Safety Instructions
on the vessel. By operating the system, the thrusts direction and pitch/speed performance can be controlled. The operator must at all times be aware of: • Consequences of operating the system to prevent injury to people, damage of equipment, damage to the vessel operated and damage to the surroundings.
Sa FThe output from the pitch controller is computed on the basis of the input signals from pitch lever and the actuator position feedback. Lever and feedback signals are scaled and checked against adjustable limits, with corresponding alarm for exceeding the normal range. The levers have one set of adjustments (minimum, zero and maximum) for each manoeuvre station. Multiple sets of feedback adjustments (minimum, zero and maximum) are available for various engine power take-outs. In combined mode the lever signal is modified in a Combinator program, see chapter Pitch and RPM Combinatory (combined Control).
unctions
A number of safety functions are included in the system. These functions will become operative if a failure should occur in the propeller control system itself, or in external systems connected to the propeller control system.
Note: The backup control system has only interface to the control levers. The backup control system does not have interface to external control systems like Dynpos, Joystick or Autopilot
Note: No azimuth restrictions or load control functions are included in the backup system. When operating using the backup system, the operator must be careful not to overload the engine or the propeller system. If a load control system is included in the Rpm Drive, this will still be in operation.
Note: The safety functions described underneath will only be available if the thruster(s)/gear(s) have got the described function in the first place.
Pitch Control
The pitch control is one of the redundant functions in the control system. The backup control system will automatically be engaged if a serious failure occurs in the normal control system. This includes loss of power supply to the normal control system, halt in the normal control cpu, failure on the normal control order potentiometer in the lever on the manoeuvre station currently in command, failure on the normal control field bus and failure on the normal control feedback potentiometer. Alarm will be given in the control system and in the ship’s alarm system.
RPM Control Electric Engine
The RPM control is a redundant function in the control system. The backup control system will automatically be engaged if a serious failure occurs in the normal control system. This includes loss of power supply to the normal control system, halt in the normal control cpu, failure on the normal control order potentiometer in the lever on the manoeuvre station currently in command and failure on the normal control field bus. Alarm will be given in the control system and in the ship’s alarm system.
Azimuth Control
The azimuth control is a redundant function in the control system. The backup control system will automatically be engaged if a serious failure occurs in the normal control system. This includes loss of power supply to the normal control system, halt in the normal control cpu, failure on the normal control order potentiometer in the lever on the manoeuvre station currently in command, failure on the normal control field bus and failure on the normal control feedback potentiometer. Alarm will be given in the control system and in the ship’s alarm system.
Dynpos and Joystick
If operating using an external Dynpos or Joystick system and a failure occurs either on the pitch order, the rpm order or the azimuth order signal from the external system, the external system is disengaged and the propeller responds to the control lever order on the manoeuvre station in command. Alarm will be given in the control system and in the ship’s alarm system.
Autopilot
If operating using an external autopilot system and the azimuth lever order on the manoeuvre station in command is changed more than the adjustable limit, normally 20 degrees, the autopilot is disengaged and the thruster will respond to the control lever. This is indicated by blinking the Autopilot button, and the buzzer will sound until the Autopilot button is pressed to acknowledge the mode change back to lever control.
Safety Messages
Safety messages in this manual are always accompanied by a safety alert symbol and a signal word. The safety alert symbol is used to alert the reader about a potential risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment. The following types of safety messages are used within this manual:
Caution: Indicates the presence of a hazard which could result in damage to equipment or property and seriously impact the function of the equipment.
Note: Alerts the reader to relevant factors and conditions which may impact the function of the equipment.
General
This chapter provides an overview of the Helicon X3 system and a technical description of the main components that give the required knowledge about the system.The figures, drawings and text in this chapter are general and may not comply to the actual installation on the vessel. For details on the delivered equipment, see chapter 4 Delivery Specification.
System Overview
The Helicon X3 remote control system is a micro-processor-based system, controlling the propulsion units on the vessel. The following main functions are included:
• Combinator control, allowing accurate and reliable control of the propeller pitch and motor speed (RPM). The combinator curve optimises the pitch/speed performance to give the best operational conditions and fuel economy.
• Pitch control, allowing accurate and reliable control of the thruster pitch.
• Speed control, allowing accurate and reliable control of the motor speed (RPM).
