VIBRO-METER  200-510-070-111  4-channel vibration protection + 2-speed channels

The VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) is a digital machinery monitoring and

protection system designed for use in industrial applications. It is intended primarily for

vibration monitoring to assure the protection of rotating machinery as used in, for example,

the power generation, petrochemical and petroleum industries as well as in marine related

applications.​

1.2General overview

The VM600 series of machinery protection and condition monitoring systems from Meggitt’s

vibro-meter® product line are based around a 19″ rack (1U or6U) containing various types

of cards, depending on the application.

There are basically two types of system:

• Machinery protection system (MPS – 1U or6U rack)

• Condition monitoring system (CMS – 1U or6U rack).

It is also possible to integrate machinery protection and condition monitoring hardware into

the same 6U (ABE04x) rack.

NOTE: This manual describes machinery protection system (MPS) hardware only.

Further information on condition monitoring system hardware can be found in the

VM600 condition monitoring system (CMS) hardware manual.

In its most basic configuration, a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) consists of the

following hardware:

1-ABE04x (19″x6U) or ABE056 (19″x1U) rack

NOTE: The ABE040 and ABE042 are identical apart from the position of the rack mounting

brackets.

2-RPS6U rack power supply (ABE04x only)

When an AC-input version of the RPS6U is installed in a VM600 rack, the optional ASPS

auxiliary sensor power supply can be used to replace external power supplies such as

the APF19x 24VDC power supplies.

3-MPC4 machinery protection card

4-IOC4T input/output card for the MPC4

5-AMC8 analog monitoring card

6-IOC8T input/output card for the AMC8.

The MPC4 and IOC4T cards form an inseparable pair and one cannot be used without the

other. These cards are used primarily to monitor vibration for the purposes of machinery

protection.

Similarly, the AMC8 and IOC8T cards form an inseparable pair. These cards are used

primarily to monitor quasi-static parameters such as temperature, fluid level or flow rate for

the purposes of machinery protection.
