VM-7 Series
What it is
The VM-7 Series is a machinery protection system. The VM-7 Series meets API-670 and is intended for Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation applications on large utility turbine-generator sets.[1]
How it works
The VM-7 Series can connect digitally to infiSYS. The VM-7 Series can also be configured for alarm relays via Boolean logic.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
The VM-7 Series fits in the machinery protection layer rather than in the primary process equipment path. The VM-7 Series is used on large utility turbine-generator sets where turbine supervisory instrumentation is part of the operating and protection scheme.[1]
Applications
The VM-7 Series is applied to large utility turbine-generator sets. The VM-7 Series is suited for turbine supervisory instrumentation duties on critical rotating assets that require API-670 machinery protection.[1]
