• Primary Application: Protecting and monitoring turbines, compressors, pumps, and large motors.

• Data Integration: Providing processed analog outputs (0-10V / 4-20mA) to external control systems like DCS or PLC.

• Alarm Management: Utilizing local and remote relays for alarm signaling and initiating protective actions.

• Safety Systems: Used in functional safety contexts (e.g., SIL applications) with appropriate safety-certified versions.

• Industry Use: Applied across a wide range of industries, including power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing.

FAQ

Q1: What is the core function of the VIBRO-METER MPC4 200-510-SSS-1Hh?

A1: It is a machinery protection card designed to continuously monitor and process four dynamic vibration channels and two phase reference (speed) channels.

Q2: What card is required to operate the MPC4 card?

A2: It must operate as a paired unit with a corresponding IOC4T input/output card, which handles all sensor connections and signal interfacing.

Q3: What types of output signals does the system provide?

A3: The paired MPC4/IOC4T system provides processed signals as both 0-10V voltage and 4-20mA current outputs, selectable via jumpers on the IOC4T.

Q4: How does the system handle alarm signals?

A4: It provides alarm signals that can drive four local relays on the IOC4T and can be routed to optional relay cards in the rack for comprehensive alarm management.

Q5: Is this card suitable for functional safety applications?

A5: Yes, safety (SIL) versions of the MPC4 card are available and certified for use in functional safety contexts when paired with the appropriate hardware and configuration.
