Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The ADAM-4500 is a fully functional standalone controller, designed for industrial automation and
control, enclosed in a small package. It provides an ideal means of producing an IBM PC
compatible hardware platform.
Emulating Open PC environments
The module is much like a compact computer, and includes an 80188 CPU, 256 KB Flash ROM,
256 KB SRAM, COM1, COM2, and a program download port. Its built-in ROM-DOS is an MS-
DOS equivalent operating system, which provides all of the basic functions of MS-DOS except for
BIOS. A user can run standard PC software and application programs, written in high level
languages such as C or C++, within the ROM-DOS environment. Moreover, the module also
provides free ROM memory for application downloading and free RAM memory for application
operation.
Built-in RS-232/RS-485 Communication Ports
The ADAM-4500 has two communication ports to let the controller easily communicate with the
other devices in your application. The COM1 port can be configured as an RS-232 or an RS-485
communication interface via the jumper setting. The COM2 port is dedicated as an RS-485 port.
This unique design makes the controller suitable for use in a variety of applications.
Built-in Real-time Clock and Watchdog Timer

into the ADAM-4500, can function as the host computer.
Power supply
For ease of use in industrial environments, the ADAM-4500 will accept industry standard +24 VDC
unregulated power. The ADAM-4500 was designed to operate using any power supply voltage
between +10 and +30 VDC. Power ripples must be limited to 5 V peak to peak while the voltage in
all cases must be maintained between +10 and +30 VDC
.
Utility software
A disk containing menu-driven utility software is provided with ADAM-4500 to help users to
download programs to the ADAM-4500. The ADAM-4500 utility software is executed in an MS-
DOS or compatible environment.
Download cable
A customized download cable is included. A user can connect it between the COM port of a host
computer and the download port of the ADAM-4500 for downloading programs.
2.2 Steps to Successfully Setup the System

2.4 Communication Wiring
The ADAM-4500 offers two serial ports: COM1(3F8) in RS-232 or RS-485, and COM2 (2F8) in
RS-485. COM1 can be configured as an RS-232 or as an RS-485 interface via the jumper setting.
This provides flexibility for communications between the controller and other devices in your
application.
RS-232 Connection

The ADAM-4500 has a DB-9 pin connector as its RS-232 port connector. Since the connection
for an RS-232 interface is not standardized, different devices implement the RS-232 connection
in different ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin
assignments for the connector. The following table shows the pin assignments for the ADAM-
4500's RS-232 port.

RS-485 Connection
The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communication. This means that just two wires are
needed to both transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals (such as RTS, Request To Send)
are normally used to control the direction of the data flow. A special I/O circuit in the ADAM-4500
automatically senses the direction of the data flow and switches the transmission direction. No
handshaking signals are necessary. This RS-485 control is completely transparent to the user.
We recommend that shielded twisted-pair cables complying with the EIA RS-485 standard be
used in the network to reduce interference. Only one set of twisted-pair cables is required to
transmit both Data and RTS signals. We advise use of the following standard colors for the
communication cables.

Chapter 3 Programming and Downloading
This chapter explains how to program applications and download programs into the ADAM-4500
controller. Additionally, it points out limitations and concerns of which you should be aware.
3.1 Programming
The operating system of ADAM-4500 is ROM-DOS, an MS-DOS equivalent system. It allows
users to run application programs written in assembly language as well as high level languages
such as C or C++. However, there are limitations when running application programs in the
ADAM-4500. In order to build successful applications, you should keep the following limitations
and concerns in mind.
Mini BIOS Functions
The ADAM-4500 provides only two serial communication ports for connecting peripherals, so the
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
mini BIOS of ADAM-4500 only provides 10 function calls. Since the user's program can not use
other BIOS function calls, the ADAM-4500 may not work as intended. Additionally, certain
language compilers such as QBASIC directly call BIOS functions that are not executable in
ADAM-4500. The ADAM-4500 mini BIOS function calls are listed in the following table.

