1.2 System overview
The VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) is a digital machinery protection system
designed for use in industrial applications. It is intended primarily for vibration monitoring to
assure the protection of rotating machinery as used in, for example, the power generation,
petro-chemical and petroleum industries as well as in marine related applications.
The VM600 series of machinery protection and condition monitoring systems from Meggitt’s
Vibro-Meter
®
product line are based around a 19" rack containing various types of cards,
depending on the application.
There are basically two types of system:
• VM600 machinery protection system (MPS – 1U or 6U rack).
• VM600 condition monitoring system (CMS – 1U or 6U rack).
It is also possible to integrate MPS and CMS hardware into the same VM600 rack (ABE04x).
NOTE: This manual describes machinery protection system (MPS) hardware only.
Further information on condition monitoring system hardware can be found in the
VM600 condition monitoring system (CMS) hardware manual.
In its most basic configuration, a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) consists of the
following hardware:
1- VM600 rack: 19" system rack x 6U (ABE04x) or 19" slimline rack x 1U (ABE056)
NOTE: ABE04x refers to both the ABE040 and ABE042, which are identical apart from the
position of the rack mounting brackets.
2- RPS6U rack power supply (ABE04x only)
When an AC-input version of the RPS6U is installed in a VM600 rack, the optional ASPS
auxiliary sensor power supply can be used to replace external power supplies such as
the APF19x 24 V
DC
power supplies.
3- MPC4 machinery protection card
4- IOC4T input/output card for the MPC4
5- AMC8 analog monitoring card
6- IOC8T input/output card for the AMC8.
The MPC4 and IOC4T cards form an inseparable card pair and one cannot be used without
the other. These cards are used primarily to monitor vibration for the purposes of machinery
protection.
Similarly, the AMC8 and IOC8T cards form an inseparable card pair and one cannot be used
without the other. These cards are used primarily to monitor quasi-static parameters such as
temperature, fluid level or flow rate for the purposes of machinery protection.
