The RLC16 panel (rear of rack) contains three terminal strips, identified as J1. J2 and J3

(seeFigure2-14). Each strip consists of a socket and a mating connector, which contains 16

screw terminals. The screw terminals can accept wires with a cross-section of ≤1.5mm2.

Figure2-14(a) shows the appearance of the RLC16 panel without the three mating

connectors. In this configuration, the engraving showing the terminal definitions is clearly

seen. Figure2-14(b) shows the appearance of the panel when the three mating connectors

are inserted

IRC4 intelligent relay card (ABE04x and ABE056)

The IRC4 panel (rear of rack) contains two terminal strips, identified as J1 and J2

(seeFigure2-15). Each strip consists of a socket and a mating connector, which contains 16

screw terminals. The screw terminals can accept wires with a cross-section of ≤1.5mm2.

Figure2-15(a) shows the appearance of the IRC4 panel without the 2 mating connectors. In

this configuration, the engraving showing the terminal definitions is clearly seen.

Figure2-15(b) shows the appearance of the panel when the 2 mating connectors are

inserted.

In practice, this means that a single RPS6U rack power supply can now supply power to a

VM600 rack full of machinery protection and/or condition monitoring cards under normal

operating conditions. Although, with 12x processing cards in a VM600 rack, forced-air

cooling is strongly recommended.

For an existing VM600 system, it is important to note that simply replacing an old RPS6U rack

power supply (300W) with a new one (330W) should not be used as a way to increase the

maximum output power available in order to add more cards to the rack – because the rack

backplane may not support the additional currents involved. If you are considering this,

please contact your Meggitt representative, who will help you to assess how many cards can

be safely added to your system without replacing the rack.

For an existing VM600 system with rack power supply redundancy, it is possible to replace

only one RPS6U rack power supply so that the new (330W) and old (300W) versions of the

RPS6U operate together, although it is recommended to replace both in such a case.

2.10.2 Identifying different versions of the RPS6U rack power supply

The different versions of the RPS6U rack power can be visually identified from their panels,

as an LED text label is different.

• For both the AC-input and DC-input versions of the higher-power RPS6U rack power

supply (PNR 200-582-x00-02h or later) that provides 330W, the text label of the LED

(top) used to indicate the status of the external mains supply is labelled “IN”, as shown

in Figure2-16(a).

• For the AC-input version of the original RPS6U rack power supply (PNR

200-582-x00-01h or earlier) that provides 300W, the text label of the LED (top) used to

indicate the status of the external mains supply is labelled “AC”, as shown in

Figure2-16(b).

For the DC-input versions of the original RPS6U rack power supply (PNR

200-582-x00-01h or earlier) that provide 300W, the text label of the LED (top) used to

indicate the status of the external mains supply is labelled “DC”, as shown in

Figure2-16(b)
