ADAM-6050 Digital I/O And Ethernet Control Features
18 Channel Isolated Digital I/O Configuration
The ADAM-6050 provides 12 digital inputs and 6 sink type digital outputs in one compact module. This consolidated I/O design supports efficient control panel layouts and can reduce the number of individual devices required for field status monitoring and digital control.Flexible Dry And Wet Contact Digital Inputs
Each digital input channel supports dry contact and wet contact operation. Dry contact logic uses a closed to ground condition for logic 0 and an open condition for logic 1, while wet contact inputs recognize 0 to 3 VDC as logic 0 and 10 to 30 VDC or floating as logic 1.High Speed Counter And Frequency Input Capability
The digital input channels support 3 kHz counter input and 3 kHz frequency input. The counter function provides 32 bit counting with one bit overflow, enabling the module to support pulse counting, equipment cycle tracking, frequency monitoring, and production measurement applications.Six Sink Type Digital Outputs With Pulse Control
Six open collector sink type outputs support loads up to 30 VDC and 100 mA per channel. The outputs support pulse generation up to 5 kHz, along with high to low and low to high delay output functions for flexible signal control.Peer To Peer And Graphic Condition Logic Functions
Built in Peer to Peer and Graphic Condition Logic functions allow configured digital I/O actions without an additional controller. Peer to Peer and Graphic Condition Logic cannot run simultaneously, so one function can be enabled at a time.Ethernet Connectivity With Flexible Protocol Support
The ADAM-6050 includes one 10/100Base T(X) Ethernet port and supports Modbus TCP, TCP/IP, UDP, and RESTful communication. D version models add MQTT and SNMP support for expanded integration with IoT and network management systems.Industrial Isolation And Protective Features
The module includes 2,000 VDC isolation protection and power reversal protection to help support dependable operation in industrial electrical environments. A 1.6 second system watchdog and programmable communication watchdog provide further operational resilience.
