Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the MPC4 200-510-078-115. Always verify electrical and firmware compatibility before substitution:
- VIBRO-METER MPC4 200-510-078-114 — Earlier hardware revision; functionally equivalent in most VM600 configurations
- VIBRO-METER MPC4 200-510-078-116 — Later revision with enhanced diagnostics; drop-in replacement
- VIBRO-METER IOC4T 200-510-050-xxx — I/O card used alongside MPC4 for transducer interfacing; not a direct replacement but often ordered together
- Bently Nevada 3500/42M — Competitor equivalent for 4-channel proximity/velocity protection; requires different rack and wiring
- Emerson CSI 6500 ATG — Alternative platform for machinery protection; not pin-compatible
Note: Cross-brand replacements require full system re-engineering. Contact Konmask for a compatibility assessment.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use MPC4 200-510-078-114 instead of 200-510-078-115?
A: In most cases yes — the -114 and -115 are hardware revisions of the same card. However, confirm with your VM600 rack firmware version, as some later firmware releases require -115 or higher.
Q: Is the MPC4 compatible with third-party proximity probes?
A: Yes, provided the probe output meets VM600 input specifications (typically -24 V DC bias, standard Bently Nevada-compatible gap voltage range). Contact us for a compatibility check.
Q: Do you supply the VM600 RPS configuration software?
A: We can assist with software sourcing and provide configuration support. Contact our technical team for details.
Q: What is the lead time for a new MPC4 200-510-078-115?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. New factory orders typically require 2–4 weeks. Expedited options available — contact us.
Q: Can Konmask provide a Bently Nevada 3500/42M as an alternative?
A: Yes, we supply Bently Nevada 3500 series cards. Note that migrating from VM600 to 3500 requires rack, wiring, and software changes — we can provide a full migration assessment.
