This universal measurement card offers exceptional flexibility for machinery protection applications. It accepts a wide variety of sensor inputs for comprehensive asset health monitoring. We engineered the Emerson A6500-UM as a core component of the AMS 6500 machinery protection system. This card seamlessly integrates with existing Emerson monitoring frameworks. It provides reliable signal conditioning for proximity probes, accelerometers, and other transducers. Consequently, your rotating equipment receives continuous, accurate surveillance.
Hardware Configuration and Physical Attributes
The Emerson A6500-UM features a compact Eurocard form factor for rack-mounted installations. Its dimensions measure 233.4 mm in height, 20.3 mm in width, and 160.0 mm in depth. The card weighs approximately 0.4 kilograms, making it lightweight for easy handling. This unit offers two independent measurement channels for simultaneous monitoring. Each channel supports a broad spectrum of input types and measurement modes. The card interfaces via a front-panel 15-pin D-sub connector and a backplane connector.
Input Versatility and Energy Specifications
This measurement card accepts both AC and DC input signals from various sensors. It supports eddy-current probes, velocity transducers, and accelerometers with ICP excitation. The Emerson A6500-UM also handles direct voltage and current inputs for process variables. It provides programmable gain and filtering to optimize signal quality for each sensor. The card draws its operating power from the AMS 6500 rack backplane. It typically consumes 5 Watts of power during normal operation. This efficient design minimizes heat generation within the instrument cabinet.
