The A6500-CC serves as the central communication gateway for the Emerson AMS 6500 Machinery Protection System (MPS). It facilitates real-time data transfer from vibration, position, and status monitoring modules to external systems such as DCS, PLCs, and SCADA. The card also provides remote diagnostics, configuration, and system monitoring, making it essential for plant-wide data integration and predictive maintenance initiatives.

Central Data Gateway: Consolidates analog and digital signals from the rack and relays them to plant networks.
Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics: Allows inspection of sensor health, waveform data, and rack configuration without local access.
Protocol Support: Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, and Emerson proprietary protocols (for AMS Device Manager or DeltaV integration).
Industrial Durability: G3-rated conformal coating and IP20 protection guard against corrosive environments and humidity.
Compact & Low Power: Low thermal footprint allows dense 19-inch rack installations.
Is the A6500-CC required for protection logic?
No. Protection cards (e.g., A6500-UM, A6500-RC) operate independently. The CC is primarily for data communication, visualization, and configuration.
Does it support remote firmware updates?
Yes. Authorized personnel can update firmware and modify configuration logic via Ethernet without physical access to the rack.
Which protocols are supported?
Typically Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, and Emerson proprietary protocols for deep integration with AMS Device Manager or DeltaV systems.
