MACHINERY PROTECTION SYSTEM (MPS) SOFTWARE
3.3.1.1 Notes on configuring the IP settings for a MPC4
Mk2
module
To check that a MPC4
Mk2
module (or any other VibroSight-compatible device) is connected
to your subnet, type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx at a Windows command prompt and then
press ENTER (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is replaced by the actual IP address of the device,
in dot-decimal notation, as displayed by VibroSight System Manager).
If the module or device replies, it is ready to communicate in your subnet. If the device does
not reply, this is probably because its IP address does not belong to the correct subnet, in
which case it must be changed.
NOTE: VibroSight System Manager displays all of the VibroSight compatible hardware
(modules and other devices) that the computer can see on the network.
Although a module/device does not need to be in the same subnet as the computer
running VibroSight in order to be detected and displayed by VibroSight System
Manager, a device does need to be in the same subnet as the computer running
VibroSight for a deployed VibroSight system.
That is, it is necessary for a VibroSight-compatible device and the computer
running VibroSight to be in the same subnet for normal system operation.
The fact that a MPC4
Mk2
module (or any other VibroSight-compatible device) appears in the
Devices tree structure of the System Explorer does not mean that the module (or device) is
in your subnet, as zeroconf (the network discovery protocols implemented in VibroSight) can
find VibroSight-compatible devices all over a network. To be able to communicate with the
device, configure an IP address belonging to the same subnet as the computer used for this
communication.
3.3.2 Identifying a MPC4
Mk2
module in a VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack using
VibroSight System Manager
VibroSight System Manager can be used to identify a MPC4
Mk2
module in a
VM600
Mk2
/VM600 rack by making the LEDs on the front panel of the module blink (flash).
This can be used to help physically identify a module in a rack, which can be useful, for
example, to identify a module before removing it from the rack or adding connections to the
corresponding input / output module in the rear of the rack.
1- Start VibroSight System Manager.
2- In the System Explorer window (left), select the Devices view (bottom).
The System Explorer window updates to display all of the VibroSight-compatible devices
that System Manager can see on the network.
3- In the System Explorer window, under MPC4 modules, select the MPC4
Mk2
module.
