Edition 9 - February 2018
Communication possibilities
VM600 NETWORKING INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
• RS-232, RS-485/422 / Modbus RTU (4)
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.
• RS-232 / Terminal emulation (5)
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 3 Serial communications with a VM600 rack and 7 Terminal emulation for additional
information.
• RS-232 / Proprietary protocol (6)
Allows configuration of a stand-alone rack using the MPS1 software, from Meggitt
Sensing Systems’ Vibro-Meter
®
product line.
Communication is supported directly by a MPC4 or an AMC8 card, so it is not strictly
VM600 networking and will not be considered further in this manual.
NOTE: Refer to the VM600 MPS1 configuration software for machinery protection
systems software manual for additional information.
• RS-232 / PPP (Point-to-point protocol)
Allows configuration of a rack using the VM600 MPS software (MPS1 and MPS2) or
CMS software, from Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Vibro-Meter
®
product line.
Communication is supported by a CPUM card.
The use of the point-to-point protocol (PPP) for VM600 networking is deprecated and has
not been supported since CPUM firmware version 072.
NOTE: Refer to the VM600 networking manual, edition 6 (or earlier), for additional
information.
