vi VM600 MPS quick start manual MAMPS-QS/E
Edition 2 - October 2018
Applicability of the manual
This 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 an
earlier edition of this manual.
Please note that this manual describes use of the VM600 MPSx software with a standard

configuration in English. If using a different locale, you may need to
modify certain parameters, for example, use a comma (“,”) as the decimal mark in numbers.
