Replacement parts and accessories
Use only approved replacement parts and accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Only use replacement parts and accessories intended for use with
VM600 racks that have been approved by Meggitt SA.
Using incompatible replacement parts and accessories could be
dangerous and may damage the equipment or result in injury.

• Visit the Meggitt Vibro-Meter ® website at www.meggittsensing.com/energy
• Contact your Meggitt representative.

Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices

Certain devices used in electronic equipment can be damaged by electrostatic discharges
resulting from built-up static electricity. Because of this, special precautions must be taken to
minimise or eliminate the possibility of these electrostatic discharges occurring.

Read the following recommendations carefully before handling electronic

circuits, printed circuit boards or modules containing electronic
components.

• Before handling electronic circuits, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object (such as a pipe or cabinet).
• Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing
material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton
blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.
• Do not handle electronic circuits unless it is absolutely necessary. Only hold cards by
their handles or panels.
• Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
• Put the electronic circuit, printed circuit board or module containing electronic
components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it from a VM600
rack.

 INTRODUCTION
Application

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Application
The VM600 CPUR and IOCR rack controller and communications interface card pair consists
of a CPUR processing card and a corresponding IOCR input/output card for VM600
machinery protection system (MPS) racks. The CPUR/IOCR card pair acts as a rack
controller and provides communication interfaces to other systems via Modbus TRU/TCP.
The CPUR/IOCR card pair has the same features/functionality as the CPUM/IOCN card pair,
with the main differences being that the CPUR/IOCR supports “true redundant” operation but
does not have a front-panel display (see 4.1 Different versions of the VM600 CPUx card).

NOTE: The CPUR cannot operate on its own in the rack (unlike the CPUM) and is always
used with a matching IOCR as a card pair. For example, the simplest rack
configuration using the CPUR and IOCR requires a single card pair and a
redundant system requires two CPUR and IOCR card pairs.

When two CPUR/IOCR card pairs are installed in a VM600 rack, “true redundant” operation
is supported as follows: in the event of a card pair failure, the other card pair will automatically
take control (see 4.4.5 Switch over), thereby increasing the availability of a system.
The CPUR and IOCR card pair is intended as a system controller in a VM600 rack-based
machinery protection system (MPS) and/or condition monitoring system (CMS). These
systems are typically used for vibration monitoring to assure the protection of rotating
machinery as used in, for example, the power generation, petrochemical and petroleum
industries as well as in marine related applications.

1.2 General overview

The CPUR/IOCR card pair is applicable to MPSs and/or CMSs from Meggitt Vibro-Meter ®
using a standard VM600 rack, that is, a VM600 system rack (ABE040 - 6U 19" rack).
A VM600 rack can contain various types of cards depending on the application. There are
basically three types of system:
• Machinery protection system (MPS) in a VM600 system rack (ABE040 – 6U 19" rack) or
VM600 slimline rack (ABE056 – 1U 19" rack).
• Condition monitoring system (CMS) in a VM600 system rack (ABE040 – 6U 19" rack) or
VM600 slimline rack (ABE056 – 1U 19" rack).
• Combined MPS and CMS in a VM600 system rack (ABE04x - 6U 19" rack).

NOTE: This manual describes only the CPUR and IOCR rack controller and
communications interface card pair with support for Modbus RTU/TCP and card
pair redundancy. Further information on MPS and CMS hardware can be found in
their corresponding manuals. See Related publications and documentation.

INTRODUCTION
General overview

As the CPUR and IOCR redundant card pair includes all of the features of the CPUM and
IOCN card pair, a CPUR/IOCR card pair can be used to replace a CPUM and IOCN card pair
in any VM600 system that requires non-redundant CPUx operation.

NOTE: The CPUR and IOCR rack controller and communications interface card pair with
support for Modbus RTU/TCP and card pair redundancy is only compatible with
earlier generation condition monitoring systems (CMSs) using CMC16/IOC16T
card pairs. It is not compatible with later generation CMSs using XMx16/XIO16T
card pairs.

For example, a networked version of a VM600 rack-based MPS could contain the following
hardware:
1- ABE04x system rack (6U 19" rack)

NOTE: Only later versions of the VM600 rack (ABE04x) containing the VME utility bus are
compatible with the CPUR/IOCR card pair. See 1.3.4 Rack compatibility.

2- RPS6U rack power supply unit

3- ASPS auxiliary sensor power supply unit (with an AC version of the RPS6U only)
4- MPC4 machinery protection card
5- IOC4T input/output card matching the MPC4
(The MPC4 and IOC4T cards form an inseparable pair and one cannot be used without the
other. These cards are used principally for vibration monitoring.)
6- AMC8 analog monitoring card
7- IOC8T input/output card matching the AMC8.
(The AMC8 and IOC8T cards also form an inseparable pair. These cards are used principally
for monitoring quasi-static parameters such as temperature, fluid level or flow rate.)
8- RLC16 relay card (16 relays) and IRC4 intelligent relay card (8 relays combined as either
4x DPDT or 8x SPDT)
9- CPUx modular CPU card
10- IOCx input/output card (matching the CPUx).

The CPUx and IOCx card pair are required for the MPS to be compatible with a computer
network. A stand-alone (that is, not connected to a network) MPS could be created by
removing the CPUx and IOCx and in fact, a more simple rack could contain:
• only MPC4 / IOC4T card pairs
• only AMC8 / IOC8T card pairs
• a combination of MPC4 / IOC4T and AMC8 / IOC8T card pairs

Figure 1-1 shows the front view of a typical combined MPS and CMS rack.

NOTE: Refer to the data sheets for full technical specifications of the MPS hardware (rack,
cards and modules).

 INTRODUCTION
CPUR/IOCR card pair

1.3 CPUR/IOCR card pair

The CPUR is a central processing unit (CPU) card that acts as a system controller in a VM600
rack and provides “true redundant” operation.
The IOCR is a network communications card that acts as a signal and communications
interface for the CPUR card. It includes a 8P8C (RJ45) connector for a Gigabit Ethernet
connection and a pair of D-sub connectors for configuring multi-drop RS-485 networks of
VM600 racks.
The modular, highly versatile design of this card pair supports all rack configuration and
communications interfacing from a single point (external interface).

1.3.1 Functions
The main functions of the CPUR and IOCR are:
• Run the software for controlling the processing cards (such as MPC4, AMC8 and
CMC16) in a VM600 MPS or CMS:
• Runs the software for controlling, configuring, diagnosing and monitoring the
processing cards
• Sends configuration and control commands over the control bus to the other cards
• Receives status, alarm messages and statistics from the other cards
• Communicates with other nodes in the network
• Communicates with the other cards in a VM600 rack over the VME bus (internal).
• ‘One-shot’ configuration of all cards in a VM600 rack using an Ethernet connection from
an external computer running the appropriate software such as the VibroSight ®,
VM600 MPSx and/or VM600 CMS software.
• Automatic configuration of a processing card if it is replaced (“hot-swap”).
• Up to two serial connections (RS-232 and RS-485), as well as one Ethernet connection.
'Redundant' communications links can be configured where necessary.
• Redundancy in respect to the automatic configuration of the cards in the rack and in
respect to the communication with third party devices (such as a DCS or PCS).

1.3.2 Features
In addition to all of the standard features of the CPUM and IOCN card pair, the main features
of the CPUR and IOCR are:
• Multi-master architecture with up to two CPUR/IOCR card pairs per rack.
• Higher VME bus (internal) communication speed.
• Lower power consumption (<15 W).
• Live insertion and removal of cards (“hot-swap”).
• External communication interfaces with third party devices such as DCS /PCS.
• Simultaneous operation of Gigabit Ethernet and serial (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) for
redundant communications.
• Extended operating temperature range of −20°C to +65°C (−4°F to +149°F).
• Alarm and diagnostic event list, with up to 2 000 events available using Modbus.
• Fully software configurable serial interfaces:
• Half-duplex or full-duplex operation
• Differential lines held active or inactive
• Line termination (120 Ω).

CPUR/IOCR card pair

1.3.3 Specifications
For full technical specifications of the CPUR and IOCR card pair, refer to the corresponding
data sheet available from Meggitt.

1.3.4 Rack compatibility

The CPUR/IOCR card pair requires an I2C interface (part of the VM600 rack’s VME utility
bus) to implement the redundancy functionality, so they can only be used with later versions
of the VM600 rack (ABE04x) that contain the I2C interface (VME utility bus).
Accordingly, CPUR/IOCR card pairs can only be used with VM600 racks (ABE04x) listed in
Table 1-1.
.

NOTE: It is important to consider CPUR/IOCR card pair and VM600 rack (ABE04x)
compatibility when updating an existing system and replacing a CPUM/IOCN card
pair with a CPUR/IOCR.

1.3.5 Limitations
While otherwise compatible with the CPUM and IOCN card pair, the CPUR/IOCR card pair
does not support the capability to be configured via a VT100 terminal session or via a PPP
connection, as described in the VM600 networking manual.

 INTRODUCTION
Terminology

1.4 Terminology
No special terminology is necessary when using a single CPUR/IOCR card pair as a “system
controller” in a VM600, for example, as a replacement for a CPUM/IOCN card pair).
However, when two functionally equivalent CPUR/IOCR card pairs are installed in a VM600
rack in order to obtain 'true redundant' operation, it becomes necessary to make a distinction
between these different CPUR/IOCR card pairs.
In general:
• The Master CPUR is the first CPUR, installed in the left-most position (slot 0) in the rack.
Under normal operating conditions, the Master CPUR is the controlling (active) CPUR
card in a system.
• The Inactive CPUR is the second CPUR, installed in the next available position (slot 1
or slot 2) in the rack. This is the redundant card, that is, the backup CPUR that
automatically takes control of a system, if the Master CPUR fails.
During normal operation, the Master CPUR is the ‘active’ card. It processes all external
communications and ensures that the Inactive CPUR remains synchronised with it, in case
of a failure. At the same time, the Inactive CPUR constantly monitors the status of the Master
CPUR card, so that if the Master CPUR fails, the Inactive CPUR will detect this and
automatically take control of the system, thereby becoming the Master CPUR (“system
controller”). In this way, there is no impact on the system functionality and the availability of
the entire system is increased.
Also, in this manual:
• A redundant system refers to a VM600 rack with two CPUR/IOCR card pairs installed.
These systems use two CPUR/IOCR card pairs for redundancy, in order to increase the
availability of the system.
• A non-redundant (or standard) system refers to a VM600 rack with one CPUR/IOCR
card pair installed.
These systems use a single CPUR/IOCR card pair to replace a CPUM/IOCN card pair),
typically for improved system performance. For example, the CPUR/IOCR card pair
includes five relays which can be used to indicate the status of the rack/system (unlike
the CPUM/IOCN card pair).
If two fully operational CPUR/IOCR card pairs are in a VM600 rack and the Master CPUR
fails, the card pairs will swap roles (that is, the Master CPUR card pair becomes the Inactive

Communicating with a CPUR/IOCR card pair on a network

1.5 Communicating with a CPUR/IOCR card pair on a network

A VM600 MPS and/or CMS may be configured in several ways, depending on the hardware
installed in the ABE040 rack. Figure 1-2 shows the various possibilities for communicating
with the system, including using a CPUR/IOCR card pair as the rack controller and
communications interface.
In all cases:
• The VM600 MPSx software (MPS1 or MPS2) is required to perform the configuration of
MPC4 machinery protection cards and AMC8 analog monitoring cards.
• The VM600 CMS software is required to perform the configuration of the
CMC16 condition monitoring cards (using the CPUR/IOCR system controller, over
Ethernet).
• The VibroSight System Manager software module is required to perform the
configuration and management of CPUR/ IOCR rack controller and communications
interface card pairs.
Figure 1-2 (a) shows the simplest configuration. This is a stand-alone rack, that is, it does not
contain a system controller (CPUR/ IOCR) card (so no CMC16 condition monitoring cards
can be used), thereby limiting the rack to a machinery protection system only. In this scenario,
the MPS cards (such as MPC4 or AMC8) must be programmed individually from a computer
over an RS-232 link. This is done via a 9-pin D-sub connector on the front panel of each of
these card types.
Figure 1-2 (b) shows a rack containing a CPUR/IOCR card pair as the system controller. A
Gigabit Ethernet link may be established between the computer and the VM600 rack via this
card pair. The connection is made on the front panel of the IOCR, hence at the rear of the
rack. Communication between the CPUR and all other cards in the rack takes place over an
internal VME bus on the rack backplane.
Figure 1-2 (c) shows a rack containing two CPUR/IOCR card pairs in a redundant
configuration (see 4.4 Redundant behaviour).
As before, Gigabit Ethernet link may be established between the computer and the VM600
rack using either of these card pairs. As before, connections are made on the IOCR cards
(rear of the rack) and communication between the CPUR cards and all other cards in the rack
takes place over the internal VME bus on the rack backplane.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 networking manual for further general information on
networking.