• Direction control, allowing accurate and reliable control of the thrust direction.
• Follow-up backup control from control levers. Helicon X3 consists of the following main components:
• Instruments, screens, levers and Viewcon on the bridge (1).
• Electrical cabinets in the instrument room (2) and thruster room (4).
• Instruments, screens and levers in the engine control room (3). Helicon X3 may interface several external systems (5), like Dynamic positioning systems and Autopilots.
Design
Lever
Each thruster has its own lever. Their main functions are:
• Control of pitch, RPM and azimuth direction (dependant of application)
• In operation
• Command transfer
• Lever in command
• Back-up control
• Alarm The control lever has integrated buttons and indication lamps for command transfer, backup system on/off, alarm indication/buzzer and push button for reset of buzzer. The display in the base shows set command (pitch and direction) from the lever. The lever contains two redundant electronic circuits, one for the normal control system and one for the backup system.
Control Panel
The control panel (touch screen) is the main user interface for the operator and gives an overview of all the thrusters on the vessel. It shows the status of the system, indicates thruster forces, displays alarms, and shows selected modes. The flat button on the top of the screen is for dimming the illumination of the LCD display. The screen is divided in two areas: a menu area in the left part of the screen, and a bigger command area to the right. The menu buttons to the left selects the content of the command area.
There is one command page for each thruster, in addition to one system overview page and one alarm page. The overview page shows the most essential information for all thrusters, but to activate functions or to view all available information for a thruster, the particular thrusters’ page must be selected. The graphical design is based on the following principles:
• All functions pages are only one click away
• Large and simple buttons which are easy to read.
• Same design theme for all clickable objects.
• To avoid unintentional activation of functions, all function activation buttons require press on the accept button to proceed
Emergency stop and dimmer panel (optional)
The emergency stop is used to shut down the thrusters immediately. There is one button per thruster unit. The wheel (1) is used for dimming the background light on the indicators situated on the same control station. The dimmer may be delivered in a separate panel, if the emergency stop buttons are not part of the delivery scope.
Indicators
The indicators give feedback on various data and can be found on the bridge and in the engine control room. There are three main types of indicators:
• Azimuth indicator • RPM indicator
• Pitch indicator In addition a bridge order indicator may be delivered on some vessels.
Viewcon
Network cabinet MAX PITCH ASTERN AHEAD BOW AZIMUTH THRUSTER 1 RPM MIN MAX RPM MIN MAX STBD MAIN PROPULSION PITCH ASTERN AHEAD RPM MIN MAX The network cabinet(s) contains several switches. The network cabinet(s) connects the panel PCs and the controller cabinets. Network Operator stations and electronic units are linked together in an Ethernet network. The network is single and may contain several separate switches. (CAN bus is the internal communication between levers, I/O modules and Marine Controller.)
Controller cabinet
Usually located on bridge or in instrument room. This cabinet distributes signals to and from the bridge and ECR. It controls all the signals from the Helicon X3 and send them to the I/O cabinet. There is one controller cabinet per propeller/thruster. Communicates with the I/O cabinet located in the thruster room.

I/O Cabinet
The I/O cabinet is often located in the thruster room near sensors and actuators. This cabinet distributes signals to the different propulsion/thruster units. There is one I/O unit per propeller/thruster. The I/O cabinet sends signals to the actuators on the propellers/thrusters and receives signals from the sensors. There is CAN bus communication between each I/O and controller cabinet.
Functions
Tunnel Thruster Control Functions The control functions included in the Tunnel Thruster Control system: • Pitch control • Command transfer Main Propulsion Azimuth Control Functions The control functions included in the Main Propulsion Azimuth Control system:
• RPM control
• Azimuth control
• Command transfer
Pitch Control
The function of the pitch controller is to move the propeller blades in accordance to the control lever order. The actuator unit represents the interface between the remote control and the main servo system, which performs the actual positioning of the blades.
Normal Control
The output from the pitch controller is computed on the basis of the input signals from pitch lever and the actuator position feedback. Lever and feedback signals are scaled and checked against adjustable limits, with corresponding alarm for exceeding the normal range. The levers have one set of adjustments (minimum, zero and maximum) for each manoeuvre station. Multiple sets of feedback adjustments (minimum, zero and maximum) are available for various engine power take-outs. In combined mode the lever signal is modified in a Combinator program, see chapter Pitch and RPM Combinatory (combined Control).
