Product Introduction
The A6740 is a 16‑channel output relay module designed for critical rotating equipment protection in industrial plants. It is part of the AMS 6500 Machinery Health & Protection Series. As a plug‑in module (2‑slot width, 3U height) it delivers compact yet high‑density relay outputs and configurable logic for alarms, trips, and machine protection functions.
This module is engineered to process up to 60 input signals (e.g., “clear”, “alert”, “danger” states) from measurement modules, apply programmable logic (up to 30 expressions), and drive up to 16 independent relay outputs in response. It is typically used in systems that monitor turbines, compressors, pumps and other key rotating assets, providing alarm and shutdown capability compliant with machine‑protection standards.
