DESCRIPTION

Introduction

The VM600Mk2 RLC16Mk2 relay 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 RLC16Mk2 module consists of a

single module that provides 16 additional user

configurable relays (per module) in VM600Mk2

systems, for when the 4 relays provided by a

MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module are not enough.

Note: The VM600Mk2 RLC16Mk2 module is available in

a standard version (RLC16Mk2) and a SIL safety

version (RLC16Mk2 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.

Optionally, relay modules, and rack controller and

communications interface modules can also be

included.

Two types of rack are available: a VM600Mk2 system

rack (ABE04x – 6U) that can house up to twelve

monitoring modules, and a VM600Mk2 slimline rack

(ABE056 – 1U) that can house one monitoring

module. The racks are typically mounted in standard

19" rack cabinets or enclosures installed in an

equipment room.