Backup Control The Backup Control system consists of closed loop control identical to the Normal Control system. The Backup Control is a separate system, and is independent of the Normal Control system. A system failure in the Normal Control system will automatically switch to and engage the Backup Control. Lever order signals and feedback are monitored and verified against adjustable alarm limits. If the signals exceed the limits this will release an alarm to the alarm plant and both visual and audible system failure alarm will be actuated at the manoeuvre stations. Backup Control Operation If a failure occurs on important parts of the Normal Control for the Pitch, Azimuth or RPM Control function, the control will automatically be switched over to the Backup Control system. A system failure audible and visible alarm will be activated on each of the control panels. The thruster control will continue to follow the lever in command and transfer is done by using the common in command buttons. The command can be transferred between all bridge position and the bridge control levers will continue to work as in normal control. A failure that occurs on important parts of the Backup Control for the Pitch, Azimuth or RPM Control function will not affect the Normal Control system. If a system failure occurs on the Backup Control an audible and visible alarm will be activated on each of the control panels. Backup Control Limitations The Backup Control system has only interface to the control levers. The Backup Control system does not have interface to External Control systems like Dynamic positioning systems, Joysticks or Autopilots.
Pitch Indication The Pitch Indication system is independent of the Normal Pitch Control system by means of separate transmitters and electronic circuits. The pitch indicators are connected in series and are driven from the Backup Control system. Pitch Order Scaling The system may need to reduce the pitch order for different reasons. The pitch reduction can either be activated from a digital or anlogue input signal. To reserve engine power to heavy consumers as alternators, fire pumps, etc., it may be necessary to reduce the available propeller output power. This is normally done by means of a fixed propeller pitch reduction. If the drive motor is a diesel engine the system is prepared to handle a fuel limiter contact, from the RPM governor (i.e. high scavange air pressure). If the contact is closed the pitch order will stop increasing to a higher value, only decrease of pitch order against zero is possible. For azimuth thrusters, a pitch reduction will be activated if the azimuth order is changed faster then the thruster azimuth servo can follow. Thruster Azimuth Control The azimuth control function is to obtain the correct thruster azimuth position in accordance to the control lever order. Valve controlled hydraulic motors or frequency controlled electro motors perform the positioning of the thruster azimuth. Detailed information regarding the hydraulic system or motor data is available in the Thruster Instruction manual.
Normal Control The azimuth controller computes the thruster position and order on the basis of signals from the thruster feedback and control levers. A two-wiper linear potentiometer provides two outputs with 90 degrees of phase shift named cosine and sine phase respectively. The lever order signals and feedback signals are monitored and verified against alarm limits. If the signals exceed the limits this will release an alarm to the alarm plant with a visual and audible system failure alarm on the manoeuvre stations. Backup Control The Backup Control system consists of closed loop control identical to the normal control system. The Backup Control is a separate system, and is independent of the Normal Control system. A system failure in the Normal Control system will
automatically switch to and engage the Backup Control. Lever order signals and feedback are monitored and verified against adjustable alarm limits. If the signals exceed the limits this will release an alarm to the alarm plant with a visual and audible system failure alarm on the manoeuvre stations.
Backup Control Operation If a failure occurs on important parts of the Normal control for the Pitch/Azimuth/RPM control function, the control will automatically be switched over to the backup control system. A system failure audible and visible alarm will be activated on each of the control panels. The thruster control will continue to follow the lever in command, and command transfer is done by using the common in command buttons. The command can be transferred between all bridge position and the bridge control levers will continue to work as in Normal Control. A failure that occurs on important parts of the Backup control for the Pitch/Azimuth/ RPM control function, will not affect the Normal control system. If a system failure occurs on the Backup Control an audible and visible alarm will be activated on each of the control panels
Backup Control Limitations The backup control system has only interface to the control levers. The backup control system does not have interface to external control systems like Dynpos, Joystick or Autopilot.
