Overview
The Emerson EPRO A6910, also identified as the A6910 Configuration Kit, provides physical communication cables and signal adapters for configuring and testing compatible AMS machinery monitoring systems, including AMS 6500, AMS 6500 ATG, and AMS 6300 SIS. The kit supports PC-to-monitor connections and SMB-to-BNC signal routing for configuration and diagnostic tasks.

Configuration Interfaces and Signal Routing
The A6910 kit contains several interface components for different connection requirements. The MHM-6XXX-CONFIGCABLE provides a 9-pin Sub-D connection for the PC and a PS/2 connection for the compatible monitoring card. The MHM-6XXX-USB-CABLE provides USB-A and USB-B connections for supported AMS 6500 ATG hardware.
The MHM-6XXX-USB-ADTR converts an RS232 serial interface to USB-A connectivity. Its specified maximum baud rate is 115.2 kbps. For signal measurement, the two MHM-6XXX-SMBCABLE cables provide SMB connections at both ends, while the MHM-6XXX-SMBADTR adapters convert SMB connections to BNC connections.
These interfaces serve different functions. Configuration cables provide communication paths to compatible monitoring hardware, whereas SMB-to-BNC adapters provide physical connections for external measurement equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which systems are identified as compatible with the A6910 kit?
A: The supplied information identifies the AMS 6500, AMS 6500 ATG, and AMS 6300 SIS systems. Verify the specific monitor or card interface before connecting the kit.
Q: What is the maximum communication speed of the RS232-to-USB adapter?
A: The specified maximum baud rate is 115.2 kbps. The actual communication speed also depends on the connected device and its configuration.
Q: Can the SMB-to-BNC adapters be used for signal measurement?
A: They provide a physical connection between SMB and BNC interfaces. Confirm the signal type, voltage range, impedance, and measurement equipment requirements before connecting the circuit.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Confirm the target monitoring system and card model before selecting a configuration cable.
- Inspect all connectors for bent contacts, contamination, and mechanical damage before installation.
- Connect the PC and monitoring hardware using the cable specified for the applicable interface. Do not force incompatible connectors.
- For serial communication, verify the PC interface, adapter driver, communication settings, and baud rate supported by the target device.
- When using SMB-to-BNC adapters, confirm the signal characteristics and input limits of the connected test instrument.
- Route communication and signal cables away from high-current conductors and sources of electromagnetic interference where practical.
- Follow the equipment manufacturer’s grounding and shielding requirements. Avoid creating unintended ground loops through measurement equipment.
- Obtain the applicable configuration software separately and verify its compatibility with the installed monitoring hardware.
