Emerson A6220 Product Introduction

The Emerson A6220 is a two-channel, 3U size, 1-slot plug-in module that monitors proximity and position. It is designed for use in the AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor, which is an integral part of PlantWeb® and AMS software.

The A6220 is used to monitor a variety of applications, including

• Position monitoring The A6220 can be used to monitor the position of valves, dampers, and other mechanical components. This information can be used to ensure that these components are operating properly and to prevent potential problems.
• Proximity monitoring The A6220 can be used to monitor the proximity of objects to each other. This information can be used to prevent collisions and to ensure that machines are operating safely.
• Vibration monitoring The A6220 can also be used to monitor vibration. This information can be used to identify potential problems with machinery and to schedule maintenance before a breakdown occurs.
