Section 1 - Receiving and Handling Instructions

1. Receiving and Handling Instructions

1.1 Receiving Inspection
Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If you detect shipping damage, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada LLC.

1.2

Handling and Storage 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 in the order given.

Application Advisory
Machinery protection may be lost when you remove this module 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 use a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M Velostat No. 2060 ground strap) to ground themselves 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.

Section 2 - General Information

2. General Information
2.1 Introduction
The 3500/40M Proximitor Monitor is a 4-channel monitor that accepts input from proximity transducers, conditions the signal to make various vibration and position measurements, and compares the conditioned signals with userprogrammable alarms. You can use the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to program each channel of the 3500/40M to perform any of the following functions: Radial Vibration Thrust Position Eccentricity Differential Expansion REBAM

NOTE
You program the monitor channels in pairs. The monitor channels can perform up to 2 of these functions at a time. Channels 1 and 2 can perform one function, while channels 3 and 4 perform another (or the same) function.

The primary purposes of the 3500/40M monitor are: 1. To continuously compare monitored parameters against configured alarm setpoints to drive alarms and provide machine protection. 2. To provide essential machine information for both operations and maintenance personnel. Each channel, depending on configuration, typically conditions its input signal into various parameters called proportional values. You can configure Alert setpoints for each active proportional value and Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active proportional values. The 3500/42M is shipped from the factory in an unconfigured state. You can install the 3500/42M into a 3500 rack and configure the module as needed to

Triple Modular Redundant Description

In a TMR configuration, you must install 3500/40M monitors and I/O modules adjacent to each other in groups of 3. In this configuration, the monitors employ 2 types of voting to ensure accurate operation and to avoid single-point failures.

Section 2 - General Information The first level of voting occurs on the TMR Relay Module. This voting uses a 2-outof-3 method to compare the selected alarm outputs for the 3 monitors. 2 monitors must agree before the relay module drives the relay. Refer to the 3500/32 & 34 Relay Module Operation and Maintenance Manual (part number 129771-01) for more information on this voting. The second type of voting is referred to as "Comparison" voting. This type of voting compares the proportional value outputs of each monitor in the group with each other. If the output of a monitor differs from the output of the other monitors in the group by a specified amount, that monitor will add an entry to the System Event list. You configure comparison voting by setting Comparison and % Comparison in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. Comparison: The enabled proportional value of the TMR monitor group that the TMR group uses to determine by how much the values of the 3 monitors can differ before a monitor adds an entry to the System Event List.

% Comparison: The maximum difference in percent between the middle value of the 3 monitors in a TMR group and the individual values of each monitor. 2 types of input configurations are available for TMR applications: bussed and discrete. 1) Bussed configuration uses the signal from a single non-redundant transducer and provides that signal to all modules in the TMR group through a single 3500 Bussed External Termination Block. 2) Discrete configuration requires 3 redundant transducers at each measurement location on the machine. The input from each transducer connects to separate 3500 external termination blocks or directly to the I/O module with internal terminations.

2.4

Available Data
The Proximitor Monitor returns specific proportional values that depend upon the type of channel that is configured. This monitor also returns both monitor and channel statuses which are common to all types of channels.

2.4.1 Monitor Statuses

This section describes the monitor statuses that the monitor provides.

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual Table 2-1 summarizes where you can find the monitor statuses.

Section 2 - General Information Table 2-1: Location of Monitor Statuses

Statuses Monitor Not OK Monitor Alert/Alarm 1 Monitor Danger/Alarm 2 Monitor Bypass Monitor Configuration Fault Monitor Special Alarm Inhibit Communication Gateway Module X X X Rack Configuration Software X X X X X X

2.4.1.1

Not OK Status This indicates whether the monitor is functioning correctly. The monitor returns a Not OK status under any of the following conditions: Module Hardware Failure Node Voltage Failure Configuration Failure Transducer Failure Slot ID Failure Channel not OK

If the Monitor OK status goes Not OK, then the system OK Relay on the Rack Interface I/O Module will be driven Not OK. 2.4.1.2 Alert/Alarm 1 Status This indicates whether the monitor has entered Alert/Alarm 1. A monitor will enter the Alert/Alarm 1 state when any proportional value provided by the monitor exceeds its configured Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. 2.4.1.3 Danger/Alarm 2 Status This indicates whether the monitor has entered Danger/Alarm 2. A monitor will enter the Danger/Alarm 2 state when any proportional value provided by the monitor exceeds its configured Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. 2.4.1.4 Bypass Status This indicates when the monitor has bypassed alarming for 1 or more proportional values at a channel. A condition that sets the channel bypass status will also set this monitor bypass status.

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual 2.4.1.5 Configuration Fault Status This indicates whether the monitor configuration is valid. 2.4.1.6 Special Alarm Inhibit Status This indicates whether all the non-primary Alert/Alarm 1 alarms in the associated monitor channel are inhibited. The Channel Special Alarm Inhibit function is active when: The Alarm Inhibit contact (INHB/RET) on the I/O Module is closed (active). A Channel Special Alarm Inhibit software switch is enabled.

2.4.2 Channel Statuses

This section describes the channel statuses that the monitor provides. Table 2-2 summarizes where you can find the channel statuses. Table 2-2: Location of Channel Statuses

Section 2 - General Information 2.4.2.3 Danger/Alarm 2 Status This indicates whether the associated monitor channel has entered Danger/Alarm 2. A channel will enter the Danger/Alarm 2 state when any proportional value provided by the channel exceeds its configured Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. 2.4.2.4 Bypass Status This indicates that the channel has bypassed alarming for 1 or more of its proportional values. The following conditions may cause a channel bypass status: A transducer is Not OK, and the channel is configured for Timed OK Channel Defeat. The Keyphasor signal with which the channel is associated has gone invalid, defeating all proportional values that relate to the Keyphasor signal (for example 1X Amplitude, 1X Phase, Not 1X, etc.) and bypassing their associated alarms. The monitor has detected a serious internal fault. A software switch is bypassing any channel alarming function. The Special Alarm Inhibit is active and preventing the monitor from processing enabled alarms.

2.4.2.5

Special Alarm Inhibit Status This indicates whether all the non-primary Alert/Alarm 1 alarms in the associated monitor channel are inhibited. The Channel Special Alarm Inhibit function is active when: The Alarm Inhibit contact (INHB/RET) on the I/O Module is closed (active). A Channel Special Alarm Inhibit software switch is enabled.