Converting Program Codes
The ADAM-4500 has an 80188 CPU. Therefore, programs downloaded into its flash ROM must
first be converted into 80186 or 80188 compatible code, and the floating point operation must be
set to emulation mode. For example, if you were to develop your application program in Borland
C, you would compile the program as indicated in the screen below.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Figure 3-1: Converting Program Codes
Other Limitations
1. The ADAM-4500 does not support the standard PC function "8253". Therefore, the C language
function call "delay ( )" cannot be used in ADAM-4500 applications.
2. Certain critical files are always kept in flash ROM, such as the operating system files, BIOS,
and monitoring files. Aside from the storage space needed for these critical files, the ADAM-4500
has an additional 170 KB of free ROM space for downloading user applications. An additional
free 234 KB of SRAM is provided for operation of applications.
Programming the Watchdog Timer
The ADAM-4500 is equipped with a watchdog timer function that resets the CPU or generates an
interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature increases system
reliability in industrial standalone and unmanned environments.
If you decide to use the watchdog timer, you must write a function call to enable it. When the
watchdog timer is enabled, it must be cleared by the application program at intervals of less than
1.6 seconds. If it is not cleared at the required time intervals, it will activate and reset the CPU, or
generate an NMI (Non-maskable interrupt). You can use a function call in your application
program to clear the watchdog timer. At the end of your program, you need an additional function
call to disable the watchdog timer.
The following program shows how you might program the watchdog timer in C programs:
Example:
main ()
{
wdt_enable();
/* enable ADAM-4500 WDT function */
/* user's function block */
{
.
.
wdt_clear();
/* clear WDT timer */
.
.
}
wdt_disable();
/* disable ADAM-4500 WDT function */
}
Interrupt Types
Three types of interrupts may occur in the ADAM-4500. The following table shows the types of
interrupts.

