1 INTRODUCTION TO THE VM600
Mk2
MACHINERY
PROTECTION SYSTEM (MPS)
This chapter provides a brief overview of the installation of a VM600
Mk2
machinery protection
system (MPS). Information is provided on installing a rack, connecting power, handling and
connecting modules, communicating with the rack and software configuration.
NOTE: For further information on installing a VM600
Mk2
machinery protection system
(MPS), refer to a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual.
1.1 System overview
The VM600
Mk2
machinery protection system (MPS) uses MPC4
Mk2
+IOC4
Mk2
machinery
protection and condition monitoring modules and optional RLC16
Mk2
relay modules, and is
an evolution of the VM600 MPS based on existing VM600 rack infrastructure. The VM600
Mk2
MPS is a digital machinery protection system designed for use in industrial applications. It is
intended primarily for vibration monitoring in order to assure the protection of rotating
machinery as used in, for example, the power generation, petro-chemical and petroleum
industries as well as in marine related applications.
The VM600
Mk2
series of machinery protection and condition monitoring systems from
Meggitt’s vibro-meter
®
product line are based around a 19" rack containing various types of
modules, depending on the application.
There are basically two types of system:
• VM600
Mk2
machinery protection system (MPS in a 6U or 1U rack).
• VM600
Mk2
condition monitoring system (CMS in a 6U or 1U rack).
It is also possible to integrate MPS and CMS hardware into the same VM600
Mk2
rack
(ABE04x).
NOTE: This manual describes the VM600
Mk2
machinery protection system (MPS) only.
In its most basic configuration, a VM600
Mk2
machinery protection system (MPS) consists of
the following hardware:
1- VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack: 19″ system rack × 6U (ABE04x) or 19″ slimline rack × 1U
(ABE056)
NOTE: ABE04x refers to both the ABE040 and ABE042, which 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 APFxxx 24 V
DC
power supplies.
