For rotating equipment, the quality of acquired data directly affects the usefulness of condition monitoring. The CMC16 provides a structured way to collect multiple machine-related signals and make them available for subsequent analysis, allowing maintenance teams to observe changes in operating conditions rather than relying only on periodic inspection.

It is particularly suitable for monitoring applications involving turbines, compressors, pumps and other rotating machinery where vibration and speed-related information need to be collected continuously. Its integration with the wider VM600 architecture also makes it practical for existing systems where a replacement monitoring card is required without changing the overall monitoring concept.

Key Features & Benefits:

Multi-signal data acquisition

The CMC16 can process programmable inputs representing vibration, speed, phase reference, dynamic pressure and other measurement signals. This gives the monitoring system greater flexibility when different types of machine data need to be collected through the same platform.

Programmable signal processing

The card incorporates 16 programmable tracked anti-aliasing filters together with analog-to-digital converters. This allows incoming measurement signals to be conditioned before digital analysis, which is important when monitoring machinery where reliable signal information is needed for condition assessment.

Designed for system-level integration

The CMC16 can receive signals through the IOC16T module and exchange acquired data with the system CPU for further processing and communication. This makes it better suited to complete machinery monitoring installations than to isolated measurement tasks.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main function of CMC16 200-530-012-012?
It is a condition monitoring and data acquisition card used to collect and process machinery-related measurement signals within the monitoring system.

Q2: What types of signals can the CMC16 handle?
It can handle signals related to vibration, speed, phase reference, dynamic pressure and other dynamic or quasi-static measurements.

Q3: Can CMC16 be used independently?
It is intended to operate as part of the overall monitoring architecture, normally working with the associated I/O and CPU modules rather than functioning as a standalone field instrument.

Q4: Is 200-530-012-012 interchangeable with every CMC16 version?
Firmware and hardware revisions should be checked carefully because major hardware revisions may affect interchangeability.
