EPRO CON021 + PR6423/00R-010 Eddy Current Sensor
Description
TheEPRO CON021is aprecision signal converterdeveloped byEmerson(formerlyEPRO) for use with thePR642x series non-contact eddy current sensors. It converts theraw analog signalsfrom the probes into standardized output signals (such as4-20 mAor0-10 V DC), allowing for seamless integration withcontrol systems,protection relays, andcondition monitoring platforms. This converter is deployed across various critical applications such assteamandgas turbines,hydroelectric generators, andindustrial compressors, where accurateshaft displacementandvibrationmeasurements are essential forpredictive maintenanceandmachine protection. Its high-frequency range and fast response time make it ideal fordynamic fault detectionandhigh-speed applications. TheCON021is built with arugged design,wide operating temperature range, and anIP65-rated enclosure, ensuring reliable performance inharsh industrial environments. Furthermore, it is compatible with a wide range of sensor models, includingPR6422,PR6423,PR6424,PR6425,PR6426, andPR6453, making it highly flexible and suitable for various asset types. TheEPRO PR6423/00R-010is part ofEmerson’s PR6423series, designed fornon-contact measurementofdynamic shaft behaviorusingeddy current technology. Paired with theCON021 signal converter, this system converts the raw analog signal into standardized outputs (e.g., 4-20 mA or 0-10 V DC), which can be easily integrated into control and protection systems such asEmerson’s MMS 6000andMMS 3000. Thishigh-precision sensoris used extensively ingas turbines,steam turbines,compressors,gearboxes, andpumps, providing accurate readings ofradial and axial shaft movement. It is essential for detecting early signs ofimbalance,misalignment, andbearing wear, making it a crucial component inpredictive maintenanceprograms. The sensor’s high sensitivity and reliable performance in challenging industrial environments help reduceunplanned downtimeand enhance machinery lifespan. Moreover, thePR6423/00R-010sensor meets international standards likeISO 10816andAPI 670, making it suitable for safety-critical applications inpower generation,oil & gas, and other demanding industries. Its robust construction and wide operating temperature tolerance ensure it performs reliably even in harsh environments.
