Application

The AMS 6500 configuration software for machinery protection

allows you to configure protection modules, view real-time

vibration monitor system and sensor health.

The intuitive configuration process starts by selecting a card

type. Next, the configuration software presents a simple tabular

view with all configuration settings visible. Tabs help you sort

information between inputs, outputs, advanced machine

diagnostics and administrative tasks. Permissible ranges are

visible for every required entry to help you understand the

bounds of parameters. Preset parameters are automatically

loaded when Emerson sensors and convertors are used.

Real-time data can be displayed during system configuration

to verify that wiring, card settings, and instrumentation are

healthy and configured properly. Real-time information such

as gap voltages, waveform data, and overall vibration data

are viewable.

On-going maintenance functions, such as resetting latching

relays or loading a saved configuration, can be easily performed

from the software. The software can run on PCs or laptops.

Main Configuration Window

With the system configuration software, the following monitors

of the A6000 family can be configured:

A6110. A6120. A6125. A6140. A6150. A6151. A6210. A6220.

A6310. A6312. A6312-8. A6410. A6620. A6630. A6740.

A6740-10. A6824. A6824R

Basic Prediction Capabilities

The AMS 6500 configuration software has built-in capabilities

for some trends that allow basic troubleshooting and prediction

of the machinery. The main value trend shows a graphical

representation along with card health and alarm values. The

software displays the time function of the vibration signal, the

FFT analysis date with up to 400 lines resolution and the FFT

phase data. The software also displays the last startup or coast

down of the machine. The configuration software visualizes the

data and shows speed over time and vibration over speed for

each channel

Delivering Visibility to Asset Health 24/7

For some rotating assets and the processes associated with them, periodic route-based data collection is insufficient to indicate asset health. 

Online condition monitoring provides the frequency and types of data necessary to stay on top of developing issues during normal operations and to respond quickly to sudden changes during transient conditions.

 Emerson’s AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is a versatile, scalable system that can be deployed in a variety of configurations to deliver online condition monitoring exactly as needed for the application.