Local Control Local control is used if both the normal control and the backup control fail to operate the thruster azimuth. The thruster azimuth can be operated locally on the actuator unit. The Control System must first be disconnected from the actuator unit. This can be done by means of the Local Control switch mounted in front of the Actuator Interface Unit, or by disconnecting the plug from the actuator unit. If frequency converter used, operate service switch inside converter cabinet. The Thruster Instruction Manual will give more details for Local Control operation. Azimuth Indication The azimuth indication system independent of the normal control system by means of separate transmitters and electronic circuits. The Azimuth indicators are connected in series, and are driven from the Backup Control system.
RPM Control The RPM Control function system controls the speed signal to the frequency converter for electrical drives or the engine governor for diesel or gas engines. RPM Control Electric Drive Motor The RPM Control system includes selection of different operational modes:
• Separate Mode
• Combined Mode Selection between modes is possible by means of push buttons. RPM Control can be managed from engine control room only or from additional control panels. External RPM Control External RPM order signals from system as DP/Joystick/Auxiliary systems can be connected to the rpm controller. The external rpm signal are checked against adjustable preset limits. Any error conditions on the rpm input signal will initiate a warning to the alarm plant and an error message will be displayed on the control panel. RPM Order Output The output signal from the controller is scaled to meet the actuator signal range from idle to full rpm, and then fed to external governor, IP converter or frequency converter. The output will follow a linear curve between idle and full rpm order. The RPM output rate of change is adjustable and can be adapted to the engine/frequency converter reversing speed from idle to full rpm (increasing order) and vice versa (decreasing order). Propeller/Shaft RPM Indication The propeller/shaft RPM indicators are connected in series and are driven from the Backup Control system. Command Transfer The term Command transfer is used to describe the procedure performed when the control is transferred between manoeuvre stations without acceptance on either of the stations. This is normally the procedure between wheelhouse (bridge) stations.

AutoMax – A Powerful Combination of Controls Today’s challenge in industrial control is to simplify the task of designing, implementing, and maintaining complex automation and control systems. The natural solution is to divide the complexity into manageable segments, distribute the control function throughout the plant or process, and provide an exchange of information between these segments. The AutoMax Distributed Control System provides many of the same functions of expensive process controllers – at savings up to half the price. The AutoMax system’s “real-time” operating system also provides the user with advanced programming tools not available in typical programmable controllers. And, with its loadable run-base architecture, future product upgrades are easily installed. The AutoMax Distributed Control System is ideal for applications that require millisecond response times and that incorporate sequence control, process control, data collection, or complex math. Applications can range from stand-alone to multi-rack distributed control installations. AutoMax is fully compatible with Reliance’s DCS 5000 Industrial Controller and incorporates many of its field-proven features. AutoMax can be linked to the AutoMate programmable controllers, via R-Net and to Allen-Bradley controllers via standard networks using Data Highway Plus. Using the AutoMax, an industrial control system can be partitioned into subsystems which communicate with each other, yet operate as totally self-contained units. Each subsystem is further subdivided into modules that have distinct functions operating in a coordinated manner. Additionally, the AutoMax System Software separates the required functions of the system into distinct tasks that operate concurrently (multi-tasking) on a priority basis while sharing system data and control signals. The System Software further subdivides the tasks into high level, control, and sequential logic operations and contains three separate languages (BASIC, Control Block, Ladder Logic) to program them.
Hardware Configurations To Complement The System Requirements
The flexibility of AutoMax allows the control system designer to select the hardware configuration best suited to the application. A typical AutoMax System is made up of one or more units. Each unit can be Multibus rack based or PC- card based depending the system parameters. The rack based units consist of power supply and chassis with various types of processor, input/output and communications modules. The PC-Card based units are either installed in stand-alone packaged versions, which also provide the power supply necessary for the PC-Card module as well as a serial interface module or the module is installed in one of the customers PC computers. The PC-Card modules are complete with built-in DCS-Net and A-B Remote I/O ports. The units communicate with each other using the DCS-Net network. They also connect to I/O via remote I/O networks. The System provides sharing of data between units as well as between programs in the same unit. In addition, the Multibus based rack units provide for coordination between multiple processors in the same rack. This communications and data sharing allows the industrial control function to be distributed among multiple units.
• Loadable run base greatly simplifies the incorporation of future enhancements to the system. The operating system is loaded into the AutoMax from a cd.
• Multi-processing capability lets you add more processor power in the AutoMax rack when you need it. . .without rewriting your application software.
