Product Short Description
Product Name: AMS 6500 ModBus & Rack Interface Module.
Product Overview: The A6824 is a 3U-sized, 1-slot plug-in module designed to provide high reliability for critical rotating machinery. It reads parameters from all AMS 6500 modules and outputs them via ModBus TCP/IP and/or ModBus RTU (serial). It serves as a key communication gateway for machinery health monitoring, enabling seamless integration with plant-wide control systems such as Ovation® and DeltaV™.
