or condition monitoring systems

DESCRIPTION

The VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE056 slimline rack is used

to house hardware for the VM600Mk2/ VM600

series of machinery protection and/or condition

monitoring systems, from Meggitt’s vibro-meter ®

product line.

The VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE056 slimline rack has a

standard height of 1U and provides mounting

space (rack slots) for one single-width VM600Mk2/

VM600 processing module (card pair) and a relay

module (card). This rack is particularly suitable for

industrial environments, where equipment must

be permanently installed in 19 ″ cabinets or

panels.

Different versions of the integrated RPS1U power

supply enable a VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE056 slimline

rack to be powered using either an external AC or

DC mains supply. Both the power supplies support

a wide input voltage range.

The rack has an integrated backplane that

provides the electrical interconnections between

the integrated power supply (RPS1U) and the

installed VM600Mk2/ VM600 modules (cards). It

also includes a power supply check relay,

available at the rear of the rack, which indicates

DESCRIPTION (continued)

that the integrated power supply is operating

normally.

VM600Mk2/ VM600 processing modules (cards) are

installed in the front of the rack and the

associated input /output modules (cards) are

installed in the rear. The input /output modules

(cards) provide connectors for the connection of

sensors/measurement chains and for the sharing

of various signals with external systems such as a

DCS or PLC.

In general, VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE056 slimline

racks are configured in the factory before

delivery so they are supplied ready-to-use.

Optionally, each module (card) can be

reconfigured to meet the needs of a particular

machinery monitoring application using the

appropriate software package from

Meggitt Vibro-Meter : VibroSight ® or VM600 MPSx.

For further information, contact your local

Meggitt representative.

SPECIFICATIONS

General

Housing : Zinc-plated painted sheet steel

Colour :Grey white (RAL 9002)

Power supply :An integrated RPS1U power supply provides the VM600Mk2/ VM600

rack itself and all installed modules (cards) with + 5 VDC and

±12 VDC.

See also AC-input power supply on page 3 and DC-input power

supply on page 3.

Power supply input : The power supply input has an AC or DC connector (with an

RFI filter) and an on/off switch.

See Ordering information on page 6 for information on mains power

supply leads (power cords).

Backplane :Proprietary VM600Mk2/ VM600 rack bus (Open collector (OC) bus)

for data/signal sharing between modules (cards)

Rack slots

(module (card) positions)

: Front of rack:

• 1 × slot – module (card) position 01 – for a processing module

(card) such as MPC4Mk2. XMx16. MPC4 or AMC8.

Rear of rack:

• 1 × slot – module (card) position 01 – for an associated input /

output module (card) such as IOC4Mk2. XIO16T, IOC4T or IOC8T.

• 1 × slot – module (card) position 00 – for an associated relay

module (card) such as RLC16Mk2 or RLC16.

See also Mechanical drawings on page 5.

Notes

In general, associated input /output modules (cards) are required

while relay modules (cards) are optional.

For safety reasons, any VM600Mk2/ VM600 rack slot not populated

by a module (card) must be covered by a blank panel.
