EMERSON A6500-CC central communication card

EMERSON A6500-CC is a central communication card and core data transmission hub of the AMS 6500 ATG Machinery Protection and Condition Monitoring System. It is specifically designed to integrate data from multiple measurement modules (e.g., A6500-UM, A6110) in the system, convert protocols, and transmit data to upper-level control platforms (such as DeltaV DCS or AMS Device Manager software). With stable communication performance, multi-protocol support, and remote configuration capabilities, it is a key component ensuring seamless data flow in industrial machinery monitoring systems. Below is its detailed information:

1. Core Technical Specifications

Parameter Category	Specific Details
Communication Protocols & Interfaces	- Downlink Communication (with System Modules): Internal RS485 bus (baud rates: 9600/19200/38400 bps, configurable), used to collect real-time data (vibration, temperature, speed) and status information from measurement modules (e.g., A6500-UM, A6110) in the A6500 rack.- Uplink Communication (with Upper-Level Systems):1. Ethernet port (10/100Base-T, RJ45): Supports Modbus TCP/IP protocol for data transmission to DCS (e.g., Emerson DeltaV), SCADA systems, or AMS Device Manager software.2. RS485 port (isolated): Supports Modbus RTU protocol (RTU mode) for compatibility with legacy industrial control systems or third-party monitoring platforms.- Local Configuration Interface: Front-panel USB port (USB 2.0), used to connect a laptop for on-site configuration, firmware updates, and data logging (no need to disassemble the module or power off the system).
Data Processing & Capacity	- Data Collection Rate: Supports real-time collection of data from up to 16 measurement modules (max. 1 rack configuration), with a minimum data update interval of 100ms (ensures timely capture of transient machinery faults).- Data Storage: Built-in non-volatile memory (NVM) for storing configuration parameters (e.g., protocol settings, module addresses) and fault logs (records up to 100 recent fault events, including time stamps and fault codes).- Error Handling: Automatically retries data transmission upon communication interruptions; supports data buffering (temporarily stores up to 500 sets of data) to prevent data loss during short-term network outages.
