1. Definición del código del modelo

ADAM: código de serie para Advantech remote I/O modules

50: ADAM-5000 rack backplane series (plug-in design; must be installed on ADAM-5000 series chassis, different from standalone ADAM-4018)

18: 7-channel thermocouple & multi-function analog input

Suffix A2E/AE: Versión industrial estándar; ADAM-5018P = enhanced version with independent range per channel

Nota: Standard ADAM-5018 shares one range across all channels; the 5018P allows separate configuration for each channel.
