The VIBRO-METER MPC4 (200-510-078-115) is a highly specialized Machinery Protection Card within the Meggitt Vibro-Meter VM600 Series Machinery Protection System (MPS). It's designed for continuous, online monitoring of critical rotating machinery, providing both protection and real-time condition monitoring data.

Product Description

The MPC4 (200-510-078-115) is a sophisticated card that utilizes Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques for real-time measurement and monitoring. It's capable of simultaneously receiving and processing:

• Up to four dynamic signal inputs: These can be configured for various transducer types, including accelerometers (measuring acceleration), velocity transducers (measuring velocity), and proximity probes (measuring displacement or gap). This allows it to monitor parameters like relative and absolute vibration, Smax (maximum peak-to-peak vibration in an orbit), eccentricity, thrust position, and dynamic pressure.
• Up to two speed/tachometer inputs: These are crucial for measuring rotational speed and providing a phase reference signal, essential for advanced vibration analysis techniques like order tracking (analyzing vibration at specific multiples of rotational speed).

The card features programmable broad-band and narrow-band filters, enabling precise analysis of specific frequency ranges. It also offers simultaneous amplitude and phase monitoring in order-tracking mode. For protection, it has user-programmable Alert, Danger, and OK set points, with the capability for adaptive alarm levels. This model of the MPC4 is known for its high reliability and often comes with SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level 2) approval, making it suitable for safety-critical applications.

Like other MPC4 cards, this version requires an IOC4T (Input/Output Card) to form a complete card pair, as the IOC4T handles the physical sensor connections and provides buffered outputs of the raw signals.

Comparison with VIBRO-METER MPC4 200-510-064-019

The part number suffix typically indicates a specific version or variant of the MPC4 card. While both 200-510-064-019 and 200-510-078-115 are MPC4 cards within the VM600 series and share the core functionalities described above (4 dynamic inputs, 2 speed inputs, DSP processing, alarm capabilities), the numerical differences in the part number often denote:

• Minor Hardware Revisions: Incremental improvements in component selection, circuit board layout, or manufacturing processes.
• Firmware Versions: The embedded firmware might be updated to include minor feature enhancements, bug fixes, or performance optimizations.
• Specific Certifications/Compliance: One version might have specific certifications (e.g., for certain hazardous area classifications or industry standards) that the other doesn't, or a newer version might comply with updated standards.
• Software Compatibility: Newer versions might require a specific minimum version of the VM600 MPSx configuration software.

Without direct access to Meggitt's detailed product change notes for these specific part numbers, the exact differences are typically subtle and relate to internal revisions rather than fundamental changes in functionality. Both are robust MPC4 cards providing essential machinery protection.

Product Application Cases

The VIBRO-METER MPC4 (200-510-078-115) is crucial in industries where the continuous and reliable operation of large, critical rotating machinery is paramount.

• Power Generation: Used extensively for monitoring turbines (steam, gas, hydro), generators, and large pumps to detect issues like imbalance, misalignment, bearing degradation, and shaft cracks, preventing costly downtime and ensuring grid stability.
• Oil and Gas Industry: Applied on compressors, pumps, and large fans in refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms to safeguard operations in hazardous environments, enabling predictive maintenance and preventing catastrophic failures.
• Petrochemical and Chemical Processing: Protects vital rotating equipment such as reactors, mixers, and various pumps/compressors, contributing to process efficiency and safety in continuous chemical production.
• Pulp and Paper Industry: Monitors machinery like dryer sections, refiners, and large motors, ensuring continuous operation and product quality in paper mills.
• Heavy Manufacturing: Utilized in sectors like mining, metals, and cement on large motors, gearboxes, and conveyor systems to enhance reliability and reduce maintenance costs.

This MPC4 card, like its counterparts, forms the intelligent core of a machinery protection system, providing the necessary data acquisition and alarm logic to protect valuable assets and optimize industrial operations.
