AMS 6500 ATG version 4.1 provides easier, more secure and more cost-effective options to deliver critical data across facilities
AUSTIN, Texas (March 26, 2025) – Emerson has announced an update of its advanced protection and prediction solution, AMS 6500 ATG version 4.1. Improved connectivity and new cybersecurity features in the latest release empower teams to better protect their most critical assets while simultaneously driving powerful predictive data to control, machinery health and analytics systems.
Many protection systems are designed to connect to external systems via a single interface. However, manufacturers need to deliver critical asset health data securely to many external systems to achieve Emerson’s Boundless AutomationSM vision and drive operational excellence plantwide. This often creates complexity and adds cost as teams attempt to spread information across multiple networks.
The new communication card on AMS 6500 ATG version 4.1 now contains two physically separated Ethernet ports, allowing users to leverage multiple interfaces to send data to separate networks without using a second communication card or an external switch with a firewall. The streamlined solution not only reduces costs, but also frees up the second communication card to be used for redundancy.
AMS 6500 ATG version 4.1 features IEC 62443 Level 1 certification, providing users increased confidence of secure communication to protect their most critical—and often, most dangerous—assets. In addition, an entirely new user management system for configuration, as well as an added physical keylock on the communication card further increase security by limiting who can make configuration changes, and when they can be made.
The AMS 6500 ATG version 4.1 advanced prediction and protection solution will be on display at Emerson Exchange 2025, May 19-22 in San Antonio, Texas.
