The A6560R And A6510 Modules - Emerson AMS 6500 Reference Manual

Hardware configuration
7.1.2 Spectral Scan
Spectral Scan is defined as the acquisition and analysis of dynamic AC signals only. The
signals are acquired, two channels at a time (referred to as CHX and CHY). Preprogrammed
groups of Spectral Scan measurement parameters (AP Sets) may be assigned to specific
machine state conditions to tailor data acquisition to specific machine operational states.
7.1.3 Transient data capture
Transient data capture is the acquisition of continuous time waveforms of dynamic AC
signals. Transient data is captured in parallel for all channels. Other data stored along with
the Transient data include Gross Scan data captured once per second, tach pulse records,
and acquisition timestamps. The Transient data is stored on hard disk, and is available for
real-time analysis via Ethernet.

The A6560R and A6510 modules

The AMS6500M has an A6560R Processor module and either one or two A6510 Signal
Input modules.
The AMS6500T has an A6560R Processor module with a solid-state drive and either one or
two A6510 Signal Input modules, each with Transient Filter Boards.
7.2.1 A6560R Processor module
The A6560R Processor module provides all data acquisition, data storage, and data
communication functions for the AMS 6500 system and the AMS 2600 system. The
A6560R is capable of up to 24 simultaneous, continuous waveform measurements for
detailed Spectral analysis, up to 24 RMS and DC values for Gross Scan measurements, up
to 4 tachometers for machine speed measurement, and up to 4 digital state inputs.
Gross Scan values, tachometer values, and digital input states may be combined logically
to determine machine operating state and define specific data acquisition states. The
system can be configured to transmit and store data on either time interval or based on
the amount of change of the data values.
The Processor module provides four 100 Base-T Ethernet ports and one RS-232 serial port
for system communications and diagnostics. Additional connections are available for the
calibration signal and a dry contact SPDT SysFail relay. This relay is energized when the
Processor CPU successfully boots. On a CPU failure or power loss, the relay will de-
energize.
The Processor module may be configured to download its operational firmware via
Ethernet upon boot, or to operate on firmware that has been stored in FLASH memory.
The Processor module has an on-board signal generator capable of producing sinusoidal
and DC signals that are routed to the input modules during system calibration and on
Power On Self Test (POST).
