Description

DESCRIPTION (continued)
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
(see Additional specifications – for “standard”
and “separate circuits” MPC4 cards only on
page 9).

Segregation of MPS and CMS
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).
Applications information
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.
For further information on the use of MPC4/IOC4T
card pairs in general, refer to the
VM600 machinery protection system (MPS)
hardware manual and the VM600 MPSx software
manuals. For information on the use of MPC4/
IOC4T card pairs in functional safety contexts,
refer to the refer to the VM600 functional safety
manual.
