Emerson A6630 Temperature Monitor Machine Monitoring System

The A6630 temperature monitor is designed to provide extreme reliability

for the most critical rotating machinery in your plant.

This 1-slot, multi-channel monitor can be used with other AMS 6500

monitors to form a complete API 670 machinery protection monitor.

Applications include steam, gas, compressors and water turbines.

The main function of the temperature monitor is to input RTD and thermocouple

temperature sensors and reliably protect machinery by comparing temperature

levels with alarm set points and actuating alarms and relays.

Temperature monitoring as well as vibration and position measurements provide

better fault confirmation, thus increasing availability and safety.

Machinery protection applications include radial and thrust bearing metal temperatures.

Important process temperature values include generator, rotor and stator winding temperatures,

oil supply temperatures, steam temperatures, and ambient temperatures.

The AMS 6500 is an integral part of the PlantWeb® digital plant architecture and AMS software.

PlantWeb provides operators with a comprehensive view of machine health in conjunction

with the Ovation® and DeltaV™ process control systems.

AMS software provides maintenance personnel with advanced predictive and performance

diagnostic tools, enabling them to determine machine failures early with confidence and accuracy.
