Description
Meggitt Vibro-Meter VM600 IOCN PNR200-566-101-013 / PNR200-566-000-112 Product Description
Product Overview
Meggitt Vibro-Meter VM600 IOCN PNR200-566-101-013 and Meggitt Vibro-Meter VM600 IOCN PNR200-566-000-112 are industrial communication interface modules designed for the VM600 Machinery Protection System (MPS) and Condition Monitoring System (CMS). These IOCN (Input/Output Communication Node) modules are key components of the VM600 rack controller architecture and are primarily used together with the CPUM processor module to provide system communication, signal interfacing, diagnostic management, and data exchange functions between the VM600 monitoring platform and external control systems.
The Meggitt Vibro-Meter VM600 IOCN PNR200-566-000-112 acts as a communication and interface expansion module for the VM600 CPUM controller card. Installed in the rear card cage of a VM600 rack, it provides Ethernet and serial communication access, system status monitoring, and external interface capability. The module enables VM600 machinery protection and condition monitoring systems to communicate with plant-level DCS, SCADA, engineering workstations, and asset management platforms.
The upgraded Meggitt Vibro-Meter VM600 IOCN PNR200-566-101-013 belongs to the same IOCN family and is commonly used as a later hardware revision or replacement option for earlier IOCN modules. It supports modern VM600 communication architectures and improves system integration flexibility for industrial monitoring applications. Both versions are widely applied in power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, marine propulsion, and heavy industrial facilities where reliable machinery monitoring communication is essential.
