A6500-CC System Communication Card

The ModBus and Rack Interface Module is designed for high reliability for the plant’s
most critical rotating machinery. It reads parameters from all AMS A6500 ATG modules
and outputs these parameters through ModBus TCP/IP and/or ModBus RTU (serial).
In addition, OPC UA is available for data transmission to third party systems.
This 1-slot monitor is used together with other AMS A6500 ATG monitors to build
a complete API 670 machinery protection monitor. Applications include steam, gas,
compressors, and hydro turbo machinery.
Operators are provided machinery health parameters in the control environment for
seamless integration. The module powers local graphical displays at the protection
rack for machine and instrumentation readout. Either ModBus TCP/IP or ModBus RTU
or OPC UA can be configured, or for redundant path, can be used simultaneously

With the addition of this impact data, users can monitor the start-up and coast down of critical turbo machinery for safe
operation and receive the earliest indications of developing faults in gearboxes and bearings.
What about the shocking repair costs, missed production goals, and unfulfilled customer commitments associated
with a trip or a missed trip?
With the AMS 6500 ATG protection system users benefit with prediction monitoring of critical assets from the same cards,
without the additional cost of another system, and production impact is virtually non-existent. Greater flexibility of the cards
will help with fewer inventory spares, as well.
Real-time machinery health feedback integrates to digital control systems so you can run your plant with confidence.
