Working Principle
Field vibration/speed sensor raw signals enter the card’s front terminal block, pass through passive filter and surge protection circuit, then transmit to matched MPC4 processing card via rack backplane for FFT spectrum analysis and protection threshold judgment. Processed digital fault data returns to IOC4T card, converted to standard 0–10 V / 4–20 mA analog retransmission signals for DCS/PLC system access; meanwhile threshold trigger signals drive on-board relays to output hard-wired shutdown/interlock signals for turbomachinery safety protection.
