The EPRO A6500-RC 16-Channel Output Relay Module is designed for high reliability, catering to the most critical rotating machinery within a plant. It is a key component of the API 670 machinery protection system, used alongside the CSI 6500 ATG to create a comprehensive monitoring setup. Its applications encompass steam, gas, compressors, and hydro turbo machinery.

Any channel’s clear, alert, or alarm signal can be designated as input to the 16-Channel Output Relay Module. By employing Boolean logic, applying time delay, and selecting output relays, configuration is seamlessly achieved. The user-friendly software offers graphical logic displays, guiding users through configuration with visual aids.

The CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor, a fundamental part of PlantWeb® and AMS Suite, adds value to operations by integrating machinery health insights with Ovation® and DeltaV™ process control systems. AMS Suite empowers maintenance personnel with advanced predictive and performance diagnostic tools, ensuring the early detection of machine malfunctions.
