Anewtech-Systems-Ethernet-io-Modules-ADAM-6200-Advantech-Singapore

The ADAM-6000/6200 series, with its state-of-the-art IoT capabilities, offers direct cloud management and control of I/O devices. The integration of MQTT protocols and robust security features like X.509 certificate, Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IP allow listing positions this series as a top-tier solution for the future of distributed asset management.

Ethernet I/O Modules, AD-ADAM-6000 series, accomplishes this integration easily through the latest internet technology, so that it can remotely monitor the device status more flexibly. AD-ADAM-6000 modules are empowered by Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Graphic Condition Logic (GCL), and can perform as standalone products for measurement, control and automation with P2P and GCL technology. With the easy-to-use and intuitive graphic utility, system configurations can be done in an extremely short time.

AD-ADAM-6000 series models include Analog Input/Output Modules and Digital Input/Output Modules. AD-ADAM-6100 series is a new line of Industrial profinet I/O modules, equipped with the profinet protocol, allows daisy chain connections, making it possible to transfer data much faster during process control and other industrial automation applications.

Case Study: Building a Connected IoT Infrastructure to Achieve Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Efficiency

Anewtech-Systems-Ethernet-io-Modules-ADAM-6017-Advantech-Singapore

Background
BESS helps store excess energy from renewable sources like solar and wind power, enabling peak shaving, load shifting, and smart energy management. A leading energy storage system provider in the United States utilized Advantech solutions to integrate IoT technologies into BESS, enhancing efficiency and achieving balanced energy utilization

Project Requirements
The BESS requires sustainable IoT solutions to prevent battery unit damage and optimize BESS performance, as well as delivering stable operating conditions for BESS by monitoring and controlling the ECS.

System Description

HVAC systems play a crucial role in the ECS as it determines temperature control, humidity regulation, ventilation and alarms for BESS. To effectively control a HVAC system in BESS, we leveraged ADAM-6017 (alternatively can be ADAM-6200/6700 series) cloud I/O modules to handle I/O control processes and alarm/event notifications.

Conclusion
ADAM-6017, equipped with new cloud I/O functions, is optimal for minimizing maintenance efforts in highly distributed BESS containers. Its MQTT-based cloud management feature, along with X.509, TLS, and IP whitelist security, combined with remote access and OTA capabilities, enables users to efficiently manage ADAM I/O across multiple sites from the cloud. This facilitates monitoring of HVAC status to ensure the performance and safety of grid-scale BESS.
