Operating Manual Application and design MHM-97876 June 2023 Application and design Application The A6500-RC Relay Card is a component of the AMS 6500 ATG machine protection system. It is a freely programmable microprocessor-controlled module that can be used to do logical combination of binary signals within a AMS 6500 ATG system. When connected to an A6500-xR System Rack, the measurement cards provide and connect their logical outputs (COK, Alert, and Danger) automatically to the A6500-RC inputs through the backplane of the System Rack.
