Description
Product Introduction
The VIBRO-METER VM600 XMV16 is an extended vibration monitoring module for the VM600 Mk2/VM600 condition monitoring system, delivering 16 dynamic channels and 4 tachometer channels for high-fidelity vibration analysis. In turbine, compressor, and pump monitoring skids, this card pair performs 24‑bit acquisition, high‑SNR processing, and high-resolution FFT for diagnostic and protection workflows.
In field deployments, the XMV16 typically runs at up to 98 kHz sampling with 0.10 Hz–38 kHz bandwidth and 6400-line FFT every 500 ms, paired with the XIO16T I/O card and communicating over Gigabit Ethernet to VibroSight software. For exact part number mapping (620‑003‑001‑116 vs 620‑001‑001‑116) and firmware options, confirm against the VM600 hardware manual and the module nameplate before installation.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Proven VM600 fit: 16 dynamic + 4 tach channels in a single card pair, designed for ABE04x backplanes and VibroSight integration.
- High-fidelity acquisition: 24-bit ADC at 98 kHz, 115 dB SNR, and 6400-line FFT resolution for detailed spectral analysis.
- Communications flexibility: 1000BASE‑T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ‑45) supporting up to 1 Gbps and 100 m cable runs.
- Test evidence available: we can share power‑on LED behavior, comms handshake logs, and a basic functional test report (photos/video on request).
- Versus legacy MPC4/AMC8 protection cards: the XMV16 focuses on high-density condition monitoring with advanced FFT; do not substitute across protection/CMS roles without engineering approval.
- Not recommended for: systems requiring hardware trip relay outputs as the primary function—use MPC4/AMC8 for protection and XMV16 for CMS analytics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I drop this XMV16 straight into my existing VM600 rack?
A: Usually yes—if the rack is a VM600 Mk2/VM600 CMS (ABE04x) and the slot is configured for an XMV16 + XIO16T pair. Action: photograph the nameplate, note the existing module’s part number (e.g., 620‑003‑001‑116 vs 620‑001‑001‑116), and match before hot‑swap.
Q2: What’s the difference between 620‑003‑001‑116 and 620‑001‑001‑116?
A: Both are XMV16 variants; differences include firmware/features and I/O mapping options. Action: confirm the exact part number and firmware baseline in the project BOM and verify compatibility with your VibroSight setup.
Q3: How do you verify firmware and configuration before shipping?
A: We read and record visible identifiers (part number, revision), capture LED status and comms response (Gigabit Ethernet), and log them in the test report. If your project requires a specific firmware/protocol set, tell us up front—we’ll verify or advise on loading.
Q4: What’s included in your QC process for stock spares?
A: Incoming traceability check, visual/label inspection, power‑on self‑test in a compatible test environment, comms handshake (1000BASE‑T), spot checks of I/O behavior, and a 24‑hour run where applicable. Final packing: ESD bag, bubble wrap, carton, and “QC Passed” label with date.