2.4.2.6

3.2.1 Reference Information

These fields contain information that indicates which module you are configuring. Slot This value indicates the slot monitoring position (2 through 15) of the monitor in the 3500 Rack.

13

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual Rack Type This value indicates the type of Rack Interface Module (Standard or TMR) that is installed in the rack. Configuration ID This information field displays an optional identifier of up to 6 characters, which, if present, was entered upon last configuration download to the module.

3.2.2 Slot Input/Output Module Type

The I/O field lets you identify the type of I/O Module that is attached to the monitor. The option that you select must agree with the type of installed I/O module. 3.2.2.1 Discrete I/O Use Discrete I/O when each monitor channel connects to its own transducer. This applies to both standard and TMR installations. Prox/Seismic I/O Module (Internal Termination) The transducer field wiring connects directly to the I/O module. Prox/Seismic I/O Module (External Termination) The transducer field wiring connects to an external termination block, which connects to the I/O module through a 25-pin cable. The recorder field wiring connects to an external termination block, which connects to the I/O module through a 9-pin cable. Barrier Proximitor I/O The transducer field wiring connects directly to the Proximitor Monitor Internal Barrier I/O Module. Note that if you select the Prox/Accel Internal Barrier I/O option then the software will disable certain transducer type options. 3.2.2.2 Bussed I/O Bussed I/O busses 1 transducer input signal to 3 identical adjacent monitors and 3 TMR I/O Modules. Use this option when your application does not require redundant transducers and field wiring. TMR I/O Proximitor I/O This configuration connects a single set of 4 transducers to 3 identical adjacent monitors. Each transducer connects to a Bussed External Termination Block, which in turn connects to the Proximitor TMR I/O Modules through 3 25-pin cables. The recorder field wiring connects to an external

3.2.3 Channel Pair 1 and 2 and Channel Pair 3 and 4

The fields within these boxes apply to both channels of the channel pair. Channel Pair Type This determines the type of monitoring which the channel pair is to perform. The monitor provides the following Channel Pair types: Radial Vibration Thrust Position Differential Expansion Eccentricity REBAM

3.2.4 Keyphasor Signal Association

No Keyphasor You can use this option when a Keyphasor signal is not available. If you mark this field then the only available data will be Direct and Gap. Software will automatically mark this field for channel pairs, such as Thrust and Differential Expansion, that do not require a Keyphasor transducer. Primary Primary specifies the Keyphasor channel that the monitor will normally use for measurement. If you mark this Keyphasor transducer as invalid, the backup Keyphasor transducer will provide the shaft reference information. Backup Backup specifies the Keyphasor channel that the monitor will use if the primary Keyphasor channel fails. If your application does not have a backup Keyphasor channel, select your primary Keyphasor channel as your backup Keyphasor channel.

Application Advisory
For TMR applications, set Channel Pair 1 and 2 as the primary Keyphasor channel and Channel Pair 3 and 4 as the backup Keyphasor channel.

Section 4 - I/O Module Descriptions

4. Input/Output Module Descriptions

4.1 Introduction
Input/Output (I/O) Modules receive signals from the transducers and route the signals to the Proximitor/Seismic Monitor. The I/O module supplies power to the transducers and provides a 4 to 20 mA recorder output for each transducer input channel. You can install only 1 I/O module at any one time. You must install the I/O module behind the monitor in a rack mount or panel mount rack, or above the monitor in a Bulkhead rack. I/O modules can have either internal or external terminations. Internal termination requires that you wire each transducer and recorder directly to the I/O module. External termination lets you simplify the wiring to the I/O modules in a 3500 rack by using a 25-pin cable to route the signals from the 4 transducers and a 9-pin cable to route the signals from the recorders. External termination I/O modules allow you to use External Termination blocks so that you can place the transducer wiring in any convenient location. The 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor is compatible with the following types of I/O modules: Table 4-1: Compatible I/O Module Types
Internal Termination Proximitor I/O module Barrier Proximitor I/O module External Termination Proximitor I/O module TMR Proximitor I/O module External Termination Block Terminal strip connectors Euro Style connectors

This section describes the connectors, jumpers, and switches for each type of I/O module, lists which cables you should use, and shows the pinouts of the cables. The 3500 Field Wiring Diagram Package (part number 130432-01) shows how to connect transducers and recorders to the I/O module or the external termination block.

Section 5 - Monitor Verification

5. Monitor Verification
5.1 Introduction
The boards and components inside 3500 modules cannot be repaired in the field. 3500 rack maintenance consists of testing module channels to verify that they are operating correctly. You should use a spare to replace modules that are not operating correctly. When performed properly, you may install this module into or remove the module from the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to the 3500 Monitoring System Rack Installation and Maintenance Manual (part number 129766-01) for the proper procedure. Refer to the section of a particular channel type for information on verifying the operation of that channel type.

5.2

Choosing a Maintenance Interval

Use the following approach to choose a maintenance interval: 1. Start with an interval of 1 year and then shorten the interval if either of the following conditions apply: The monitored machine is classified as critical. The 3500 rack operates in a harsh environment, such as in extreme temperature, high humidity, or a corrosive atmosphere.

2. At each interval, use the results of the previous verifications and ISO Procedure 10012-1 to adjust the interval.

5.3

Typical Verification Test Setup

Figure 5-1 shows the typical test setup for verifying a Proximitor Monitor. You use the test equipment to simulate the transducer signal and the laptop computer to observe the output from the rack.

Using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software

The laptop computer that is part of the test setup uses the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to display output from the rack and to reset certain operating parameters in the rack. To perform the test procedures in this section you must be familiar with the following operations of the 3500 Rack Configuration Software: uploading, downloading, and saving configuration files, enabling and disabling channels and alarms, bypassing channels and alarms, and displaying the Verification screen

The 3500 Rack Configuration and Utilities Guide (part number 129777-01) explains how to perform these operations.

NOTE
Before beginning any Maintenance and/or Troubleshooting Procedures you should save the original rack configuration. The procedures may require you to change setpoints and other values that you must restore to their original values at the conclusion of the procedures. At that time you should download the original configuration to the rack.

Figure 5-3 shows how the Verification screen displays output from a 3500 rack:

OK Limit Verification Fields: These fields display output for verifying OK limits. Current Value Verification Fields: The software displays the current proportional in this box. These fields display output for verifying channel output. Alarm Verification Fields: These fields display output for verifying channel alarms. The software displays alarms in the bar graph in yellow (Alert/Alarm 1) or red (Danger/Alarm 2) with the word Alarm under the current value box.

