Description
Product Introduction
The VIBRO-METER VM600 RPS6U is the dedicated rack power supply for VM600 Mk2 machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. In turbine, compressor, and pump protection cabinets, this unit converts site power (AC or DC) into regulated +5 Vdc and ±12 Vdc rails distributed via the ABE04x backplane to CPU, I/O, relay, and protection cards.
In field deployments, the RPS6U typically supports 300–330 W total output, with +5 Vdc up to 50 A and ±12 Vdc rails sized for full racks. For exact input type (AC vs 24/110 Vdc), part number mapping (200‑582‑500‑013/600‑013/200‑013), and revision limits, confirm against the VM600 hardware manual and the module nameplate before installation.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Proven VM600 fit: single-slot 6U Eurocard PSU for ABE04x backplanes, hot‑swappable with front status LEDs.
- Clear power profile: 300–330 W class with +5 Vdc up to 50 A and +12/−12 Vdc up to 8/4 A, supporting full VM600 racks.
- Redundancy ready: two RPS6U units enable N+1 parallel redundancy with load sharing and failover.
- Test evidence available: we can share power‑on LED behavior, output voltage checks under load, and a basic functional test report (photos/video on request).
- Versus third‑party rack PSUs: the RPS6U is engineered for VM600 backplane pinout and sequencing; do not substitute generic supplies without engineering approval.
- Not recommended for: non‑VM600 racks or systems requiring 24 Vdc-only distribution—verify backplane voltages and connector keying in the hardware manual.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I drop this RPS6U straight into my existing VM600 rack?
A: Usually yes—if the rack is a VM600 Mk2 (ABE04x) and the slot is a power supply position. Action: photograph the nameplate, note the existing module’s part number (e.g., 200‑582‑500‑013 vs 200‑582‑200‑013) and input type, and match before hot‑swap.
Q2: What’s the difference between 200‑582‑500‑013, 200‑582‑600‑013, and 200‑582‑200‑013?
A: All are RPS6U variants; differences include input type (AC vs 24/110 Vdc) and revision class (300 W vs 330 W). Action: confirm the exact part number, input type, and revision in the project BOM and verify compatibility with your rack.
Q3: How do you verify output and configuration before shipping?
A: We read and record visible identifiers (part number, revision), capture LED status, and measure output voltages (+5/±12 Vdc) under load, logging them in the test report. If your project requires a specific input type or revision, tell us up front—we’ll verify or advise on loading.
