Emerson A6500-UM Universal Measurement Card

The Emerson A6500-UM Universal Measurement Card serves as a critical interface for multi-parameter data acquisition in industrial control systems. Designed for integration with DeltaV distributed control systems, this card specializes in handling analog measurements from various field devices while maintaining signal integrity in demanding operational environments.

This measurement card excels in applications requiring simultaneous monitoring of multiple process variables. We’ve deployed it in chemical processing plants for reactor temperature profiling, in power generation facilities for turbine vibration analysis, and in pharmaceutical production for precise pressure regulation. Its configurable inputs support thermocouple, RTD, and voltage signal types – making it compatible with our inventory of DeltaV system components including A4000 series I/O modules and SIS safety controllers.

Our technical team has successfully integrated this card with legacy Emerson OVATION systems and newer DeltaV platforms. The compact 0.2kg design simplifies rack installation while maintaining backward compatibility with existing control cabinet configurations. Personally, I’ve found its 35mA load rating particularly useful when retrofitting older 24VDC control loops without power supply upgrades.

Our global inventory includes both standard and obsolete Emerson control components. In addition to the A6500-UM, we stock complementary DeltaV hardware like the A6500-EM expander module, A4000-TC thermocouple interface, and VM series vibration monitoring cards. For cross-compatibility applications, we also maintain inventory of Foxboro FBM modules, Siemens S7-400 I/O cards, and Rockwell ControlLogix interface solutions.