Figure 5-3: Verification Screen Display Any channel bar graph value that enters Alert/Alarm 1 or Danger/Alarm 2 will cause the alarm lines in the Channel Status box to indicate an alarm. Any channel that enters alarm will cause the alarm lines in the Module Status box to indicate an alarm. The bar graph display uses specific lines to indicate the following Setpoints: Danger/Alarm 2 Over = Solid red line Alert/Alarm 1 Over = Solid yellow line Alert/Alarm 1 Under = Dashed yellow line Danger/Alarm 2 Under = Dashed red line

Zero Position (Z.P.) Voltage: The Zero Position Voltage is the voltage input that will cause the readings on the bar graph display and current value box to be zero. The software displays the Zero Position Voltage value in the Z.P. Volts box above the bar graph for each channel value.

Section 5 - Monitor Verification

5.5

Adjusting the Scale Factor and Zero Position

This section shows how to adjust the transducer scale factor and the transducer position, or "zero". You can use the Scale Factor Adjustment to accommodate any deviations in transducer scale factor as measured on the installed transducers. Do not use the procedure to compensate for any errors within the monitor and the I/O module. Replace any monitor does not meet specifications with a spare and return the faulty module to Bently Nevada LLC for repair. You should properly configure and test the newly installed spare module. Adjusting the scale factor affects the readings of all configured parameters associated with the channel. If you change the scale factor, be sure to use the new value when you calculate inputs for verification of channel values. Thrust, Eccentricity, and Differential Expansion measurements, as well as Gap measurements you configure to read in displacement units (not volts), use the Zero Position Adjustment. Adjust the zero position after you gap the probe and its target is in the proper position. Both adjustment procedures use the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to upload the configuration from the rack, change the setting for scale factor or zero position, and then download the new configuration back to the rack. You can use either of the following methods to adjust these settings: 1. Enter a new value in the scale factor box on the transducer screen or the zero position box on the Channel Options screen. 2. Use Adjust to get immediate feedback from the channel on the Adjust screen. The advantage of using the Adjust screen (Method 2) is that you can use the bar graphs to see the effect of your adjustments on the output signals of the channel. The following procedures show how to use each of these methods.

5.5.1 Adjusting the Scale Factor

1. Use one of the methods in the 3500 Monitoring System Rack Configuration and Utilities Guide (part number 129777-01) to connect the rack configuration computer to the 3500 rack. 2. Run the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. 3. Initiate communication with the rack by first clicking on the Connect option in the File menu and then selecting the connection method that you used in step 1. 4. Click on the Upload option in the File menu to upload the configuration from the rack. 5. Click on the Options button on the 3500 System Configuration screen.

Select Download from the File menu to download the new configuration to the appropriate monitor. The new setting for scale factor will take effect when the "Download successful" prompt appears.

5.5.2 Zero Position Adjustment Description

When you adjust the Zero Position voltage, you are defining the transducer voltage that corresponds to the position of the zero indication on a bar graph display (refer to the Figure 5-4).
25 20 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 1
1. Thrust position bar graph

Figure 5-4: Bar Graph Zero Position To maximize the zero adjustment, gap the transducer as closely as possible to the ideal zero position voltage based on the full-scale range and transducer scale factor. For a mid-scale zero, as in Figure 5-4, the ideal gap is the center of the range. Refer to the transducer information of the applicable channel type for the appropriate center voltage When you increase or decrease the zero position voltage, you are actually mapping the monitor full scale range to a portion of the transducer linear range.
32

Section 5 - Monitor Verification The zero position voltage adjustment range depends on the full-scale range of the proportional value you are adjusting, the transducer scale factor, and the transducer OK limits. Table 5-1 and Figure 5-5 show how these parameters relate to the zero position voltage range. Table 5-1: Zero Position Example Parameters

Section 7 - Radial Vibration General Information

7. Radial Vibration General Information

Radial vibration is the dynamic motion of a shaft or casing in a direction that is perpendicular to the shaft axis. 3500 Radial Vibration channels use signals from proximity probes to measure this motion. In a 3500 Monitoring System, you program the Radial Vibration channels in pairs. These channels, depending on configuration, typically condition the input signals into various parameters called proportional values. These values, together with a Keyphasor signal, provide phase measurements. When you position 2 proximity probes in an X-Y or orthogonal orientation, the 3500 software can use the dynamic data to create orbit, full spectrum, and shaft centerline plots for enhanced machinery management. Radial Vibration channels also provide setpoints that you can use for alarming. You can configure Alert setpoints for each active proportional value and Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active proportional values.

57

Section 8 - Radial Vibration Configuration

8. Radial Vibration Configuration

8.1 Introduction
This section discusses the configuration considerations and the 3500 Rack Configuration Software screens that are associated with the Radial Vibration Channel.

8.2

Configuration Considerations
Consider the following items before configuring a Radial Vibration Channel: 7200 11mm and 14mm Proximitor sensors, 3000 Proximitor sensors, and the 3300 16mm HTPS do not currently support internal barrier I/O modules or external barriers. When you select "No Keyphasor", you cannot select 1X Amplitude (Ampl) and Phase Lag, 2X Amplitude (Ampl) and Phase Lag, Not 1X Amplitude (Ampl), and Smax Amplitude (Ampl). If you select a Keyphasor channel, then you must install a Keyphasor module in the rack. You can enable the 1X and 2X Phase values only if you configure the selected Keyphasor channel for an events per revolution equal to 1. The transducer type determines the full-scale options that the software will allow for each proportional value. If you select a Non-standard transducer, software sets the setpoint OK limits to 1 volt from the Upper and Lower OK Limits that you select. There are 2 selections for 3000 Series transducers: 3000 (-24V) Proximitor and 3000 (-18V) Proximitor. Select the 3000(-24V) Proximitor option when you will connect a 3000 Series Proximitor sensor directly to a 3500 monitor. The software will select a default scale factor of 285 mV/mil, which you may adjust 15%. Note that the monitor does not compensate the buffered transducer signals on the front of the monitors and to the Data Manager and that you should interpret them at 285 mV/mil. Select the 3000(-18V) Proximitor option when you will connect a 3000 Series Proximitor sensor directly to a 3500 monitor, but supply power to the Proximitor sensor from an external 18V source. Software will select a default scale factor of 200 mV/mil, which you may adjust 15%. Note that the monitor does not compensate the
59

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual buffered transducer signals on the front of the monitors and to the Data Manager and that you should interpret them at 200 mV/mil. You may set setpoints only on enabled proportional values. You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1 and 2 as Radial Vibration and Channels 3 and 4 as Thrust Position). When you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this proportional value. It is best to set the Scale Factor value and the Trip Multiply value before the Zero Position value. 3000 (-18V), 3000 (-24V), and 3300 RAM Proximitor sensors have limited linear ranges. Therefore, you should use caution when selecting the Fullscale range of the Direct, 1X Amplitude (Ampl), 2X Amplitude (Ampl), Not 1X Amplitude (Ampl) and Smax Amplitude (Ampl) PPLs. Full-scale value x Trip Multiply should not exceed the linear range of the transducer. Phase-dependent measurements require a minimum signal amplitude of 42.7 mV and a minimum Keyphasor frequency of 1.2 Hz.