NOTE: VibroSight signal processing cards (such as XMV16/XIO16T and XMV16/XIO16T

card pairs) can coexist with other cards in a VM600 rack. However, the VibroSight
signal processing cards do not utilise the VME bus, so they exist independently of
any system controller (CPUR/IOCR or CPUM/IOCN) in a VM600 rack.

Racks

2 HARDWARE OVERVIEW
This chapter provides a brief overview of the physical appearance of the CPUR and IOCR
hardware. Functional information is also given for certain elements (such as indicators) found
on the front panels of the cards.

NOTE: Further information on specific elements can be found in the corresponding data
sheet.

2.1 Racks

2.1.1 19" Rack – 6U (ABE04x)

The CPUR and IOCR card pair is designed for operation in standard VM600 series racks that
supports the VME utility bus.

NOTE: The CPUR/IOCR card pair is compatible with the VM600 racks (ABE04x) listed in
1.3.4 Rack compatibility.

An ABE04x contains a front and a rear card cage. The card cages are separated by the rack
backplane. The new ABE04x rack is fully backwards compatible with existing ABE04x racks
but adds support for a VME utility bus (based on I2C) that is used to detect CPUR card failure,
and therefore enable redundant operation.
An example of an MPS housed in an ABE04x rack is shown in Figure 1-1. The appearance
of the front and rear panels of the rack depends entirely on the types of cards installed in the
two card cages. Only the CPUR and IOCR cards are presented in this chapter.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
details and explanations of other VM600 cards including power supplies.

2.1.2 19" Rack – 1U (ABE056)

A slimline 1U 19" rack (ABE056) is also available in the VM600 series but it only contains one
processing card slot so it is not used with CPUR and IOCR card pairs.

2.2 CPUR rack controller and communications interface card

The CPUR card’s front panel (found on the front of the ABE040 rack) has the following
elements (see also Figure 2-1):
• Status LED
The status LED and the data LED are used to indicate the status of the card. The
meaning of the colour (green, orange or red) and state of the LEDs (off, blinking or on)
are given in 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs.
• Data LED
The data LED and the status LED are used to indicate the status of the card. The
meaning of the colour and state of the LEDs are given in 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs.

2.4 CPUR/IOCR card pair configurations in a VM600 rack

CPUR and IOCR card pairs can be deployed in the following configurations in a standard
VM600 rack:
• A non-redundant system (see 1.4 Terminology) consisting of one card pair (that is, one
CPUR combined with a corresponding IOCR)
• A redundant system (see 1.4 Terminology) consisting of two card pairs (that is, two
CPURs combined with their respective IOCRs).

2.4.1 Non-redundant system

This configuration is the minimum installation needed to have access to the functionality
described in 1.3 CPUR/IOCR card pair. However, it provides no redundancy.

2.4.2 Redundant system

This configuration provides all of the functionality described in 1.3 CPUR/IOCR card pair,
including redundancy.
In a redundant system, one of the card pairs is defined as the Master CPUR and the other
one is the Inactive CPUR (see 1.4 Terminology). Only the Master CPUR communicates with
the cards in the VM600 rack (over the internal VME bus). Both the Master CPUR and the
Inactive CPUR can communicate with third party devices, such as a DCS/PCS.

 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
System elements

3 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3.1 System elements

In order to gain an understanding of the operation of the CPUR and IOCR card pair, in both
redundant and non-redundant system, it is necessary to consider the interaction of the
principal elements making up such a system, namely:
1- ABE04x (19" x 6U) rack assembly
2- MPC4 machinery protection card
3- IOC4T input/output card matching the MPC4
4- AMC8 analog monitoring card
5- IOC8T input/output card matching the AMC8
6- RLC16 relay card (16 relays)
7- IRC4 intelligent relay card (4 DPDT or 8 SPDT relays).

An ABE04x rack can also contain the following:

8- RPS6U rack power supply unit
9- CPUx modular CPU card
10- IOCx input/output card (required for operation of a CPUR).

As outlined in 1.5 Communicating with a CPUR/IOCR card pair on a network, the number of
different elements used depends on the complexity of the system and the specific application.
However, a rack necessarily has one of the following possibilities:
• Only AMC8 / IOC8T card pairs
• Only MPC4 / IOC4T card pairs
• Only CMC16 / IOC16T card pairs
• A combination of these card pairs.

A networked VM600 rack (ABE04x) has one of the following additional possibilities:
• A CPUM/IOCN card pair, as described in the VM600 machinery protection system
(MPS) hardware manual
• A single CPUR/IOCR card pair for a non-redundant system
• Two CPUR/IOCR card pairs for a redundant system.

NOTE: As the CPUR/IOCR card pair is fully functionally compatible with the CPUM/IOCN
card pair in most applications and because these card pairs occupy the same slots
in a VM600 rack, a VM600 rack (ABE04x) will never contain both CPUR/IOCR and
CPUM/IOCN card pairs.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
information on the VM600 backplane, including the tacho, open collector and raw
buses used by a VM600 system.

3.2.1 VME utility bus

The latest VM600 rack (see 2.1.1 19" Rack – 6U (ABE04x), required for operation with a
CPUR and IOCR card pair, includes a (internal only) VME utility bus that is used to detect
CPUR card failure, and therefore enable redundant operation.
See also 1.3.4 Rack compatibility.

3.3 Racks with CPUR and IOCR card pairs

Figure 3-1 shows a block diagram of a networked rack featuring a CPUR and IOCR card pair.
It shows the interaction between these two cards as well as between them and other cards
in the rack.
Raw signals are processed in analogue and digital circuits by the signal
processing /measurement cards such as the MPC4 and CMC16 cards. These cards handle
the management of signals, alarm levels, signal processing and so on. The user is able to
modify parameters concerning these operations by using the VM600 MPSx software and/or
the VM600 CMS software, as appropriate.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
details and explanations of VM600 cards other than the CPUR and IOCR.

The CPUR and IOCR card pair as a “rack controller” and communicates with the other (signal
processing) card pairs (such as the AMC8, CMC16 and MPC4) in the rack over the VME bus.
In addition, two CPUR and IOCR installed card pairs in a VM600 rack use a VME utility bus
to communicate with each another in order to support redundant behaviour.

NOTE: The CPUR cannot operate on its own in the rack (unlike the CPUM) and is always
used with a matching IOCR as a card pair. For example, the simplest rack
configuration using the CPUR and IOCR requires a single card pair and a
redundant system requires two CPUR and IOCR card pairs.

The CPUR and IOCR, and therefore the rack, communicates with the outside world over
Ethernet and serial communications links. Depending on the CPUR/IOCR card pair’s
configuration, the IOCR allows communication with a computer running the appropriate
software (VibroSight ®, VM600 MPSx and/or VM600 CMS) over an Ethernet link or with a
network over either an Ethernet link or a serial link (RS-232, RS-485 full-duplex and RS-485
half-duplex). See 4 CPUR and IOCR card pair for more detailed information.
New system features (inputs / outputs) supported by the CPUR and IOCR card pair include:
• Detection of card removal (available via Modbus and VibroSight System Manager)
• Detection of card/rack status (card OK / not OK, available via VibroSight
System Manager and/or relay outputs)

3.4.1 VM600 signal processing cards

The CPUR/IOCR card pair communicates with the other cards in a VM600 rack (that is, the
AMC8, CMC16, MPC4 signal processing cards and their corresponding input/output cards)
over the VME bus. This bus is part of the VM600 backplane, internal to the rack.
This allows the CPUR/IOCR card pair to act as a gateway between:
• The VM600 MPSx software and MPC4 and/or AMC8 signal processing cards
(see 3.4.3 VM600 MPSx software)
• The VM600 CMS software and CMC16 signal processing cards
(see 3.4.4 VM600 CMS software).

 GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Communication with other CMS and MPS components

NOTE: The CPUR and IOCR rack controller and communications interface card pair with
support for Modbus RTU/TCP and card pair redundancy is compatible with earlier
generation condition monitoring systems (CMSs) using CMC16/IOC16T card pairs
only. It is not compatible with later generation CMSs using XMx16/XIO16T card
pairs.

3.4.2 External systems

The CPUR/IOCR card pair implements a Modbus server that supports the industry standard
Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols, for communication with external systems, such as
a DCS or PCS.
The external system can communicate directly with the CPUR/IOCR card pair (“system
controller”) using an serial communications or Ethernet connection, as required.

3.4.3 VM600 MPSx software

VM600 MPS1 is the configuration software and VM600 MPS2 is the configuration and
trending software for use with a VM600-based machinery protection system. This software is
used to configure MPC4 and AMC8 cards (and their corresponding input/output cards) and
to retrieve the data generated by them for display and analysis.
In a VM600 rack that contains a CPUR/IOCR card pair, the CPUR/IOCR (“system
controller”) can act as a gateway between the VM600 MPSx software and the other cards in
the rack:
• The CPUR/IOCR card pair connects to the computer running the VM600 MPSx software
using the Ethernet connection (connector J4 on the IOCR card).
• The CPUR/IOCR card pair receives the requests sent by the VM600 MPSx software that
are destined for the AMC8 and MPC4 cards in the same rack and forwards them to the
corresponding card (over the VME bus).
If a request sent by the VM600 MPSx software via the CPUR/IOCR card pair is a
command to configure an AMC8 or MPC4 card then the CPUR/IOCR will store a copy
of this configuration information in non-volatile memory for later use.
• The CPUR/IOCR card pair receives the responses sent by the AMC8 or MPC4 cards,
based on requests from the MPS software, and forwards them to the VM600 MPSx
software.

3.4.4 VM600 CMS software

VM600 CMS is configuration, data presentation and analysis software for use with a VM600
rack-based condition monitoring system. This software is used to configure CMC16 cards
(and their corresponding input/output cards) and to retrieve the data generated by them for
display and analysis.
In a VM600 rack that contains a CPUR/IOCR card pair, the CPUR/IOCR (“system

the rack:
• The CPUR/IOCR card pair connects to the computer running the VM600 CMS software

• The CPUR/IOCR card pair receives the requests sent by the VM600 CMS software that
are destined for the CMC16 cards in the same rack and forwards them to the
corresponding card (over the VME bus).
If a request sent by the VM600 CMS software via the CPUR/IOCR card pair is a
command to configure an CMC16 card then the CPUR/IOCR will store a copy of this
configuration information in non-volatile memory for later use.
• The CPUR/IOCR card pair receives the responses sent by the CMC16 cards, based on
requests from the VM600 CMS software, and forwards them to the VM600 CMS
software.

