IOC4T 200-560-000-019 Input/Output Card

1. Product Overview:Bridging Sensors and Monitoring Systems

The Meggitt VM600 IOC4T Input/Output Card (PNR: 200-560-000-019) is a dedicated signal interface card engineered for Meggitt’s VM600 series machinery protection systems. Designed to pair exclusively with the MPC4 machinery protection card, it acts as the critical link between field sensors (vibration, speed) and the VM600 rack’s processing modules—enabling reliable data acquisition, signal conversion, and alarm control in industrial environments.

Ideal for power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing, this card installs in the rear of VM600 racks (ABE04x/ABE056) and supports hot-swappable operation for minimal downtime. It features EMI-protected inputs/outputs, configurable analog signals, and local relays, ensuring accurate, safe monitoring of machinery health to prevent unplanned failures.

2. Key Features & Benefits: Industrial-Grade Performance & Flexibility

2.1 Versatile Signal Handling

• Dual Input Types: 4 dynamic (vibration) signal inputs + 2 tachometer (speed/phase) inputs—compatible with most industrial sensors (e.g., accelerometers, proximity probes) and signal conditioners.

• Configurable Analog Outputs: 4 channels (1 per dynamic input) with jumper-selectable 4–20 mA current or 0–10 V voltage signals—enables integration with external control systems (DCS/PLC) and data loggers.

• Buffered Raw Signals: Provides unprocessed "raw" sensor signals for advanced diagnostics, plus calibrated analog outputs for real-time monitoring of machinery conditions.

2.2 Robust Alarm & Control Capabilities

• 4 Local Relays: Software-assignable relays (RL1–RL4) for alarm triggering (e.g., MPC4 faults, Sensor OK/Danger alerts); each relay supports 1 NC/NO contact (user-configurable) for flexible safety logic.

• 32 Open-Collector Outputs: Jumper-selectable digital outputs to connect with optional RLC16/IRC4 relay cards—expands alarm capacity for complex machinery protection setups.

• Discrete Control Inputs: 3 DSI (Discrete Signal Interface) inputs (Alarm Reset, Danger Bypass, Trip Multiply) for real-time system adjustments (e.g., clearing latched alarms, adapting alarm thresholds).

2.3 Durability & Seamless Integration

• EMI/EMC Protection: All inputs/outputs filtered against electromagnetic interference, meeting EN 50081-2, EN 50082-2, and IEC 61000-6-2/4 standards—stable performance near motors, frequency converters, or high-voltage equipment.

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

• VM600 Rack Compatibility: Fits 19-inch 6U VM600 racks (ABE04x standard, ABE056 slimline) in rear slots; communicates with MPC4 via Industry Pack (IP) interface for plug-and-play integration.

5. Installation & Configuration: Seamless Setup with VM600 Systems

5.1 Installation Requirements

• Rack Compatibility: Install in rear slots of VM600 racks (ABE04x/ABE056), directly behind the paired MPC4 card; align with rack guide strips for secure seating.

• Wiring: Use J1/J2/J3 screw-terminals for sensor connections, relay outputs, and control signals—no specialized tools required.

• Hot-Swap Note: Only one card may be swapped at a time to maintain system stability; de-energize field circuits (not rack power) if required by safety protocols.

5.2 Configuration

• Software Setup: Use Meggitt’s VM600 MPSx or VibroSight® software (via RS-232/Ethernet, requires CPUx rack controller) to:

1. Assign relays to specific alarms (e.g., vibration overload, speed deviation).

2. Select analog output type (current/voltage) via jumpers.

3. Configure DSI input logic (e.g., trip multiply scale factor).

• Slot Verification: SLOT ERROR LED indicates correct installation—ensure card is paired with MPC4 in the corresponding front slot.

6. Applications: Where Signal Integrity Matters

The IOC4T card, paired with the MPC4, is critical for machinery protection in:

• Power Generation: Monitoring turbine vibration, generator speed, and pump health—triggers shutdowns for imbalance or bearing failure.

• Oil & Gas: Connecting pressure/temperature sensors to pipeline control systems; relays activate pressure relief valves or compressor alerts.

• Heavy Manufacturing: Motor vibration monitoring, gearbox condition tracking—prevents production line downtime via early fault detection.

• Aerospace & Defense: Ground equipment monitoring (e.g., fuel system pumps) – meets strict reliability standards for high-criticality applications.
