DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The VM600Mk2 MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery
protection and condition monitoring modules are
designed for operation with the second generation of
VM600Mk2 rack-based machinery monitoring
system, from Parker Meggitt’s vibro-meter ® product
line. A VM600Mk2 MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module
consists of a processing module and an input /output
module that together provide 4 dynamic and
2 auxiliary channels of machinery protection and
optional condition monitoring in VM600Mk2 systems.
Note: The VM600Mk2 MPC4Mk2 module is available in
a standard version (MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 ) and
a SIL safety version (MPC4Mk2 SIL + IOC4Mk2 SIL).
VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring systems
The vibro-meter ® VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring
system is the evolution of Meggitt’s solution for the
protection and monitoring of rotating machinery used
in the energy industry. VM600Mk2 solutions are
recommended when a centralised monitoring system
with a medium to large number of measurement
points (channels) is required. It is typically used for
the monitoring and/or protection of larger machinery
such as gas, steam and hydro turbines, and
generators, smaller machines such as compressors,
fans, motors, pumps and propellers, as well as
balance-of-plant (BOP) equipment.
A VM600Mk2 system consists of a 19" rack, a rack
power supply and one or more monitoring modules.
KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES (cont’d)
• Front-panel status indicators (LEDs)
APPLICATIONS
• VM600Mk2 machinery protection (MPS) and/or
condition monitoring (CMS)
• Vibration and/or combustion monitoring
• API 670 applications
• MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 SIL version suitable for use
in functional-safety contexts in accordance with
IEC 6150
