1.1 Communication possibilities
Several possibilities exist for communicating with a VM600 rack. These are listed below and
summarised in Figure 1-1:
NOTE: The numbers in parentheses (…) refer to the elements of Figure 1-1.
• Ethernet / TCP/IP (1a and 1b)
Allows configuration of a rack using the VM600 MPS software (MPS1 and MPS2) or
VM600 CMS software, from Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Vibro-Meter
®
product line.
• Ethernet / CPUM Configurator (1c)
Allows communication with a rack in order to configure network adapters (IP addressing)
and modify configurations such as Modbus, NTP and/or XMx16.
Communication is supported by a CPUM card.
See 5 Ethernet communications with a VM600 rack and 6 CPUM Configurator for
additional information.
• Ethernet / Terminal emulation (1d)
Allows communication with a rack in order to configure network adapters (IP addressing)
and modify configurations such as Modbus, NTP and/or XMx16.
Communication is supported by a CPUM card.
See 5 Ethernet communications with a VM600 rack and 7 Terminal emulation for
additional information.
NOTE: See 4 Setting up an Ethernet connection for additional information.
• Ethernet / Modbus TCP (2)
Allows a distributed control system (DCS) to read discrete inputs and registers.
Communication is supported by an IOCN card.
See 8 Setting up a Modbus connection (CPUM firmware version 067 or earlier) and
9 Setting up a Modbus connection (CPUM firmware version 071 or later) for additional
information.
• Industrial Ethernet / PROFINET (3)
Allows a distributed control system (DCS) to read discrete inputs and registers.
Communication is supported by an IOCN card.
See 10 Setting up a PROFINET connection (CPUM firmware version 081 or later) for
additional information.
