EPRO CON021/916-160 MMS 6000 Signal Converter

The EPRO CON021/916-160, also cataloged as the CON021/916-160 Signal Converter, operates as a dedicated hardware component for eddy current signal conditioning within MMS 6000 and IMR 6000 machinery monitoring platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Gap Voltage Validation and Eddy-Current Probe Scaling

The CON021/916-160 converts high-frequency eddy current probe displacement signals into standardized analog DC voltages for continuous machine tracking. Gap voltage validation targeting mid-scale negative DC bias ensures linear eddy-current probe scaling up to 16 mm displacement ranges. High dynamic frequency response up to 20000 Hz with a rapid rise time under 15 us provides precise phase alignment essential for analyzing complex rotor dynamics, shaft orbit behavior, and phase pulse tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the CON021/916-160 module be replaced while the monitoring system is powered?

A: Yes, the module is engineered for hot-swappable installation within MMS 6000 and IMR 6000 rack assemblies, allowing maintenance without disrupting adjacent channel operation.

Q: How is the linear measurement range validated during setup with PR6426 probes?

A: Verification is conducted by adjusting mechanical probe standoff until the DC output voltage aligns with the calibrated linear bias point, maintaining linearity error within 2.0% across the 16 mm span.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Insert the converter module securely into the designated MMS 6000 or IMR 6000 rack channel slot to ensure full backplane pin engagement.
• Maintain unbroken signal shielding from the probe extension cable to the converter termination, grounding the shield at the rack frame.
• Confirm correct negative supply voltage polarity (-21 VDC to -32 VDC) prior to energizing loop circuits.
• Keep field signal cabling separated from high-voltage AC lines to prevent capacitive coupling and electromagnetic noise interference.
