The VIBRO-METER VM600 RPS6U (Rack Power Supply 6U) with part number 200-582-200-011 is a critical component of the VM600 machinery protection and condition monitoring system. It provides the necessary regulated DC power to all modules within a VM600 system rack (like the ABE040 or ABE042).
VIBRO-METER VM600 RPS6U (200-582-200-011): Reliable Power for Machinery Monitoring
The RPS6U is a high-performance power supply unit designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, ensuring stable and continuous power delivery to sensitive monitoring electronics.
Primary Function and Role:
The VM600 RPS6U‘s primary function is to convert incoming AC or DC mains power into the regulated DC voltages required by the VM600 modules. It provides the +5 VDC and ±12 VDC power necessary for the operation of all processing cards (e.g., MPC4, CMC16), I/O cards (e.g., IOC4T, IOC16T), and the central processing unit (CPUM) within the VM600 rack.
The VM600 racks (ABE04x series) are designed to accommodate one or two RPS6U units, allowing for either a single non-redundant power supply or a redundant power supply configuration for enhanced system reliability.
Key Features and Specifications (for RPS6U series, including 200-582-200-011):
-
Output Voltages: Provides the standard DC voltages for VM600 modules:
- +5 VDC: High current output (e.g., up to 35 A for earlier versions like this one, or up to 50 A for later 330W versions).
- +12 VDC: (e.g., up to 6 A for earlier versions, or up to 8 A for later versions).
- -12 VDC: (e.g., up to 2 A for earlier versions, or up to 4 A for later versions).
- Note: Part number 200-582-200-011 is an earlier version, rated at 300 W.
-
Input Voltage Options: The RPS6U comes in various versions to accommodate different power sources. The 200-582-200-011 specifically indicates a 24 VDC input version. Other versions include:
- AC-input (115/230 VAC auto-ranging)
- Other DC-input options (48 VDC, 72 VDC, 110 VDC).
-
Protection Features:
- Output Over-voltage Protection: Prevents damage to modules from excessive voltage.
- Short-circuit Protection: Protects the power supply and system from short circuits.
- Overload Protection: Prevents damage due to excessive current draw.
- All protections typically include automatic recovery.
-
Redundancy Capability:
- A VM600 rack can be equipped with two RPS6U units for power supply redundancy. In this configuration, if one RPS6U fails, the other can take over the full load, ensuring continuous operation of the machinery monitoring system and increasing overall system availability.
- For applications operating above 50°C, two RPS6U units might be installed in a non-redundant load-sharing configuration to avoid derating issues with a single supply.
-
Status Indicators: Features status LEDs on the front panel to indicate normal operation or fault conditions.
-
Power Supply Check Relay: An external relay, often on the associated rear panel for the power supplies, is used to indicate that the RPS6U power supplies are operating normally.
-
High Efficiency: Designed for high power efficiency to minimize heat dissipation and energy consumption.
-
Form Factor: Installs in the front of a VM600 system rack (e.g., ABE04x), connecting via high-current connectors to the VME bus of the rack’s backplane.
-
Environmental Robustness: Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, with specified operating temperature ranges (-25°C to +65°C) and resistance to shock and vibration.
What does the part number 200-582-200-011 signify
- 200-582-xxx-xxx: This is the general numbering scheme for VM600 RPS6U power supply units.
- 200-582-200-011: The “200” in the fourth and fifth digits specifically identifies this as a 24 VDC input version. The “-011” at the end indicates a particular hardware/firmware revision or specific factory configuration. As an “01h” series (e.g., 011), it falls under the earlier RPS6U versions typically rated at 300 W total output power, compared to later “02h” versions (e.g., 021) which are rated at 330 W and offer higher current capabilities.
System Integration:
The RPS6U is fundamental to any VM600 system:
- It is physically installed in dedicated slots in the VM600 rack (ABE040/ABE042), typically at one end or both ends for redundancy.
- It connects directly to the rack’s VME backplane, providing power to all inserted VM600 modules (CPUM, MPC4, CMC16, IOCs, RLC16, etc.).
- Input power (in this case, 24 VDC) is wired to a dedicated rear panel assembly associated with the power supply slots in the rack.
Applications and Industries:
The RPS6U is used in all industrial applications where the VIBRO-METER VM600 machinery protection and condition monitoring systems are deployed. This includes:
- Power Generation: Ensuring stable power to systems monitoring turbines, generators, and auxiliary equipment.
- Oil & Gas: Providing reliable power to critical monitoring systems for compressors, pumps, and other turbomachinery in refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms.
- Chemical and Petrochemical: Powering systems that monitor hazardous process equipment.
- Heavy Manufacturing: Supporting monitoring systems for large motors, gearboxes, and production machinery.
Product Status:
The VIBRO-METER VM600 RPS6U, including the 200-582-200-011 variant, is a mature product. Parker Meggitt (formerly Meggitt Sensing Systems) continues to provide support for the installed base, offering spare parts, repairs, and technical assistance. While newer VM600Mk2 series power supplies exist for new installations, the RPS6U remains a core supported component for existing VM600 systems, ensuring their continued operation and reliability.
