About Meggitt, Meggitt Sensing Systems and Vibro-Meter
Headquartered in the UK, Meggitt PLC is a global engineering group specialising in extreme
environment components and smart sub-systems for aerospace, defence and energy
markets.
Meggitt Sensing Systems is the operating division of Meggitt specialising in sensing and
monitoring systems, which has operated through its antecedents since 1927 under the
names of ECET, Endevco, Ferroperm Piezoceramics, Lodge Ignition, Sensorex and
Vibro-Meter. Today, these operations are integrated under one strategic business unit called
Meggitt Sensing Systems, headquartered in Switzerland and providing complete systems,
using these renowned brands, from a single supply base.
The Meggitt Sensing Systems facility in Fribourg, Switzerland operates as the legal entity
Meggitt SA (formerly Vibro-Meter SA). This site produces a wide range of vibration, dynamic
pressure, proximity, air-gap and other sensors capable of operation in extreme environments,
electronic monitoring and protection systems, and innovative software for aerospace and
land-based turbomachinery. This includes the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS)
produced for the Vibro-Meter
®
product line.
Who should use this manual?
The manual is written for operators of process monitoring/control systems using a
VM600 machinery protection system (MPS).
Operators are assumed to have the necessary technical training in electronics and
mechanical engineering (professional certificate/diploma, or equivalent) to enable them to
install, program and use the system.
Applicability of the manual
The manual applies to a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) using the new
generation of VM600 MPC4 cards (hardware versions 03x, 11x, 21x and subsequent
models). These later cards are easily distinguished from earlier models as they have seven
LEDs on their panels, whereas previous versions (01x and 02x) had only one LED (identified
as DIAG).
Users of systems having earlier versions of the MPC4 card should refer to edition 4 of this
manual.
