Advantech industrial computers and automation equipment
Select Advantech equipment for computing, signal acquisition, visualisation and industrial networking. Send a model list or describe the system requirements.
Equipment families and applications
Choose a category by the function required. For replacement, provide the installed device label; for a new project, attach the application requirements.
UNO embedded automation computers
UNO computers connect industrial equipment with supervisory and information systems. Start an equipment enquiry with the application, connected devices and installation constraints. Provide the full model code, suffix and hardware revision when replacing an existing computer.
List the LAN, USB, serial and display connections actually used by the machine. Include the operating system, application software and mounting arrangement. A photograph of the label and connectors helps distinguish similar configurations.
For a new installation, separate essential interfaces from optional expansion so the proposed computer can be checked against a clear requirement.
ADAM-6000 and ADAM-6200 Ethernet I/O
ADAM-6000 is an Ethernet remote I/O family, while ADAM-6200 includes Ethernet daisy-chain connectivity. Select the device from a signal list instead of the family name alone. Separate analogue measurements, digital inputs and outputs, then state the required number of channels.
For each sensor, include its range and wiring method. Identify the controller or supervisory application and the communication protocol already in use. A simple network diagram should show whether modules connect through a switch or form a chain.
Keep spare channels separate from active signals in the enquiry.
ADAM-4000/4100 serial remote I/O
The ADAM-4000/4100 families provide remote data acquisition through RS-485. The range includes analogue, digital, temperature, relay and counter functions. For an operating installation, retain the device address and serial communication settings.
State the sensor type for each temperature input, including the wiring arrangement for resistance sensors. Identify whether each output drives a relay or an electronic load. Provide the supply voltage and photographs of the terminal labels.
When expanding an existing bus, describe the current devices and intended additional signals so the required modules can be listed individually.
ADAM-5000 modular I/O systems
ADAM-5000 combines base units with separate input and output modules. An enquiry for a replacement module should identify the base, slot position and channel purpose. Photograph the complete assembly as well as the individual module label.
List the remaining modules in installation order and specify any required spare capacity. For counter applications, include the pulse source, frequency and measuring mode. Terminal blocks should be separate order items when they are damaged or required with a new module.
This information keeps the requested component tied to the actual installed system.
Operator panels, panel PCs and monitors
Advantech offers panel computers, operator panels, web terminals, thin clients and industrial monitors. Choose the category according to where the application runs: on the panel, on a remote system or on a separate computer connected to a display.
Include the screen size, panel model and cabinet cut-out dimensions. Photograph power, display and touch connections along with the mounting hardware. State the visualisation software and whether the project files are available.
For a display assembly enquiry, add the screen and touch panel labels so the required item is clearly identified.
EKI industrial Ethernet networking
The Advantech networking range includes managed and unmanaged Ethernet switches, PoE options and SFP optical modules. Define the required network functions before selecting a model. List copper and fibre ports, connection speeds and the devices already connected.
For PoE, identify each powered device and its power requirement. Optical links need the fibre type, connector, distance and existing SFP marking. A managed installation also needs requirements for VLANs, redundancy and configuration backup.
For replacement, include the current switch label and network diagram rather than relying only on the number of ports.
PCI and PCIe data acquisition boards
Data acquisition boards connect measuring signals to an industrial computer. Selection depends on the computer bus, channel functions and software environment. Include the full board number, slot type and available bracket height.
Separate analogue input, analogue output, digital I/O and counter requirements. State the required sampling rate and how acquisition starts in the application. Add the external cable and terminal board identifiers because these form part of the signal connection.
For replacement, provide a board photograph and driver details; for a new project, attach a channel schedule and operating-system requirements.
Power, storage and connection accessories
Specify accessories as individual items alongside the main computer or I/O module. For power supplies, include output voltage, current, polarity and connector photographs.
Storage enquiries need the existing device label, interface and physical dimensions, together with any data-migration requirements. For a cable, identify both ends, length, purpose and the documented pin assignment. Mounting hardware enquiries should show the assembly and hole spacing.
If several systems use different configurations, assign each accessory to the relevant system so the final equipment list has a clear and reviewable composition.
UNO-2372G V2 configuration
Advantech lists UNO-2372G V2 as a separate model using the Intel Celeron J6412 processor. The product documentation describes 8 GB DDR4 memory and an optional second stack for iDoor expansion. Keep the V2 designation and full ordering code in the equipment schedule.
When replacing an earlier UNO-2372G, describe the existing processor, software and connected peripherals. Identify whether the optional expansion is needed and what it must connect.
Record storage and operating-system requirements separately so the selected configuration can be compared with the machine application before ordering.
ADAM-6050 digital Ethernet I/O
ADAM-6050 provides 12 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs through an Ethernet remote I/O module. The manufacturer identifies the outputs as sink type. Include the sensor and load wiring diagram when requesting a replacement.
Specify the contact type on the inputs, output load requirements and the controller or application communicating with the module. Retain the exact hardware revision and firmware information from the installed device.
These details allow the electrical connection and protocol requirements to be checked for the requested version alongside the complete ordering code.
Software environment and commissioning
An industrial computer enquiry should include the operating system, application and driver requirements. Record versions and architecture, and establish whether installation media and configuration backups are available.
Describe licence or hardware-key requirements by type without sending confidential activation codes. Agree who will migrate the software, restore communication settings and perform the commissioning checks. A hardware purchase and a software migration can involve different responsibilities.
Keeping them explicit helps the equipment owner assess the proposed computer and prepare the maintenance window with the people who support the application.
Signal schedule for a new automation project
Create one row for each signal in the proposed system. Record its function, electrical type, range and connection point, then identify the sensor or actuator. Separate current and voltage measurements, dry contacts, pulse signals and temperature sensors.
For an output, specify the load voltage and current and whether a relay is required. Mark active channels and future capacity separately. Send the schedule with the controller model and network arrangement.
This gives the equipment enquiry a consistent basis for comparing I/O modules, terminal connections and the number of devices required.
Start with the process and the equipment role: what data must be collected, where the application runs and which devices exchange signals. State the essential interfaces, power supply, mounting method and operating conditions. Separate existing connections from future expansion. Include software requirements for a computer, cut-out dimensions for a panel and a connection diagram for a network. Identify who will configure and commission the equipment. For a purchase list, preserve the original model suffixes and quantities. When considering an alternative, agree the acceptable changes to dimensions, connections and configuration with the person responsible for the machine.
Spare parts and supply scope
For a module, cable or power supply, identify the main equipment and the purpose of the requested item. Attach label and connection photographs. Separate the main configuration, accessories and maintenance spares so each line can be reviewed before ordering. Identify different device revisions individually. Availability, price, lead time, documents and the supply scope are confirmed for the exact version; official dealership and compatibility based on a family name alone are not claimed. Software licences and commissioning work require separate agreement.
Send an Advantech equipment enquiry
Provide models, quantities, application and destination. Attach a specification, signal schedule or photographs of the installed equipment. If the full ordering code is unknown, describe the interfaces and the device function. For a repeat purchase, include the earlier equipment list with suffixes and revisions intact. Add a contact who can answer technical questions and review the proposed configuration.