8.3

Configuration Options
This section describes the options that the Radial Vibration Channel configuration screen provides.

Figure 8-1: Radial Vibration Configuration Screen

Section 8 - Radial Vibration Configuration

8.3.1 General Parameters and Buttons

8.3.1.1 Timed OK Channel Defeat This option prevents a channel from returning to an OK status until that channel's transducer has remained in an OK state for 30 seconds. Software always enables this feature in the Radial Vibration channels. The option protects against false trips that intermittent transducers can cause. 8.3.1.2 CP Mod Selecting the CP Mod button in the Channel Options Dialog Box allows you to download a Custom channel configuration to the monitor. The 3500 Rack Configuration Software stores custom configuration data in a Custom Products Modification File. Custom Products Modification files follow the naming convention <modification #.mod>. You must place these files in the \3500\Rackcfg\Mods\ directory. When you select a CP Mod file, the software displays a window that describes the function of the modification. CP Mod files are available through Bently Nevada LLC's Custom Products Division. Contact your local sales representative for details. 8.3.1.3 Zero Position (Gap) This value represents the zero position (in volts) when the Gap scale is to read the engineering units of displacement. To maximumize the amount of zero adjustment, you should gap the probe as closely as possible to the center gap voltage specified in Table 8-4, OK Limits by Transducer Type. This field is not available for Voltage Gap Scale. 8.3.1.4 Adjust Button This control adjusts the Zero Position voltage. Clicking this button will start a utility that helps you set the gap zero position voltage. Since this utility provides active feedback from the 3500 rack you will require a connection with the rack to use it. Refer to Section 5.5, Adjusting the Scale Factor and Zero Position for more information. 8.3.1.5 Trip Multiply The Trip Multiply value temporarily increases the alarm (Alert and Danger) setpoint values. Manual (operator) action normally applies this value during startup to allow a machine to pass through high vibration speed ranges without triggering monitor alarm indications. High vibration speed ranges may include system resonances and other normal transient vibrations. 8.3.1.6 Direct Frequency Response The Direct Frequency Response determines the upper and lower corners for the band-pass filter that the monitor uses with direct vibration measurements. The available ranges are 240 to 240,000 cpm and 60 to 36,000 cpm.

Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found.. Error! Reference source not found., if applicable.

8.3.2 Reference Information

These fields contain information that indicates which module you are configuring. 8.3.2.1 Channel This value specifies the number of the channel (1 through 4) that you are configuring. 8.3.2.2 Slot This value specifies the location of the monitor in the 3500 rack (2 through 15). 8.3.2.3 Rack Type This value specifies the type of Rack Interface Module (Standard or TMR) that is installed in the rack.

8.3.3 Enable
An enabled proportional value specifies that the channel will provide the value ( enabled, disabled). 8.3.3.1 Direct Direct data represents the overall peak-to-peak vibration. This proportional value includes all frequencies within the selected Direct Frequency Response. 8.3.3.2 Gap Gap is the physical distance between the face of a proximity probe tip and the observed surface. Gap can express this distance in terms of displacement (mils, micrometres) or in terms of voltage. Standard polarity convention dictates that a decreasing gap results in an increasing (less negative) output signal.

This is the value to which a proportional value goes when some condition bypasses or defeats that channel or proportional value (such as when the transducer experiences a problem). You can select a value between the minimum and maximum full-scale range values. 1X and 2X Phase Lag have available values of 0 to 359 degrees. The monitor clamps only the values available from the Recorder Outputs, Communication Gateway, and Display Interface Module when the proportional value is invalid. 8.3.3.11 Recorder Output

This is the proportional value of a channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA recorder. The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full-scale range. An increase in the proportional value that a bar graph display would indicate as upscale will increase the current at the recorder output. If you select 1X Phase Lag or 2X Phase Lag then the 2 available options are with Hysteresis and without Hysteresis. If the channel is in Bypass the monitor will clamp the output to the selected clamp value (or to 2 mA if you select the 2 mA clamp option).
64

Section 8 - Radial Vibration Configuration The Hysteresis option helps prevent the Recorder Output from jumping from Full to Bottom Scale when the phase measurement is near 0 or 359 degrees. When you check the Hysteresis option, the recorder signal operates as follows: The monitor scales the recorder output so that 4 mA corresponds to 0 degrees and 20 mA corresponds to 380 degrees (360 plus 20 degrees). An increasing phase measurement does not transition until the measurement has gone 20 degrees past 360 degrees. At this point, the recorder signal switches from 20 mA to a signal that corresponds to 20 degrees, or 4.842 mA. A decreasing phase measurement transitions at 0 degrees (4 mA). At this point, the recorder signal switches from 4 mA to a signal that corresponds to 360 degrees, or 19.158 mA.

8.3.4 Delay
Delay is the time for which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active. 8.3.4.1 Alert Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. The Alert time delay is always in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds) for all available proportional values. 8.3.4.2 Danger Danger is the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. 8.3.4.3 100 ms Option The 100 ms (typical) option applies only to the Danger time delay and has the following effects: If the 100 ms option is OFF ( ): You can set the Danger time delay in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds). You can set the Danger time delay for up to 2 available proportional values.

If the 100 ms option is ON ( ): The software sets the Danger time delay to 100 ms.

Section 8 - Radial Vibration Configuration 8.3.6.1 Latching Once a latching alarm is active it will remain active even after the proportional value drops below the configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following methods to reset it: 8.3.6.2 Pressing the reset switch on the front of the Rack Interface Module Closing the contact on the Rack Interface I/O Module Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display Software Issuing the reset command through the Communication Gateway Module Issuing the reset command through the Display Interface Module Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software

Non-latching When a non-latching alarm is active it will go inactive as soon as the proportional value drops below the configured setpoint level.

