Frequently Asked Questions - ADAM-6700E-A Advantech

What is the ADAM-6700E-A used for?

The ADAM-6700E-A is an Ethernet remote I/O module used for monitoring and controlling analog signals over a network. It is commonly used in industrial automation and data acquisition systems.

How do I connect the ADAM-6700E-A to my network?

Connect an Ethernet cable from your switch or PC to the RJ45 port on the module. Use a standard Category 5e or better cable. The module supports 10/100 Base-T and uses the Modbus TCP protocol.

What is the input voltage range for analog inputs?

The module supports multiple input ranges: ±10 V, ±5 V, ±1 V, ±100 mV for voltage, and 0-20 mA for current. The range can be configured via software. Use the ADAM Utility or Modbus commands to set the range.

Can I use the ADAM-6700E-A in a harsh environment?

The module has an operating temperature range of -10 to 70 °C and IP20 rating. It should be installed in a clean, dry indoor environment. For outdoor use, place it in a suitable enclosure.

How do I configure the module?

Use the Advantech ADAM Utility software available on the official website. Connect via Ethernet, assign an IP address, and configure input ranges, calibration, and communication parameters. The module also supports web-based configuration via HTTP.

What is the power supply requirement?

The module requires a DC power supply of 10 to 30 VDC, with a maximum consumption of 2.5 W. Use a regulated power supply. Connect positive to V+ and negative to GND terminals.

Is the input isolated?

Yes, the analog inputs are isolated from the network port with 3000 VDC isolation. This protects the module and connected equipment from ground loops and voltage spikes.

How many analog channels does it have?

The ADAM-6700E-A has 8 differential or 16 single-ended analog input channels. The configuration is selectable via jumpers inside the module. Refer to the manual for jumper settings.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are available on the Advantech support website. Use the ADAM Utility software to upload the firmware file. Ensure the module is connected via Ethernet and powered on during the update.

What do the LEDs indicate?

There are three LEDs: Power (green) indicates power is applied; Link/Activity (yellow/green) indicates Ethernet link status and data activity; Status (green/red) indicates module status (green = normal, red = error).

This Quick Start Guide demonstrates how to use ADAM-6700E, USB to MiniPCIe Adaptor Module, to extend wireless communication for ADAM-6700 series.

ADAM-6700 Web Utility Configuration

To obtain the gateway IP address, connect the LAN port of the ADAM-6700 device to your computer. Then use the ADAM/Apax.NET Utility, version 2.05.11 B19 or later, to obtain the IP address (static or DHCP mode). Please refer below steps

1. Enter the ADAM/Apax.NET Utility. Right-click the Ethernet icon and click Search Device.

Figure 1. 1 Web Utility Searching Devices

1. The ADAM/Apax.NET Utility will list the connected ADAM-6700 gateways and their IP address.

Figure 1.2 Web Utility Obtaining the Gateway IP Address

Note: Advantech has developed a web portal for configuring the ADAM-6700 series gateways. To access the web portal, users must obtain the IP address of the assigned LAN port. Then open a browser and type the IP address of the LAN port. The default IP setup mode is "DHCP".

• If the IP mode is set as "DHCP" and the gateway is connected to the DHCP server, type the IP address of the assigned LAN port.
• If the IP mode is set as "DHCP", but the gateway is not connected to the DHCP server, the LAN port will be automatically set to (Eth0)10.0.0.1 and (Eth1) 11.0.0.1

- If the IP mode is set as "static IP", input the assigned static IP address.

3. Open the web utility

Input the LAN Port IP Address in browser.

Figure 1.3 Input the LAN Port IP Address

After inputting the LAN port IP address, the web portal interface should be displayed. Click "Link" to navigate to the web utility configuration page.

Wi-Fi Network Setting

Users need to click Enable WLAN and set the SSID name and security of the WLAN to join the network. There are 3 optional security modes for the network:

1. Open : LAN is open. Users can enter the LAN without a password.
2. WEP: A type of authentication that encrypts the LAN and requires a password.
3. WPA/WPA2 PSK : A type of authentication that encrypts the LAN advanced and requires a password.
