ADAM-4060/4068/4069 – RS-485 Relay Output Modules by Advantech

The ADAM-4060, ADAM-4068, and ADAM-4069 series by Advantech represents a versatile family of RS-485 relay output modules designed for industrial automation and control applications. The ADAM-4060 provides a compact 4-channel solution with 2 Form A and 2 Form C relays rated at 2A at 30VDC, ideal for smaller switching applications. The ADAM-4068 expands capability to 8 channels with 4 Form A and 4 Form C relays offering 1A at 30VDC contact rating and faster 50 operations per minute switching speed. For high-power requirements, the ADAM-4069 delivers 8-channel power relay output with impressive 5A at 250VAC and 5A at 30VDC contact ratings, featuring 1000VAC breakdown voltage for enhanced isolation. All modules communicate via RS-485 using both ASCII command and Modbus RTU protocols, enabling seamless integration with industrial control systems and SCADA platforms. The robust design operates across an unregulated 10-30VDC input voltage range and -10 to 70°C operating temperature, ensuring reliable performance in demanding factory environments. Built-in system watchdog timers with 1.6 second timeout provide fail-safe operation, while communication watchdog functionality on the ADAM-4068 and ADAM-4069 adds additional reliability. The plug-in terminal block connectors accommodate 14 to 28 AWG wiring for easy installation. Compact dimensions with DIN rail and panel mounting options enable flexible deployment in control cabinets and enclosures. These modules are certified FCC and CE compliant and RoHS conformant. Applications span factory automation, process control, building management systems, and remote equipment switching across manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure sectors.
