The rack has an integrated backplane that provides electrical interconnection between the integrated

power supply (RPS1U) and the installed VM600Mk2/VM600 modules (cards).

The rack also has a power check relay on the rear of the rack to indicate if the integrated power supply is functioning properly.

The VM600Mk2/VM600 Processing Module (Card) is mounted at the front of the rack and the

associated Input/Output Module (Card) is mounted at the rear of the rack.

The input/output modules (cards) provide connectors for connecting sensors/measurement

chains and for sharing various signals with external systems such as DCS or PLC.

In general, the VM600Mk2/VM600 ABE056 Ultra Slim Racks are factory-configured before shipment and are therefore ready for use.

Optionally, each module (card) can be reconfigured to meet the needs of a specific machinery monitoring application.

Each module (card) can be reconfigured to meet the needs of a specific machinery

monitoring application using the appropriate software package from Meggitt Vibro-Meter: VibroSight® or VM600 MPSx.
