1 Receiving and Handling Instructions
1.1 Receiving Inspection

Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If shipping damage is
apparent, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada
Corporation.
1.2 Handling and Storing Considerations

Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will
void the warranty. To avoid damage, observe the following precautions.
Application Alert
Host communication
and rack configuration
capabilities will be lost
when this module is
removed from the rack.
• Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or
procedures that would subject the circuit board to static damage. Some
possible causes include ungrounded soldering irons, nonconductive plastics,
and similar materials.
• Personnel must be grounded with a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M
Velostat No. 2060) before handling or maintaining a printed circuit board.
• Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or foil.
• Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30% tends
to multiply the accumulation of static charges on any surface.
• When performed properly, this module may be installed into or removed from
the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to the Rack Installation and
Maintenance Manual (part number 129766-01) for the proper procedure.

2 General Information 3500/20 Operation and Maintenance
2 General Information
The Rack Interface Module (RIM) is the primary interface into the 3500 rack. It
supports a Bently Nevada proprietary protocol used to configure the rack and
retrieve machinery information. The RIM must be located in slot 1 of the rack
(next to the power supplies). The RIM provides the connections needed to
support current Bently Nevada Communications Processors (Transient Data
Interface External (TDIX) and Dynamic Data Interface External (DDIX)).
Although the RIM does provide certain functions common to the entire rack, the
RIM is not part of the critical monitoring path. The RIM's operation (or non-
operation) has no effect on the proper, normal operation of the overall
monitoring system.

2.1 Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) Description

For TMR applications, the 3500 system requires a TMR version of the RIM. In
addition to all the standard RIM functions, the TMR RIM also performs "monitor
channel comparison." The 3500 TMR configuration executes monitoring voting
using the setup specified in the monitor options. Using this method the TMR
RIM continually compares a specified output of 3 redundant monitors. If the
TMR RIM detects that the information from one of those monitors is no longer
equivalent (within a configured percent) to the remaining two, it will flag the
monitor as being in error and place an event in the System Event List.
2.2 Statuses
The Rack Interface Module returns both module and channel statuses. This
section describes the available statuses and where they can be found.
Module Status
OK
This indicates if the Rack Interface Module is functioning correctly. A not OK
status is returned under any of the following conditions:
• Hardware Failure in the module
• Node Voltage Failure
• OK Relay coil check Failed