3.2 Downloading and Transferring
This section explains how to download application programs from a PC into the ADAM-4500 flash
ROM and how to transfer files from a PC into ADAM-4500's SRAM.
Install Utility Software on Host PC
A utility disk containing the following files and directories is included with each ADAM-4500.
. ALLFILE
. LIBRARY
. EXAMPLE
<DIR>
<DIR>
<DIR>
. ADAMMINI.HEX
. ADAM_DEM.HEX
. ROM-DOS.HEX
. DEMO-DIS.HEX
. ADAMMINI.BAT
. ADAM4500.EXE
. HEXCAT.EXE
. ROMDISK.EXE
Copy all the files and directories on the utility disk to the host computer hard drive.
Preparing the ALLFILE directory
Applications programs are downloaded from a host-PC to the flash ROM of the ADAM-4500
using the ADAM-4500 utility software. The ADAM-4500 utility software is first installed on a host-
PC. The directory ALLFILE will be included among the contents copied from the utility software
disk to the host-PC hard drive. The user must then load into ALLFILE the following required files:
The application program intended for installation in ADAM-4500; COMMAND.COM;
AUTOEXEC.BAT; and CONFIG.SYS. The user should make certain that AUTOEXEC.BAT
contains the name of the user's application program so that the application will automatically
begin executing whenever the ADAM-4500 is powered on. When downloading to the ADAM-
4500's flash ROM, the utility software first clears all non-permanent files from the flash ROM, then
installs all the files contained in directory ALLFILE into the flash ROM. It is therefore critical that
all the required files be available in directory ALLFILE when the utility software tries to install
ALLFILE's contents on the ADAM-4500's flash ROM.
Downloading into flash ROM (ADAM-4500's C-drive)
With the ADAM-4500 utility software and the directory ALLFILE, loaded with its proper contents,
installed on the host-PC, you can execute the utility software. After the utility software has begun
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
executing, select the COMport of the host PC that has been connected to ADAM-4500. Then
select "Program" from the bar menu and press <enter> to begin downloading. The screen shown
in figure 3-2 will appear.
Figure 3-2: Program downloading
Follow the instructions shown on the screen. Power off the ADAM-4500 and then re-power on.
Then press any key within 7 seconds to burn the files contained in ALLFILE into the ADAM-
4500's flash ROM. After the files are successfully burned into the flash ROM, the screen in Figure
3-3 will appear. Power off and power on the ADAM-4500 once again. The ADAM-4500 controller
will automatically execute the application program.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Figure 3-3: Download Complete
Transferring files to SRAM (ADAM-4500's D-drive)
The ADAM-4500 provides 234 KB of free SRAM for use in program operation, and as working
memory space in the event you want to test your system control logic or simulate system
performance before downloading the execution code to the flash ROM. You can transfer files
from a host-PC to the ADAM-4500's SRAM (D drive). Execute the utility software, select terminal
mode, and press Alt-T. File transfer will begin and the screen shown in figure 3-4 will appear.
Figure 3-4: File Transferring
Key in the specific directory and file names you want to transfer. Press <enter> to complete the
file transfer. You can check the files in D drive.
We recommend that users test new applications on their host PC before installing them in the
ADAM-4500. However, the performance of the host PC may differ greatly from that of the ADAM-
4500. Therefore, users may find it desirable to install an application that has been tested on the
host PC into ADAM-4500's D drive for testing prior to burning it into the flash ROM. It takes less
time to alter and reinstall a program into the SRAM than into the flash ROM, so using the SRAM
during debugging on the ADAM-4500 may be more efficient.
3.3 Steps to Building a Successful Application
Step 1: Write and simulate control logic on a PC
Connect a host-PC to the I/O device network you want to control. Write the control logic for your
application on the host-PC and execute the application on the PC to verify that it works properly.
Step 2: Connect the cables
Replace the host-PC in the control network with the ADAM-4500 and reconnect the proper power
and communications cable in the network to the ADAM-4500. Connect the download cable
between the host-PC and the ADAM-4500.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Step 3: Convert and download codes to flash ROM
Within the host computer, convert the application program into 80186 or 80188 compatible code.
Create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the application program and write the application program's
name in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Also create COMMAND.COM and CONFIG.SYS files for the
application program. Load the ADAM-4500 utility software into the host-PC. Load the converted
application program and the files AUTOEXEC.BAT, COMMAND.COM, and CONFIG.SYS into
directory ALLFILE. Execute the utility software to download the contents of ALLFILE into the
ADAM-4500 flash ROM.
Step 4: Power on ADAM-4500 to complete the application
After all the files in directory ALLFILE have been completely transferred to the flash ROM, re-
power on the ADAM-4500.
Chapter 4 Function Library
The ADAM-4500 is packaged with a utility disk that contains a directory called LIBRARY. This
directory contains a number of function calls that enable a user to efficiently write applications for
ADAM-4500. The library supports both Turbo C 2.0 and Microsoft C 6.0 version programming
languages.
The "LIBRARY" directory contains the following two sub-directories:

Appendix A Register Structure
This appendix gives a short description of each of the ADAM-4500's registers. For more
information please refer to the data book for the STARTECH 16C550 UART chip.
All registers are one byte in length. Bit 0 is the least significant bit, and bit 7 is the most significant
bit. The address of each register is specified as an offset from the port base address (BASE),
COM1 is 3F8h and COM2 is 2F8h.
DLAB is the "Divisor Latch Access Bit", bit 7 of BASE+3.

Receiver buffer register when DLAB=0 and the operation is a read.
Transmitter holding register when DLAB=0 and the operation is a write.
Divisor latch bits 0 - 7 when DLAB=1
Divisor latch bits 8-15 when DLAB=1.
The two bytes BASE+0 and BASE+1 together form a 16-bit number, the divisor, which
determines the baud rate. Set the divisor as follows:
