Relay output module with Ethernet
March 2010
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
Advantech’s ADAM-6066 is a high power relay output module designed to meet the requirements of higher voltage applications. ADAM-6066’s sixdigital output channels are designed for 240 VAC, 5 A ratings, and support both dry contact and pulse output. ADAM-6066 has an embedded web server for remote monitoring, supports Modbus/TCP and UDP protocol to meet standard communication requirements, and offers personalised settings for improved flexibility. Its watchdog timer and host idle functions secure communication for reliable operation.
Due to its power relay rating the 6066 can satisfy most requirements for driving externally controlled devices such as lights, fans, alarm systems, and various electronic devices in industrial automation, security, building and home automation applications.
The module’s digital output channels support not only typical maintained contact output, but also pulse output signals. With pulse output signals, ADAM-6066 can be used for pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for time-proportional control applications, pulse-type start/stop control coils in motor control, and multistage lighting control applications.
The series comprises industrial-grade automation components with Ethernet connectivity for networked solutions in industrial automation environments. Its mixed I/O modular design optimises the performance and usage of I/O and minimises engineering efforts and maintenance costs. All modules are equipped with an embedded web server so that their data can be viewed, anytime anywhere via the Internet.

Case History 190: Measurement problem ruins level control.
Michael Brown Control Engineering
Editor's Choice Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
The widely held belief in many plants that tuning will solve all base layer control problems is completely fallacious. Bad tuning is generally not the main reason for loops to perform badly. It is important when performing optimisation that all elements in a loop are considered, in addition to the control strategy, before even thinking of tuning.