3.4.5 VibroSight System Manager software

VibroSight System Manager is the software module (from the VibroSight ® suite of software)
that provides the tools to manage a VibroSight-based system’s hardware and software. This
includes the configuration and management of a CPUR/IOCR card pair, for example, to
configure IP addresses, set NTP server addresses and upgrade firmware.

NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Meggitt Vibro-Meter ® product data sheet for further

4.1 Different versions of the VM600 CPUx card

Different versions of VM600 CPUx “rack controller and communications interface” card are
available, including the CPUM, CPUR and CPUR2.

4.1.1 CPUR2
The CPUR2 card is the latest version of CPUR rack controller and communications interface
card with support for PROFIBUS (PNR 600-026-000-VVV).

NOTE: The CPUR2 does not support card pair redundancy (unlike the CPUR).

The CPUR2 must be used in conjunction with an associated IOCR2 input/output card as a
CPUR2/IOCR2 card pair.

4.1.2 CPUR
The CPUR card is the earlier version of CPUR rack controller and communications interface
card with support for Modbus RTU/TCP and card pair redundancy (PNR 600-007-000-VVV).
The CPUR must be used in conjunction with an associated IOCR input/output card as a
CPUR/IOCR card pair.

NOTE: This VM600 CPUR and IOCR redundant card pair manual provides details and
explanations of the CPUR and IOCR.

4.1.3 CPUM
The CPUM card is the original version of rack controller and communications interface card
(also known as the modular CPU card), with support for Modbus RTU/TCP and PROFINET
(PNR 200-595-0SS-HHH).
The CPUM can be used alone or in conjunction with the associated IOCN input/output card
as a CPUM/IOCN card pair card.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
details and explanations of the CPUM and IOCN.

See also 1.3.4 Rack compatibility.

4.2 Overview
The CPUR is a rack controller and communications interface card (also known as a central
processing unit (CPU) card) containing a PowerPC ® based processor and an FPGA that
work together to act as a “system controller” (rack controller) in a networked VM600 system
and provide redundant operation. This card runs the software for configuring, controlling,
monitoring and diagnosing all of the processing cards in a VM600 series rack. The redundant
function is obtained by using two functionally equivalent CPUR and IOCR card pairs in the
same VM600 rack (see 4.4 Redundant behaviour).

Edition 2 - September 2019 VM600 CPUR and IOCR rack controller

CPUR AND IOCR CARD PAIR
Operation

The IOCR card acts as a signal and communications interface for the CPUR card. This card
includes an 8P8C (RJ45) connector for the Ethernet connection and two D-sub connectors
for configuring multi-drop RS-485 networks of VM600 racks. It also protects all of the inputs
against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal surges to meet electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) standards.
The CPUR and IOCR function as a card pair in the VM600 series of Machinery Protection
System (MPS) and Condition Monitoring System (CMS) racks, from Meggitt’s Vibro-Meter ®
product line. The card pair can perform all rack configuration and communications interfacing
required by a VM600 rack.
The CPUR is installed in the front of the VM600 rack and the associated IOCR is installed in
the rear of the rack (in the slot directly behind its associated CPUR). Only the latest VM600
racks (ABE04x) can be used and each card connects directly to the rack’s backplane using
two connectors (see Figure 3-1).

4.3 Operation

NOTE: The primary advantage of having two CPUR/IOCR card pairs installed in a rack is
to have redundancy in terms of communication with external systems and in terms
of automatic configuration of processing card pairs in the rack.

4.4 Redundant behaviour

The functions implemented to support redundant behaviour consist of:
• Data mirroring – external communication links carry the same content
• Dedicated supervision bus – the Master CPUR and the Inactive CPUR constantly
monitor each other’s status
• Mutual detection mechanism – the Inactive CPUR automatically takes control if the
Master CPUR fails
• Status communication – the status of every card in the system is available externally.
Two functionally equivalent CPUR and IOCR card pairs must be installed in a VM600 in order
to obtain redundant behaviour, as shown in Figure 4-1. The CPUR and IOCR card pairs can
be installed in slots 0, 1 and 2 of a VM600 rack. However, in a typical application, they are
installed in slot 0 and slot 1.

NOTE: When two CPUR/IOCR card pairs are installed in a VM600 rack in order to obtain
redundant operation, it becomes necessary to make a distinction between the
different CPUR/IOCR card pairs (see 1.4 Terminology).

The redundant behaviour is obtained by using two CPUR/IOCR card pairs in the same
VM600 rack. Both card pairs are functionally equivalent and the determination of which is the
Master CPUR and which is the Inactive CPUR is made when the external power supply to
the rack is turned on: the left-most CPUR becomes the Master CPUR and the other CPUR
becomes the Inactive CPUR (the ‘backup’ card).

4.4.1 Data mirroring

During normal operation of a redundant system, both card pairs run simultaneously
(see Figure 4-1). The Master CPUR is the ‘active’ card and processes all external

 CPUR AND IOCR CARD PAIR
Redundant behaviour

communications. The Master CPUR also ensures that data is mirrored to the Inactive CPUR
in real-time, so that both CPUR/IOCR card pairs remain synchronised (contain identical
information).

4.4.2 Dedicated supervision bus

The VME utility bus (see 3.2.1 VME utility bus) is used as an dedicated supervision bus that,
in conjunction with the alive monitors on each of the CPUR cards, allows the Master CPUR
and the Inactive CPUR to constantly monitor each other’s status.
In this way, the status or failure of a CPUR/IOCR card pair can be determined by the other
card pair and also made available externally, if required.

4.4.3 Mutual detection mechanism

In the case of a Master CPUR failure, the Inactive CPUR will automatically detect this,
become the ‘active’ card and take control of the system. In this way, there is no impact on the
system functionality and the availability of the entire system is increased.

4.4.4 Status communication

Third party devices, such as a distributed control system (DCS) can query either
CPUR/IOCR card pair, at any time, to check the status of the system (that is, to obtain the
status of the CPUR/IOCR card pairs or any processing cards in the rack).

4.4.5 Switch over

4.4.5.1 Non-redundant system

If only one fully operational CPUR/IOCR card pair is in a VM600 rack then this card pair is
the Master CPUR (“system controller”) and no switch over is possible.

4.4.5.2 Redundant system

If two fully operational CPUR/IOCR card pairs are in a VM600 rack and the Master CPUR
fails, the Inactive CPUR card pair will:
• detect the failure of the Master CPUR, via the alive monitor on the CPUR card
• put (and hold) the Master CPUR in a reset state
• become the Master CPUR (“system controller”).

NOTE: If a CPUR card is held in a reset state, this is indicated by its status LED.
See 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs.

This redundant system operation is called a switch over. During the switch over, some system
functionality may be interrupted, for example, data transmission via Modbus.

NOTE: The time required for a switch over operation in a redundant system shall not
exceed 1 second.

The CPUR card that failed will be held in the reset state until either the card is replaced, or
the power supply to the rack is turned off and turned on again. If the card that failed is
replaced during normal system operation (that is, with the power supply on), the replacement
CPUR card will become an Inactive CPUR.
If two fully operational CPUR/IOCR card pairs are in a VM600 rack and the external power
supply to the rack is turned off and then turned on, the card pair in the lowest slot number
automatically becomes the Master CPUR (“system controller”). The other card pair becomes
the Inactive CPUR.
If a single, fully operational CPUR/IOCR card pair (Master CPUR) is present in a VM600 rack
and a second fully operational card pair (Inactive CPUR) is inserted in the rack, there will be
no switch over. This remains the system behaviour, even if the second, fully operational, card
pair (Inactive CPUR) is inserted in a lower slot number in the rack.
However, when the rack power supply is turned off and then turned on, the CPUR/IOCR card
pair in the lowest slot number will become the Master CPUR (assuming both card pairs are
both fully functional).

4.5 CPUR card

The CPUR card contains two major components – a MPC8347 PowerPC ® processor from
Freescale and a Spartan FPGA from Xilinx – that work together to act as a system controller
for VM600 racks used in MPS and CMS applications. The card interfaces internally to the
other (signal processing) cards in a VM600 series rack over the VME bus and communicates
externally via its corresponding IOCR card (see 4.6 IOCR card). The CPUR runs the software
for configuring, controlling, monitoring and diagnosing all of the processing cards in a rack.

 CPUR AND IOCR CARD PAIR
CPUR card

The CPUR card is designed to implement CPUR card redundancy and supports the orderly
transition of functions from a Master CPUR to a Inactive CPUR, in the case of a Master CPUR
failure.
With two CPURs in the same VM600 rack, it is possible to maintain a fully functional system
even in the event of a failure of one of the CPUR cards. A sophisticated mechanism is
implemented on the card to report health status to a the redundant CPUR card (Inactive
CPUR) present in the system. This mechanism is used to detect if the active CPUR (Master
CPUR) has failed allowing the backup CPUR to step in as the new system controller card
(see 4.4 Redundant behaviour).
The CPUR/IOCR card pair’s Gigabit Ethernet interface (1000BASE-T compliant) is from the
PowerPC on the CPUR card (see 4.5.1 CPUR block diagram) and routed to the IOCR
(see 4.6.1 IOCR block diagram). The indicator LEDs are brought to the front panel of the
CPUR (see 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs).
256 Mbit of NOR flash memory is used to store all of the firmware and the configuration for
the CPUR card. This is the device that is updated with the new firmware when the CPUR
firmware is changed.
An I2C interface (VME utility bus) is used to implement the redundancy function of the CPUR
card. The I2C interface also incorporates a 4-bit slot identification code from connections to
the VM600 system backplane that identifies the slot in the rack where the card is installed.
The CPUR card supports VME transactions according to the VME A24/D16 standard. This
means that VME signalling is limited to connector J1/P1 (as per standard VME standard
nomenclature). The CPUR card also supports the “hot-swap” functionality specified in the
VME bus standard. (This functionality requires some features to be supported like power
control, position sensing handles, ESD strips, pre-biased I/O, blue LED and LI/I and LI/O
support to the backplane.)
Hardware monitoring of the CPUR card is achieved using a dedicated device that monitors
the power supply rails and device temperatures on the card.

4.6.2 Serial communications

The IOCR card uses a high-speed serial port (16550 UART compatible) to provide the
following serial communications interfaces: RS-232, full-duplex (4-wire) RS-485 and
half-duplex (2-wire) RS-485.
The selection of RS-232, full-duplex or half-duplex RS-485 is configurable by the user in the
Modbus configuration file (see 9 Modbus configuration file and event log files). However,

jumpers are used to manually configure the default signal levels and terminations when the
serial communications interface is used as an RS-485 link (see 7 Configuring a CPUR / IOCR
card pair – hardware configuration).
Only one serial communications interface can be active at a time (there is one high-speed
serial port with different transceivers selected depending on the required interface). All of the
transceivers implement isolated interfaces.

4.6.2.1 RS-232
This IOCR interface uses the high-speed serial port with an isolated RS-232 transceiver. The
transceiver is an ESD protected device specially designed to work in electrically harsh
environments where the cables are frequently being plugged and unplugged.

4.6.2.2 Full-duplex (4-wire) RS-485 and half-duplex (2-wire) RS-485

This IOCR interface uses the high-speed serial port with an isolated RS-485 transceiver. The
transceiver is an ESD protected device specially designed to work in electrically harsh
environments where the cables are frequently being plugged and unplugged.
The following RS-485 interface options are software configurable:
• Selection of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The following RS-485 interface options are hardware configurable:
• Enabling or disabling of 120 Ω termination resistance between RS485_TXA and
RS485_TXB
• Enabling or disabling of 120 Ω termination resistance between RS485_RXA and
RS485_RXB.

