Description

AMC8 Card

The AMC8 is an analog monitoring card designed for use in the VM600 rack-mounted system in the Meggitt Vibrometer® product family for machinery monitoring and protection applications.

This versatile card is capable of measuring and monitoring up to eight analog signal inputs simultaneously.

The AMC8 card is available in two versions: a “standard” version and a “circuit independent” version, both of which are available as card pairs using the corresponding IOC8T input/output card.

The AMC8 card is mounted on the front of the VM600 rack (ABE04x or ABE056) and the IOC8T I/O card is mounted on the rear.

Both cards connect directly to the rack backplane via two connectors.

A pair of AMC8/IOC8T cards provides eight channels of temperature monitoring that accept resistance temperature detector (RTD) and thermocouple (TC) temperature inputs as well as process inputs.

The source and type of each channel is selectable during card configuration.
