Machinery Protection Solution — VIBRO METER VM600 MPC4 | VM600 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The VIBRO METER VM600 MPC4 (P/N: 200-510-070-113) is a machinery protection card deployed in mission-critical rotating equipment monitoring systems across heavy industry. Typical installation environments include:
- Power Generation: Steam and gas turbine protection panels in utility-scale power plants, where continuous shaft vibration and position monitoring is mandatory per API 670.
- Oil & Gas: Compressor trains, centrifugal pumps, and expanders on upstream and midstream facilities requiring SIL-rated protection loops.
- Petrochemical & Refining: Reactor feed compressors and critical agitators where unplanned downtime carries six-figure-per-hour cost exposure.
- Marine & Offshore: Propulsion and auxiliary machinery protection on FPSOs and offshore platforms subject to DNV/ABS class requirements.
- Pulp, Paper & Steel: High-speed rolls, fans, and ID/FD fans where bearing failure prediction is integrated into DCS/SCADA architectures.
The MPC4 card slots into the VM600 rack chassis and interfaces directly with eddy-current proximity probes, velocity transducers, and accelerometers to deliver real-time protection trip outputs and 4–20 mA monitoring signals.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- API 670 Compliance by Design: The VM600 platform is engineered to meet the machinery protection standard most widely enforced by EPC contractors and end-user machinery specifications globally.
- 4-Channel Density: The MPC4 provides four independently configurable protection channels per card slot, maximising rack utilisation and reducing panel footprint versus single-channel alternatives.
- Flexible Transducer Compatibility: Accepts eddy-current probes (Bently Nevada-compatible), velocity sensors, and IEPE accelerometers without external signal conditioning, simplifying BOM and wiring.
- Deterministic Trip Response: Hardware-based trip logic ensures sub-millisecond relay response independent of software scan cycles — a critical requirement for high-speed machinery protection.
- Proven Field Reliability: The VM600 series has accumulated decades of installed-base hours in tier-1 power and O&G facilities, with documented MTBF exceeding 100,000 hours.
- Seamless System Expansion: Cards are hot-swappable within a powered VM600 rack (with appropriate rack configuration), supporting maintenance without process shutdown.
Complete System Bill of Materials
The MPC4 card operates as part of a complete VM600 machinery protection system. A typical BOM for a 4-channel protection loop includes:
- VM600 Rack Chassis (e.g., RPS6U or equivalent) — power supply and backplane
- VM600 MPC4 Card (200-510-070-113) — this item
- VM600 IOC4T or IOC4 I/O Card — terminal block interface for field wiring
- Eddy-current proximity probe system (probe + extension cable + driver, e.g., VM600-compatible or Bently 3300 series)
- Keyphasor® probe (1× per shaft, for speed and phase reference)
- VM600 RMC (Rack Monitoring Card) — optional, for Modbus/Ethernet gateway
- DIN rail terminal blocks and shielded instrumentation cable (per site specification)

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the VM600 MPC4 (200-510-070-113) compatible with Bently Nevada 3500 series probes?
A: The MPC4 accepts eddy-current probe drivers with standard output characteristics (−24 VDC bias, −200 mV/mil or −7.87 V/mm scale factor). Many Bently Nevada 3300/3500-compatible probes are electrically compatible, but always verify the driver output specification against the VM600 input range before installation.
Q: Can this card be used as a drop-in replacement for an older VM600 MPC4 revision?
A: The VM600 platform maintains backward hardware compatibility across most card revisions within the same rack generation. Confirm the firmware revision and rack backplane version with your system documentation or contact us for a compatibility assessment.
Q: Do you supply the matching IOC4T I/O card?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com with your full BOM and we will quote companion cards, cables, and rack accessories as a package.
Q: Is this product available for export to the EU, Middle East, or Southeast Asia?
A: Yes. We ship internationally with full export documentation. Duties and import taxes are the buyer’s responsibility unless a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) arrangement is agreed in writing.
Q: What is the return policy if the card does not match our system?
