parkerQUICK START MANUAL VM600 machinery protection system (MPS)

The IP address of the CPUM card must be defined for VM600 racks employing this type of

card (that is, networked racks).

Unless otherwise specified at the time of ordering, each CPUM card is given the IP address

of 10.10.56.56 in the factory before delivery of the system. However, it is strongly

recommended to change this IP address, which can be done using the CPUM Configurator

software or a terminal emulator program.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 networking manual for further information.

 OPERATING THE SYSTEM

This chapter provides a brief overview of the operation of VM600 machinery protection

system (MPS) hardware. Functional information is also given for certain elements, such as

connectors, LEDs and buttons.

NOTE: For further on VM600 cards, refer to the VM600 machinery protection system

(MPS) hardware manual.

2.1 Card features and operation

2.1.1 MPC4 machinery protection card

Figure 2-1 shows an MPC4 machinery protection card and describes the meaning of the

card’s LEDs.

An MPC4 card has the following connectors:

• BNC connectors RAW OUT 1 to RAW OUT 4

• BNC connectors TACHO OUT 1 and TACHO OUT 2

• RS-232 connector.

NOTE: For information on communicating with an MPC4 card, see 1.7 Connecting to a

computer.

An MPC4 card has the following front panel LEDs:

• One global DIAG/STATUS indicator for the MPC4 / IOC4T card pair

• Status indicators for the four measurement channels and the 2 rotational speed

channels.

2.1.2 IOC4T input/output card

Figure 2-2 shows an IOC4T input/output card (required by MPC4 cards) both a) without

mating connectors and b) when mating connectors are inserted. It also describes the

meaning of the card’s LED.

An IOC4T card has three connectors: J1, J2 and J3 and a slot error indicator LED on the front

panel.

2.1.5 CPUM modular CPU card

Figure 2-5 shows the elements of an CPUM modular CPU card, describes their purpose and

gives an enlarged view of the display. 

A CPUM card has the following elements on its front panel:

• A display with potentiometer to adjust contrast

• RS-232 connector

• Ethernet connector

• Three status LEDs

• Diagnostic LED

• Slot selection buttons

• Alarm reset button.

NOTE: For information on communicating with a CPUM card, see 1.7 Connecting to a

computer.

2.1.6 IOCN input/output card

Figure 2-6 shows the elements of an IOCN input/output card (optional for CPUM cards) and

describes their purpose.

An IOCN card has the following connectors:

• RS connector (type RJ11)

• Two serial communications connectors for the Modbus/RTU communication protocol

(group A)

• Two serial communications connectors for the Modbus/RTU communication protocol

(group B)

• Two Ethernet connectors.

2.1.7 RLC16 relay card

Figure 2-7 shows an RLC16 relay card both a) without mating connectors and b) with mating

connectors. 

2.1.8 IRC4 relay card

Figure 2-7 shows an IRC4 relay card both a) without mating connectors and b) with mating

connectors. 

The screw-terminal connectors of an RLC16 relay card can be connected to

hazardous voltages (up to 250 VAC nominal rate voltage).

Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual

and observe all safety instructions before installing and using RLC16 relay

cards.

The screw-terminal connectors of an IRC4 relay card can be connected to

hazardous voltages (up to 250 VAC nominal rate voltage).

Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual

and observe all safety instructions and before installing and using IRC4

relay cards

COMMON MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

This chapter provides a brief overview of common maintenance procedures for VM600

machinery protection system (MPS) hardware. Information is provided on the replacement

and configuration of cards.

NOTE: For further information on replacing VM600 cards, refer to the VM600 machinery

protection system (MPS) hardware manual.

3.1 Replacing cards

Certain precautions must be observed when replacing cards. 

3.1.1 Hot swapping

The following cards have ‘hot swapping’ capability, that is, they can be removed from and

inserted into a VM600 MPS (ABE04x) rack while it is powered up (a technique also known as

‘live insertion’):

• MPC4 and its associated IOC4T card

• AMC8 and its associated IOC8T card

• RLC16

• RPS6U.

A single RPS6U rack power supply can be replaced in racks employing two such power

supplies to support rack power supply redundancy (see 1.4 Connecting power).

However, it is necessary to power down a VM600 MPS (ABE04x) rack before inserting or

removing any of the following cards or devices:

• CPUM

• RPS6U, in racks employing a single power supply.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN VM600 SYSTEM RACKS (ABE04X), AS

INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON THE EQUIPMENT:

SEE ALSO HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ON PAGE IX. 

HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURES CAN EXIST WITHIN AND ON VM600 SYSTEM

RACKS (ABE04X), AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON

THE EQUIPMENT:

SEE ALSO HOT SURFACES AND THE RISK OF BURNING ON PAGE IX. 

When handling cards, the necessary precautions should be taken to

prevent damage due to electrostatic discharges.

See Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices on page x for

further information.
