VM600 configuration software
MPS1 and MPS2

DESCRIPTION

Two configuration software packages are available for use with the VM600 series machinery protection systems
(MPSs) from Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Vibro-Meter ® product line: MPS1 and MPS2.
The packages run under Microsoft ® Windows Server 2003, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista
and Windows 7 and are menu-driven for ease of use.

MPS1 and MPS2 Software – configuration

The MPS1 Software and the
MPS2 Software both support the
stand-alone configuration of
MPC4 and AMC8 cards, via the
cards’ serial connectors.
Alternatively, if the cards are
installed in a networked VM600
rack (that is, a rack containing a
CPUM card used for rack control
and communication), they can be
configured in "one-shot" mode
using an Ethernet TCP/IP link
from the computer to the CPUM.
All major parameters concerning
the speed and vibration channels
processed by the cards can be
configured. This includes the input
of sensor characteristics, the
choice of the type of vibration Configuration screen for an MPC4 card
monitoring to perform, the
definition of measurement units,
rectification types, alarm levels
and so on.

MPS2 Software – trending (visualisation)

The MPS2 Software also supports
the visualisation and trending of
data for MPC4 and AMC8 cards
installed in a networked VM600
rack. MPS2 adds additional data
recording and display features to
the basic configuration
functionality of the MPS1
Software. With MPS2, the data
measured can be stored in a
database and recalled later for
trend analysis. Up to 50 000 data
records can be stored using a
cyclic ‘first-in-first-out’ method.
Note: The period of time that
database records can cover
depends on the data acquisition
rate you have specified.
