DESCRIPTION

Introduction

The VM600Mk2 CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2 rack controller

and communications interface module is designed

for operation with the second generation of

VM600Mk2 rack-based machinery protection system,

from Parker Meggitt’s vibro-meter ® product line.

The CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2 module consists of central

processing unit (CPU) and input/output (interface)

modules that together act as a system controller and

data communications gateway for VM600Mk2

systems.

In critical applications where the cost of failure is

high, module redundancy with two

CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2 modules per VM600Mk2 system

rack (ABE04x) can be used to obtain true rack-level

communications redundancy. This is a cost-effective

solution where increased communications reliability

and availability are required, for example, to help

ensure uninterrupted operation in critical

environments.

Alternatively, module redundancy can be used to

implement complex communication configurations

that require more than the two fieldbuses available

per CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2 module.

VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring systems

The vibro-meter ® VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring

system is the evolution of Parker Meggitt’s solution

for the protection and monitoring of rotating

machinery used in the power generation and oil & gas

industries. 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

APPLICATIONS (continued)

• Module redundancy with two

CPUMMk2 +  IOCNMk2 modules per rack helps

ensure VM600Mk2 system communications for

applications where the cost of failure is high

• Alternatively, module redundancy (two

CPUMMk2 +  IOCNMk2 modules per rack) can be

used to implement more complex

communication configurations

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.

Different VM600Mk2 monitoring modules are

available for machinery protection, condition

monitoring and/or combustion monitoring

applications. For example, the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2

module supports both machinery protection and

condition monitoring, the XMV16 + XIO16T module

supports extended condition monitoring for vibration

and the XMC16 + XIO16T module supports extended

condition monitoring for combustion.

Note: For the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery

protection and condition monitoring module, the

machinery protection functionality is available by

default, while the condition monitoring functionality is

optional and depends on the purchased VibroSight ®

software license.

The RLC16Mk2 relay module is an optional module

used to provide additional relays when the four user

configurable relays per MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module

are not sufficient for an application.