• Multi-tasking makes program development, checkout and support easier by allowing the software to be broken into logical parts or tasks. The AutoMax permits concurrent operation of multiple tasks within a processor according to the Programming Systemspriorities you assign.
• 3 programming languages are available to program AutoMax tasks: Ladder Logic, Control Block and Enhanced BASIC. The user chooses the most effective language for programming each task.
• High-speed network allows information to be shared easily between AutoMax racks, thus freeing the user to configure the hardware for the most cost effective installation.
• Remote I/O capability lets you place the I/O near the equipment to be controlled for reduced wiring costs.
• Built-in diagnostics, coupled with on-board status LEDs and digital displays, help to make for reliable operation and easy troubleshooting.
• Communications to non-AutoMax devices, such as CRTs and host computers, is simple through the use of available network interfaces and serial ports.
• IBM PC – compatible programming executive features full documentation, on-line process monitoring, ladder logic modifications, and program upload and download capability.
A Multi-Use Controller
The design of the AutoMax incorporates many features that allow the hardware and software to function effectively and efficiently in many types of stand-alone and multi-unit distributed industrial control installations
Multi-Tasking Operating System
The AutoMax Software Operating System provides the real-time concurrent operation of multiple programs or tasks on the same processor on a priority basis, while sharing system data and control signals. Though only one task runs at a time on the same processor, the execution of the tasks is scheduled so that each task shares the processor over a period of time. This multi-tasking permits the user’s overall control scheme to be separated into individual tasks which simplifies writing, checkout and maintenance of the application program. Multi-tasking in the AutoMax also reduces overall execution time and provides a faster response to critical tasks.
Multi-Processing Hardware
In the rack based units, internal communications of the AutoMax are based on the widely used and accepted bus structure, Multibus by Intel. Multibus, field proven by years of industrial use, provides a highly dependable base on which to build a very reliable product. By choosing Multibus, Reliance Electric has insured that the AutoMax will meet the demanding requirements of industrial control today and in the future. Utilizing the Multibus standard and the AutoMax operating system allows the implementation of a unique multi-processing architecture in the AutoMax. Multi-processing is a solution to requirements for additional I/O, speed, memory, and processing power in industrial control applications. The AutoMax will accommodate up to four Processor Modules in the Multibus rack along with a Common Memory Module. Other cards such as the Network and Remote I/O Communication Modules, Interface Modules and the general I/O Modules can be inserted in the rack as space permits. The unique feature of the AutoMax multi-processing system is that program tasks are transportable from processor to processor – expansion requires no reprogramming of existing tasks. Memory used to store process parameters and data in any of the Processor modules is accessible by other Processor Modules and this access is transparent to the user.
In conjunction with it’s Multi-tasking Operating System, theAutoMax also provides three separate languages forprogramming, each tailored to a specific need. The LADDER LOGIC language is used for sequencing operations and discrete input/output. It allows the user to program the I/O and internal contacts and coils with easily recognizable names. The CONTROL BLOCK language is used for analog regulation and process control. The blocks are preconfigured control statements that allow the user to easily specify control strategies. The ENHANCED BASIC is used for arithmetical operations, numeric and string handling, and host computer communications. The ENHANCED BASIC tasks link the AutoMax to keyboard and CRT-based operator interface devices. The CONFIGURATION task sets the priority and scheduling of all of the various Ladder Logic, Control Block, and BASIC tasks in the application program and defines al system I/O.

Deployment Checklist
Before you begin to configure the module, consumer the following questions. Your answers will help you determine the scope of your project, and the configuration requirements for a successful deployment.
Are you creating a new application or integrating the module into an existing application? Most applications can use the Sample Add-On Instruction or Sample Ladder Logic without any modification.
Which slot number in the chassis does the MVI69E-MBS module occupation? For communication to occur, you must enter the correct slot number in the sample program.
Are the Studio 5000 and RSLinx software installed? RSLogix and RSLinx are required to communicate to the CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP processor.
How many words of data do you need to transfer in your application (from CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP to Module/to CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500-LRP from Module)?
Is this module replacing an existing legacy MVI69-MCM module (refer to section) Legacy Mode on Page 76)?
Package Contents
The following components are included with your MVI69E-MBS module, and are all required for installation and configuration.
