Description

The Emerson A6120 is a Case Seismic Electro-dynamic Vibration Monitor designed for high reliability machinery protection in critical rotating equipment applications. Built as a 2-channel, 3U size, 1-slot plug-in module for the CSI 6500 Machinery Health Monitor rack system, it reduces cabinet space requirements compared to traditional cards. The A6120 interfaces with electro-dynamic differential sensors (such as model numbers 9266, 9267, or 9268) and provides overall vibration monitoring for bearing cases in velocity. It processes vibration inputs with lower cutoff values of 1 or 5 Hz and adjustable upper cutoffs from 50 to 2000 Hz. The unit integrates into plant infrastructure via ModBus TCP/IP outputs, RS-232 configuration interfaces, and 4/20 mA or 0-10 VDC proportional outputs, alongside buffered raw sensor signal outputs.

Features

  • Two-channel, 3U size, 1-slot plug-in module architecture
  • Hot swappable module compliant with API 670 standards
  • Compatibility with electro-dynamic (electro-mechanical) sensor models 9266, 9267, and 9268
  • Remote selectable limit multiply and trip bypass capabilities via relay inputs
  • Front panel and rear buffered outputs alongside proportional 0/4-20 mA and 0-10 VDC outputs
  • Dual LED indicators per channel for channel OK status, alert, and danger alarms
  • Mini DIN front panel socket for configuration and monitoring via RS-232
  • Dedicated 4-channel connector for CSI 4500 interface plug & play support

Applications

  • Steam, gas, and hydro turbomachinery protection
  • Industrial compressors and pumps
  • Nuclear power rotating equipment monitoring
  • Bearing case overall velocity vibration measurements
