This upgrade reduces cabinet space by half compared to traditional 6U four-channel cards, while offering universal compatibility with eddy-current, piezoelectric, seismic, LF, Hall-effect, and dynamic pressure sensors. With 2 independent or combined input channels, 5 digital inputs, and 6 digital outputs, the A6500-UM simplifies inventory and improves system flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor Input Types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEddy-current, Piezoelectric, Seismic (electro-dynamic), LF (low frequency bearing vibration), Hall-effect \/ A6500-LC, VR sensors, Dynamic pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Range (most inputs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 18750 Hz (attenuation \u0026lt;0.1 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 (2 can be used for key-signal, logic levels 0-3V low, 13-32V high)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 solid-state relays, normally open equivalent to SPST, 19-32V DC, 100mA max, turn-on\/off \u0026lt;5ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 channels, 0\/4-20 mA, accuracy ±1% full scale, max load 500Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20°C to +70°C (with forced cooling); -20°C to +55°C (without)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax 6W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3U, 1-slot, 100x160mm PCB (DIN 41494)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 200g (without packaging)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIndustry Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Emerson A6500-UM is ideal for upgrading turbine, compressor, pump, and fan monitoring systems. It measures shaft vibration, case vibration, position, speed, and dynamic pressure. In a turbine protection upgrade, one A6500-UM can replace two older single-function cards, cutting wiring and reducing spare part complexity. Its hot-swappable design minimizes downtime during replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A6500-UM installs into an A6500-xR System Rack (3U\/6HP slot). The module is hot swappable – no need to power down the rack during replacement. Front and rear buffered and proportional outputs are available, along with 0\/4-20mA current output. Configuration is performed via the USB port on the faceplate using a PC\/laptop. Ensure the card is properly aligned and that all connectors are seated firmly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIntegration and Communication\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasured signals transmit via the internal RS-485 bus to the A6500-CC Com Card, which converts them to Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP\/IP for host computer or analysis system integration. The USB port provides direct PC connection for configuration and visualization. The A6500-UM is fully compatible with the AMS 6500 ATG platform, supporting both new installations and retrofits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePurchasing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm your rack type (A6500-xR) and that a compatible A6500-CC Com Card is installed. No additional cables are required for basic operation. For genuine Emerson A6500-UM modules, contact UBEST Automation at ubest101.myshopify.com.
