The ModBus and Rack Interface Module is designed for high reliability for the plant’s most critical rotating machinery. It reads parameters from all AMS A6500 ATG modules and outputs these parameters through ModBus TCP/IP and/or ModBus RTU (serial).
In addition, OPC UA is available for data transmission to third party systems.
This 1-slot monitor is used together with other AMS A6500 ATG monitors to build a complete API 670 machinery protection monitor. Applications include steam, gas, compressors, and hydro turbo machinery.
Operators are provided machinery health parameters in the control environment for seamless integration. The module powers local graphical displays at the protection rack for machine and instrumentation readout. Either ModBus TCP/IP or ModBus RTU or OPC UA can be configured, or for redundant path, can be used simultaneously.