8.3.7 Transducer Orientation

The Degrees value specifies the location of the transducer on the machine. The range for orientation angle is 0 to 180 degrees left or right as observed from the driver to the driven end of the machine train. Refer to Figure 8-3.

8.3.8 Barriers
Barriers are devices that restrict the amount of energy that can flow into a hazardous area. Select the MTL 796(-) Zener External option or Galvanic Isolators if you will connect external safety barriers between the monitor and the transducer. If your application uses an internal barrier I/O module, select the internal option.

8.4

Alarm Setpoints
This section lists the available setpoints for the Radial Vibration channel. A setpoint is the level within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. The 3500 Monitoring System allows you to set Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints for every proportional value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if 1 or more of the channel proportional values exceed their setpoints. The 3500 Monitoring System also allows you to set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the proportional values. You may select any 2 of the available proportional values for the channel.

NOTE
You can set the setpoint over and under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

Use the Setpoint Configuration screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software (shown in Figure 8-4) to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints for Radial Vibration channels.

8.4.2 Alarm Hysteresis

The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64th of full scale. When a channel exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the setpoint less the amount of hysteresis before it can go out of alarm. Example: Consider a channel configuration with a 010 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6 mils. Full scale is 10 mils 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.

Section 9 - Radial Vibration Verification

9. Radial Vibration Verification

9.1 Introduction
The following sections describe how to test alarms, verify channels, and test OK limits for channels configured as Radial Vibration. You verify the output values and alarm setpoints by varying the input vibration signal level (both peak-to-peak amplitude and dc voltage bias) and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You can configure the Radial Vibration channels for the channel values and alarms shown in Table 9-1. Table 9-1: Radial Vibration Channel Values and Alarms

NOTE
Timed OK Channel Defeat is enabled for Radial Vibration channels. The channel will take 30 seconds to return to the OK state from a Not OK condition.

9.3

Test Alarms
The general test procedure for alarm setpoints is to use a function generator to simulate the vibration and Keyphasor signal. You test the alarm levels by varying the vibration signal (both peak-to-peak amplitude and dc voltage bias) and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You need test only those alarm parameters that are configured and being used. The general test procedure to verify current alarm operation will include simulating a transducer input signal and varying this signal: to exceed over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, to drop below any under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, and to produce a non-alarm condition.

When varying the signal from an alarm condition to a non-alarm condition, you must consider alarm hysteresis. Adjust the signal well below the alarm setpoint to clear the alarm.

10. Thrust Position General Information

Thrust position, a measure of the position or change in position of a rotor in axial direction with respect to the thrust bearing, lets you monitor the wear of the thrust collar of a rotor. In a 3500 Monitoring System, you program the Thrust Position channels in pairs. These channels, depending on configuration, typically condition the input signals into various parameters called proportional values. You can configure Alert setpoints for each active proportional value and can configure Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active proportional values.

105

Section 11 - Thrust Position Configuration

11. Thrust Position Configuration

11.1 Introduction
This section discusses the configuration considerations and the 3500 Rack Configuration Software screens that are associated with the Thrust Position Channel.

11.2

Configuration Considerations
Consider the following items before you configure a Thrust Position channel: 7200 11mm or 14mm, 3000 Proximitor, and 3300 16mm HTPS sensors do not currently support Internal Barrier I/O Modules. Because an extreme Thrust Position movement can exceed the OK limits of the transducer, a transducer Not OK event on a Thrust Position channel will not inhibit alarming on that channel. The configuration software automatically selects the "No Keyphasor" option for this channel type. This channel type requires no Keyphasor signals. The Thrust Direct full-scale range depends on the transducer type. The Zero Position voltage range depends on the direct full-scale range and the upscale direction. You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1 and 2 as Thrust Position and Channels 3 and 4 as Radial Vibration). When you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this proportional value. If you select a Non-standard transducer, the configuration software sets the setpoint OK limits to 1 volt from the selected Upper and Lower OK Limits. There are 2 selections for 3000 Series transducers: 1) 3000(-24V) Proximitor. Select this option when you connect a 3000 Series Proximitor sensor directly to a 3500 monitor. The configuration software will select a default scale factor of 285 mV/mil. You may adjust this value 15%. Note that the monitor does not compensate the buffered transducer signals on the front of the monitors and to the Data Manager and that you should interpret them at 285 mV/mil.
107

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual 2) 3000(-18V) Proximitor. Select this option when you connect a 3000 Series Proximitor sensor directly to a 3500 monitor, but supply power to Proximitor sensor from an external 18-volt source. The configuration software will select a default scale factor of 200 mV/mil. You may adjust this value 15%. Note that the monitor does not compensate buffered transducer signals on the front of the monitors and to the Data Manager and that you should interpret them at 200 mV/mil.

Transducer Jumper Status (on I/O Module)

This returns the position of the transducer jumper on the I/O Module. Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found. for the function of this jumper. 11.3.1.2 CP Mod

Selecting the CP Mod button in the Channel Options Dialog Box allows you to download a Custom channel configuration to the monitor. The software stores the custom configuration data in a Custom Products Modification File. Custom Products Modification files follow the naming convention <modification #.mod>. You must place these files in the \3500\Rackcfg\Mods\ directory. When you
108

Section 11 - Thrust Position Configuration select a CP Mod file, the software displays a window which describes the function of the modification. CP Mod files are available through Bently Nevada LLCs Custom Products Division. Contact your local sales representative for details. 11.3.1.3 Zero Position (Direct)

This value represents the transducer dc voltage that corresponds to the zero indication on the channel's meter scale for the direct proportional value. The amount of adjustment that the software allows depends on the Direct Full Scale Range and the transducer OK limits. To maximize the zero adjustment, gap the transducer as closely as possible to the ideal zero position voltage based on the full-scale range, the transducer scale factor, and the upscale direction. For a mid-scale zero the ideal gap is the center of the range. 11.3.1.4 Adjust Button

This control adjusts the Zero Position voltage. Clicking this button will start a utility that helps you set the gap zero position voltage. Since this utility provides active feedback from the 3500 rack you will require a connection with the rack to use it. Refer to Section 5.5, Adjusting the Scale Factor and Zero Position for more information. 11.3.1.5 Normal Thrust Direction

This control determines whether the normal thrust direction (towards the active thrust bearing) is towards or away from the probe mounting. This field defines whether movement of the rotor toward or away from the thrust probe corresponds to a more positive thrust reading (for example upscale on a bar graph). If you select "Toward Probe", then movement of the rotor toward the thrust probe will cause the thrust position direct proportional value to increase and go upscale on a bar graph. 11.3.1.6 Transducer Jumper Status (on I/O Module)

This value returns the position of the transducer jumper on the I/O Module. Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found., if applicable.

