Advantech ADAM-4017 Data Acquisition Module

Advantech ADAM-4017 is an 8-channel analog input remote I/O module that communicates over RS-485 using the Modbus RTU protocol, enabling a host controller, PLC, or PC to poll eight independent signals from a single device. It converts sensor voltage or current into digital data with a 16-bit sigma‑delta ADC, providing precise measurements for industrial data acquisition. This module is designed for distributed sensing in industrial environments, simplifying integration with existing automation systems through its Modbus-compatible communications over a dedicated RS-485 link. With eight independent channels, the ADAM-4017 supports multi‑point sensing for applications that require collecting data from multiple sensors across a single chassis or remote location. Common use cases include factory automation, process monitoring, environmental sensing, and equipment condition monitoring, where reliable, scalable collection of analog signals is essential. The ADAM-4017 is part of Advantech’s ADAM 4000 family of data acquisition modules, offering a robust remote I/O solution that couples straightforward wiring with widely supported Modbus communication to deliver actionable insights from in‑field sensors.
