Channel inhibit function
CONFIGURATION OF MPC4 / IOC4T CARDS
9.8 Channel inhibit function
The channel inhibit function can only be activated using software, that is, there is no
equivalent DSI input.
The channel inhibit function is activated when one of the VM600 MPS software packages
(MPS1 or MPS2) is used to send channel inhibit commands to individual MPC4 channels
(Communications > To MPC > Channel Inhibits).
Alternatively, Modbus can be used to control the channel inhibit function for a networked
VM600 machinery protection system (containing a CPUM card).
For further information on the channel inhibit function, see 4.6.6 Channel inhibit function.
