Product Description

The Emerson A6500-UM  is a compact 3U, 1-slot plug-in module that supports 2 independent or combined sensor input channels.

It is compatible with eddy-current, piezoelectric, seismic, low-frequency bearing vibration, Hall-effect, LVDT (with A6500-LC) and dynamic pressure sensors.

The module is equipped with 5 digital inputs, 6 digital outputs, 2 pulse outputs and 2 isolated 0/4–20 mA analog outputs.

Measurement data is transmitted via internal RS485 to the A6500-CC communication card for Modbus RTU/TCP output.

It is API 670 compliant, hot-swappable, SIL 2 capable, and features G3 conformal coating for harsh industrial environments.
