Internal components can be damaged or destroyed due to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
during the handling of the device.
Take suitable precautions before handling the device to prevent electrostatic discharges
through the electronics. Such measures might include, for example, wearing an ESD
bracelet. Transport and storage of electronic components may only be made in ESD-safe
packaging.
Handle the device with particular care during dry meteorological conditions with relative
humidity below 30% as electrostatic discharges can appear more frequently.

3 Application and design
3.1 Application
The A6500-RC Relay Card is a component of the AMS 6500 ATG machine protection
system. It is a freely programmable microprocessor-controlled module that can be used to
do logical combination of binary signals within a AMS 6500 ATG system. When connected
to an A6500-xR System Rack, the measurement cards provide and connect their logical
outputs (COK, Alert, and Danger) automatically to the A6500-RC inputs through the
backplane of the System Rack.
The A6500-RC captures the signals to logically combine them and provide the results
through relay outputs. The A6500-RC is intended to be used in an A6500-xR System Rack
(A6500-SR, A6500-RR, or A6500-FR) which is equipped with a separate slot for the A6500-
RC.
The A6500-RC Relay Card is equipped with 66 digital, galvanically separated input
channels (24 V logic), 16 output relays, one green system status LED and 16 yellow relay
status LEDs on the monitor front to indicate the output relay statuses. All 66 input
channels can be used separately and can thus be combined with each other individually.
The 16 output relay channels are designed as single-pole switchover contacts (SPDT).
Connection of external digital signals is possible if using an A6500-RR system rack or an
A6500-FR system rack. The A6500-RC card is not mandatory for the operation of an AMS
6500 ATG.
In conjunction with the A6500-CC Com Card status data of the A6500-RC can be provided
through Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP and OPC UA. As the Relay Card is designed for use
with A6500-xR System Racks , generally a Com Card is required for configuration
purposes.
3.2 Design
The A6500-RC Relay Card is designed as a double-standard Euro card (100 mm x 160 mm).
The mechanical dimensions of the card match the dimensions of corresponding A6500-xR
System Racks exactly. The front plate dimension of the A6500-RC is 3RU height and 10HP
width. As the A6500-RC is manufactured in sandwich board design, the main board is
equipped with a 96-pole terminal connector and the relay board is equipped with a 48-
pole terminal connector (IEC 60603-2, F 48 M) to connect the respective backplane slot.
Figure 3-1 shows the side view of the Relay Card.

4 Installation
For installation and mounting of the A6500-RC into an A6500-xR System Rack the relay
output terminals and wiring are described in the operation manual of the A6500-xR
System Racks. The Relay Card can be only installed in the double slot 12 (12.1 and 12.2) of
the A6500-SR System Rack or in the double slots 10 (10.1 and 10.2) and 11 (11.1 and
11.2) of the A6500-RR System Rack.
Note
The AMS 6500-ATG cards are hot-swappable. So it is not necessary to switch off the power
supply of the system rack for installing or replacing cards.
CAUTION
Any work at the system may impair machine protection.
Procedure
1. Wire the relay output contacts of the slot in accordance to the required application.
2. Push the A6500-RC into the prepared slot 12 (12.1 & 12.2).
The interconnections to the digital outputs of slots 1 to slot 11 are already done
through the backplane.
3. Secure the card by gently fastening the screws at the front plate.
4.1 CSA - General safety
Conditions of acceptability
See chapter "CSA - General safety" of the A6500-xR System Racks operating manual
(MHM-97877) for conditions of acceptability.
4.2 Commissioning
Procedure
1. If the card is not configured, create a configuration with the AMS Machine Studio
software and download it to the card (see Configuration).
2. Ensure proper work by checking input and output signals (see Functional check).
