Unlike master/client mode, Peer-to-Peer enabled modules will actively update input channel status to specific output channels. There will be a pair of modules : one input module and one output module. Users can define the mapping between input channel and output channel. Then the input value will be transferred to the output channel actively. |

No Controller Required |
|
| |
|
For Ethernet I/O modules without Peer-to-Peer functionality, a controller is needed to read data from the input module and then send data to the output module. With Peer-to-Peer solutions, the controller can be removed since data will automatically transfer. This not only simplifies the process, but also helps save system hardware costs. |

No Programming Required |
|
| |
|
To utilize Peer-to-Peer modules, the only thing required is to configure related setting through ADAM .NET Utility. No additional programming effort is needed, that it helps to save system development time. |

Simple and Flexible System Wiring |
|
| |
|
For some automation applications, if the PLC and the sensors are far away, one remote I/O module needs to be located near the sensors, and a proprietary communication network needs to connect the PLC and the remote I/O module, and the communications distance is severely limited. Moreover, networks provided by PLC manufacturers are rarely open. Peer-to-Peer modules can replace limited and closed networks with no limitations since they leverage the most open and flexible Ethernet networks. |

Flexible Channel Mapping |
|
| |
|
ADAM-6000 Peer-to-Peer modules provide two modes: Basic and Advanced. For Basic mode, channels on one input module are directly mapped to channels on another single output module. For Advanced mode, channels on one input module can be mapped to channels on different output modules. (Refer to figure below) |

|
Advantech Peer-to-Peer modules feature excellent execution performance in market. For wired modules, the execution time to transfer data from input to output module is less than 1.2 millisecond. As for wireless modules, the execution time to transfer data from input to output module will be less than 30 milliseconds with Ad hoc mode. |

Advanced Security |
|
| |
|
ADAM-6000 Peer-to-Peer module lets users decide which IP or MAC address has control authority. This can make sure the output module is only controlled by its paired input module. |

Advanced Reliability |
|
| |
|
When communication between a pair of ADAM-6000 Peer-to-Peer modules is broken, the digital output module can generate pre-defined value to ensure safety. |
