Vibro-Meter VM600 RLC16 200-570-000-111 Relay Card | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The Vibro-Meter VM600 RLC16 (Part No. 200-570-000-111) is a 16-channel relay output card designed for use within the VM600 modular vibration monitoring rack system. It provides critical alarm and trip relay outputs for machinery protection applications in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy industry. Selecting the correct relay card is essential to maintaining system integrity — an incompatible or substandard replacement can result in missed trip signals, false alarms, or complete protection system failure.
Within the VM600 platform, the RLC16 occupies a dedicated relay card slot and interfaces directly with measurement cards such as the MPC4, AMC8, and IOC4T. Its 16 independent relay channels make it one of the highest-density relay output solutions in the VM600 ecosystem, widely deployed in turbine protection panels and compressor monitoring systems worldwide.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When sourcing a replacement for the VM600 RLC16 200-570-000-111, the following considerations apply:
- Direct OEM Replacement: Vibro-Meter VM600 RLC16 (same part number 200-570-000-111) — the only guaranteed drop-in replacement with full firmware and rack compatibility.
- Revised Part Numbers: Meggitt/Vibro-Meter may issue revised part numbers for the same functional card. Always cross-reference with the VM600 system documentation or contact Konmask for verification.
- Functional Equivalents: No third-party relay card is officially certified as a direct equivalent for the VM600 RLC16 slot. Substituting non-OEM cards in a certified machinery protection system may void SIL ratings and safety certifications.
- Legacy Compatibility: Earlier VM600 relay card variants may be physically compatible but differ in channel count or relay type — confirm firmware version compatibility before installation.
Recommendation: For safety-critical applications, always use the original OEM part. Konmask supplies genuine and refurbished OEM units with full traceability.
Why Choose the Original Model
- SIL Compliance: The VM600 system is designed and certified as a safety instrumented system. Using non-OEM relay cards may invalidate SIL 1/2 certification.
- Rack Bus Compatibility: The RLC16 communicates over the VM600 internal rack bus — only OEM cards are guaranteed to be fully protocol-compatible.
- Firmware Integration: Relay logic, masking, and latching behaviors are configured via VM600 rack software; OEM cards ensure full software feature support.
- Long Service Life: Vibro-Meter cards are designed for 24/7 continuous operation in harsh industrial environments.
- Meggitt Support: OEM parts are eligible for Meggitt factory repair, calibration, and warranty services.
Typical Applications
- Gas and steam turbine overspeed and vibration trip systems
- Centrifugal and reciprocating compressor protection panels
- Pump and motor vibration monitoring in petrochemical plants
- Power generation machinery protection (nuclear, thermal, hydro)
- Offshore platform rotating equipment monitoring
- Steel mill and heavy industrial drive protection systems
System Compatibility
The VM600 RLC16 is designed exclusively for the Vibro-Meter VM600 rack platform. Compatible system components include:
- Measurement Cards: MPC4, AMC8, IOC4T, RPS6U
- Rack: VM600 19″ rack chassis (various slot configurations)
- Power Supply: VM600-compatible PSU modules
- Configuration Software: Vibro-Meter VM600 Rack Configuration Software
- Communication: Compatible with Modbus, Profibus, and VM600 proprietary bus depending on rack configuration
Always verify slot assignment and rack firmware version before installing a replacement RLC16 card.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the VM600 RLC16 200-570-000-111 is the correct card for your application:
- Step 1 — Verify Part Number: Confirm the label on the existing card reads RLC16 and part number 200-570-000-111.
- Step 2 — Check Rack Slot: Identify the relay card slot position in your VM600 rack; RLC16 occupies dedicated relay output slots.
- Step 3 — Confirm Channel Count: If your application requires fewer than 16 relay channels, verify whether a lower-density card (e.g., RLC4) is already in use and whether an upgrade is appropriate.
- Step 4 — Firmware Version: Check the rack firmware version to ensure compatibility with the RLC16 revision you are sourcing.
- Step 5 — Contact Konmask: If uncertain, send us your rack configuration file or existing card photo — our engineers will confirm compatibility before shipment.
