Description
VIBRO-METER VM600 CMC16 200-530-025-014 is a high-performance 16-channel condition monitoring card designed for advanced machinery protection and state monitoring systems. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with VIBRO-METER’s VM600 series racks, this module serves as the central data acquisition and analysis hub for real-time vibration, temperature, and process parameter monitoring in industrial environments. With support for industry-standard protocols like Modbus RTU/TCP and PROFINET, the VM600 CMC16 ensures reliable communication between field devices, host software (e.g., VibroSight®), and third-party systems.
1. Product Description
The VM600 CMC16 acts as the core component of VIBRO-METER’s VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) and state monitoring system (CMS). It interfaces with input/output modules (e.g., IOC16T, IOC4T) and protection cards (e.g., MPC4, AMC8) to process raw sensor data, execute advanced signal conditioning, and transmit critical insights to operators. Key features include:
- 16 individually configurable dynamic channels for vibration, temperature, and process parameter monitoring.
- 24-bit ADC resolution with 0.005% linearity accuracy, ensuring precise measurement of 微小振动 (e.g., 0.1 µm displacement) and process parameters.
- Real-time FFT analysis (up to 3200 lines) for early detection of machinery defects like misalignment or bearing wear.
- Programmable anti-aliasing filters and galvanic isolation to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in harsh industrial environments.
- Dual communication paths (Ethernet and RS-485) for flexible integration with DCS, PLC, or SCADA systems.
The module’s VMEbus interface enables high-speed data transfer to the VM600 CPU module, while its hot-swappable design allows seamless component replacement without system downtime.

- Built-in anti-aliasing filters and amplifiers reduce signal distortion.
-
Robust Environmental Performance:
- EMI/RFI protection and galvanic isolation shield against electrical noise in industrial settings.
- Operates in extreme temperatures (-10°C to 60°C) and withstands vibrations up to 5 g.
-
Efficient System Integration:
- Plug-and-play compatibility with VM600 racks and MPC4 modules reduces setup time.
- Dual communication paths: VMEbus for real-time data transfer and Ethernet for remote configuration via VibroSight® software.
4. Application Areas and Use Cases
Industry Applications:
- Energy: Condition monitoring of turbines, generators, and compressors in power plants.
- Oil & Gas: Real-time vibration analysis of offshore drilling equipment and pumps.
- Manufacturing: Predictive maintenance of motors, conveyor systems, and CNC machines.
- Aerospace: Structural health monitoring of aircraft engines and landing gear.
Case Study:
A power plant integrated the VM600 CMC16 into its turbine monitoring system. By analyzing vibration data from 16 accelerometers and 4 temperature sensors, the module detected early signs of misalignment in a critical turbine shaft. Real-time alerts triggered maintenance actions, preventing a potential failure that could have caused $1.5 million in downtime costs.

6. Selection Recommendations
-
System Compatibility:
- Ensure your VM600 rack supports VMEbus and the MPC4/AMC8 protection cards.
- Verify sensor types (e.g., accelerometers, thermocouples) match the module’s input specifications.
-
Performance Requirements:
- Choose the VM600 CMC16 for high-resolution vibration analysis in large-scale systems.
- Opt for lower-channel modules (e.g., IOC4T) if budget or space is constrained.
-
Environmental Fit:
