Vibro-meter CMC16 200-530-022-014 Machinery Protection Rack

The Vibro-meter CMC16 200-530-022-014 is a 16-slot rack chassis that serves as the foundation for the VM600 machinery protection and condition monitoring system. Designed for continuous operation in critical rotating machinery applications, this rack provides the structural and electrical infrastructure for monitoring vibration, displacement, speed, and temperature parameters on turbines, compressors, generators, and pumps.

Power Supply Configuration

The rack is designed to accept redundant power supply modules for continuous operation in mission-critical applications. Power supplies are installed in dedicated slots and operate in load-sharing configuration. If one power supply fails, the remaining unit sustains full system operation without interruption. Power supplies are hot-swappable, allowing replacement without system shutdown. Input voltage acceptance ranges from 18 to 36 V DC, with galvanic isolation between input and output stages.

• Slot Capacity: 16 measurement card slots + 1 system controller slot

• Rack Format: 19-inch, 6U height

• Rack Depth: 350 mm

• Power Supply: Accommodates up to two redundant power modules

• Backplane: Passive design with distributed power filtering

• Communication: Internal high-speed bus for controller-to-card communication

• Sampling Support: Up to 10 kHz per channel, 24-bit ADC resolution

• Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C

Measurement Capabilities

The CMC16 rack supports continuous monitoring of up to 16 measurement channels simultaneously. It accommodates IEPE accelerometers, velocity sensors, eddy current proximity probes, and 4-20 mA process transmitters. The system provides real-time data acquisition with programmable sampling rates and filtering options. When configured with appropriate measurement cards, the rack supports API 670-compliant protection logic for critical machinery applications.

Mechanical Specifications

Constructed from electro-galvanized steel, the CMC16 chassis provides mechanical rigidity and electromagnetic compatibility for reliable operation in industrial environments. Front-accessible card guides with extraction handles facilitate easy module insertion and removal. The rack includes mounting flanges for standard 19-inch cabinet installation. Ventilation is provided through side and rear openings, designed for forced-air cooling in typical control room installations.
