Overview

The ADAM-3600-C2G from Advantech is a cloud-ready intelligent Remote Terminal Unit engineered for demanding industrial applications in oil, gas, and water management sectors. Built around a high-performance ARM Cortex-A8 AM3352 processor running at 600MHz with 256MB low-power DDR3L RAM and embedded real-time Linux kernel, this RTU delivers reliable processing power for remote monitoring and control operations. The unit provides comprehensive I/O capabilities with 8 differential analog inputs supporting multiple input types including ±10V, ±2.5V, and 4-20mA current loops, 8 wet contact digital inputs, and 4 open collector digital outputs. The 4-slot expansion architecture allows integration of additional ADAM-36xx series modules for RTD, thermocouple, analog output, and relay applications, offering exceptional flexibility for diverse sensing requirements. Communication versatility is achieved through dual mini-PCIe slots supporting simultaneous wireless options including Wi-Fi, 3G, GPRS, 4G cellular, and Zigbee, complemented by dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and RS-232/485 serial interfaces. The ADAM-3600-C2G supports industry-standard protocols including Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3 Level 2, IEC-60870-5-104, and MQTT for seamless SCADA integration and cloud connectivity via Azure IoT-Hub. Enhanced features include IEC-61131-3 and Linux C programming support, intelligent Connectivity Diagnosis Manager for remote port monitoring, batch configuration capability for up to 64 units, and data logging on SD card. With a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 70°C, 2000 VDC isolation, SSL/SSH cyber security features, and DIN rail or wall mounting options, it is ideal for inhospitable remote locations requiring reliable data acquisition and control.