Gap

Gap is the physical distance between the face of a proximity probe tip and the observed surface. Gap expresses this distance in terms of voltage. Standard polarity convention dictates that a decreasing gap results in an increasing (less negative) output signal. The Gap Full Scale Ranges are the same (-24V or Custom) for all transducer types. 11.3.3.3 Clamp Value

This is the value to which a proportional value goes when some condition bypasses or defeats that channel. The selected value can be between the minimum and maximum full-scale range values. The monitor clamps only the values available from the Recorder Outputs, Communication Gateway and Display Interface Module to the specified value when the proportional value is invalid.

110

Section 11 - Thrust Position Configuration 11.3.3.4 Recorder Output This is the proportional value of a channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA recorder. The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full scale range. An increase in the proportional value that a bar graph display would indicate as upscale will increase the current at the recorder output. If the channel is bypassed, the monitor will clamp the output to the selected clamp value (or to 2 mA if you select the 2 mA clamp option).

Delay

Delay is the time for which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active. 11.3.5.1 Alert

Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. The Alert time delay is always in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60) for all available proportional values. 11.3.5.2 Danger

Danger is the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.

Alarm Setpoints
Overview
This section specifies the available setpoints for each type of channel. A setpoint is the level within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. The 3500 Monitoring System allows you to set Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints for every proportional value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if 1 or more of the channel proportional values exceed their setpoints. The 3500 Monitoring System also allows you to set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the proportional values. You may select any 2 of the available proportional values for the channel.

NOTE
You can place the setpoint over and under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

Use the Setpoint Configuration screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software (shown in Figure 11-3) to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints for a Thrust channel.

13.1 Introduction
This section discusses the configuration considerations and the 3500 Rack Configuration Software screens that are associated with the Differential Expansion Channel.

13.2

Configuration Considerations
Consider the following items before you configure a Differential Expansion Channel: None of the differential expansion channel transducers can support discrete Internal Barrier I/O modules. The configuration software automatically selects the "No Keyphasor" option for this channel type. This channel type requires no Keyphasor signals. The Differential Expansion Direct full-scale range depends upon the transducer type. The Zero Position voltage range depends on the direct full-scale range. You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1 and 2 as Differential Expansion and Channels 3 and 4 as Thrust Position). When you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this proportional value. The Latching OK Mode and the Timed OK Channel Defeat options are not compatible. If you select a Non-standard transducer, the configuration software automatically sets the setpoint OK limits to 1 volt from the selected Upper and Lower OK Limits.

Zero Position (Direct)

This value represents the transducer dc voltage that corresponds to the zero indication on the channel's meter scale for the direct proportional value. The amount of adjustment allowed depends on the Direct Full Scale Range and the transducer OK limits. To maximize the zero adjustment, gap the transducer as closely as possible to the ideal zero position voltage based on the full-scale range, the transducer scale factor, and the upscale direction. For a mid-scale zero the ideal gap is the center of the range. 13.3.1.2 Adjust Button

This control adjusts the Zero Position voltage. Clicking this button will start a utility that helps you set the gap zero position voltage. Since this utility provides active feedback from the 3500 rack you will require a connection with the rack to use it.

If you configure a channel for Latching OK, then once the channel has gone Not OK the status will stay Not OK until you use one of the following methods to reset it: 13.3.4.2 Pressing the reset switch on the front of the Rack Interface Module Closing the contact on the Rack Interface I/O Module Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display Software Issuing the reset command through the Communication Gateway Module Issuing the reset command through the Display Interface Module Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software

Non-latching

If you configure a channel for Non-latching OK, then the OK status of that channel will track the defined OK status of the transducer.

13.3.5

Timed OK Channel Defeat

Timed OK Channel Defeat is an option that prevents a channel from returning to an OK state until that channel's transducer has remained in an OK state for the specified period of time. If you enable this option, the software sets the time to 10 seconds. This option protects against false trips that intermittent transducers can cause.

13.3.6

Delay

Delay is the time for which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active. 13.3.6.1 Alert

Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. The Alert time delay is always in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60) for all available proportional values. 13.3.6.2 Danger

Danger is the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. 13.3.6.3 100 ms Option

The 100 ms (typical) option applies only to the Danger time delay and has the following effects: If the 100 ms option is OFF ( ): You can set the Danger time delay at 1-second increments (from 1 to 60). You can set the Danger time delay for all available proportional values.

If the 100 ms option is ON ( ): The configuration software sets the Danger time delay to 100 ms. You can set the Danger time delay for only the primary proportional value.

Alarm Mode

Alert should be the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected value. Danger should be the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected value. You set the Alert and Danger values on the Setpoint screen. 13.3.8.1 Latching

Once a latching alarm is active, it will remain active even after the proportional value drops below the configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following methods to reset it: 13.3.8.2 Pressing the reset switch on the front of the Rack Interface Module Closing the contact on the Rack Interface I/O Module Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display Software Issuing the reset command through the Communication Gateway Module Issuing the reset command through the Display Interface Module Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software

Upscale Direction

This option determines whether the upscale direction is towards or away from the probe mounting. This field defines whether rotor movement toward or away from the differential expansion corresponds to a more positive differential expansion (for example, upscale on a bar graph). If you set this field to "Toward Probe", then movement of the rotor toward the differential expansion probe will cause the differential expansion direct proportional value to increase and go upscale on a bar graph.

13.4

Alarm Setpoints
This section specifies the available setpoints for each type of channel. A setpoint is the level within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. The 3500 Monitoring System allows you to set Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints for every proportional value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if 1 or more of the channel proportional values exceed their setpoints. The 3500 Monitoring System also allows you to set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the proportional values. You may select any 2 of the available proportional values for the channel.

NOTE
You can place the setpoint over and under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

Use the Setpoint Configuration screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software (shown in Figure 13-3) to adjust the Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints.

Alarm Hysteresis

The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64 of full scale. When a channel exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back the below the setpoint less the hysteresis before it can go out of alarm.

129

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual Example: Consider a channel configuration with a 010 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6 mils. Full scale is 10 mils 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.

Test Alarms
The general test procedure for alarm setpoints is to use a power supply to simulate the Thrust Position and Differential Expansion signal. You test the alarm levels by varying the dc voltage and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You need test only those alarm parameters that are configured and being used. The general test procedure to verify current alarm operation will include simulating a transducer input signal and varying this signal: to exceed over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, to drop below any under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, and to produce a non-alarm condition.

