the EARTH as a single reference point.

B.2.2 The ‘Frame Ground’ and ‘Grounding Bar’
Chapter B
Grounding Reference
Figure B.2 Grounding Bar
Grounding is one of the most important issues for our system. Just like Frame
Ground of the computer, this signal offers a reference point of the electronic circuit
inside the computer. If we want to communicate with this computer, both Signal
Ground and Frame Ground should be connected to make a reference point of each
other’s electronic circuit. Generally speaking, it is necessary to install an individual
grounding bar for each system, such as computer networks, power systems, tele-
communication networks, etc. Those individual grounding bars not only provide the
individual reference point, but also make the earth a our ground!
Figure B.3 Normal and Common Modes

B.2.3 Normal Mode and Common Mode
Have you ever tried to measure the voltage between a live circuit and a concrete
floor? How about the voltage between neutral and a concrete floor? You will get non-
sense values. ‘Hot’ and ‘Neutral’ are just relational signals: you will get 110VAC or
220VAC by measuring these signals. Normal mode and common mode just show
you that the Frame Ground is the most important reference signal for all the systems
and equipments.
Figure B.4 Normal and Common Modes
 Ground-pin is longer than others, for first contact to power system and noise
bypass.
 Neutral-pin is broader than Live-pin, for reducing contact impedance.
B.2.4 Wire Impedance
Figure B.5 High Voltage Transmissions

What’s the purpose of high voltage transmissions? We have all seen high voltage
Chapter B
transmission towers. The power plant raises the voltage while generating the power,
then a local power station steps down the voltage. What is the purpose of high volt-
age transmission wires ? According to the energy formula, P = V * I, the current is
reduced when the voltage is raised. As you know, each cable has impedance
because of the metal it is made of. Referring to Ohm’s Law, (V = I * R) this decreased
current means lower power losses in the wire. So, high voltage lines are for reducing
the cost of moving electrical power from one place to another.
Grounding Reference
Figure B.6 Wire Impedance
B.2.5 Single Point Grounding
Figure B.7 Single Point Grounding (1)
What’s Single Point Grounding? Maybe you have had an unpleasant experience
while taking a hot shower in Winter. Someone turns on a hot water faucet somewhere
else. You will be impressed with the cold water! The bottom diagram above shows an
example of how devices will influence each other with swift load change. For exam-
ple, normally we turn on all the four hydrants for testing. When you close the hydrant
3 and hydrant 4, the other two hydrants will get more flow. In other words, the hydrant
cannot keep a constant flow rate.

Figure B.8 Single Point Grounding (2)
The above diagram shows you that a single point grounding system will be a more
stable system. If you use thin cable for powering these devices, the end device will
actually get lower power. The thin cable will consume the energy.
B.3 Shielding
B.3.1 Cable Shield
Figure B.9 Single Isolated Cable
Single isolated cable The diagram shows the structure of an isolated cable. You see
the isolated layer which is spiraled Aluminum foil to cover the wires. This spiraled
structure makes a layer for shielding the cables from external noise.

Chapter B
Grounding Reference
Figure B.10 Double Isolated Cable
Double isolated cable Figure 10 is an example of a double isolated cable. The first
isolating layer of spiraled aluminum foil covers the conductors. The second isolation
layer is several bare conductors that spiral and cross over the first shield layer. This
spiraled structure makes an isolated layer for reducing external noise. Additionally,
follow these tips just for your reference.
 The shield of a cable cannot be used for signal ground. The shield is designed
for carrying noise, so the environment noise will couple and interfere with your
system when you use the shield as signal ground.
 The higher the density of the shield - the better, especially for communication
network.
 Use double isolated cable for communication network / AI / AO.
 Both sides of shields should be connected to their frame while inside the device.
(for EMI consideration)
 Don’t strip off too long of plastic cover for soldering.

B.3.2 System Shielding
Figure B.11 System Shielding
 Never stripping too much of the plastic cable cover. This is improper and can
destroy the characteristics of the Shielded-Twisted-Pair cable. Besides, the bare
wire shield easily conducts the noise.
 Cascade these shields together by soldering. Please refer to following page for
further detailed explanation.
 Connect the shield to Frame Ground of DC power supply to force the con-
ducted noise to flow to the frame ground of the DC power supply. (The ‘frame
ground’ of the DC power supply should be connected to the system ground)
Figure B.12 Cable Characteristics
The characteristic of the cable Don’t strip off too much insulation for soldering. This
could change the effectiveness of the Shielded-Twisted-Pair cable and open a path
to introduce unwanted noise.

Chapter B
Grounding Reference
Figure B.13 System Shielding (1)
 Shield connection (1)

If you break into a cable, you might get in a hurry to achieve your goal. As in all
electronic circuits, a signal will use the path of least resistance. If we make a
poor connection between these two cables we will make a poor path for the sig-
nal. The noise will try to find another path for easier flow.
Figure B.14 System Shielding (2)
 Shield Connection (2)

The previous diagram shows you that the fill soldering just makes an easier way
for the signal.

B.4 Noise Reduction Techniques
 Isolate noise sources in shielded enclosures.
 Place sensitive equipment in shielded enclosure and away from computer
equipment.
 Use separate grounds between noise sources and signals.
 Keep ground/signal leads as short as possible.
 Use Twisted and Shielded signal leads.
 Ground shields on one end ONLY while the reference grounds are not the
same.
 Check for stability in communication lines.
 Add another Grounding Bar if necessary.
 The diameter of power cable must be over 2.0 mm2.
 Independent grounding is needed for A/I, A/O, and communication network
while using a jumper box.
 Use noise reduction filters if necessary. (TVS, etc)
 You can also refer to FIPS 94 Standard. FIPS 94 recommends that the com-
puter system should be placed closer to its power source to eliminate load-
induced common mode noise.
Figure B.15 Noise Reduction Techniques
B.5 Check Point List

 Follow the single point grounding rule?
 Normal mode and common mode voltage?
 Separate the DC and AC ground?
 Reject the noise factor?
 The shield is connected correctly?
 Wire size is correct?
 Soldered connections are good?
 The terminal screw are tight?
