AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor Introduction

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. 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.
