8.1 Introduction
The VM600 MPS is a modular system with cards being installed in a 19" x 6U rack (type
ABE040 or ABE042). ABE040 and ABE042 racks have 21 VME slots, designated slot 0 to
slot 20 (from left to right, as seen from the front). ABE056 racks have two VME slots on the
back and one VME slot on the front. One slot is designated slot 1 and the other slot x, since
it can be set to any slot from slot 3 to 14.
The front and rear card cages of the rack are partitioned by a backplane. Each side of the
backplane is equipped with connectors allowing modules and cards to be quickly and easily
installed.
The following elements are connected to the backplane by installing them from the front of
the rack:
• RPS6U rack power supply (ABE04x only)
• MPC4 machinery protection card
• AMC8 analog monitoring card
• CPUM modular CPU card (ABE04x only).
The following elements are connected to the backplane by installing them from the rear of
the rack:
• IOC4T input/output card, for use with the MPC4
• IOC8T input/output card, for use with the AMC8
• IOCN input/output card, for use with the CPUM (ABE04x only)
• RLC16 relay card
• IRC4 intelligent relay card.
If the ABE04x rack is intended for use as a condition monitoring system (CMS) as well as an
machinery protection system (MPS), it can contain additional hardware.
A condition monitoring system (CMS) using the VM600 CMS software from the Meggitt
vibro-meter
®
product line can use the following hardware:
• CMC16 condition monitoring card (ABE04x only)
• IOC16T input/output card, for use with the CMC16 (ABE04x only).
NOTE: Further information on this CMS hardware can be found in the
VM600 condition monitoring system (CMS) hardware manual (MACMS-HW/E).
