Overview Manuals Specifications Application Protection Functions Installation and Upgrades

Features:

  • 24-bit ADC resolution with 100 dB dynamic range and simultaneous two-channel data acquisition enables precise measurement of subtle machine changes for early fault detection.
  • Event-based adaptive monitoring with configurable data collection and exception-based storage optimizes data management while ensuring critical events are captured.
  • Dual 10/100 BaseT Ethernet ports with built-in HUB support flexible network architectures including daisy-chaining for scalable system expansion.
The A6560 sets a new standard for field-based predictive intelligence with its 24-bit ADC resolution and 100 dB dynamic range. By acquiring data simultaneously on two channels, it captures waveform and spectral information with exceptional fidelity, enabling early detection of developing faults such as bearing wear, unbalance, and misalignment. The onboard test generator verifies all sensor and tachometer channels, ensuring system integrity without external test equipment.

The A6560 employs event-based adaptive monitoring that automatically adjusts to changing machine conditions and process states. Instead of overwhelming operators with continuous data streams, it intelligently triggers data collection based on predefined events—relay inputs, RPM thresholds, or vibration levels. Exception-based storage further optimizes data volume by saving only relevant information, reducing storage requirements and simplifying post-processing.

With dual 10/100 BaseT Ethernet ports and an integrated HUB, the A6560 supports flexible network topologies including daisy-chaining, simplifying installation and reducing cabling costs. The rear RJ45 jacks connect to the plant network, while the front ports provide convenient local access for laptops or displays—ideal for commissioning and troubleshooting.

The A6560 Emerson Machinery Health Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
The A6560 serves as the central predictive intelligence unit within the AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor, combining real-time overall vibration monitoring with deeper diagnostic analysis. It scans 12 channels of RMS and DC values every 400 milliseconds, providing a quick health check while simultaneously performing waveform, spectrum, and analysis computations two channels at a time. 

With its event-based adaptive monitoring, the A6560 adjusts to changing process conditions and machine states, delivering tailored insights directly from the field. Results are communicated to control systems or AMS Machinery Manager software via dual 10/100 BaseT Ethernet ports, which also support daisy-chain network architectures. 

The A6560 offers flexible data collection options, including event-based and time-based intervals, with exception-based storage to manage data volume efficiently. It supports analysis bandwidths from 10 Hz to 40 kHz with spectral resolutions from 100 to 6400 lines, and includes advanced averaging modes such as Normal, PeakVue®, and order tracking. 

This processor solves the pain point of integrating real-time machine protection with predictive diagnostics in a single field-based platform. By computing waveform, spectrum, and trending data locally, the A6560 reduces the load on central systems and enables faster response to developing faults.
