Product Introduction
The A6500‑RC is a 16‑channel output relay module designed for critical rotating‑machinery protection in industrial plants. It forms part of the AMS 6500 Machinery Health & Protection Series, and when used with the system rack and measurement cards, provides a full machine‑protection capability compliant with API 670. The module accepts multiple input signals (clear, alert, alarm) from a monitoring system and applies configurable Boolean logic and time‑delay to drive 16 SPDT relay outputs. Its design emphasises high reliability, space efficiency (3U height module, 2‑slot width) and integration into enterprise‑grade monitoring and protection architectures.
This module is ideal for use in turbines, compressors, generators, pumps and other critical rotating assets where timely, accurate relay actuation is required to activate alarms, trip systems or interface with plant control systems.

Applications
-
Turbines (steam, gas, hydraulic) where overspeed, vibration or misalignment events need rapid relay response.
-
Compressors and large pumps in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation industries, where machine‑health alarms must trigger protective action.
-
Generator sets and backup power systems in utilities and industrial plants, interfaced to machine‑protection systems.
-
Water treatment and offshore installations where compact relay cards provide space‑efficient protection logic within a rack architecture.
-
Manufacturing heavy‑industry equipment (rolling mills, large motors, gearboxes) where a dedicated relay logic network monitors multiple channels and triggers shutdown or alarm.
Advantages
-
Compact, space‑saving form‑factor: 3U height, 2‑slot width module takes significantly less cabinet space compared to older 6U cards.
-
High reliability for critical machines: Designed according to API 670 standard, with proven mechanical/vibration/EMC robustness.
-
High integration and logic flexibility: 66 inputs plus 16 logic networks allow complex logic configurations (AND, OR, XOR, time delays) feeding 16 output relays.
-
Fast response and configurable outputs: Relay outputs with turn‑on/off times as low as 10 ms and configurable contact types (NO/NC) for diverse trip or alarm functions.
-
Hot‑swappable module architecture: Minimizes plant downtime when replacing modules in a running rack system.
-
Industrial environment suitability: Broad operating temperature range, high shock/vibration tolerance, IP20 protection, compliant with industrial EMC/vibration standards.
-
System‑friendly design: Integrates into the AMS 6500 health monitoring architecture and supports connection to enterprise control systems, enabling unified machine‑health / trip logic frameworks.
