1 - 2 VM600 MPS hardware manual (standard version) MAMPS-HW/E
Edition 17 - February 2018
General overview
INTRODUCTION
In general, a VM600 rack used for machinery protection can contain:
• Only MPC4 / IOC4T card pairs
• Only AMC8 / IOC8T card pairs
• A combination of MPC4 / IOC4T and AMC8 / IOC8T card pairs.
Depending on the application, the following type of cards can also be installed in the rack:
7- RLC16 relay card (16 relays) and IRC4 intelligent relay card (eight relays combined as
either 4 DPDT or 8 SPDT).
All the above items can be used to make a stand-alone MPS system, that is, one that is not
connected to a network.
A networked version of the MPS will in addition contain the following hardware in the ABE04x
rack:
8- CPUM modular CPU card
9- IOCN input/output card for the CPUM.
Depending on the application (and irrespective of whether the rack is used in a stand-alone
or a networked configuration), one or more of the following power supplies can be used
outside an ABE04x rack:
• APF19x 24 V
DC
power supplies
• Any equivalent low-noise power supply provided by the customer.
These devices must be used for GSI1xx galvanic separation units, GSV safety barriers and
transducer and signal conditioner front-ends having a current requirement greater than
25 mA. They will often be mounted in the cubicle in which the rack is installed.
NOTE: Auxiliary sensor power supplies (ASPSs) installed in an ABE04x rack perform the
same function as external power supplies such as the APF19x 24 V
DC
power
supplies. That is, they are used to power external hardware such as GSI galvanic
separation units or signal conditioners that require more power than can be
provided by an MPC4 / IOC4T card pair.
NOTE: Refer to the individual data sheets for full technical specifications of the MPS
hardware (see Appendix B - Data sheets).
Finally, a combined machinery protection and condition monitoring system can integrate the
following condition monitoring hardware in an ABE04x (6U) rack:
• XMx16/XIO16T extended monitoring card pairs.
NOTE: Further information on the condition monitoring system hardware can be found in
the VM600 condition monitoring system (CMS) hardware manual.
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show front and rear views of a typical VM600 (6U) rack containing
machinery protection system (MPS) hardware.
