APPLICATIONS
• VM600Mk2/VM600 machinery protection and/
or condition monitoring systems
DESCRIPTION
The VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE040 and ABE042 system
racks are used to house hardware for the
VM600Mk2/VM600 series of machinery protection
and/or condition monitoring systems, from
Meggitt’s vibro-meter® product line.
Two types of VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE04x system
rack are available: the ABE040 and the ABE042.
These are very similar, differing only in the position
of the mounting brackets. Both racks have a
standard height of 6U and provide mounting
space (rack slots) for up to 12 single-width
VM600Mk2/VM600 modules (card pairs), or a
combination of single-width and multiple-width
modules (cards). These racks are particularly
suitable for industrial environments, where
equipment must be permanently installed in 19″
cabinets or panels

DESCRIPTION (continued)
The different versions of ABE04x system rack
enable different mounting options to support
various markets and applications.
The VM600 system rack has an integrated VME
backplane which provides the electrical
interconnections between the installed
VM600Mk2/VM600 modules (cards): power supply,
signal processing, input /output, relay and
CPUx “rack controller”. It also includes a power
supply check relay, available at the rear of the
rack, which is used to indicate that the installed
RPS6U rack power supplies are operating
normally.
Either one or two RPS6U rack power supplies can
be installed in a VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE04x system
rack. A rack with one RPS6U power supply (330 W
version) supports the power requirements for a full
rack of modules (cards) in applications with
operating temperatures up to 50°C (122°F).
Alternatively, a rack can have two RPS6U power
supplies installed in order to either support rack
power supply redundancy or in order to supply
power to the modules (cards) non-redundantly
over a wider range of environmental conditions
(see Power supply on page 4).
VM600Mk2/VM600 processing modules (cards) are
installed in the front of the rack and the
associated input/output modules (cards) are
installed in the rear. The input/output modules
(cards) provide connectors for the connection of
sensors/measurement chains and for the sharing
of various signals with external systems such as a
DCS or PLC.
In general, VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE04x system racks
are configured in the factory before delivery so
they are supplied ready-to-use. Optionally, each
module (card) can be reconfigured to meet the
needs of a particular machinery monitoring
application using the appropriate software
package from Meggitt vibro-meter®:
VM600 MPSx or VibroSight®.
