204-040-100-012
The Meggitt VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE040 System Rack (PNR: 204-040-100-012) is a rugged 19-inch 6U rack engineered to house hardware for machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. As a core component of Meggitt’s industrial sensing ecosystem—trusted in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing—it provides a modular, secure platform for integrating processing modules, input/output (I/O) cards, and power supplies.
Designed for permanent cabinet or panel mounting, this rack features a robust aluminium construction, integrated backplane for seamless module communication, and flexible power supply options (single or redundant). It ensures stable operation in harsh industrial environments, serving as the backbone for real-time machinery health monitoring and safety-critical control.


19-Inch 6U Form Factor: Standard rack size compatible with most industrial cabinets/panels, offering mounting space for up to 15 single-width modules (card pairs) or a mix of single/multi-width modules.
Dedicated Slot Configuration: Front slots for processing/controller modules (e.g., MPC4Mk2, CPUx) and rear slots for I/O/relay modules (e.g., IOC4Mk2, RLC16)—ensuring organized, accessible wiring and clear separation of signal processing and field connections.
Blank Panel Compatibility: Requires blank panels for unpopulated slots (safety compliance); multiple panel widths (1× to 4× slots) available to cover unused space and maintain environmental protection.
Aluminium Frame: Extruded aluminium structural parts with plastic guide strips for modules—resists corrosion, mechanical damage, and temperature-related warping in industrial settings.
Integrated Backplane: Supports dual communication layers:
VME Bus: Enables data exchange between CPUx rack controllers and processing modules (e.g., MPC4Mk2).
VM600 System Buses: Tacho, Raw, and Open Collector (OC) buses for seamless signal sharing between I/O, relay, and processing modules.
Power Supply Check Relay: Built-in relay at the rear of the rack to indicate RPS6U power supply status, enabling quick troubleshooting of power anomalies (e.g., voltage drops, supply failure).
Single or Dual RPS6U Power Supplies: Accommodates 1 or 2 RPS6U rack power supplies (330W each) to match application needs:
Single Supply: Powers a full rack of modules in environments with operating temperatures up to 50°C (122°F).
Redundant Supplies: Ensures 100% power continuity if one supply fails—critical for safety-critical applications (e.g., turbine monitoring, pipeline control).
Non-Redundant Dual Supplies: Extends operation to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) by offsetting power derating, ideal for high-heat industrial settings.
