Technical Specifications
Backplane power: +24VDC from AMS6500 rack backplane, max power consumption 6W
Channel layout: 2 independent isolated differential input channels for electrodynamic seismic sensors
Frequency response: 10Hz~1000Hz (velocity measurement standard band)
Input signal range: AC -5VDC ~ +15VDC dynamic signal, min input 311mVpp, max 9500mVpp
Measurement precision: full scale accuracy ≤±1%FS, output standard 4~20mA analog signal
Ambient condition: operating 0℃~+60℃, storage -40℃~+85℃, humidity 5%~95%RH non-condensing
Dimension & Weight: 130×185×65mm, net weight approx 0.52kg, 3U single slot rack installation
Load capacity: analog output max load resistance<500Ω
Interface & Communication Layout
Front panel: two sensor input BNC terminals for connecting 9266/9267/9268 seismic velocity sensors; LED indicators for POWER, RUN, ALARM, TRIP status display
Rear golden finger: AMS6500 proprietary backplane bus, realize real-time data upload to rack main controller and DCS system
Terminal side: 4~20mA analog output terminal for connecting DCS AI module; relay dry contact for vibration over-limit trip output
Core Functions
Collect absolute vibration velocity of rotating equipment bearing housing, convert raw sensor alternating signal into standard 4–20mA industrial analog signal to Ovation/DeltaV DCS system
Built-in configurable alarm & trip threshold: independent high-alarm and dangerous trip value for each channel, abnormal vibration triggers relay switch output for equipment interlock protection
Full self-diagnosis: detect sensor open/short circuit, module power failure, channel fault automatically, fault message uploaded to AMS6500 monitoring host log
Continuous real-time vibration trending data storage, support equipment unbalance, bearing looseness, casing resonance early fault prediction maintenance
Application Scenarios
Steam turbine/ gas turbine casing vibration monitoring in thermal power plant; large blower, induced draft fan bearing housing vibration protection; petrochemical reciprocating compressor, centrifugal pump mechanical safety monitoring; AMS6500 system spare module replacement for coal chemical unit
Operation & Maintenance Notes
Only install into designated AMS6500 empty slot, confirm rack bus specification before plugging to avoid backplane burnout
Seismic sensor shielded wire separate from high-power AC cable during wiring to avoid electromagnetic interference causing measurement drift
Complete alarm/trip parameter setting via AMS6500 upper computer software after power-on commissioning
Online module replacement allowed after rack power keeps normal, matched seismic sensors must be EPRO original 926X series to guarantee measuring precision