15. Eccentricity General Information

The Eccentricity channel type measures the amount of shaft bow. The shaft bow may be due to: 1) fixed mechanical bow, 2) temporary thermal bow, or 3) temporary bow due to any sort of sag or bow at rest, sometimes called gravity bow. In a 3500 Monitoring System, you program the eccentricity channels in pairs. These channels, depending on configuration, typically condition the input signals into various parameters called proportional values. You can configure Alert setpoints for each active proportional value and Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active proportional values.

16. Eccentricity Configuration

16.1 Introduction
This section discusses the configuration considerations and the 3500 Rack Configuration Software screens that are associated with the Eccentricity Channel.

16.2

Configuration Considerations
Consider the following items before you configure an Eccentricity Channel: 7200 11mm or 14mm, 3000 Proximitor, 3300 16mm HTPS, and 3300 RAM sensors do not currently support internal barrier I/O modules. If you select a Keyphasor channel, you must install a Keyphasor Module in the rack. The full-scale options that each proportional value allows depend on the transducer type. 7200 11mm, 14mm, or 3300 16mm HTPS sensors do not currently support external barriers. You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1 and 2 as Eccentricity and Channels 3 and 4 as Thrust Position). When you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this proportional value. Selecting No Keyphasor on the 4-Channel Monitor screen will disable the peak-to-peak proportional value. The Latching OK Mode and the Timed OK Channel Defeat options are not compatible. If you select a Non-standard transducer, then the software sets the setpoint OK limits to 1 volt from the selected Upper and Lower OK Limits.

16.3

Configuration Options
This section describes the options available on the Eccentricity Channel configuration screen.

This value represents the transducer dc voltage that corresponds to the zero indication on the channel's meter scale for the direct proportional value. The amount of adjustment that the software allows depends on the Direct Full Scale Range and the transducer OK limits. To maximize the zero adjustment, gap the probe as closely as possible to the center gap voltage that is specified in

Direct

This value is the instantaneous eccentricity value. You can display the direct value in 1 of 3 ways: For shaft rotative speeds greater than 600 rpm, the direct value is the average distance between the probe tip and the shaft and the software displays its value in a way similar to that for a thrust measurement. The software displays this direct measurement only when you enable Direct Channel Above 600 RPM. For shaft rotative speeds between 600 rpm and the rpm setting for Instantaneous Crossover, the direct measurement consists of 2 values: a maximum value and a minimum value relative to a zero reference. These 2 direct values are called Direct Max and Direct Min. For shaft rotative speeds less than the rpm setting for Instantaneous Crossover, Direct Max and Direct Min are equal and the direct measurement consists of an instantaneous measurement relative to a zero reference. This type of direct measurement is called instantaneous gap. Table 16-2: Direct Full-Scale Ranges by Transducer Type

Gap

This value is the physical distance between the face of a proximity probe tip and the observed surface. Gap expresses this distance in terms of voltage. Standard polarity convention dictates that a decreasing gap results in an increasing (less negative) output signal. The Gap Full Scale Ranges are the same (-24 Vdc and Custom) for all transducer types. 16.3.3.4 Clamp Value

The Clamp Value is the value to which a proportional value goes when that channel or proportional value is bypassed or defeated (for example, when the transducer experiences a problem). The selected value can be between the minimum and maximum full-scale range values. The system clamps only the values available from the Recorder Outputs, Communication Gateway and Display Interface Module to the specified value when the proportional value is invalid. 16.3.3.5 Recorder Output

This value is the proportional value of a channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA recorder. The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full-scale range. An increase in the proportional value that a bar graph display would indicate as upscale will increase the current at the recorder output. If the channel is bypassed, then the monitor will clamp the output to the selected clamp value (or to 2 mA if you select the 2 mA clamp option).

16.3.4

Delay

Delay is the time for which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level or below an under alarm level before the monitor declares an alarm as active. 16.3.4.1 Alert

Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. The Alert time delay is always set in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60) for all available proportional values.

149

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual 16.3.4.2 Danger Danger is the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen. 16.3.4.3 100 ms Option

The 100 ms (typical) option applies only to the Danger time delay and has the following effects: If the 100 ms option is OFF ( ): You can set the Danger time delay in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60). You can set the Danger time delay for any 2 available proportional values.

If the 100 ms option is ON ( ): The software sets the Danger time delay to 100 ms. You can set the Danger time delay for only the primary proportional value.

16.3.5

Instantaneous Crossover

Instantaneous crossover is the shaft-rotative speed value at which the direct eccentricity measurement changes from Direct Max/Direct Min to instantaneous gap. The value for Instantaneous Crossover must be between 1 and 10 rpm.

16.3.9

Barriers

Barriers are devices that restrict the amount of energy that can flow into a hazardous area. Select the MTL 796(-) Zener External option or Galvanic Isolators if you will connect external safety barriers between the monitor and the transducer. If your application uses an Internal Barrier I/O Module, select the internal option.

16.3.10 OK Mode
16.3.10.1 Latching If you configure a channel for Latching OK, then once the channel has gone Not OK the status will stay Not OK until you use one of the following methods to reset it: Pressing the reset switch on the front of the Rack Interface Module Closing the contact on the Rack Interface I/O Module Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display Software Issuing the reset command through the Communication Gateway Module Issuing the reset command through the Display Interface Module Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software

16.3.10.2 Non-latching If you configure a channel for Non-latching OK, then the OK status of that channel will track the defined OK status of the transducer.

16.3.11 Timed OK Channel Defeat

Timed OK Channel Defeat is an option that prevents a channel from returning to an OK status until the transducer for that channel has remained in an OK state for the specified period of time. If you enable this option, the software sets the time to 60 seconds. The option protects against false trips that intermittent transducers can cause.

16.4

Alarm Setpoints
This section specifies the available setpoints for each type of channel. A setpoint is the level within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. The 3500 Monitoring System allows you to set Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints for every

154

Section 16 - Eccentricity Configuration proportional value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if 1 or more of the channel proportional values exceed their setpoints. The 3500 Monitoring System also allows you to set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the proportional values. You may select any 2 of the available proportional values for the channel.

Application Advisory
You can place the setpoint over and under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

Use the Setpoint Configuration screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software (shown in Figure 16-3) to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints for an Eccentricity channel.

16.4.2

Alarm Hysteresis

The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64th of Full Scale. When a channel exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the setpoint less the hysteresis before it can go out of alarm. Example: Consider a channel configuration with a 010 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6 mils. Full scale is 10 mils 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.

