VIBRO-METER MPC4 200-510-111-035 | Machinery Protection

Description

• Model: MPC4
• Part Number: 200-510-111-035
• Brand: Vibro-Meter
• Part Type: VM600 machinery protection processing card
• Channels: 4 dynamic channels + 2 tachometer channels
• Platform: VM600 rack-based machinery protection system

Technical Introduction

When a rotating machine needs independent vibration protection, the MPC4 handles the signal processing and protection logic at the card level.

The Vibro-Meter MPC4 200-510-111-035 is a VM600 machinery protection card designed for four dynamic measurement channels plus two tachometer/speed channels. The official Vibro-meter catalogue specifies MPC4 as the processing card for VM600 machinery protection systems and states that it operates as a card pair with an IOC4T interface card installed in compatible VM600 racks. Meggitt’s MPC4 datasheet explains that the number uses the format 200-510-SSS-1Hh, where the firmware and hardware versions form part of the ordering number; the 2017-era redesign also introduced RoHS-compliant versions with 50 Ω buffered dynamic outputs.

Engineer’s Takeaway: Do not buy this card by the “MPC4” name alone. The complete 200-510-111-035 ordering number, paired IOC4T version, rack compatibility, and firmware/hardware revision need to match the installed VM600 system.

Vibro-meter currently states that the original is being phased out, with no replacement for , while the VM600Mk2 platform uses the MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 combination.

Field Engineer’s Tech Notes

1. Verify the IOC4T revision as carefully as the revision. The is not a standalone field-interface card. It requires the appropriate IOC4T card to form the complete processing/interface pair. OEM documentation identifies later /IOC4T combinations with 50 Ω buffered outputs, while earlier generations used 2,000 Ω output impedance. Mixing generations can create signal-interface problems with existing instrumentation.
2. Do not assume all cards are interchangeable. The OEM ordering structure distinguishes standard, separate-circuit, and SIL versions, and the hardware-revision suffix can affect interchangeability. Match the complete ordering number against the installed card and system configuration.

Adaptive QA & Testing Protocol

Incoming inspection for 200-510-111-035 includes ordering-number verification, PCB and connector inspection, hardware-revision identification, ESD-safe handling, and comparison with the customer’s existing .

Functional testing should use a compatible rack + arrangement. The test sequence should verify card initialization, the four dynamic-channel signal paths, the two tachometer inputs, alarm/protection processing, and the RS-232 configuration interface. Where the installed system uses the VME interface, communication with the rack controller should also be checked.

For vibration-system testing, calibrated signal simulation should be used rather than relying only on a power-up check. Inspection photographs, test reports, and available test videos can be supplied upon request.

Buyer’s FAQ

Q: What is the VIBRO-METER 200-510-111-035?
A: It is a machinery protection processing card providing four dynamic channels and two tachometer channels.

Q: Does the operate by itself?
A: No. The OEM specifies that an is installed with an interface card to form the machinery-protection card pair.

Q: Is 200-510-111-035 still a current product?
A: The original is being phased out. Vibro-meter states that spares are available until 2027, with no replacement for the original platform; VM600Mk2 uses MPC4Mk2 + IOC4Mk2 instead.

Q: Can you supply a tested replacement?
A: Availability may include New Surplus (NSFP), refurbished, or tested legacy stock. The exact condition, warranty, and available test evidence should be confirmed on the quotation.
