Vibro-Meter VMF-IOC4T 200560-101-017 200-560-000-111 Condition Monitoring Cards: Overview and Technical Specifications
Brand and Model Identification
The VMF-IOC4T 200560-101-017 200-560-000-111 are advanced 16-channel Condition Monitoring Cards (CMC16) manufactured by Meggitt Vibro-Meter (now part of Meggitt Sensing Systems), designed specifically for integration with the VM600 series of machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. These intelligent front-end data acquisition units (DAUs) serve as critical components for real-time monitoring, analysis, and processing of machinery vibration, speed, and process data, enabling predictive maintenance strategies and ensuring equipment reliability across various industrial sectors. The two model numbers represent minor variations of the same VMF-IOC4T card, primarily differing in configuration options and compatibility with specific VM600 system versions.
General Specifications
Both VMF-IOC4T 200560-101-017 200-560-000-111 cards operate on a 24V DC power supply (standard for industrial automation systems) and feature a robust VME architecture construction suitable for harsh industrial environments. They support live insertion and removal within the VM600 rack, allowing for hot-swapping capabilities without system shutdown, minimizing operational downtime. The modules have a typical weight of 0.5 kg (500g) and compact dimensions of 100mm x 233mm x 35mm (WxHxD), making them space-efficient for installation in standard VM600 racks. They are designed to be compatible with VM600 VMF-IOC4T input/output interface cards, which provide signal conditioning, EMC protection, and terminal connections for field sensors.
Physical Dimensions and Weight
Dimensions: 100mm (width) × 233mm (height) × 35mm (depth) for the card itself; designed for standard VM600 rack mounting with appropriate VMF-IOC4T interface card
Weight: 0.5 kg (500 grams) for the CMC16 module alone
Form Factor: VM600 rack-mountable module, occupying 1 slot in the VM600 system rack
Mounting: Card-edge connector for secure integration with VM600 backplane bus and VMF-IOC4T interface cards
Front Panel: Features a 3-color LED status indicator per channel for visual monitoring of operational status, alarm conditions, and signal quality
Key Features
The VMF-IOC4T 200560-101-017 200-560-000-111 cards offer a comprehensive set of features for industrial machinery condition monitoring applications:
16 individually configurable dynamic channels with 16 parallel programmable anti-aliasing filters and high-resolution Analogue-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) for simultaneous data acquisition across all channels
First 4 channels configurable as tacho inputs for speed and phase reference measurements, while the last 12 channels can be configured as process value inputs (4-20mA signals from process transmitters)
24-bit data acquisition technology providing high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data processing and high-resolution FFT analysis capabilities of up to 6400 lines per 500 milliseconds for precise frequency domain analysis
Up to 20 processed outputs per dynamic channel and per dual-channel configuration (compared to 12 per XMC16 module), including overall vibration levels, peak values, RMS values, and FFT-derived frequency components
Configurable Synchronous and Asynchronous sampling modes: Synchronous (order tracking) sampling for speed-dependent analysis and Asynchronous (fixed frequency) sampling for general purpose monitoring
10 fully configurable frequency bands per channel with 6 configurable alarms per band, each featuring adjustable hysteresis deadbands to prevent false triggering
On-board buffer storage for data logging based on schedule, “on-alarm” events, or “on exception” conditions, ensuring critical data capture during abnormal machinery behavior
Ethernet and Serial RS-485 communication interfaces for seamless integration with VM600 CMS software (VibroSight®) and third-party systems including DCS, PLC, and SCADA systems
Front-panel 3-color LED indicators providing visual status updates for each channel, including normal operation (green), warning (yellow), and alarm (red) conditions
Advanced data processing capabilities including trend analysis, spectral analysis, cross-channel measurements, and machinery health diagnostics to identify potential faults before they lead to catastrophic failures
Physical Dimensions and Weight
