Operating Manual Communication
MHM-97879 November 2019

3 Communication
3.1 Communication functions
This chapter describes the main communication functions of Machine Studio and the
A6500-CC Com Card, necessary for configuration and operation, using the USB interface.
The A6500-CC operating manual describes network communication applications. For
communication to an EZ 1000 converter, see operating manual of the converter.
For configuration and operation, the cards of the AMS 6500 ATG system require
communications with computers. For this reason, the A6500-xR System Racks (A6500-SR,
A6500-RR, A6500-FR) contain one or two communication cards of type A6500-CC in slots
13 and 14.
Generally, one A6500-CC card is used for communication. The second communication
card can be configured for redundancy. If there is a problem, communication will be taken
over by the second (redundant) card.

3.2 Communication with Machine Studio through

USB
Communication to Machine Studio takes place through the communication card A6500-
CC in the system rack. Stationary equipment in control rooms are typically connected to
the system racks through TCP/IP interface lines. The USB interface at the card front is
generally used for service and commissioning purposes. Both interfaces can be used to
configure the communication card(s) and protection cards installed in the system rack.
Measuring data can also be transmitted to the configuration computer.
Note
Time data cannot be read through the USB interface. That means time waveforms and
frequency spectrums of the A6500-UM cards cannot be displayed if the card is connected
through the USB interface.

The communication between Machine Studio and the system rack automatically starts as
soon as Machine Studio is started, and the USB cable is connected from the computer to
the front socket of the A6500-CC.
All AMS 6500 ATG protection cards installed in the A6500-xR System Rack will be detected
and their type numbers, serial numbers, card states, and alarm states read out and
represented in the device tree structure of Machine Studio. Click a card in the tree
structure and the actual measuring values, channel states and the card state of this card
are shown in the Overview screen.
The device tree structure shows the type number of this card and the work area of the
window as well as a table with type number, serial number, and status of the new card.

5 Data collection and Modbus/OPC

configuration
5.1 General - Data collection
The AMS 6500 ATG with transient prediction is a read-only application using AMS
Machinery Manager. AMS Machinery Manager is a software from Emerson uses data from
predictive maintenance technologies to diagnose and communicate the health of
mechanical and rotating machinery. The AMS 6500 ATG collects the signal waveform data
and buffers it on the internal micro SD card. ATG systems with prediction capabilities have
this micro SD card installed in the A6500-CC Com Card. The configuration of the data
collection is made in Machine Studio. The collected signal waveforms are not influenced
by filters, set in the A6500-UM Universal Measuring Card. There are different configurable
triggers or control elements to start a data collection:
• Manual trigger
• Scheduled trigger
• Event trigger
• Ad hoc - command for spontaneous data collection
The AMS 6500 ATG Service transfers the collected data to an AMS Machinery Manager
database. AMS Machinery Manager reads this data for further processing and analysis. The
AMS 6500 ATG Service is available on the Guardian Support Portal and the software
download page http://reliabilitymobile.com/apps/registration/Account/Login.aspx. For
installation and operation of the service see the user guide AMS 6500 ATG Service for AMS
Machinery Manager.
Note
Transient prediction requires AMS Machinery Manager version 5.7 and later versions for
data analysis.
From version 5.71 onwards, the AMS 6500 ATG Service is part of AMS Machinery Manger.
See AMS Machinery Manager Help for further details.

A license (ATG Prediction Extension License; A6500-PE) is required for the configurable
data collection. Without a license, you can use a predefined data collection with fixed
parameters.

5.2 License entry

A license (ATG Prediction Extension License; A6500-PE) is required for the configurable
data collection. Without a license, you can use the Standard Collection Task (see
Configuration). The license is assigned to one specific A6500-CC Com Card.
Note
For ATG systems with redundant communication, Emerson recommends to have a license
for each Com Card.

MHM-97879, Rev. 4.00 61

Data collection and Modbus/OPC configuration Operating Manual
November 2019 MHM-97879

Follow the steps to add the license to enable the full configurable data collection. An
online connection to the Com Card is required for this procedure.
Note
The license key is connected to a specific A6500-CC Com Card, identified by the serial
number of the card, and cannot be transferred to another A6500-CC Com Card.

Procedure
1. Choose the ATG-System [connection type] that contains the Com Card to be
licensed from the device tree (see Figure 5-1).

5.3 Redundance
In ATG systems with redundant communication – two A6500-CC Com Cards installed –
the active A6500-CC Com Card collects data and buffers the collected data on the micro
SD card. The AMS 6500 ATG Service automatically checks for Com Card activity to always
collect the data from the active card.
Note
For ATG systems with redundant communication, Emerson recommends to have a license
for both A6500-CC Com Cards. See License entry for license details.

defined. Post time defines the length of the data block after the event (see
Figure 5-31).
Example: The event is the danger alarm of a shaft vibration measurement,
Pre time is two seconds and Post time is one second. Once the event
occurs, a data block with the data of two seconds before the alarm event
plus the data of one second after the event is grabbed. The total data block
length is three seconds. So data before and after the event are available for
analysis.
The total block length is the addition of Pre time and Post time.

Data collection and Modbus/OPC configuration Operating Manual
November 2019 MHM-97879

Connection and communication

The connection interface of the OPC UA server is the TCP/IP interface of the A6500- CC
Com Card (see A6500-CC Operating Manual for details).
Up to five OPC UA clients can simultaneously connect to the OPC UA server.
An IP address and port is required for the client to connect to the OPC UA server. The OPC
UA communication is not encrypted. The communication is designed for the reading of
data. The sending of commands, such as the reset latch command, is not possible through
the OPC UA communication.
Note
OPC UA is not backwards compatible to OPC.

OPC data points and cycle time

The available data points are identical to the Modbus data registers (see Data tables). A
maximum of 1000 OPC items (data points) per A6500-CC Com Card can be read.
The data points (nodes) of the OPC UA server are structured as shown on Figure 5-41. This
structure is based on the physical structure of the System Rack and facilitates the location
of the single data points.

Figure 5-41: Item structure

Bold: Groups
Not bold: data points (node)

The minimum OPC UA server cycle time is 500 ms. Use the OPC UA client to change its
cycle time.
Note
To obtain waveform data, Emerson recommends a minimum cycle time of 1000 ms.
OPC UA data is generally provided in SI units, independently of the selected system of
units in Machine Studio (Settings → Internationalization → System of units).

The 300 basic card data input registers are split into several groups as shown in Table B-6.
Note
The available Modbus data depends on the card configuration.
For example: An A6500-UM card configured for "Combined channels -dynamic" only
provides Modbus data in the registers reserved for "Combined channels -dynamic". All
other measurement related registers such as the registers "Combined channels - static",
"Single channel dynamic", "Single channel - static", "Single channel - eccentricity", and

"Speed" are empty. The same applies to the analysis registers "Order analysis", "Band
analysis", and "PeakVue". Only the registers related to the configured analysis function
contain Modbus data.

Structure of the registers "Settings"

The 105 holding registers are general registers for the complete system and occupied as
shown in Table B-32. Most of these registers are writeable and readable, for example
"Reset Latch", "Freeze Time data", and so on.
Note
Write the command registers, such as Reset Latch, and Reset Max Input Channel Temp,
one by one. The writing of all registers at once can cause communication problems on the
Modbus.

Note
The registers 64010 to 64037 for the activating of time data providing are calculated for
two racks with 14 cards (slots) for each rack.
The second rack always starts with card 15.
