INTRODUCTION TO THE VM600
Mk2
MACHINERY PROTECTION SYSTEM (MPS)
• For a RLC16
Mk2
module, jumpers on the module are used to manually configure the
VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack’s Open Collector (OC) bus and/or Raw bus lines that control and
monitor the module’s relays, and distribute the system-wide VM600
Mk2
safety line control
signal.
NOTE: The jumper information is automatically generated and displayed by the
VibroSight Protect software.
In VibroSight Protect, on the Configure tab, when an individual module (MPC4
Mk2
+IOC4
Mk2
or RLC16
Mk2
) is selected, the Jumpers tab for the module displays the module’s required
jumper settings.
On a Jumpers tab, the Jumpers location displays a photo of the area of the module (IOC4
Mk2
or RLC16
Mk2
) to illustrate where the jumpers are physically located on the module, while the
Jumpers configuration highlights the jumpers that must be installed in order to match the
VibroSight Protect configuration.
NOTE: When configuring hardware jumpers on IOC4
Mk2
and RLC16
Mk2
modules, it is
important to note that each module can be different and that for each module:
• Jumpers shown as grey in Jumpers configuration (VibroSight Protect) for the
module must be removed (not installed).
• Jumpers shown as blue in Jumpers configuration (VibroSight Protect) for the
module must be inserted (installed).

1.10VibroSight networking
VibroSight uses zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) in order to automatically create
usable networks of VibroSight-compatible devices with the minimum amount of network
administration.
1.10.1 Zero-configuration networking
VibroSight uses a proprietary implementation of the zero-configuration networking (zeroconf)
protocols for all required networking operations. This includes the automatic discovery of and
communications between VibroSight-system components, such as VibroSight software
modules, VM600 modules/cards and VibroSmart
®
modules.
NOTE: The zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) protocols use multicast domain
name system (mDNS) messages on UDP port 5353 for device discovery, so this
UDP port number must be added as an allowed UDP port to the exceptions list in
Windows Firewall.