4.6.2.3 Multi-drop RS-485 and daisy-chaining serial communications connectors

For a point-to-point connection (link) between a CPUR/IOCR card pair in a VM600 rack using
RS-485, it is only necessary to use the first serial communications connector, J2.
It is only becomes necessary to use the second serial communications connector, J3 when
a multi-drop RS-485 network is used allow multiple devices to communicate on the same
network (link).

4.6.3 Gigabit Ethernet

The IOCR card provides one Gigabit Ethernet interface on a RJ-45 (8P8C) connector (J4).
The Gigabit Ethernet interface can support a distance of up to 60 m at 1000 Mbps. For
distances greater than the specified maximums, the cards operate at reduced data transfer
rates.
The LED indicators that show if the Ethernet interface is active and the speed of the link are
available on the front panel of the CPUR (see 2.2 CPUR rack controller and communications
interface card and 2.2.1.2 Act and link LEDs).

4.6.4 Relays
The IOCR card contains five SPDT relays that under the control of the firmware of the
CPUR/IOCR card pair.

NOTE: Refer to the CPUR/IOCR rack controller and communications interface card pair
data sheet for full technical specifications of the relays.

 CPUR AND IOCR CARD PAIR
Configurations

The common (COM), normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts for each relay
are available on the J1 connector (see 2.3.1 IOCR front panel connectors).
The IOCR provides a terminal strip (J1) to connect the relay outputs to external circuitry. Each
relay can be mapped to any Modbus bit variable. In a typical application, these relays are
used to signal a fault or a problem detected by a common alarm, such as communication
status or rack status.

4.7 Configurations

4.7.1 General concepts

There are two configurations associated with a rack containing a CPUR/IOCR card pair:
• The configuration of the CPUR/IOCR card pair itself.
This requires the use of the VibroSight System Manager software, which communicates
directly with the CPUR/IOCR card pair.
• The configuration of the VM600 rack, that is, the configuration of all of the processing
cards in the rack and the Modbus configuration file used by the CPUR/IOCR card pair.
This requires the use of the VM600 MPSx software and/or VM600 CMS software, which
communicates indirectly with the individual processing cards using the CPUR/IOCR
card pair as a gateway, and the VibroSight System Manager software which uploads the
Modbus configuration file to the CPUR/IOCR card pair.

4.7.2 Configuration of a CPUR/IOCR card pair

This configuration of the CPUR/IOCR card pair consists of:
• The configuration of the IP address settings and the time reference settings.
See 8 Configuring a CPUR / IOCR card pair – configuration and management using
VibroSight System Manager.

4.7.2.1 Configuring IOCR card jumpers

While the CPUR/IOCR card pair is software configurable using the VibroSight
System Manager software, jumpers on the IOCR card are used to manually configure the
default signal levels and terminations when the serial communications interface is used as an
RS-485 link.
See 7 Configuring a CPUR / IOCR card pair – hardware configuration.

4.7.3 Configuration of a VM600 rack

This configuration of the VM600 rack consists of:
• The Modbus (text-based) configuration file for the CPUR/IOCR card pairs.
See 9 Modbus configuration file and event log files.
• The configuration data for all of the processing cards.

NOTE: If a VM600 rack contains a CPUR/IOCR card pair, then the CPUR/IOCR (“system
controller”) is the “master” of the rack’s configuration.

In practice, this means that the user must use the appropriate software from the Meggitt
Vibro-Meter ® product line (VM600 MPSx and/or VM600 CMS) to upload configurations to the
processing cards in the normal way, that is, on a per card or per rack basis.

Document reference MACPUR/E MANUAL

Edition 2 - September 2019 VM600 CPUR and IOCR rack controller
4-9
CPUR AND IOCR CARD PAIR
Configurations

While acting as a gateway between the software and the signal processing cards, the
CPUR/IOCR card pair will store copies of these configurations as they “pass through” it.

NOTE: The CPUR/IOCR card pair can never download a configuration from a processing
card (as it would then not be the “master” of the rack’s configuration).

The user should be aware of the following

Individual channel bypass
When a machinery protection card configuration is uploaded to the card
(MPC4) from the VM600 MPSx software, the individual channel bypass is
automatically reset for all channels – which may cause a machine trip.
Therefore, any individual channel bypass required should be maintained
throughout a card configuration process.
When a machinery protection card (MPC4) is being reconfigured, the
machinery monitoring functions at the card level are stopped, that is, there
is no protection function until the configuration procedure has stopped and
the new configuration (with its machinery protection function) starts. After
the configuration is started, the channels are not bypassed, by default.
For these reasons, the configuration of a card using the VM600 MPSx
software is considered a critical maintenance operation and should
therefore be performed exclusively when the machinery being monitored is
stopped.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that the upload of a new configuration to a machinery

protection card (MPC4) is performed under the supervision of the master DCS or
ESD system, in order to avoid compromising overall safety.

4.7.3.1 Non-redundant system

Consider the case of a rack with a single CPUR/IOCR card pair (Master CPUR). When the
VM600 MPSx software and/or VM600 CMS software is used to configure the processing
cards via the CPUR/IOCR gateway, the Master CPUR stores a copy of the configuration for
each processing card (in a particular slot).
Therefore, it is possible for the Master CPUR to upload the configuration of a processing
cards from its stored copy of the configuration. This happens automatically in two situations:
• At any time, when a card is replaced (“hot-swapped”) in a rack (if the slot and card type
of the replacement card match).
• When the power supply to the rack is turn on and the Master CPUR compares the
configuration of all cards in a rack with its “master” copies, as a power-on self-test.
If there are any inconsistencies then the “master” configuration held by the Master CPUR
are used to reconfigure any affected cards. If the Master CPUR configuration and the
processing card configuration are consistent, then no action is taken. If the Master CPUR
does not hold a valid configuration for one or more of the processing cards then it shall
indicate an error through its front panel LEDs (see 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs). This
error can also be communicated to any external DCS/PCS.

4.7.3.2 Redundant system

A redundant system includes the following behaviour, in addition to the behaviour already
described in 4.7.3.1 Non-redundant system.

NOTE: The primary objective of having two CPUR/IOCR card pairs installed in a rack is
to have redundancy in respect to the automatic configuration of the card pairs in
the rack and in respect to communication with third party devices (such as a
DCS/PCS).
Therefore, it is essential that both card pairs have an identical configuration. In
order to achieve this, the card pairs synchronise their configuration using the rules
defined below.

Consider the case of a rack with two CPUR/IOCR card pairs (Master CPUR and Inactive
CPUR). When the VM600 MPSx software and/or VM600 CMS software is used to configure
the processing cards via a CPUR/IOCR card pair, either the Master CPUR or the Inactive
CPUR can be used. Whichever CPUR/IOCR gateway receives the configuration data
(Master CPUR or Inactive CPUR), stores a copy of the data (for a particular slot) and then
automatically copies the information to the other CPUR/IOCR card pair in the rack.
Similarly, when the VibroSight System Manager software is used to upload a new Modbus
configuration file to a CPUR/IOCR card pair, either the Master CPUR or the Inactive CPUR
can be used. Whichever CPUR/IOCR card pair receives the configuration data (Master
CPUR or Inactive CPUR), stores a copy of the data and then automatically copies the
information to the other CPUR/IOCR card pair in the rack.

NOTE: When new configuration information is uploaded to the cards in a VM600 rack with
redundant CPUR/IOCR card pairs, the Master CPUR (or Inactive CPUR) will
automatically copy the configuration to the Inactive CPUR (or Master CPUR). This
applies to both the configuration information for the processing cards in the rack
and to Modbus configuration file for the CPUR/IOCR card pairs in the rack.

In this way, the configuration held on a Master CPUR and an Inactive CPUR will always be
the same (see 4.4.1 Data mirroring).

 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Introduction

5 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

5.1 Introduction
The CPUR and IOCR card pair can be installed in a 19" x 6U rack (2.1 Racks). This rack has
21 VME slots, designated slots 0 to 20 (from left to right, as seen from the front of the rack).
The front and rear card cages of a rack are partitioned by a back plane. Each side of the back
plane is equipped with connectors allowing modules and cards to be quickly and easily
installed.

Depending on the intended use of the rack (MPS, CMS or combined), it can contain the
following elements, connected to the back plane by installing them from the front of the rack:
• CPUR redundant CPU card (or CPUM modular CPU card)
• AMC8 analog monitoring card
• CMC16 condition monitoring card
• MPC4 machinery protection card
• RPS6U mains power supply unit (ABE04x only).
The following elements are connected to the back plane by installing them from the rear of
the rack:
• IOCR input/output card, for use with a matching CPUR (or IOCN input/output for use
with a matching CPUM)
• IOC8T input/output card, for use with a matching AMC8
• IOC16T input/output card, for use with a matching CMC16
• IOC4T input/output card, for use with a matching MPC4
• IRC4 intelligent relay card and RLC16 relay card.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
details and explanations of VM600 cards other than the CPUR and IOCR.

A condition monitoring system (CMS) using the VibroSight ® software from the Meggitt
Vibro-Meter ® product line can use the following hardware:
• XMC16 extended monitoring card for combustion
• XMV16 extended monitoring card for vibration
• XIO16T extended input/output card, for use with a matching XMC16 or XMV16.

NOTE: VibroSight ® compatible signal processing cards (such as XMV16/XIO16T and

XMV16/XIO16T card pairs) can coexist with other cards in a VM600 rack.
However, the VibroSight ® compatible signal processing cards do not utilise the
VME bus, so they exist independently of any system controller (CPUR/IOCR or
CPUM/IOCN) in a VM600 rack.

An AMC8 card must have an IOC8T card installed directly behind it in the rack.
A CMC16 card must have an IOC16T card installed directly behind it in the rack.
An XMC16, XMV16 or XMVS16 card must have an XIO16T card installed directly behind it in the rack.
One or two RPS6U rack power supplies can be installed in a VM600 system rack. A rack can have two RPS6U
rack power supplies installed for different reasons: in order to support rack power supply redundancy or in order
to supply power to the cards (refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual).

5.3 Rack safety requirements

5.3.1 Adequate ventilation

VM600 19" racks do not contain any ventilation units (fans). They therefore rely on either
forced ventilation by fans in the cabinet or on natural ventilation (convection) for their cooling.
All require the free flow of air in an upward direction, with air entering the rack through the
vents in the base of the rack and leaving it through the vents on the top of the rack.
When racks are installed in a cabinet or enclosure in which natural ventilation is used, a
space of at least 50 mm should be present below and above each rack for an ABE04x rack
(see Figure 5-1, Case A).
It is possible to prevent warm air flowing from one rack to another, by placing inclined plates
between them in order to deflect the airflow (see Figure 5-1, Case A). When inclined plates
are used with VM600 racks, an inclined plate can also function as a non-flammable

 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Rack safety requirements

separation barrier, if required (see 5.3.4 Instructions for locating and mounting). In addition,
the space of 50 mm or 20 mm should be present below and above each rack.

Always ensure adequate spacing (minimum 50 mm for ABE04x racks) is

provided below and above the rack to allow proper natural ventilation.
Failure to adhere to this requirement will cause overheating of the rack and
as a consequence will affect the correct operation of the system.

If an ABE04x rack is assembled without empty slots between the MPS and/or CMS
processing cards, it is recommended to use forced ventilation if the temperature of the air
flowing through the rack exceeds 40°C. If a 19” x 6U rack has at least one empty slot between
each processing card, it is recommended to use forced ventilation if the temperature of the
air flowing through the rack exceeds 55°C.
In a case where forced ventilation by fan units is used, the spacing above, below and between
racks can be reduced to zero, providing that the airflow to/from neighbouring racks is
ensured.

HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURES CAN EXIST WITHIN AND ON VM600 SYSTEM

RACKS (ABE04X).

DEPENDING ON THE AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, NUMBER OF CARDS AND

POWER SUPPLIES INSTALLED (AND THEIR CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION), THE
INSTALLATION AND COOLING (FORCED OR NATURAL VENTILATION), THE TOP OF A
VM600 RACK CAN BECOME HOT AND THERE IS THE RISK OF BURNING WHEN HANDLING
THE RACK.

 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Rack safety requirements

5.3.2 Circuit breaker

In some circumstances the operator must ensure a switch or circuit breaker is provided in
order to comply with the IEC/EN 61010-1 standard. This standard stipulates that permanently
connected equipment (such as a VM600 ABE04x rack) must employ a switch or circuit
breaker as a means of disconnection from the mains supply.
VM600 ABE04x racks employing an AC-input version of the RPS6U rack power supply
already have an ON/OFF switch or switches (and a fuse or fuses) at the rear of the rack.
However, this is not the case for the DC-input versions of the RPS6U rack power supply, so
an appropriately rated external circuit breaker or equivalent must be used.
For a VM600 rack using a DC-input version of the RPS6U rack power
supply, the mains power supply lead (power cord) linking the VM600 rack
to the mains supply must pass through an external switch or circuit
breaker.
The operator must have easy access to the switch or circuit breaker at all
times.
Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual
for further information.

5.3.3 Supply wiring

A VM600 rack using the AC-input version of the RPS6U rack power supply is supplied with a
mains power supply lead (power cord). Power supply rear panels with two AC inputs for
independent mains supplies are supplied with two mains cables. However, no lead (cable) is
supplied with a VM600 rack using the DC-input version of the RPS6U.

NOTE: Refer to the RPS6U rack power supply data sheet and VM600 system rack
(ABE04x) data sheet for further information on the mains power supply lead (power
cord) supplied with a VM600 rack.

In general, for a VM600 rack, the mains power supply lead (power cord)
used must be of sufficient cross-section to meet the power requirements of
the connected equipment.
Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual
for further information.

5.3.4 Instructions for locating and mounting

A POPULATED VM600 SYSTEM RACK WITH CARDS AND RACK POWER SUPPLIES
INSTALLED IS A HEAVY OBJECT.

DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF VM600 CARDS AND RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLIES
INSTALLED, A VM600 SYSTEM RACK (ABE04x) CAN BE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT, LOWER
OR OTHERWISE HANDLE MANUALLY BY A SINGLE PERSON AND THERE IS THE RISK OF
INJURY DURING INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL.

VM600 RACK CAN BECOME HOT AND THERE IS THE RISK OF BURNING HANDLING THE
RACK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON THE
EQUIPMENT:

SEE ALSO HOT SURFACES AND THE RISK OF BURNING ON PAGE XVII.

Operating personnel should remember to observe the handling

precautions mentioned in Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive
devices on page xviii when handling cards.
Failure to do this may result in cards becoming damaged by electrostatic
discharges.

Before inserting a card in the rack, check visually that none of the
connector pins are bent.

5.4.1 First-time installation of the VM600 rack

The initial insertion of elements in the ABE04x rack should be done with the
rack powered down.

When a VM600 rack is installed for the first time, the card pairs (and individual cards such as
relay cards) within it must be configured according to their intended application.
The CPUR/IOCR card pair is software configurable. However, jumpers are used to manually
configure the default signal levels and terminations when the serial communications interface
is used as an RS-485 link (see 7 Configuring a CPUR / IOCR card pair –
hardware configuration).

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
details and explanations of VM600 cards other than the CPUR and IOCR.

MANUAL Document reference MACPUR/E

VM600 CPUR and IOCR rack controller Edition 2 - September 2019

 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Installation procedure for cards

Note, however, that the configuration of individual channels on the signal processing cards
(such as the AMC8, CMC16 and MPC4) must be done by software before the system can be
used. This is done using the appropriate software such as the VibroSight ®, VM600 MPSx
and/or VM600 CMS software, once the rack is powered up.
For a rack containing a CPUR/IOCR card pair (or a CPUM card and, optionally, its matching
IOC N card), the configuration for all of the VM600 cards can be downloaded over an Ethernet
link.
However, for a stand-alone rack, containing AMC8 and MPC4 cards, the configuration can
be downloaded from a computer to each card in turn via an RS-232 link. While for a
stand-alone rack, containing CMC16 cards, the configuration can be downloaded from a
computer to the cards via an RS-485 multi-drop link that connects all of the IOC16T cards
together in a “daisy-chain”.
The majority of the system parameters will normally have been configured in the factory
before delivery of the MPS or CMS. The user is nevertheless able to modify certain
parameters if required, using the appropriate software such as the VibroSight ®,
VM600 MPSx and/or VM600 CMS software.

NOTE: Refer to the relevant software manual for further information.

5.4.2 Subsequent installation of cards ("hot-swapping”)

5.4.2.1 Which card types can be hot-swapped?

The CPUR/IOCR card pair has “hot-swapping” capability, that is, it can be removed fromand
inserted into the MPS rack while the electrical power supply to the rack is turned on (a
technique also known as “live insertion”).

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual for
details and explanations of VM600 cards other than the CPUR and IOCR.

The CPUR has no configurable hardware elements, but its software configuration is stored in
an on-board non-volatile memory. When a new configuration is uploaded to a CPUR card
(Master CPUR or Inactive CPUR) in a redundant system, the configuration is automatically
copied to the other CPUR card (Inactive CPUR or Master CPUR).
For the IOCR, the adjustable hardware elements (jumpers to configure the default signal
levels and terminations for an RS-485 link) should be set up appropriately by the user on any
new card put into a given slot.

Installation procedure for cards

5.4.2.1.1 Cards in a networked rack

NOTE: The following remarks concern networked racks, that is, a VM600 rack (ABE04x)
with a CPUx rack controller and communications interface card.

In a networked rack, if a processing card originally used in slot mm is inserted in slot nn, the
CPUxrecognises that the card’s configuration does not match the slot. It will then download
into the new card’s flash memory the appropriate configuration for slot nn.
.

Problems can occur if a card taken from slot nn of rack x is inserted into
slot nn of rack y, as slot nn may be used for totally different functions in
each rack.
This form of “hot-swapping” should be avoided unless you are certain that
the cards in slot nn of each rack have exactly the same configuration.
More generally, if you do not know how a card is configured, you should not
install it before finding its configuration as discussed in the
VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual.

5.4.3 Setting the IP Address of the CPUR card

The IP address of the CPUR must be defined for racks employing this type of card
(see 8.4.2 Configuring IP settings).
Refer to the VM600 networking manual for general information on networking.

 CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Introduction

8 CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR –

CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT USING
VIBROSIGHT SYSTEM MANAGER

8.1 Introduction
This section of the manual introduces the VibroSight System Manager software from the
Meggitt Vibro-Meter ® product line, that is used with the CPUR and IOCR.
The VibroSight ® software uses a client-server architecture to distribute the functional
requirements of the system across several software modules and VibroSight
System Manager provides the tools to manage the system hardware and firmware.
VibroSight System Manager is used to configure and manage CPUR/IOCR card pairs. For
example, to configure IP address and time reference settings, upload Modbus configurations,
and to manage firmware versions and diagnostics information.

8.2 CPUR/IOCR card pair configurations

CPUR cards are typically supplied pre-configured with the configuration specified at the time
of ordering using the ordering number (PNR) and particular option code.

NOTE: A VM600 rack is usually fully configured in the factory before delivery so that it can
be employed as is. If no other configuration is specified, a CPUR card/rack is
supplied configured as described in 8.2.1 Standard configurations.
For information on other configuration possibilities, including customer-specific
configurations, contact your Meggitt representative or Meggitt SA.

8.2.1 Standard configurations

If no other configuration is specified and agreed, a CPUR card is supplied as follows:
• Default IP settings: IP address of 10.10.56.56 and subnet mask of 0xFFFF0000
(255.255.0.0) for the network interface (ETHERNET).
• Default time reference: Manual time reference is being used (internal CPUR clock).
• Default configuration: No Modbus configuration and no configurations for any other cards
in the VM600 rack.
Contact your Meggitt representative, Meggitt SA or Meggitt customer support for information
on other configuration possibilities such a standard register mapping for MPC4 and AMC8
cards in slots 3 to 14 of the VM600 rack.

8.2.2 Customer-specific configurations

When specified as part of a complete VM600 rack/system, a CPUR card can be supplied with
a customer-specific configuration that corresponds to the system agreed with Meggitt SA.
In such cases, the VM600 rack and cards are typically pre-loaded with the customer-specific
configuration before shipping.

CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Installing VibroSight System Manager

8.2.3 Changing configurations

The VibroSight System Manager software is used to download a configuration from a CPUR
card or upload a configuration to a CPUR card (see 8.4.4 Configuring Modbus).
Accordingly, this allows the configuration running on a CPUR card to be modified as required.
For example, by downloading, modifying and then uploading the configuration or by
uploading a new different configuration.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to use the VibroSight System Manager software to

make a backup copy of the configuration running on a CPUR card.

NOTE: A backup copy of the configuration running on a CPUR card is especially important
if you are going to make changes to the supplied configuration yourself, as you can
revert to the backup copy if you experience problems.

NOTE: If required, an archive copy of the configuration pre-loaded on a CPUR card before
shipping can be obtained from Meggitt SA by contacting Meggitt customer support
department with customer-specific information such as the Meggitt SA order
number, customer order number and/or ordering number (PNR) and particular
option code for the CPUM card. See 12.1 Contacting us.

8.2.4 Before using a CPUR/IOCR card pair

Before using a CPUR/IOCR card pair, it is strongly recommended that a time reference is
configured for each CPUR card in a system so that the events recorded in its log files (system
event logs and measurement event logs) have an accurate timestamp and can be analysed
more easily.

See 8.4.3 Configuring a time reference or refer to the NTP topics in the VibroSight help
for more information (search for “NTP” in the help).

8.3 Installing VibroSight System Manager

See 6.1.1.1 Installing VibroSight System Manager.

8.4 Starting VibroSight System Manager

Start the VibroSight System Manager software module in one of the following ways:
• Click Start > All Programs > Meggitt > VibroSight > System Manager.

• Double-click the VibroSight shortcut installed on your desktop as part of the

installation process to start the VibroSight Welcome Centre, then click the
System Manager.

NOTE: If a VibroSight ® software licensing window appears, click the Continue

Evaluation button to start using VibroSight ®. Contact Meggitt SA for information
concerning licences.

The software starts and the System Manager window appears. By default, VibroSight
System Manager starts with VibroSight Hosts (left) as the default view in the System Explorer
window.

 CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Starting VibroSight System Manager

8.4.1 Viewing CPUR and IOCR cards

When the VibroSight Hosts view is shown, you can change to the Devices view by clicking
on the Devices button (below the Hosts tree structure.
1- Click the Devices button below the VibroSight Hosts tree structure to see the Devices
view.
The Devices tree structure is a hierarchical representation of the all of the VM600 related
hardware (cards) that System Manager can see on the network.
In the Devices view, the following elements are displayed:

Cards
A node that acts as a collection point for all of the individual cards of a particular type (for
example, CPUx, XMC16 or XMV16) that System Manager can see.

Individual card
A node that allows each card to be viewed in isolation. This is useful when a particular card
must be selected for an operation, such as configuring an IP address.

