Description
VIBRO-METER VM600 IOC16T is a high-performance 16-channel input/output interface card designed for advanced machinery condition monitoring and vibration analysis systems. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with VIBRO-METER’s VM600 series racks, this module provides robust signal conditioning, electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, and real-time data acquisition for industrial applications demanding precision and reliability.
The
VM600 IOC16T serves as a critical component in VIBRO-METER’s VM600 machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. It interfaces with sensors, transducers, and other field devices to convert raw analog signals into digital data for analysis by the VM600 CMC16 (Condition Monitoring Card) or host software like VibroSight®. With 16 dynamic input channels and 4 dedicated tachometer/speed reference channels, the module supports simultaneous monitoring of vibration, temperature, process parameters, and rotational speed.
Key features include 24-bit data acquisition with high signal-to-noise ratio (>70 dB up to 10 kHz) and programmable signal conditioning for accelerometers, velocity sensors, proximity probes, and thermocouples. The module’s EMI-protected inputs and galvanic isolation ensure stable performance in harsh industrial environments, while its VMEbus interface enables high-speed data transfer to the VM600 CPU module.

VM600 IOC16T
-
High-Precision Data Acquisition:
- 24-bit resolution ensures accurate measurement of 微小振动 (e.g., 0.1 µm displacement) and process parameters.
- Low noise floor (<0.1 mV RMS) enables detection of early machinery defects.
-
Versatile Signal Conditioning:
- Supports AC/DC voltage, current, thermocouples, and strain gauge inputs with selectable ranges (e.g., 0.1 V to 20 V FSD for AC measurements).
- 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 CMC16 modules reduces setup time.
- Dual communication paths: VMEbus for real-time data transfer and Ethernet for remote configuration via VibroSight® software.
Industry Applications:
- Manufacturing: Monitoring rotating machinery (e.g., motors, pumps) for predictive maintenance.
- Energy: Condition assessment of turbines, generators, and compressors in power plants.
- Aerospace: Vibration analysis of aircraft engines and structural health monitoring.
- Oil & Gas: Detecting bearing faults in offshore drilling equipment.
Case Study:
A petrochemical plant integrated the VM600 IOC16T into its compressor monitoring system. By analyzing vibration data from 12 accelerometers and 4 temperature sensors, the module detected early signs of misalignment in a critical compressor shaft. Real-time alerts triggered maintenance actions, preventing a potential failure that could have caused $2 million in downtime costs.

-
System Compatibility:
- Ensure your VM600 rack supports VMEbus and the CMC16 module.
- Verify sensor types (e.g., accelerometers, thermocouples) match the module’s input specifications.
-
Performance Requirements:
- Choose the VM600 IOC16T for high-resolution vibration analysis (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing).
- Opt for lower-channel modules (e.g., IOC4T) if budget or space is constrained.
-
Environmental Fit:
- Confirm operating temperature (-10°C to 60°C) aligns with your industrial environment.
- Use surge protectors in high-noise areas to enhance EMI resistance.
-
Installation:
- Use ESD-safe tools and grounding straps to prevent static damage.
- Secure the module in the VM600 rack with screws to avoid physical damage during operation.
-
Operation:
- Avoid exceeding input voltage/current limits to prevent hardware failure.
- Calibrate sensors and the module annually using VIBRO-METER’s recommended procedures.
-
