The system racks are used to house hardware for the series of machinery protection systems and condition monitoring systems, from product line.
Two types of rack are available: the ABE040 and the ABE042. These are very similar, differing only in the position of the mounting brackets. Both racks have a standard height of 6U and provide mounting space (slots) for up to 15 single-width series cards, or a combination of single-width and multiple-width cards. The racks are particularly suitable for industrial environments, where equipment must be permanently installed in 19″ cabinets or panels. The rack has an integrated VME backplane which provides the electrical interconnections between the installed cards: power supply, signal processing, data acquisition, input /output, CPU and relay. It also includes a power supply check relay,

available at the rear of the rack, which indicates that the installed power supplies are operating normally. One or two RPS6U power supplies can be installed in a system rack. A rack can have two RPS6U units installed for different reasons: to supply power to a rack with many cards installed, non-redundantly, or to supply power to a rack with fewer cards installed, redundantly.
When a system rack is operating with two RPS6U units for power supply redundancy, if one RPS6U fails, the other will provide 100% of the power requirement and the rack will continue to operate.