Setting Jumpers
When the module is manufactured, the port selection jumpers are set to RS-232. To use RS-422 or RS-485, you must set the jumpers to the correct position. The following diagram descriptions the jumper settings.
The setup jumper acts as “write protection” for the module’s firmware. In “write protected” mode, the setup pins are not connected, and the module’s firmware cannot be overwritten. The module is shipped with the setup jumper off. If an update of the firmware is needed, apply the setup jumper to both pins. The following illustration shows the MVI69E-MBS jumper configuration, with the Setup Jumper OFF.
Installing the Module in the Rack
1 Make sure the processor and power supply are installed and configured before installing the MVI69E-MBS module. Refer to the Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
2 Move the module back along the Tongue-and-groove slots until the bus connectors on the MVI69 module and the adjacent module line up with each other.
3 Push the module’s bus lever back slightly to clear the positioning tab and move it first to the left until it clicks. Ensure that it is locked first in place.
5 Press the DIN-rail mounting area of the controller against the DIN-rail. The latches momentarily open and lock into place.

The module uses a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to back up the real-time clock and CMOS settings. The battery itself should last for the life of the module. However, if left in an unpowered state for 14 to 21 days, the battery may become fully discharged and require recharging by being placed in a powered-up ControlLogix chassis. The time required to fully recharge the battery may be as long as 24 hours. Once it is fully charged, the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and the real-time clock for approximately 21 days. Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged (the BATT LED on the front of the module goes OFF when the battery is fully charged). If the battery is allowed to become fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS and clock settings.

• Outputs: +5 VDC and ±12 VDC • Output over-voltage, short-circuit and overload protection
• Status indicators
• High-power, high-performance, high efficiency
• Minimal derating within the operating temperature range
APPLICATIONS
• VM600Mk2/ VM600 machinery protection and/ or condition monitoring systems
• One RPS6U rack power supply powers a full rack of modules (cards)
• Two RPS6U rack power supplies enable rack power supply redundancy
DESCRIPTION
The VM600Mk2/ VM600 RPS6U rack power supplies are designed for use in the VM600Mk2/ VM600 series of machinery protection systems and condition and performance monitoring systems, from Meggitt’s vibro-meter ® product line. A VM600Mk2/ VM600 RPS6U rack power supply is installed in the front of a VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack (19 ″ system racks with a standard height of 6U) and connects via two high-current connectors to the VME bus of the rack’s backplane. The RPS6U power supply provides +5 VDC and ±12 VDC to the rack itself and all installed modules (cards) in the rack via the rack’s backplane.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
Either one or two VM600Mk2/ VM600 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. A VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack with two RPS6U power supplies installed can operate redundantly (that is, with rack power supply redundancy) for a full rack of modules (cards). This means that if one RPS6U fails, the other will provide 100 % of the rack’s power requirement so that the rack will continue to operate, thereby increasing the availability of the machinery monitoring system. Note: This is known as a redundant RPS6U rack power supply configuration. A VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack with two RPS6U power supplies installed can also operate non-redundantly (that is, without rack power supply redundancy). Typically, this is only necessary for a full rack of modules (cards) in applications with operating temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F), where RPS6U output power derating is required. Note: Even though two RPS6U rack power supplies are installed in the rack, this is not a redundant RPS6U rack power supply configuration. The number and type of RPS6U power supplies installed in a VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack, together with the number of modules (cards) installed and the environmental conditions, helps determine the mode of operation of the RPS6U power supplies as either redundant or non-redundant. See also Ordering information on page 16. Different versions of the RPS6U rack power supply enable a VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack to be powered using external AC and/or DC mains supplies. All RPS6U power supplies support a wide input voltage range. A power supply check relay, available on the associated rear panel at the rear of a VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack, is used to indicate that the RPS6U power supplies are operating normally. Refer to the VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack data sheet for further information. In applications where the VM600Mk2/ VM600 ABE04x system rack is powered by an AC mains supply, a VM600Mk2/ VM600 ASPS auxiliary sensor power supply can also be included in the rack. The ASPS provides +24 VDC outputs which can be used by external sensor/measurement chain hardware such as front-end sensors, signal conditioners and galvanic separation units. For further information, contact your local Meggitt representative.
