VM-7B

The Shinkawa VM-7 Series is a premium, high-density Condition Monitoring System (CMS) engineered to protect critical rotating machinery in demanding petrochemical and power plants. It eliminates the risks of monitoring disruptions through fully redundant power and network communications architecture. The system features up to 44 vibration channels or 66 temperature channels into a single 6U 19-inch rack.

VM-7B suits the demands of large turbines, compressors, and power generators with real-time condition tracking with immediate alarm outputs. Every module is front-accessible enabling operators to perform hot-swaps on the go without ever untangling rear wiring. With direct connections to the infiSYS RV-200 analysis system, you can diagnose transient data during startup and shutdown from virtually anywhere.

Applications of VM-7B:
Ideal for Steam Turbines, Gas Turbines, Electric Generators, Large Compressors, Feed Pumps, and Blowers.

 

  • Ultra-High Channel Density: Reduces control room footprint by accommodating up to 44 vibration or 66 temperature channels in one rack.
  • Redundancy: Supports redundant power supplies and network communications to DCS/PLC networks to ensure zero downtime.
  • Hot-Swappable Modules: All modules install and remove from the front panel, bypassing the need to disrupt back-end wiring during maintenance.
  • Customisable Alarm Logic: Features independently programmable relays allowing users to configure sophisticated AND/OR or 2-out-of-3 alarm logic structures
  • Advanced Diagnostics Integration: Seamlessly interfaces with infiSYS View Station for deep transient data analysis (0.5X, 1X, 2X amplitude/phase)

Frequently Asked Questions