2- Double-click on the CPUR cards node to view all of the CPUR cards that can be
seen on the network.
The VM600 cards that are available on the network are listed in a
serial number (IP address) format, for example, xxxxxxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

NOTE: A device’s IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) can be changed to meet the

requirements of a network but the device can always be uniquely identified by its
serial number (xxxxxxx), which is assigned by Meggitt SA and cannot be
changed.

8.4.1.1 Checking communications with a CPUR card

To check that the device is connected to your subnet, type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx at a
Windows command prompt and then press ENTER (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is replaced
by the actual IP address of the device, in dot-decimal notation, as displayed by VibroSight
System Manager).
If the device replies, it is ready to communicate in your subnet. If the device does not reply,
this is probably because its IP address does not belong to the correct subnet, in which case
it must be changed.

NOTE: VibroSight System Manager displays all of the VibroSight-compatible hardware

(devices) that the computer can see on the network.
Although a device does not need to be in the same subnet as the computer running
VibroSight in order to be detected and displayed by VibroSight System Manager,
a device does need to be in the same subnet as the computer running VibroSight
for a deployed VibroSight system. For example:

Starting VibroSight System Manager

Refer to the Configuring IP Settings topic in the VibroSight help for more information
(search for “Configuring IP Settings” in the help).

8.4.2 Configuring IP settings

You can configure the IP settings of a Vibro-Meter ® card using the Configuration tools in
VibroSight System Manager.
In order to communicate with a card, it has to be in the correct subnet. If the predefined IP
address of the card does not belong to the same subnet as the computer running
VibroSight ®, you will need to change it.
The IP address of a card can be changed using either:
• static IP addresses (manually)
• a DHCP server (automatically).
A DHCP server will usually assign IP addresses that are automatically in the correct subnet
for a network. However, static IP addressees should be assigned carefully, with consideration
for the subnet.
See also 8.4.1.1 Checking communications with a CPUR card.

8.4.2.1 Configuring IP settings using static IP addresses

To change the IP address of a CPUR card using static IP addresses requires that you
manually assign a unique IP address (on your network) to the card.
In order to communicate with your card, it has to be in the correct subnet. If the predefined IP
address of your card does not belong to your subnet, you will need to change it according to
your network settings.
To configure the IP address of a CPUR card:
1- In VibroSight System Manager, select the card from the Devices view of the System
Explorer.

NOTE: Normally, you should identify the card by its serial number (for example, xxxxxxx)
as the IP address can be easily changed.

The Actions area of the System Manager will show the operations that are available for
the card you have selected. If you cannot see the Actions area, click View > Actions.

2- Click IP Settings in the Configuration group in the Actions area.

The IP Settings window appears.
3- Ensure the Use static IP option is selected, then enter the new IP address and subnet
mask (and Default gateway, if used), in dot-decimal notation, for the card. Click Finish.
The System Explorer will automatically update to show the new IP configuration
information in the Devices view. However, this does not necessarily mean that the card
is accessible in your subnet.
4- To test if the card is accessible, at a Windows command prompt, type
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is replaced with the new IP
address just configured).
If the card replies, this means it is in the same subnet as your computer and that it is
ready to be used.

 CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Starting VibroSight System Manager

The fact that the device (card or module) appears in the Devices tree structure of the System
Explorer does not mean that the card is in your subnet, as zeroconf (the network discovery
protocols implemented in VibroSight ® ) can find cards all over a network. To be able to
communicate with the device, configure an IP address belonging to the same subnet as the
computer used for this communication.

8.4.2.2 Configuring IP settings using DHCP

To change the IP address of a card using DHCP requires that a DHCP server exists on the
same network as the VibroSight ® system.
A DHCP server assigns IP addresses to all of the computers on a network, recording the IP
addresses used to ensure that there are no conflicts. This helps to reduce the administrative
effort required and eliminates the possibility of human error.

NOTE: Contact your IT department or network administrator for information on whether a

DHCP server is available on your network.

To configure the IP address of a CPUR card using DHCP:

1- In VibroSight System Manager, select the card from the Devices view of the System
Explorer.

NOTE: Normally, you should identify the card by its serial number (for example, xxxxxxx)
as the IP address can be easily changed.

The Actions area of the System Manager will show the operations that are available for
the card you have selected. If you cannot see the Actions area, click View > Actions.

2- Click IP Settings in the Standard group in the actions area.

The IP Settings window appears.
3- Select the Use DHCP server option. Click Finish.
The card will communicate with the DHCP server in the background and unique IP
address for the card pair will automatically be assigned.
The System Explorer view will automatically update to show the new IP configuration
information in the Devices structure view. The card should now be accessible in your
subnet.
4- To test if the card is accessible, at a Windows command prompt, type
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is replaced with the new IP
address just assigned).
If the card replies, this means it is in the same subnet as your computer and that it is
ready to be used.

8.4.3 Configuring a time reference

A time reference should be set for a CPUR/IOCR card pair so that the events recorded in its
log files have an accurate timestamp. This impacts system event logs and measurement
event logs, both of which are accessible from System Manager (see 8.4.7.2 Saving data
logs).
If a time reference is not configured, the events logged by a CPUR/IOCR card pair can not
be analysed in time.

CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Starting VibroSight System Manager

NOTE: The CPUR/IOCR card pair uses coordinated universal time (UTC).
For a system using multiple CPUR/IOCR card pairs, it is recommended that the
either the NTP Server or Local PC Clock options are used for the time reference
selection. This allows events logged by different CPUR/IOCR card pairs to be
more accurately compared.
Using an NTP server, when available, ensures the most accurate time keeping
across multiple cards.

You can configure the time reference settings of a CPUR/IOCR card pair using the
Configuration tools in VibroSight System Manager.
A CPUR and IOCR card pair can use any of the following as a time reference:
• an NTP server
• a clock internal to the CPUR
• a host computer clock.
It is the application requirements and infrastructure that dictate the best solution. For
example, an NTP server may already be available for the VM600 system.

To configure the time reference settings of a CPUR card:

1- In VibroSight System Manager, select the card from the Devices view of the System
Explorer.

NOTE: Normally, you should identify the card by its serial number (for example, xxxxxxx)
as the IP address can be easily changed.

The Actions area of the System Manager will show the operations that are available for
the card you have selected. If you cannot see the Actions area, click View > Actions.

2- Click Time Reference in the Configuration group in the Actions area.

The Time Reference window appears.

NOTE: In the Time Reference window, the Current time on device displays the actual
time (local and UTC) being used by the CPUR/IOCR card pair.

3- Select Synchronised with NTP Server, Manual or Local PC clock as appropriate.

If an NTP server is being used, enter the IP address, in dot-decimal notation, of the NTP
server available on your network.
If a manual time reference is being used (that is, the internal CPUR clock), enter the
required time and date to be used using the controls.
If the local PC clock is being used, then the time reported by the host computer running
the System Manager software) will automatically be used.
4- Click Finish.
The CPUR card will be updated and start using the selected time reference.

NOTE: When the time reference for a CPUR card is changed, the new time reference is
used immediately. It is not necessary to turn the power to the card off and on.

 CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Starting VibroSight System Manager

NOTE: In a redundant system, the two CPUR/IOCR card pairs will ensure that their time
references are synchronised at all times.
For example, if the user changes the time reference settings on one CPUR/IOCR
card pair, the settings shall immediately be changed on the other CPUR/IOCR
card pair (so that the time difference between the two card pairs is always less than
one second).

8.4.4 Configuring Modbus

You can configure the Modbus settings of a VM600 card using the Configuration tools in
VibroSight System Manager.
Configuring Modbus involves sending a configuration file from a host computer to the CPUR
card. During the upload of the configuration file (modbusDefault.cfg) to the card, the file
is parsed to ensure it is valid (correct) before being accepted by the CPUR card.
See 9.5 Modbus configuration file for further information on the contents of the Modbus
configuration file.

To upload (configure) the Modbus settings of a CPUR card:

1- In VibroSight System Manager, select the card from the Devices view of the System
Explorer.

NOTE: Normally, you should identify the card by its serial number (for example, xxxxxxx)
as the IP address can be easily changed.

The Actions area of the System Manager will show the operations that are available for
the card you have selected. If you cannot see the Actions area, click View > Actions.

2- Click Send Modbus Configuration in the Configuration group in the Actions area.
The Send Modbus Configuration dialog box appears. Use the dialog box to specify the
location and of the modbusDefault.cfg configuration file. Click Execute.
A progress window appears to provide feedback on the steps of the configure Modbus
operation. (The amount of time required to configure Modbus is typically seconds). The
configuration is complete when the progress indicators have stopped and the dialog box
reports “Configuration completed”. Click Finish to close the dialog box.

NOTE: When a new Modbus configuration file is uploaded to a CPUR card, the new
configuration takes effect immediately (if it parses correctly). It is not necessary to
turn the power to the card off and on.

NOTE: In a redundant system, the two CPUR/IOCR card pairs will ensure that their
Modbus configuration files are the same at all times.
When a new Modbus configuration file is uploaded to one CPUR/IOCR card pair
(Master CPUR or Inactive CPUR), the CRC of the Modbus configuration file on the
other CPUR/IOCR card pair (Inactive CPUR or Master CPUR) is checked. If it is
different, the new Modbus configuration file is copied to the CPUR card.

8.4.5 Checking the firmware versions running on a card

You can check the firmware versions running on a VM600 card using the Maintenance tools
in VibroSight System Manager.
Checking the firmware versions running on a card can help to decide if you need to update
the firmware.

NOTE: Each VM600 card contains two types of firmware that can changed by the user:
base system firmware and applications firmware.

To check the firmware versions of a CPUR card:

1- In VibroSight System Manager, select the card from the Devices view of the System
Explorer.

NOTE: Normally, you should identify the card by its serial number (for example, xxxxxxx)

 CONFIGURING A CPUR / IOCR CARD PAIR – CONFIGURATION AND
Starting VibroSight System Manager

You should only change (update) the firmware running on your cards when instructed to do
so by Meggitt SA. You should only use firmware that has been released by Meggitt SA.

NOTE: Each VM600 card contains two types of firmware that can changed by the user:
base system firmware and applications firmware. These can be updated
independently or at the same time.

NOTE: For a redundant system, only one CPUR card should be installed in the VM600
rack and have its firmware changed at any one time. During an upgrade procedure,
the “other” CPUR card should be removed to ensure it is not turned on.
The order in which the CPUR cards have the firmware changed is not important:
Master CPUR followed by Inactive CPUR, or Inactive CPUR followed by
Master CPUR.

Never do any of the following while upgrading a CPUR card’s firmware:

• Turn the power supply to the rack off and on.
• Disconnect the card from the network.
• Remove a CPUR card from the rack during the firmware change
process. Always wait until the firmware change has been confirmed as
successful (5 to 10 minutes).

To change the firmware versions of a CPUR card:

1- In VibroSight System Manager, select the card from the Devices view of the System
Explorer.

NOTE: Normally, you should identify the card by its serial number (for example, xxxxxxx)
as the IP address can be easily changed.

The Actions area of the System Manager will show the operations that are available for
the card you have selected. If you cannot see the Actions area, click View > Actions.

2- Click Change Firmware in the Maintenance group in the actions area.

The Change Firmware window appears, listing the current version information for the card in
the Firmware Status area. It might be necessary to scroll down to see the base system and
applications firmware versions.
3- Click Add and use the dialog box that appears to navigate the folders on your computer
and select the firmware file or files obtained from Meggitt SA. Click Open.
The .tgz file is added to the list of firmware updates in the Firmware Files area of the
Change Firmware window.

