The VIBROCONTROL 8000 Machinery Protection System (VC-8000) is a rack-based continuous machinery monitoring platform designed to fully comply with American Petroleum Institute Standard 670 for machinery protection systems. Up to 60 vibration/position/speed channels or 90 temperature/process variable channels can be monitored and displayed in a single 19” rack. The system measures and alarms on a wide variety of vibration, position, speed, temperature, and process variable inputs (refer to chapter Specifications). All necessary monitoring functionality is provided using only four basic module types, simplifying spare parts requirements.
