Tag: VM600-ABE042

The VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE040 and ABE042 system racks are designed to house hardware for the VM600Mk2/VM600 series of mechanical protection and/or condition monitoring systems from the Megget Vibrometer ® product line.
The VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE04x system rack has two models :ABE040 and ABE042.
These are very similar, different only in the position of mounting brackets. Both racks have a standard height of 6U and provide mounting space (rack slots) for up to 15 single-width VM600Mk2/VM600 modules (card pairs), or a combination of single-width and multi-width modules (cards). These racks are particularly suitable for industrial environments where the device must be permanently installed in a 19 “cabinet or panel.

Different versions of ABE04x system racks support different installation options to support a variety of markets and applications.
The VM600 system rack features an integrated VME backplane that provides electrical interconnection between the installed VM600Mk2/VM600 modules (cards) : power, signal processing, input/output, relays, and CPUx “rack controllers”. The RPS6U also includes a power check relay, which is installed at the rear of the rack to indicate whether the installed RPS6U rack power is operating properly.
One or two RPS6U cabinet power supplies can be installed in the VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE04x system rack. A cabinet with a single RPS6U power supply (330w) can supply power to the entire chassis
Module (card) racks in applications with operating temperatures up to 50°C(122°F). In addition, two RPS6U power supplies can be installed in one rack to support rack power redundancy, or to provide non-redundant power to modules (cards) under a wider range of environmental conditions (see Power Supplies on page 4).
The VM600Mk2/VM600 processing module (card) is installed in the front of the rack, and the corresponding input/output module (card) is installed in the rear of the rack. Input/output modules (cards) provide connectors to connect sensors/measurement chains and share various signals with external systems such as DCS or PLCS.
In general, the VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE04x system racks are configured in the factory before delivery, so they are ready-to-use. Optionally, each module (card) can be reconfigured to meet the needs of a specific mechanical monitoring application, using the appropriate software package, from Megget VibroSight® :VM600 MPSx or Vibrosight ®.
