Description

Vibro-meter 204-042-100-012
These racks are used to house hardware from VibroMeter’s VM 600 series of machinery protection
systems and condition monitoring systems. Two rack
types are presently available : the ABE 040 and the
ABE 042. These are very similar, differing only in the
position of the mounting brackets.
Both racks are particularly suitable for industrial
environments, where equipment must be
permanently installed in 19″ cubicles or panels. Each
rack has a standard height of 6U.
Each rack provides mounting space for up to 15
single-width VM 600 series cards, or a combination of
single and multiple-width units.
The rack has a built-in VME backplane which assures
the electrical interconnection between power supply
units, signal processing cards, acquisition cards, CPU
cards, input/output cards and relay cards.
The rack may be powered by a single RPS 6U power
supply unit. Optionally, a second power supply may
be installed to provide redundancy. Various versions
of the RPS 6U exist, enabling the rack to be powered
from an AC or DC supply and allowing various supply
voltages to be used.
The rear of the rack gives access to the IOC input/
output cards. These contain screw terminal strips or
connectors for the connection of transducers /
conditioners and for the input and output of various
signals to an external control system.
Racks are generally already configured in the factory
before delivery. The user therefore receives a readyto-use system. Optionally, each card can be
programmed at the site using the MPS1 or MPS2
software package (running on Windows).
Any rack position not used by a plug-in card can be
covered by a blank panel.

Extruded aluminium frame and solid aluminium structural parts. Top and bottom plastic
guide strips for the plug-in cards.
Rack weight : 6.5 kg (without power supply units and cards).
Mains input : Racks are shipped with an RPS 6U power supply unit (2 units for systems with a
redundant power supply). This unit has an AC or DC mains socket, mains cable of
length 3 m and an RFI filter, if applicable.
Power supply : RPS 6U series (+5 V / ±12 V DC) to supply electronic processing cards, input/output
cards and relay cards.
Backplane : Uses VME bus and dedicated bus for communication between cards. Unused slot
positions must be covered with blank panels.
Galvanic separation : Galvanic separation units (GSI types), if required for accelerometer and proximity
systems mounted in explosive atmospheres. These units cannot be supplied by the
rack and require an external power supply. They must be mounted outside the rack in a
remote housing or in a cubicle.
