An insider look at the architecture of a truly distributed machinery protection and condition monitoring system. Eight years ago the VC-8000 Machinery Protection system began providing users a new paradigm to manage their critical rotating and reciprocating machinery assets. This Webinar will discuss key design features of the UMM including separation of the protection critical path from the machinery management data critical for the Systems certified IEC6i508 SIL2 capability. We will discuss the primary block diagrams of the UMM and the complete VC-8000 system to allow viewers to better understand this technology and make informed design and purchasing decisions.
