Overview

1.1 Introduction

The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is a light-

ning fast and cost effective data gateway between RS-

232/422/485 and Ethernet interfaces. This unit imme-

diately upgrades your existing device(s) to the Ethernet

world. Functionally transparent and efficient, the

ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is specially

designed for remotely controlling and monitoring de-

vices via the Internet.

The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 provides

one, two or four RS-232/485/422 serial ports that can

each be easily configured for your needs. For increas-

ing the reliability of systems, the ADAM-4570 also pro-

vides three significant functions: Host idle, Device idle

and Auto-reconnect. The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/

EDG-4504 also supports transmission speeds up to 230

Kbps, meeting the demand for today’s high-speed ex-

change. Users can use a Windows utility to configure

the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 without

need for further programming. The ADAM-4570/

ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 not only protects your cur-

rent hardware investment but also ensures future net-

work expandability. Since the protocol conversion is

transparent, all existing devices can be seamlessly inte-

grated into the Ethernet network. Therefore, the

ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 can be used

in security systems, factory automation, SCADA, trans-

portation and more.

The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 inte-

grates both your existing human-machine interface soft-

ware (HMI) and RS-232/422/485 system architecture

with an Ethernet network. The result helps save cabling

space and software development cost. The ADAM-

4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 also provides a high-

performance RISC CPU and real time operating sys-

tem to reduce CPU load. These components make the

ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 more stable

and reliable. Another benefit is the ADAM-4570/

ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 allows users to remotely

download programs to a designated device via Ethernet.

This reduces the need for on-site maintenance and di-

agnosis. In addition, the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/

EDG-4504 comes with a Windows configuration and

port-mapping utility. This configuration tool can auto-

detect all Ethernet Data Gateway products on a local

network. It also lets users easily adjust all settings. The

port mapping utility helps to set up COM ports for one

Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP platform. This helps us-

ers manage all ports to meet their needs.

Host/Device Idle Protection empowers the reliabil-

ity of system (ADAM-4570)

For improving the stability of systems, users usually have

to spend lots of effort to build up “Redundant” func-

tionality. Now, the ADAM-4570 provides new pow-

erful functions that help users build up redundant sys-

tems fast and easily: The new functions are Host idle &

Device idle.

The purpose of the “Host idle switch” function is to

prevent system hang-up from occurring due to applica-

tion program failure. If the application program fails,

the ADAM-4570 will cut off the connection between

the host PC and the ADAM-4570. Another PC can

then start to access the same ADAM-4570. Also, if

4 ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 User’s Manual

the serial device or communication between the device and the

ADAM-4570 fails, the “Device Idle” function will switch the

communication port from one port to another port to keep com-

municating with another device automatically. Thus, another de-

vice can send data to the ADAM-4570.

Auto-reconnect after networking breaks

Sometimes, the system crashes because the ADAM-4570/

ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is interrupted or powered-off by ac-

cident. The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 provides

an “Auto-reconnect” function to solve this problem. When the

ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 is powered-off acci-

dentally, the driver will keep trying to reconnect the ADAM-

4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 automatically. When the

ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 recovers or is pow-

ered-on, due to this auto-reconnect function, the host PC can

send commands to the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504

again. This function enhances the reliability of the system.

Auto-detect Ethernet Data Gateway products

The configuration utility can search all the Ethernet Data Gate-

way devices on the network automatically and configure them

according to the current network status, saving your effort to

acquire the status information yourself.

Easy to diagnose the communication situation

If this test item is selected, an internal test will be done on the

RS-232 serial port, and the result (successful or failed) will be

displayed when the test is completed. If this test item is selected,

an external test will also be done to check that the connection

signals for each port are working properly. For the external test,

you will need to connect each port to a loopback tester. The test

Chapter 1 Introduction 5

is divided into two parts: Signal test and Communication Param-

eters test. If the results are OK, users can be sure the communi-

cation quality between host PC and ADAM-4570/ 4571 is OK.

Easy to maintain by downloading firmware remotely

Advantech continually upgrades ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/

EDG-4504’s firmware to keep pace with the ever-expanding

world of computing. You can use the Download function located

on the Port Mapping utility to carry out the upgrade procedure.
