Advantech ADAM-6050 | 18-Channel Isolated Digital I/O

The ADAM-6050 is an 18 channel isolated digital I/O module that combines 12 digital input channels with 6 sink type digital output channels in a compact Ethernet connected device. It is designed to collect on and off status signals from field devices and provide digital control outputs for industrial automation equipment, helping connect sensors, switches, alarms, indicators, and low current loads to networked control systems.

The module supports 10/100Base T(X) Ethernet communication with Modbus TCP, TCP/IP, UDP, and RESTful protocols. D version models additionally support MQTT and SNMP. Built in Peer to Peer and Graphic Condition Logic functions allow direct I/O mapping and configured logic actions without requiring an additional controller or programming. With 2,000 VDC isolation protection, a programmable watchdog, and support for operation from -20 to 70°C, the ADAM-6050 is suited to durable distributed I/O installations.

ADAM-6050 Digital I/O And Ethernet Control Features

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