NOTE: The default firmware file directory for VM600 CPUR cards is:
C:\Program Files\Meggitt\VibroSight\Firmware\VM600\CPUR

The default location for the Windows program files folder depends on the operating
system installed on the computer:
• C:\Program Files is used for 64-bit programs and applications.
• C:\Program Files (x86) is used for 32-bit programs and applications.
As a result, all references to the program files folder may need to be adapted by
removing or adding (x86) as required.

NOTE: Firmware files provided by Meggitt SA can be identified by their .tgz file name
extension. (A .tgz file is a compressed archive file format.)

4- If there are multiple firmware upgrades, for example, both Base System and
Applications, repeat step 3 to add the second .tgz file.
5- Click Finish to start the firmware upgrade process.
The card will disappear from the Devices view of the System Explorer for the duration of
the firmware upgrade process. When the firmware upgrade is complete, the card will
appear again.

NOTE: The upgrade should require less than 5 minutes.

The success of the change firmware operation can be verified using 8.4.5 Checking the
firmware versions running on a card.

NOTE: For a redundant system, after the firmware for both CPUR cards has been
changed (one card at a time), either insert both CPURs into the rack at the same
time or turn the power supply to the rack off and on to ensure that the CPUR on the
left (lower slot number) becomes the Master CPUR.

8.4.7 Diagnostics and data logs

System Manager also provides diagnostic information for the management and continuous
improvement of VM600 hardware, using log files that are continuously generated by the
VM600 cards:
• Diagnostic logs are files that primarily contain information at card level. These lower-level
files can be identified by their .tgz file name extension. (A .tgz file is a compressed
archive file format.)

NOTE: VibroSight ® software diagnostic log files contain diagnostic information about
the cards and software that can be useful to Meggitt customer support when
investigating certain issues, for example, evaluating system behaviour and
troubleshooting problems.

• Data logs files that primarily contain information at system level. These higher-level files
can be identified by their .log file name extension. (A .log file is a text file format.) Two
types of data log files are available:
• System events refer to the CMS/MPS itself and concerns the operating conditions
experienced by the monitoring system that do not necessarily imply a problem at the
machine level. Examples, include running out of disk storage space or problems with
time references.
• Measurement events refer to the criticality of operating conditions experienced at
the machine level. For example, when the vibration level of trend data (of an
extracted data entity) rises beyond a given level, the integrity of the machine can be
endangered.

You can download the diagnostic information from VM600 cards using the Diagnostics
tools in VibroSight System Manager.

Introduction

9 MODBUS CONFIGURATION FILE AND EVENT

LOG FILES

9.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the implementation of the Modbus software interface for VM600 racks
as used by CPUR/IOCR card pairs.
In the client-server model of Modbus communication, the CPUR implements a Modbus
server that responds to external transaction requests from client equipment, such as a
computer or DCS. Both the Modbus RTU protocol (serial communication interface) and the
Modbus TCP protocol (Ethernet interface) are supported by the CPUR.

NOTE: Refer to the VM600 networking manual for background information on Modbus
(chapters 5 and 6), and MPC4 register definitions (Appendix A) and AMC8 register
definitions (Appendix B).
The information given in this chapter is in addition to the information on Modbus
already given in the VM600 networking manual.

The CPUR card’s Modbus software interface provides a Modbus server for a VM600 rack that
features customizable configuration and a robust way to access any measurement data
delivered by the following processing cards:
• AMC8
• CMC16
• MPC4.
For the CPUR/IOCR card pair, the Modbus RTU protocol is implemented for the serial
communications interface (RS-232 and RS-485) and the Modbus TCP protocol is
implemented for the Ethernet interface.
The transmitted data consists of real-time values (vibration level, pressure and so on), status
and configuration information (such as alarms). This data can be used by any external system
(such as a computer or DCS) for the purposes of machinery monitoring.

9.2 CPUR/IOCR card pair configurations

See 8.2 CPUR/IOCR card pair configurations.

9.3 Features of the Modbus server on a CPUR/IOCR card pair

• The CPUR implements a Modbus server (slave) that responds to external transaction
requests from a Modbus client (master), such as a DCS.
• The Modbus server services all Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP requests.
• The Modbus server starts when the CPUR card starts.
• When the Modbus server starts, it reads the current Modbus configuration.
• The Modbus configuration file is parsed, including an error check, by the CPUR.
• The Modbus server is always ready to receive a new Modbus configuration (for example,
uploaded by VibroSight System Manager).

MODBUS CONFIGURATION FILE AND EVENT LOG FILES
Functions of the Modbus server on a CPUR/IOCR card pair

• When the Modbus client tries to execute function codes that are not implemented by the
CPUR’s Modbus server, an illegal function error exception response shall be generated
(exception code “01”).
• When the Modbus client tries to read a value (Modbus function codes 03 and 04) or bit
(Modbus function codes 01 and 02) which is not configured by the CPUR’s Modbus
configuration, an illegal data address error exception response shall be generated
(exception code “02”).
• When the Modbus client tries to write a value (Modbus function code 10) or bit (Modbus
function code 05) which is not configured by the CPUR’s Modbus configuration, an illegal
data address error exception response shall be generated (exception code “02”).
• If configured, Values can be scaled and converted to a 16 bit unsigned format by the
Modbus server.
• If configured, Alarm+, Alarm−, Alert +, Alert−, Danger+ and Danger− levels are readable
as a float from the Modbus server.
• If configured, bits (coils) shall be calculated (using bit operation) from existing bits (coils)
by the Modbus server. The supported bitwise operations are NOT, AND, OR and XOR.

9.4 Functions of the Modbus server on a CPUR/IOCR card pair

The CPUR/IOCR card pair’s Modbus server includes the following functionality:
• Enable/disable the danger bypass (DB) function on the MPC4 and AMC8 processing
cards on a per channel basis.
• Reset all latched alarms (AR) currently active on a processing card on a per slot basis.
• Compute and report the time capacity and the non-volatile memory usage of the
measurement values log, according to the Modbus configuration file.
• Provide the possibility to switch the time synchronization of a CPUR card between NTP
and manual modes. (The default option shall be NTP).
In manual mode the Modbus server shall provide the possibility to set the time of a CPUR
card by writing a timestamp to the Modbus server.

9.5 Modbus configuration file

The CPUR card’s Modbus server is configurable using a single file that is stored on the
CPUR. The Modbus configuration file is called modbusDefault.cfg. It is a user
configurable file (text-based) and uploaded to a CPUR/IOCR card pair using VibroSight
System Manager (see 8.4.4 Configuring Modbus).
As shown in Figure 9-1, the communication parameters are defined in the top sections of this
configuration file, labelled [RTU1] and [TCP].

9.5.1 The RTUx section

Using the example Modbus configuration in Figure 9-1, it can be seen that both Modbus RTU
[RTU1] and Modbus TCP [TCP] communications have been enabled, with half-duplex
RS-485 (RS485HD) being used for the serial communications. Full-duplex RS-485
(RS485FD) or RS-232 (RS232) are also supported can could have been configured.
The serial communications port defined here for RTU1 is accessed on the main serial
communications connector, J2, of the IOCR card. If a multidrop (daisy-chained) serial
communication network of CPUR and IOCR card pairs is being used, the second serial
communications connector, J3, of the IOCR card is also used.

9.5.5 New features for the CPUR/IOCR card pair

9.5.5.1 CPU time value

Address:Function=CPU:TIME
This Modbus configuration command allows a special set of Modbus registers to be used to
read and write the Modbus CPU time area.
Use the GET_TIME and SET_TIME CPU Modbus configuration commands to actually get
and set this value.
The time is expressed using the timestamp format and thus currently requires four Modbus
registers.

9.5.5.2 CPU time commands

Address:Function:U=CPU:Command:x
This Modbus configuration command requires Modbus function code 06. If the written value
is not equal to 0, the command is executed.
In this configuration command, x can be one of the following:
GET_TIME gets the CPUR card’s time and place it in the Modbus server’s CPUR time
area.
SET_TIME sets the CPUR card’s time to the value in the Modbus server’s CPUR time
area.

Note: The timestamp is based on the Unix timespec definition. That is, it is the number of seconds that have
elapsed since 00:00:00 Thursday, 01 January 1970, coordinated universal time (UTC), minus leap seconds.

9.5.5.3 CPU relay

CPU:RELAY:RelayNb=Address:Function
or
CPU:RELAY:RelayNb=$bitVariable
The five relays found on the IOCR card are named R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 in the Modbus
configuration file. So RelayNb in the Modbus configuration command (above) should be
replaced with R1, R2, R3, R4 or R5 as required.
Address:Function maps to an existing bit variable so this Modbus configuration
command requires Modbus function code 01 or 02.
$bitVariable must be an bit variable previously defined in the Modbus configuration file.

See Appendix A – Example Modbus configuration for an example Modbus configuration that
detects the removal of MPC4 machinery protection cards and AMC8 analog monitoring
cards, and indicates any such changes using the CPUR/IOCR card pair’s relays.

9.5.5.4 Slot status

SlotNr:Status:x
In this configuration command, x can be one of the following:
DAU_ID identifies the card whose status is required.

Logging service

9.6 Logging service

The CPUR/IOCR card pair also implements a logging service responsible for recording and
storing data from the Modbus server in a series of event log files (data logs):
• System events log
This log is used to record VM600 system events at the rack level, such as the detection
of card or configuration events (for example, change of Master CPUR and/or
configuration changes).
See Table 9-3 for a list of the different system event types.
• Measurement events log
This log is used to record VM600 measurement events at the card level, such as the
detection of alarm events (for example, changes to Alert and/or Danger statuses.
See Table 9-5 for a list of the different measurement event types.
The data logs (system events and measurement events) are stored in non-volatile memory
on the CPUR, thereby providing access to the operating history of a system (VM600 rack and
cards) via VibroSight System Manager.
The data logs (system events and measurement events) are user readable (text-based) data
files. The logging service has built-in mechanisms to manage the size of the stored data. The
data logs can be downloaded from a CPUR/IOCR card pair using VibroSight
System Manager (see 8.4.7 Diagnostics and data logs and 8.4.7.2 Saving data logs).

9.6.1 System events log

The CPUR card records and stores in non-volatile memory a system events log as defined
by the Modbus configuration file. The length of the system events log is fixed at 1000 system
events. An example of the information stored in a system events log is shown in Table 9-2.
Table 9-2 is an example of the system event log data and Table 9-3 lists the types of system
event that are supported.

 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Modifications and repairs

10 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Before maintaining or otherwise working with a VM600 rack, it is important to refer to the
information given in the Safety section of the manual, including:
• Electrical safety and installation on page x
• Hazardous voltages and the risk of electric shock on page xi
• Hot surfaces and the risk of burning on page xi
• Heavy objects and the risk of injury on page xi
• Replacement parts and accessories on page xii

10.1Modifications and repairs

No adjustments or calibration are required for the individual cards or system components in
a VM600 rack. In addition, there is no maintenance that the customer can perform on this
equipment.
Only Meggitt personnel, or persons authorised by Meggitt SA, should attempt to modify or
repair products from the Vibro-Meter ® product line.

NOTE: Any attempt by unauthorised personnel to modify or repair equipment still under
guarantee will invalidate the warranty.

See 12 Service and support for contact details for repairing defective hardware.

10.2Cleaning
It is not required to clean a VM600 rack.
However, if cleaning does become necessary:
• Clean with a dry cloth only.
• Keep away from live electrical parts.
• Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents. Never pour or spray any cleaner or liquid on
the rack. Keep all liquids away from the rack.
Liquids entering the housing of the rack can cause short-circuits and damage electronic
components.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN VM600 RACKS.

IF CLEANING BECOMES NECESSARY, USE A DRY CLOTH ONLY AND KEEP AWAY FROM
LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS.

