Speed:
• Auxiliary channels only (tachometers) – with speed/tacho sensors (for example, proximity sensors)

Notes:
In general, the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module supports one processing block – dynamic or auxiliary – per input
channel.
A maximum of 6 single-channel processing blocks can be configured per MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module (that is,
four for dynamic channels and two for auxiliary channels).
A maximum of 3 dual-channel processing blocks can be configured per MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module (that is,
two for dynamic channels and one for auxiliary channels).
For each processing block, there are 2 to 10 processed outputs (data extractions), depending on the function.
Dual-channel processing
X-Y bearing absolute vibration:
• Dynamic channels only – with accelerometers or velocity sensors
• Fixed-frequency data acquisition
• Band-pass or ISO 2954 filtering
• Orbits – 1 unfiltered overall orbit (OVR orbit) and up to 6 filtered orbits (1X, 2X, etc.)
• Full spectrum – with up to 6 frequency-domain measurements (1X, 2X, Not 1X, etc.)
• 1 time-domain measurement (Vmax).
Note: Vmax can be calculated using the real maximum displacement value directly from the orbit (that is, the
largest radius from the unfiltered orbit), which is a peak measurement.
Alternatively, Vmax can be calculated using an X-Y max discriminator that uses the maximum value of the
peak-to-peak displacement values measured in two orthogonal directions of the unfiltered orbit, which is a
peak-peak measurement.
X-Y shaft relative vibration:
• Dynamic channels only – with proximity sensors
• Fixed-frequency data acquisition
• Band-pass filtering

• Shaft centerline
• Full spectrum – with up to 6 frequency-domain measurements (1X, 2X, Not 1X, etc.)
• 1 time-domain measurement (Smax).
Note: Smax can be calculated using the real maximum displacement value directly from the orbit (that is, the
largest radius from the unfiltered orbit), which is a peak measurement (ISO 7919-1 Method C).
Alternatively, Vmax can be calculated using an X-Y max discriminator that uses the maximum value of the
peak-to-peak displacement values measured in two orthogonal directions of the unfiltered orbit, which is a
peak-peak measurement (ISO 7919-1 Method B).