Notes
1. In 2016, the RPS6U rack power supply was improved to provide a higher output power of 330 W with higher-performance and higher-efficiency, which required a redesign of the underlying power supply circuitry. Accordingly, the different versions of the RPS6U rack power supply in use are:
• Later versions of the RPS6U (PNR 200-582-x00-02h or later) that define the power as a total maximum output power of 330 W, with nominal output (supply) voltages of +5 VDC up to 50 A, +12 VDC up to 8 A and −12 VDC up to 4 A. Note: The total maximum output power of 330 W is a combination load for all outputs as the +5 VDC and ±12 VDC outputs are usually not simultaneously loaded to the maximum in practice. For example, if the +5 VDC output is at its maximum rated load (5.35 V × 50 A = 267.5 W), then the combined loads on the +12 VDC and −12 VDC outputs must not exceed 62.5 W.
• Earlier versions of the RPS6U (PNR 200-582-x00-01h or earlier) that define the power as a rated power of 300 W, with nominal output (supply) voltages of +5 VDC up to 35 A, +12 VDC up to 6 A and −12 VDC up to 2 A. 2. In 2021, VM600Mk2 (second-generation) machinery monitoring systems were launched with improved rack modules, notably the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2, RLC16Mk2 and CPUMMk2 + IOCNMk2. VM600Mk2 systems use the same system infrastructure as first-generation VM600 systems, that is, VM600Mk2 is backward compatible with existing VM600 (VM600Mk1) racks and power supplies. However, VM600Mk2 versions of the ABE040 system rack (PNR 200-040-100-016) and RPS6U rack power supplies (PNRs 200-582-200-12h, 200-582-500-12h and 200-582-600-12h) are also available. The VM600Mk2 versions are the same as the latest VM600 versions, except for the specific artwork/branding/finish. More specifically, the front panels of RPS6U rack power supplies are bare aluminium for the VM600Mk2 versions (PNRs 200-582-200-12h, 200-582-500-12h and 200-582-600-12h) and painted for the VM600 versions (PNRs 200-582-200-02h, 200-582-500-02h and 200-582-600-02h).

The VM600Mk2 MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery protection modules are designed for operation with the second generation of VM600Mk2 rack based machinery protection system (MPS), from Meggitt’s vibro-meter ® product line. The MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 are second generation modules (cards) that provide 4 dynamic and 2 auxiliary channels of machinery protection and basic condition monitoring in VM600Mk2 systems.
VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring systems
The vibro-meter ® VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring system is the evolution of Meggitt’s solution for the protection and monitoring of rotating machinery used in the power generation and oil & gas industries. VM600Mk2 solutions are recommended when a centralised monitoring system with a medium to large number of measurement points (channels) is required. It is typically used for the monitoring and/or protection of larger machinery such as gas, steam and hydro turbines, and generators, smaller machines such as compressors, fans, motors, pumps and propellers, as well as balance of-plant (BOP) equipment. A VM600Mk2 system consists of a 19″ rack, a rack power supply and one or more monitoring modules. Optionally, relay modules and rack controller and communications interface modules can also be included. Two types of rack are available: a VM600Mk2 system rack (ABE04x, 6U) that can house up to twelve monitoring modules, and a VM600Mk2 slimline rack (ABE056, 1U) that can house one monitoring module. The racks are typically mounted in standard 19″ rack cabinets or enclosures installed in an equipment room. Different VM600Mk2 monitoring modules are available for machinery protection, condition monitoring and/or combustion monitoring applications. For example, machinery protection modules such as the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules, and condition monitoring modules such as the XMV16 + XIO16T monitoring modules for vibration and XMC16 + XIO16T monitoring modules for combustion. The RLC16Mk2 relay module is an optional module used to provide additional relays when the four user-configurable relays per set of MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules is not sufficient for an application. The CPUx + IOCx rack controller and communications interface modules (CPUM / IOCN and CPUMk2 + IOCMk2) are optional modules used to provide additional VM600Mk2 system functionality such as configuration management, “hot-swapping” with automatic reconfiguration (to be implemented for VM600Mk2), front-panel display, CPUx + IOCx modules redundancy, fieldbus data processing, front-panel alarm reset (AR) button, MPS rack (CPUx) security, system event and measurement event logging, fieldbus communications (Modbus, PROFIBUS and/or PROFINET) and/or communications redundancy. Note: Different versions of CPUx + IOCx rack controller and communications interface modules support different combinations of VM600Mk2 system functionality. VM600Mk2 systems are compatible with CPUMk2 + IOC Mk2 modules. VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring systems complement the VibroSmart ® distributed monitoring systems that are also available from Meggitt’s vibro-meter ® product line, and are compatible with the same VibroSight ® machinery monitoring software suite.
MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery protection modules and VM600 racks
The MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery protection modules monitor and protect rotating machinery as part of a VM600Mk2 rack-based monitoring system. The MPC4Mk2 module is always used with an associated IOC4Mk2 module as a set of modules. Both the MPC4Mk2 and the IOC4Mk2 are single width module that occupy a single VM600Mk2 rack slot (module position). The MPC4Mk2 is installed in the front of a VM600Mk2 rack and the associated IOC4Mk2 is installed in the rear of the rack, in the slot directly behind the MPC4Mk2. Each module connects directly to the rack’s backplane using two connectors. Note: The MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules are compatible with all VM600Mk2 racks (ABE04x system racks and ABE056 slimline racks) and later VM600 racks.
System communications
In a VM600Mk2 system (one or more MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules and any associated RLC16Mk2 modules), the main communications interface is the LAN (Ethernet) connector on the front panel of each MPC4Mk2 module, which is used for used for communication with the VibroSight ® software running on an external computer. In a VM600Mk2 rack (ABE4x), the VME bus can be used to share information between modules in the rack. For example, an MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 module can provide information such as measurement, alarm and/or status data to a set of CPUMk2 + IOC Mk2 modules which can then share the information via one of its industry standard fieldbuses. In a VM600Mk2 system (one or more MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules and any associated MPC4Mk2 modules), the RLC16Mk2 modules are controlled and operated by a MPC4Mk2 , as determined by the configuration. The VM600Mk2 rack’s Open collector (OC) bus and Raw bus are used to exchange control and status information between the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 and RLC16Mk2 modules.
Relays
The MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery protection modules include five relays. The four user configurable relays (RL1 to RL4) can be used by a VM600Mk2 system to remotely indicate system alarm and/or status information. While, a common circuit-fault relay (FAULT) is used to indicate a problem with the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules as detected by the internal diagnostics (BIST). The relays in a VM600Mk2 system (specifically one or more sets of MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules and any associated RLC16Mk2 modules), are driven by control circuitry that supports a VM600Mk2 system safety-line, that is, a system-wide control signal that automatically drives all system relays ( IOC4Mk2 and RLC16Mk2) and analog outputs ( IOC4Mk2) to a safe state should a problem be detected. In this way, IOC4Mk2 and RLC16Mk2 relays configured as normally energised (NE) can always be de-energised in the event of a problem with one of the components of the relay coil control signal. Note: This supports the “de-energise to trip principle” required in safety-related applications.
Software
MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules, as part of a VM600Mk2 system), are software configured using the VibroSight ® software. To meet stringent cybersecurity and API 670 requirements, MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 modules segregate machinery protection (MPS) and condition monitoring (CMS) by using separate configurations and different VibroSight configuration software:
• VibroSight Protect supports the configuration and operation of the machinery protection (MPS) functionality for a VM600Mk2 system.
• VibroSight Capture supports the configuration and operation of the condition monitoring (CMS) functionality for a VM600Mk2 system.
• Other VibroSight software modules support operations such as data display and analysis (VibroSight Vision), data logging and post processing (VibroSight Server) system maintenance (VibroSight System Manager), etc.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
More generally for extended condition monitoring system (CMS) applications, the VibroSight software supports the configuration and operation of XMx16 / XIO16T modules for condition monitoring and/or combustion monitoring, including the processing and presentation of measurement data for analysis. VibroSight is also used to configure and manage CPUMk2 + IOCMk2 modules. Note: The VibroSight ® software is also from the vibro-meter ® product line. Applications information As part of a VM600Mk2 system, MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 machinery protection modules are ideal for the monitoring and protection of critical assets such as gas, steam or hydro turbines and other high-value rotating machines in a wide range of industrial applications.
