Vibro-meter VM600 Mk2
The Vibro-Meter VM600Mk2 is an advanced vibration monitoring and protection system for complex and critical rotating machinery. Its high channel density and fully configurable 19-inch card structure makes it suitable for complex installations and large (critical) machinery.
Modular system structure
The efficient 19″ modular card structure makes it possible to create application-specific monitoring, protection or combined systems.
SIL-certified protection
The VM600Mk2 protection cards have been designed to meet the requirements for SIL 2 certified vibration protection, making the system suitable to deliver protection to the most critical rotating machinery.
Centralized architecture
Its centralized architecture enables a high channel density, making the VM600Mk2 eminent in delivering advanced vibration protection and monitoring to large (critical) machinery.
“The most advanced vibration protection and monitoring system for critical rotating machinery”
Design
The Vibro-Meter VM600Mk2 is designed to deliver to most advanced vibration monitoring and protection (SIL 2) and is eminent for large critical rotating machinery with higher channel counts. Its modular 19″ cards allows users to build a system that suits application-specific demands.
In addition, the system can be integrated with VibroSight software, which enables detailed insights into the condition of rotating machinery and offers extensive analysis options.
Applications
The VM600Mk2 is suitable for plants where rotating machinery is concentrated in one area, requiring centralized monitoring with higher channel counts. Typical applications include:
■ Gas turbines
■ Steam turbines
■ Hydro turbines
■ Other critical rotating machinery
Features
System segregation
The VM600Mk2 uses a single type of card (MPC4Mk2) for monitoring and condition monitoring. However, these functions are strictly separated to ensure API 670 compliance and lower costs. The separate (optional) XMV16 condition monitoring card can be used for applications with a large number of channels.
High channel density
A stand-alone VM600Mk2 protection card has 4 input channels, but can be scaled up to 48 input channels per VM600Mk2 rack, allowing to extend vibration protection to the most demanding rotating machinery.
Advanced monitoring
The separate VM600Mk2 condition monitoring card delivers 16 dynamic channels and 4 tachometer channels, which are all independently configurable to deliver unparalleled accuracy and reliability.
