Working Principle
The IOCN connects to the CPUM through the rack backplane and provides external communication interfaces. It exchanges machinery protection data, alarm information and configuration parameters between the system and external networks. Ethernet ports support communication with MPSx software and industrial protocols. Serial ports support direct configuration and RS-485 multi-rack networking. The card maintains communication integrity and reports status to the CPUM for system diagnostics.

Installation Requirements

  • Install the IOCN in the rear slot behind the CPUM card.
  • Verify compatibility with the installed CPUM hardware and firmware.
  • Use approved Ethernet cables for primary and redundant communication.
  • Configure IP addresses and protocol parameters through MPSx.
  • Ground communication shields according to installation requirements.
  • Separate communication cables from high-voltage power cables.
  • Verify network connectivity before commissioning.
  • Confirm that the IOCN revision matches the system configuration.

Precautions for Use

  • Only qualified personnel should configure or service the IOCN card.
  • Do not disconnect communication links during critical protection operation.
  • Verify redundant communication paths before relying on redundancy.
  • Keep Ethernet and serial connectors clean and properly seated.
  • Do not modify network settings without authorization.
  • Back up system configuration before firmware updates.
  • Investigate communication faults before restarting affected systems.
  • Refer to the official Vibro-Meter IOCN manual for exact specifications.
