Product Overview


Dynamic signal inputs are fully programmable, accepting signals representing acceleration, velocity, displacement (proximity), and more. On - board multichannel processing enables the measurement of various physical parameters, including relative and absolute vibration, Smax, eccentricity, thrust position, absolute and differential housing expansion, displacement, and dynamic pressure.


It comes in three versions: standard, separate circuits, and safety (SIL), all functioning as a card pair with a corresponding IOC4T input/output card. Some versions feature a conformal coating on the circuitry, offering additional protection against chemicals, dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Both the standard and safety (SIL) versions are certified to IEC 61508 and ISO 13849, suitable for functional safety contexts like SIL 1 (per IEC 61508) and PL c (per ISO 13849 - 1).

Features


Versatile Signal Handling

The dynamic signal inputs are fully programmable, allowing them to accept a wide range of signals such as acceleration, velocity, and displacement. This versatility makes the card suitable for various measurement scenarios in different industrial settings.

Advanced Digital Processing

It offers a range of digital processing capabilities including digital filtering, integration or differentiation (if needed), rectification (RMS, mean value, true peak or true peak - to - peak), order tracking (amplitude and phase), and measurement of the sensor - target gap. These functions ensure accurate and detailed analysis of the monitored signals.

Flexible Speed Inputs

The speed (tachometer) inputs can accept signals from various speed sensors, including those based on proximity probes, magnetic pulse pickup sensors, or TTL signals. They also support fractional tachometer ratios, enhancing their adaptability.

Customizable Alarm Settings

Alert and Danger set points are fully programmable, along with alarm time delay, hysteresis, and latching. The levels can also be adjusted based on speed or external information, providing tailored protection for different machinery.

Comprehensive Self - monitoring

The MPC4 performs a self - test and diagnostic routine on power - up. The built - in “OK system” continuously monitors the signal levels from the measurement chain, indicating issues like broken transmission lines, faulty sensors, or signal conditioners.

Clear Indication

An LED indicator on the front panel shows processing or hardware errors. Six additional LEDs (one per input channel) indicate faults detected by the OK System and alarms on the channel, facilitating quick troubleshooting.


Applications


The MPC4 VM600 Machinery Protection Card, when paired with an IOC4T input/output card, is highly suitable for machinery monitoring and protection in a wide range of industrial applications. It can be used in power plants to monitor turbines and generators, ensuring their stable operation. In the chemical industry, it protects pumps, compressors, and other critical machinery from potential failures. Manufacturing facilities also benefit from it, as it safeguards various production equipment, minimizing downtime and maintaining production efficiency.

The MPC4 card is available in three versions: a “standard” version, a “separate circuits” version and a “safety” (SIL) version, all of which function as a card pair using a corresponding IOC4T input/ output card. Different versions of the MPC4 card The MPC4 card is available in different versions, including “standard”, “separate circuits” and “safety” (SIL) versions. In addition, some versions are available with a conformal coating applied to the circuitry of the card for additional environmental protection against chemicals, dust, moisture and temperature extremes.


Both the ‘standard’ version and the “safety” (SIL) versions of the MPC4 card are certified to IEC 61508 and ISO 13849, for use in functional safety contexts, such as SIL 1 in accordance with IEC 61508 and PL c in accordance with ISO 13849-1. The “standard” MPC4 card is the original version and supports all features and processing modes.


The “standard” MPC4 is intended for safety systems using a VM600 rack with a limited range of cards, that is, “standard” MPC4/IOC4T card pairs and RLC16 relay cards. It has a VMEcompatible slave interface so it is software configurable via VME when there is a CPUx card acting as a rack controller in the VM600 rack. It is also software configurable via RS-232 (on the front panel of the card).


The “safety” (SIL) MPC4 card, known as the MPC4SIL, was developed to permit a wider range of installation options. Specifically, VM600 racks that also contain condition monitoring cards such as the XMx16 and relay cards such as the IRC4. To safety certify these configurations, it was necessary to ensure that the MPC4SIL is isolated from the other cards in a VM600 rack, so that there is no possibility of its configuration being inadvertently modified.


Therefore, the MPC4SIL card does not include a VME-compatible slave interface, does not support the tachometer (speed) channels and does not provide all of the signal processing capabilities of the “standard” MPC4 card


The VM600 rack, machinery protection cards, condition monitoring cards and associated software are designed for compliance with the machinery protection system (MPS) and condition monitoring system (CMS) segregation requirements of the API 670 standard, which ensures that the functionality of the MPS does not depend on and is not compromised in any way by the operation of the CMS.


So although machinery protection cards and condition monitoring cards can easily share sensor signals from measurement chains, MPC4/ IOC4T card pairs do not share any communication buses with XMx16/XIO16T condition monitoring card pairs in a VM600 rack, and MPC4/IOC4T card pairs are configured and operated using the VM600 MPSx software (while XMx16/XIO16T card pairs are configured and operated using the VibroSight software).


When used as a card pair with an IOC4T input/output card, the MPC4 is highly suitable for machinery monitoring and protection in a wide range of industrial applications.
