Product Details:
The VIBRO-METER VM600 CMC16 (200-530-025-014 / 200-530-111-013) is specifically designed to collect and process the in-depth data required for comprehensive condition monitoring programs. Unlike basic protection systems that merely alarm or shut down machinery, the CMC16 allows for detailed analysis to predict failures and enable proactive maintenance.
Imagine a large industrial fan in a power plant. Continuous monitoring of its bearings, gearbox, and motor is vital to prevent unscheduled outages. The CMC16 modules would continuously acquire vibration, temperature, and speed data. Through its on-board DSP, the CMC16 can perform real-time FFTs on vibration signals, allowing operators and engineers to detect subtle changes in frequency patterns that might indicate early bearing wear, unbalance, or misalignment. The module’s intelligent logging ensures that high-resolution waveforms and spectra are captured when specific conditions or alarms occur, providing crucial data for diagnosing the root cause of issues. This capability enables maintenance teams to schedule interventions during planned downtime, avoiding costly emergency repairs and maximizing equipment lifespan.
Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities and attributes:
1. Comprehensive Data Acquisition and Processing:
- 16 Channels: High-density monitoring capability within a single module.
- Input Flexibility: Channels are highly configurable to accept a wide range of inputs:
- Dynamic: Vibration (acceleration, velocity, displacement from proximity probes), dynamic pressure.
- Static/Process: Temperature (from thermocouples, RTDs), current (e.g., 4-20mA), voltage inputs (e.g., 0-10V).
- Tachometer/Phase: The first 4 channels can often be configured for speed measurement and phase reference, critical for synchronous data acquisition and order tracking.
- Real-time DSP: Utilizes powerful Digital Signal Processors for real-time measurement and analysis, ensuring immediate access to critical data.
- High-Resolution FFT: Offers high-resolution Fast Fourier Transform capabilities (e.g., 3200 to 6400 lines), essential for detailed spectral analysis to identify specific fault frequencies.
- Digital Filtering: Includes programmable digital broadband and tracking filters for enhanced signal quality and analysis focus.
- Synchronous and Asynchronous Sampling: Supports both time-based (asynchronous) and speed-based (synchronous/order tracking) data acquisition, crucial for analyzing machinery behavior across varying operating speeds.
- Auto Run-up & Coast-down Detection: Automatically detects machine speed changes during start-up and shutdown, enabling the capture of critical transient data.
2. Intelligent Data Management and Alarming:
- Event-based Logging: Features intelligent data acquisition and logging, including “on alarm” or “on exception”-based logging. This ensures that high-resolution data (waveforms, spectra, orbits) is captured automatically when anomalous events occur.
- On-board Buffer Storage: Equipped with internal memory to store captured data, providing a buffer even if continuous network communication is temporarily interrupted.
- Configurable Alarms: Multiple configurable alarm levels per processed output (e.g., 6 alarms per output), often with adaptive levels that can adjust based on machine operating parameters like speed and load.
3. System Integration and Outputs:
- VME Architecture: Integrates seamlessly into the VM600 rack via the VME backplane, which handles internal communication and power distribution.
- Companion I/O Module: The CMC16 (like the XMV16/XMC16) typically requires a companion IOC16T (Input/Output Card 16) or similar XIO16T variant to provide the physical sensor connections and buffered raw signal outputs. The CMC16 is installed in the front of a VM600 rack, and the IOC16T in the rear, forming a “card pair.”
- Ethernet Communication: Utilizes Ethernet for efficient data transfer to host PCs running VibroSight® software, which provides comprehensive data visualization, analysis, and diagnostic tools.
- Integration with CPUM: Communicates with the VM600 rack’s CPUM (Central Processing Unit Module) for overall system management, configuration, and higher-level communication to DCS/SCADA systems.
