Advantech ADAM-6050 12DI/6DO Ethernet Digital I/O Module
Description
A 12-input, 6-output Ethernet I/O module for remote monitoring and control
The Advantech ADAM-6050 is an 18-channel isolated digital I/O module for Ethernet networks, with 12 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs in one DIN-rail housing. It speaks Modbus/TCP, and the D version adds MQTT and SNMP, so panel signals such as pump run status, valve limit switches, alarms and start commands can be read by a PLC, SCADA system or cloud service over a standard network. Built-in peer-to-peer mapping and Graphic Condition Logic (GCL) let the module move I/O status between modules and run simple logic rules without a separate controller.

ADAM-6050 compared with its siblings
The datasheet groups three digital I/O modules. The ADAM-6050 offers 12 inputs and 6 sink outputs. The ADAM-6051 has 12 inputs, 2 counter inputs and 2 outputs. The ADAM-6052 has 8 inputs and 8 source-type outputs rated 1 A per channel with over-current protection. Choose the ADAM-6050 when you need the most inputs with moderate output current; choose the ADAM-6052 for PNP-type loads. For analog signals over Ethernet see the Advantech ADAM-6017, or browse PLC and I/O cards.
What to confirm before ordering
State whether you need the standard or D version (for MQTT, SNMP and the wider temperature range), the input wiring (dry or wet contact) and the output load. Outputs are sink type, so confirm they suit your relays or coils. Send the part number and quantity for a quotation.

About brand
ADAM modules are how many instrument and SCADA engineers first come across Advantech. The Taiwanese company, founded in 1983 and based in Taipei, makes industrial computers, remote I/O and communication hardware. Seven Star LLC supplies Advantech automation products to system integrators and plant teams in Oman, and this page lists items such as an ADAM-6000 Ethernet I/O module, an ADAM-4000 serial converter and an IPC rackmount chassis.
Advantech ADAM and IPC products listed here
The ADAM-6017 is an 8-channel analog input module from the ADAM-6000 Ethernet I/O family. It brings voltage and current signals onto a network and is read by SCADA or PLC software over Modbus TCP. The ADAM-4520 belongs to the ADAM-4000 serial family and converts RS-232 to isolated RS-422 or RS-485, a common fix for linking a PC or panel to field devices. The IPC-623 is a 4U, 20-slot rackmount chassis that houses a backplane, CPU card and expansion cards for control room computers.
Ordering Advantech hardware: what we need
Send the full part number with its suffix. Advantech adds letters after the model, as in ADAM-6017-D, to mark the hardware revision, and existing configurations sometimes depend on it. For an IPC chassis, state the backplane, power supply and drive bay arrangement, since these are ordered as specific versions. We supply across the GCC and check part numbers against Advantech documentation.