SEE ALSO HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ON PAGE XVII.

10.3General remarks on fault-finding

The following sections contain information needed to localise a failure, whether this is due to
an internal CMS or MPS problem (that is, within the rack) or to an external problem.
The complete measurement system is composed of the following elements (arranged in the
order of the signal processing):
• The transducers /conditioners
Front-end
• The cabling between the transducers/conditioners components
and the signal processing cards

Document reference MACPUR/E MANUAL

Edition 2 - September 2019 VM600 CPUR and IOCR rack controller
10 - 1
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Detecting problems due to front-end components and cabling

• The VM600 rack, including cards such as the CPUM and CPUR cards.
The diagnostics of a system failure can be separated into these parts.

NOTE: Before troubleshooting the CMS or MPS, it is worthwhile checking that the overall
measuring system (transducer/conditioner and cabling) is correctly installed.

10.4Detecting problems due to front-end components and cabling

For further information on detecting problems due to front-end components and cabling, refer
to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual.

10.5Detecting problems in a VM600 rack

10.5.1 General checks for racks

The following basic checks should be carried out if a problem is suspected at VM600 rack
level:
• Check that the four LEDs on a RPS6U rack power supply are on (refer to the
VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware manual). An LED that remains off
indicates a power supply problem.
• Check the MPS rack’s mains fuses are intact and change them if necessary.
• Racks running on an AC supply are fitted with two fuses having the following
specifications:
Rated voltage = 250 VAC
Rated current = 8 A
Type = 5 x 20 mm cartridge fuse with time-lag / delay (T).
For example, Schurter FST 5x20 8A 250VAC (order number 0034.3126).
• Racks running on a DC supply do not have any fuses.
• For the Master CPUR card (see 1.4 Terminology), check that the LEDs on its front panel
are as follows:
• the status LED shows green (continuously)
• the data LED shows orange (continuously).
This indicates that the Master CPUR and has a valid configuration for all the cards in the
rack. See 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs to diagnose any other LED combinations.
• If a Inactive CPUR card is installed (that is, for a redundant system), check that the LEDs
on its front panel are as follows:
• the status LED shows orange (continuously)
• the data LED shows orange (continuously).
This indicates that the card is the Inactive CPUR and has a valid configuration for the
cards in the rack, synchronised with the Master CPUR. See 2.2.1 CPUR front panel
LEDs to diagnose any other LED combinations.
If one of the checks described above reveals that a card may have a problem, you should try
replacing the card in question as described below. If the replacement card functions correctly,
the original card can be considered defective.

NOTE: In all cases, defective cards should be returned to Meggitt SA for repair. See
12 Service and support for further information.

Detecting problems in a VM600 rack

10.5.2 Replacing a suspect card

Certain precautions must be observed when replacing suspect cards.

These are described below.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN VM600 SYSTEM RACKS (ABE04X).

WHEN AN RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLY, ASSOCIATED REAR PANEL OR CARD IS
REMOVED FROM A VM600 SYSTEM RACK (ABE04X), THE RACK BACKPLANE –
CONTAINING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES – IS EXPOSED AND THERE IS THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON
THE EQUIPMENT:

SEE ALSO HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ON PAGE XVII.

HAZARDOUS TEMPERATURES CAN EXIST WITHIN AND ON VM600 SYSTEM

RACKS (ABE04X).

DEPENDING ON THE AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, NUMBER OF CARDS AND

POWER SUPPLIES INSTALLED (AND THEIR CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION), THE
INSTALLATION AND COOLING (FORCED OR NATURAL VENTILATION), THE TOP OF A
VM600 RACK CAN BECOME HOT AND THERE IS THE RISK OF BURNING HANDLING THE
RACK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON THE
EQUIPMENT:

SEE ALSO HOT SURFACES AND THE RISK OF BURNING ON PAGE XVII.

When handling cards, the necessary precautions should be taken to

prevent damage due to electrostatic discharges.
See Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices on page xviii
for further information.

Before “hot swapping” any card in the rear of a VM600 rack, any associated
processing card in the corresponding slots in the front of the rack must be
disconnected from the rack’s backplane.
See 8.4.2 Subsequent installation of cards ("hot-swapping” capability).

10.5.2.1 General precautions for removing cards

Like most VM600 rack cards, the CPUR and IOCR cards feature a lever mechanism to help
the user to easily remove the card. Follow the procedure below (see also Figure 10-1):
1- Unfasten the two captive fixing screws. These are found at the top and at the bottom of
the front panel.
2- With your thumbs, simultaneously push the upper handle upwards and the lower
handle downwards. These combined actions will cause the card to move forwards by
1 to 2 mm.

3- Pull on both handles together (with equal force) to extract the card from the rack.

NOTE: Remember to reconnect all of the cables after the card is replaced in the rack.

10.5.2.2 CPUR cards

Being a redundant card, the CPUR can be “hot-swapped” (unlike the CPUM). That is, it is not
necessary to switch off (or disconnect) the rack power before replacing this type of card in a
redundant system or a non-redundant system.

NOTE: In a redundant system, the external power supply to the rack should be on when
replacing a CPUR card (see 10.5.2.4.4 Replacing a CPUR card – redundant
systems).

There are no user configurable jumper settings (hardware configuration) on a CPUR card.
Once the replacement CPUR card has been installed, the user action required depends on
whether it is a redundant system or a non-redundant system:
• For a standard (non-redundant) system (VM600 rack with one CPUR/IOCR card pair),
the entire rack configuration (MPS and/or CMS) must be uploaded to the rack using the
appropriate configuration software such as the VibroSight ®, VM600 MPSx and/or
VM600 CMS software.

MANUAL Document reference MACPUR/E

VM600 CPUR and IOCR rack controller Edition 2 - September 2019
10 - 4
 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Detecting problems in a VM600 rack

• For a redundant system (VM600 rack with two CPUR/IOCR card pairs), the entire rack
configuration will be automatically uploaded from the Master CPUR to the Inactive
CPUR. There is no requirement to use any configuration software (VibroSight ®,
VM600 MPSx and/or VM600 CMS).

10.5.2.3 IOCR cards

Being a redundant card, the IOCR can be “hot-swapped” (like the IOCN). That is, it is not
necessary to switch off (or disconnect) the rack power before replacing this type of card.
The replacement IOCR card must have exactly the same hardware configuration (jumper
settings) as the original (suspect) IOCR card, in order to allow the same communications
possibilities.

10.5.2.4 Other cards

VM600 signal processing cards (such as the CMC16, MPC4 and their input/output cards) can
be replaced.

10.5.2.4.1 Before replacing a card

Where possible, the relevant system parameters and other important information should be
noted before replacing a card.
For a CPUR card, for example, this includes the IP address and time settings (such as NTP
server address). These parameters can be obtained using the VibroSight System Manager
software.
For an IOCR card, for example, this includes the jumper settings, which can be obtained by
visually inspecting the original (suspect) card.

10.5.2.4.2 Replacing a CPUR or IOCR card

CPUR cards and IOCR cards can be “hot-swapped”, therefore it is not necessary to switch
off (or disconnect) the external power supply to the rack before replacing these types of card.

10.5.2.4.3 Replacing a CPUR card – non-redundant systems

In a non-redundant system, if the (Master) CPUR card develops a fault, there is no “system
controller”, communications with the card will fail and the user will notice.
In this case, the system is non-operational, until the faulty CPUR card is replaced with a
known good card. To replace the faulty CPUR card in a non-redundant system:
1- Remove the CPUR from its slot.
2- Insert a (new) known good CPUR in the same slot.
3- The user must manually upload the configuration for each of the processing cards using
the appropriate configuration software (VibroSight ®, VM600 MPSx and/or VM600 CMS).
This can be done on a per card or a per rack basis.
4- The CPUR card stores copies of the processing card configurations as they “pass
through” it to the relevant processing card.

NOTE: The CPUR card never gets configurations from the processing cards themselves.
This ensures that the CPUR is always the “master” of the configurations in a rack
(avoiding potential problems).

5- For the (Master) CPUR, configure the card settings – IP address, Modbus and time
reference – using VibroSightSystem Manager.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Detecting problems in a VM600 rack

10.5.2.4.4 Replacing a CPUR card – redundant systems

In a redundant system, if the Master CPUR card develops a fault, the Inactive CPUR card will
automatically detect this and automatically take control of the system, thereby becoming the
Master CPUR (“system controller”). This will be transparent to the user as the system
continues to work.

NOTE: When replacing a CPUR card in a redundant system, proper system behaviour
requires that the external power supply to the rack is present and the Master CPUR
card is booted up and running normally (see 2.2.1 CPUR front panel LEDs). Only
one CPUR card should be removed or inserted at any one time.

In this case, although the system is operational, it will no longer be redundant, until the faulty
CPUR card is replaced with a known good card. To replace the faulty CPUR card in a
redundant system:
1- Remove the faulty CPUR from its slot.
2- Insert a (new) known good CPUR in the same slot.
The Master CPUR card automatically detects the new CPUR and automatically uploads
a copy of its known good configuration to the new CPUR. The Master CPUR remains as
system controller and the new (good) CPUR becomes the Inactive CPUR.
3- For the (new) Inactive CPUR, configure the card settings – IP address, Modbus and time
reference – using VibroSightSystem Manager.
There is no requirement to use VM600 MPSx (MPS1 or MPS2) configuration software.

10.5.2.5 RPS6U rack power supply

In a VM600 rack containing only one RPS6U rack power supply (that is, a configuration
without rack power supply redundancy), it is obviously necessary to interrupt the rack power
while the rack power supply is being replaced. The power should be switched off (or
disconnected) before the suspect rack power supply is removed and only switched on (or
reconnected) once the new rack power supply is installed.
In a VM600 rack employing two RPS6U rack power supplies to support rack power supply
redundancy, the rack and cards can continue to be powered while one of the rack power
supplies is being replaced (refer to the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) hardware
manual).

 END-OF-LIFE PRODUCT DISPOSAL

11 END-OF-LIFE PRODUCT DISPOSAL

Like a VM600-rack based monitoring system, the CPUR and IOCR redundant card pair is an
electrical/electronic product, therefore, it must be disposed of in a acceptable manner at the
end of its useful life. This is important in order to reduce pollution and improve resource
efficiency.

NOTE: For environmental and economic reasons, end-of-life electrical and electronic
equipment must be collected and treated separately from other waste: it must not
go into landfill (or tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump or dumping ground).

In Europe (the European Union), end-of-life electrical/electronic products are classed as

waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and are subject to the requirements of the
European Union (EU) directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(commonly referred to as the WEEE directive).
According to the WEEE regulations, all waste electrical and electronic equipment should be
collected separately and then treated and disposed of in accordance with the best available
and environmentally friendly techniques. This is because electronic waste (or e-waste) may
contain substances harmful to the environment and/or to human health. In addition, electronic
waste is also a valuable source of raw materials that can contribute to a circular economy.
The WEEE symbol (a “crossed-out wheeled bin”) is used on product labelling to indicate
equipment that must be properly treated and disposed of at the end of its life
(see Figure 11-1).

Figure 11-1: WEEE symbol

Although a number of non-EU countries have enacted WEEE regulations, different end-of-life
product disposal laws and regulations apply in other countries and regions of the world.
Accordingly, please consult your local authorities to obtain the information and guidance
relevant to your country and region.

NOTE: At the end of its useful life, a VM600-rack based monitoring system, and a CPUR
and IOCR redundant card pair must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner.
In European Union Member States, the WEEE directive is applicable.
In other countries and regions of the world, different laws and regulations may be
applicable, so please consult your local authorities.
