Overview
The Emerson EPRO CON021 + PR6423/01C-010 is an industrial eddy current measurement system consisting of a proximity probe and a signal converter. It provides non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and displacement on rotating machinery. The system converts probe signals into electrical outputs for monitoring and machinery protection equipment.
System Configuration
The system consists of two main components:
- PR6423/01C-010 Probe: An eddy current proximity sensor that detects shaft movement and displacement without mechanical contact.
- CON021 Signal Converter: Processes the probe signal and provides an electrical output for connection to monitoring equipment.
Together, these components form a measurement chain. The probe detects changes in the distance between its sensing tip and the conductive shaft surface. Meanwhile, the CON021 converts the resulting sensor signal into a usable measurement output.
Functions and Applications
The system supports non-contact monitoring of rotating machinery. Its measurement functions include:
- Shaft vibration measurement.
- Shaft displacement monitoring.
- Relative shaft position detection.
- Condition monitoring and machinery protection.
For example, vibration and displacement measurements can help monitoring systems identify changes in rotating equipment conditions. Therefore, the system can provide measurement signals for machinery monitoring applications involving turbines, compressors and pumps.

System Operation
The PR6423/01C-010 probe measures the distance to a conductive target through an electromagnetic field. Changes in the gap between the probe and shaft affect the sensor signal. Furthermore, the CON021 processes this signal to provide an electrical measurement output for the connected monitoring system.
The complete configuration must use compatible probe and converter characteristics. In addition, the probe cable, converter settings and measurement range should match the requirements of the monitoring installation.
