Terminology
MPC4 cards
NOTE: The MPC4 machinery protection card is available in different versions, including a
standard version, a separate circuits version and a safety (SIL) version.
See 4 MPC4 / IOC4T card pair for additional information.
In general, MPC4 is used in this manual to refer to all versions of the card. However, where
it is necessary to make a distinction, MPC4 is used to indicate the standard and separate
circuits versions of the card and MPC4SIL is used to indicate the safety version.
