VIBRO-METER VM600 RPS6U 200-582-600-013 is a
Rotor Position and Speed Sensor Module developed by
GE VIBRO-METER (a subsidiary of GE Energy). It is a core component of the
VM600 online vibration monitoring and protection system, designed to real-time collect rotor speed, phase, and position signals from rotating machinery (such as gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators). It provides critical data for equipment condition monitoring, fault diagnosis, and safety protection, widely used in power, oil & gas, chemical, and other industrial sectors.
Real-Time Condition Monitoring
Continuously collects rotor speed, phase difference, and position signals, which are analyzed by the VM600 main controller to display real-time equipment operating status (e.g., over-speed, abnormal speed fluctuations), providing intuitive data support for operators.
Fault Diagnosis & Early Warning
Combined with vibration signals (e.g., shaft vibration, bearing temperature), it identifies potential faults (such as rotor unbalance, misalignment, shaft looseness) through changes in speed/phase, triggering early warnings (e.g., audible-visual alarms) to avoid sudden shutdowns.
Safety Interlock Protection
When speed exceeds the set threshold (e.g., turbine overspeed protection value), it quickly outputs interlock signals to trigger emergency shutdown logic, protecting equipment from major damage and complying with industrial safety standards (e.g., API 670).
System Integration
As a sub-module of the VM600 system, it connects with vibration monitoring modules (e.g., VS20) and data processing units via internal bus, forming a complete equipment health management loop. It supports communication with DCS (e.g., GE Mark VIe, ABB AC800M) or SCADA systems.
