parkerVM600Mk2 machinery protection system (MPS)

VM600 rack infrastructure (that is, the first-generation VM600 cards/systems (VM600Mk1)).

Different versions of VM600Mk2/VM600 MPS racks and modules can be visually identified

from the front panels of the rack and modules. For each module, the lower handle on the front

panel includes the module’s name.

For a VM600Mk2 MPS, the main modules are:

• MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery protection and condition monitoring module

• RLC16Mk2 relay module

• CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2 rack controller and communications interface module.

Users of a VM600Mk2 MPS should use this VM600Mk2 machinery protection system (MPS)

quick start manual and refer to a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware

manual, as required.

For reference, for a VM600 MPS, the main equivalent cards (modules) are:

• MPC4/IOC4T machinery protection card pair

• RLC16 relay card

• CPUx/IOCx (CPUM) rack controller and communications interface module.

Users of a VM600 MPS should refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS)

quick start manual and refer to a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware

manual, as required.

Terminology

To distinguish between the different generations of VM600Mk2/VM600 MPS racks and

modules/cards from the Meggitt vibro-meter® product line, the following terminology is used

in this document.

Hardware

VM600Mk2 MPS, rack or system – used to refer to a VM600Mk2/VM600 rack containing one

or more of the following machinery protection system (MPS) modules: MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2

machinery protection and condition monitoring module, RLC16Mk2 relay module, and

CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2 rack controller and communications interface module, (that is, a

second-generation VM600Mk2 system).

VM600 MPS, rack or system – used to refer to a VM600 rack containing one or more of the

following machinery protection system (MPS) cards (modules): MPC4/IOC4T machinery

protection card pair, RLC16 relay card, AMC8/IOC8T analog monitoring card pair, and

CPUx/IOCx (CPUM) rack controller and communications interface module (that is,

first-generation VM600 systems (VM600Mk1)).

Software

VibroSight® is proprietary software from Meggitt vibro-meter® for the configuration, operation

and management of VM600Mk2/VM600 rack-based systems and VibroSmart® distributed

monitoring system (DMSs). 

VibroSight Protect is a separate VibroSight® software module used for the configuration and

operation of a VM600Mk2 MPS. This helps ensure complete separation (“segregation”) of

machinery protection system (MPS) and condition monitoring system (CMS) in a single

VM600Mk2/VM600 rack.
