IOC16T 200-565-000-013 INPUT/OUTPUT CARD

1. Product Overview:Bridging Sensors and Condition Monitoring Systems

The Meggitt VM600 IOC16T Input/Output Card (PNR: 200-565-000-013) is a 16-channel signal interface card designed exclusively to pair with Meggitt’s VM600 series CMC16 Condition Monitoring Card. Engineered for industrial environments like power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing, it acts as the critical link between field sensors (vibration, speed, process transducers) and the CMC16—enabling reliable signal conditioning, EMI-protected data acquisition, and flexible communication.

Installed in the rear of VM600 racks (ABE04x/ABE055 Portable CMS), this card supports hot-swappable operation for minimal downtime. It features configurable channel functions, dual communication options, and robust signal protection, ensuring accurate data transmission to drive proactive machinery health monitoring and prevent unplanned failures.

2. Key Features & Benefits:Industrial-Grade Versatility & Reliability

2.1 16-Channel Configurable Inputs

• Flexible Channel Allocation:

• First 4 channels: Selectable as tacho (speed/phase) or dynamic (vibration) inputs (ideal for monitoring rotating machinery speed and vibration).

• Last 12 channels: Selectable as dynamic (vibration) or process (temperature, pressure) inputs (supports thermocouples, accelerometers, proximity probes).

• DIL Switch Control: Channel functions (input type, signal routing) set via on-board micro-switches—no software reconfiguration needed for basic adjustments.

• Dual Signal Routing: Inputs can connect via 48 screw-terminal connectors (direct sensor wiring) or VM600 backplane (Raw Bus/Tacho Bus) for pre-routed signals, reducing on-site wiring work.

2.2 Robust Signal Protection & Conditioning

• EMI/EMC Compliance: All inputs feature EMI filtering and surge protection, meeting industrial electromagnetic compatibility standards—stable performance near high-voltage equipment, motors, or frequency converters.

• Dedicated Signal Conditioning: On-board circuitry handles pulse shaping, level adjustment, and AC/DC selection for tacho, vibration, and process signals—ensures clean, calibrated data for the CMC16.

• Isolation: Provides 50 V isolation for serial communication and plant-side signals, preventing ground loops and electrical interference from affecting measurement accuracy.

2.3 Flexible Communication & Integration

• Two Communication Modes:

• VMEbus + Ethernet: Connects to CPU M modules (slot 0 of VM600 racks) for Ethernet data transfer to external systems (DCS/PLC).

• Isolated RS-485: Multi-drop serial communication (up to 1220 m without repeaters) for direct PC connection (supported by Unix-based 501 software).

• VM600 Rack Compatibility: Fits 19-inch 6U VM600 racks (ABE04x standard, ABE055 portable) in rear slots, aligning with the system’s front-processing (CMC16) + rear-I/O layout.

• Hot-Swappable Design: Enables live insertion/removal without system shutdown, reducing maintenance downtime for critical monitoring setups.

4. Certifications & Compliance: Global Safety & Quality Standards

The IOC16T card meets strict international regulations to ensure safe, compliant operation:

• EMC/EMI Protection: Conforms to industrial standards for electromagnetic interference resistance, ensuring stable performance in noisy industrial environments.

• Electrical Safety: Designed with isolation and surge protection to meet IEC/EN 61010-1 (industrial electrical safety) and regional safety requirements.

• Environmental: RoHS compliant (restricts hazardous substances in manufacturing); suitable for harsh industrial conditions with wide temperature and humidity ranges.

• Regional Compatibility: Aligns with global standards for use in EU, Eurasian Customs Union, and North American industrial markets (via VM600 system certifications).

5.Installation & Configuration: Seamless Setup with VM600 Systems

5.1 Installation Requirements

• Rack Compatibility: Install in rear slots of VM600 racks (ABE04x/ABE055), directly behind the paired CMC16 card; align with rack guide strips for secure seating.

• Wiring: Use 48 screw-terminal connectors for direct sensor connections, or select Raw Bus/Tacho Bus via DIL switches for backplane-routed signals.

• Hot-Swap Note: Only one card may be swapped at a time to maintain system stability; follow VM600 safety guidelines for power handling.

5.2 Configuration

• Channel Setup: Use on-board DIL switches to set channel functions (tacho/dynamic/process) and signal routing (terminals/backplane).

• Communication Configuration:

• For VMEbus + Ethernet: Ensure CPU M module is installed in slot 0 of the VM600 rack; configure via VM600 MPSx software.

• For RS-485: Connect to PC via RJ connectors; set baud rate (19,200/38,400) to match 501X software requirements.

6. Applications: Where Multi-Channel Monitoring Adds Value

The IOC16T card, paired with the CMC16, is critical for condition monitoring in:

• Power Generation: Turbines, generators, and pumps—monitors speed (tacho) and vibration (dynamic) to detect rotor imbalance or bearing wear.

• Oil & Gas: Compressors, pipelines, and offshore equipment—tracks process parameters (pressure/temperature) and machinery vibration for early fault detection.

• Heavy Manufacturing: Motors, gearboxes, and production lines—combines dynamic and process inputs to correlate machinery health with operational conditions.

• Portable Monitoring: ABE055 rack compatibility enables on-site testing of rotating machinery (e.g., temporary fault diagnosis for critical assets).