Section 17 - Eccentricity Verification

17. Eccentricity Verification

17.1 Introduction
The following sections describe how to test alarms, verify channels, and test OK limits for channels configured as Eccentricity. You verify the output values and alarm setpoints by varying the input Eccentricity signal level (both peak to peak amplitude and dc voltage bias) and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You can configure Eccentricity channels for the channel values and alarms shown in Table 17-1: Table 17-1: Eccentricity Channel Values and Alarms
Channel Values Peak-to-Peak Gap Direct Over Alarms X X X X X Under Alarms

17.2

Test Equipment and Software Setup

You can use the following test equipment and software setup as the initial setup that all the Eccentricity channel verification procedures (Test Alarms, Verify Channels, and Test OK Limits) require.

DANGER
High voltage present. Contact with high voltages could cause shock, burns, or death. Do not touch exposed wires or terminals.

159

Verification Screen Setup

1. Run the 3500 Rack Configuration Software on the test computer. 2. Choose Verification from the Utilities menu. 3. Choose the proper Slot number and Channel number 4. Click on the Verify button.

Note that if the Timed OK Channel Defeat is enabled, the OK LED will not come on immediately after you connect the test equipment. A channel will take 60 seconds to return to the OK status from Not OK. If the OK mode is configured for latching, press the RESET button on the Rack Interface Module (RIM) to return to the OK status.

17.3

Test Alarms
The general procedure for testing alarm setpoints is to use a function generator and power supply to simulate the eccentricity signal. You test the alarm levels by varying the output from the test equipment and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You need test only those alarm parameters that are configured and being used. The general test procedure to verify current alarm operation will include simulating a transducer input signal and varying this signal to exceed over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, to drop below any under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, and to produce a non-alarm condition.

Application Advisory
The Keyphasor signal must be triggering and have a valid rpm value for you to check this parameter.

1. Disconnect the field wiring from the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O module. 2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in Section 17.2, Test Equipment and Software Setup. 3. Calculate the full-scale and bottom-scale values. You can calculate these values in the following way: Full / Bottom Scale Value = Zero Position Voltage (Transducer Scale Factor Scale Range)
167

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual Full Scale = (Zero Position Voltage) - (Transducer Scale Factor Top Meter Scale) Bottom Scale = (Zero Position Voltage) + (Transducer Scale Factor ABS (Bottom Meter Scale))

The Zero Position Voltage is the voltage input that will cause the reading on the bar graph display and the Current Value Box to be zero. The Zero Position Voltage value is displayed in the Z.P. Volts box above each channel value bar graph. The Transducer Scale Factor is displayed in the Scale Factor Box on the Verification screen. Example 1: Transducer scale factor = 200 mV/mil = 0.200 V/mil Scale range = 20-0-20 mil Zero Position Voltage = -9.75 Vdc Full-Scale Value Bottom-Scale Value = (-9.75 Vdc) - (0.200 V/mil 20 mil) = -13.75 Vdc = (-9.75 Vdc) + (0.200 V/mil 20 mil) = -5.75 Vdc

Example 2: Transducer scale factor = 7,874 mV/mm = 0.007874 V/m Meter scale range = 200-0-200 m Zero Position Voltage = -9.75 Vdc Full-Scale Value Bottom-Scale Value = (-9.75 Vdc) - (0.007874 V/m 200 m) = -11.32 Vdc = (-9.75 Vdc) + (0.007874 V/m 200 m) = -8.18 Vdc

4. Adjust the power supply voltage to match the voltage displayed in the Z.P. Volts Box. The Direct bar graph display and the Current Value Box should read 0 mil (0 mm) 1%. 5. Adjust the power supply voltage for full scale. Verify that the Max value in the Current Value Box (the value on the left of the divider bar) is reading 1% of full scale. 6. Adjust the power supply voltage for bottom scale. Verify that the Min value in the Current Value Box (the value on the right of the divider bar) is reading 1% of bottom scale.

Section 17 - Eccentricity Verification 7. If the reading does not meet specifications, verify that the input signal is correct. If the monitor still does not meet specifications or fails any other part of this test, go to Section 5.6, If a Channel Fails a Verification Test. 8. Disconnect the power supply and multimeter and reconnect the field wiring to the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O module. Verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK relay energizes. Press the RESET switch on the Rack Interface Module (RIM) to reset the OK LED. 9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all configured channels.

17.5

Test OK Limits
The general procedure for testing OK limits is to input a dc voltage and adjust it above the Upper OK Limit and below the Lower OK Limit. This will produce a channel Not OK condition and cause the OK Relay to change state (de-energize). The Verification screen on the test computer displays the Upper and Lower OK Limits. 1. Disconnect the field wiring from the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O module. 2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in Section 17.2, Test Equipment and Software Setup. 3. Bypass all other configured channels. 4. Adjust the power supply voltage to -7.00 Vdc. 5. Press the RESET switch on the Rack Interface Module (RIM). Verify that the monitor OK LED is on and that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box of the Verification screen reads OK.

Application Advisory
If the Danger Bypass has been activated, then the BYPASS LED will be on. All other channels in the rack must be OK or bypassed for the relay to be energized.

6. Verify that the OK relay on the Rack Interface I/O Module indicates OK (energized). See the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module Operation and Maintenance Manual (part number 129768-01).

Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box reads Not OK and that the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that the Verification screen displays an Upper OK Limit voltage that is equal to or more positive than the input voltage. 8. Decrease the power supply voltage (less negative) to -7.00 Vdc. 9. Press the RESET switch on the RIM. Verify that the OK LED comes back on, the OK relay energizes, and the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box reads OK. 10. Gradually decrease the power supply voltage (less negative) until the OK LED just goes off (lower limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box reads Not OK and that the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that the Verification screen displays a Lower OK Limit voltage that is equal to or more negative than the input voltage. 11. Increase the power supply voltage (more negative) to -7.00 Vdc. 12. Press the RESET switch on the RIM. Verify that the OK LED comes back on, the OK relay energizes, and the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box reads OK. 13. If you cannot verify any configured OK limit, go to Section 5.6, If a Channel Fails a Verification Test. 14. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect the field wiring to the PWR, COM, and SIG channel 1 terminals on the monitor I/O module. Press the RESET switch on the RIM and verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK relay energizes. 15. Repeat steps 1 through 14 for all configured channels. 16.

18. REBAM Channel General Information

Major features of the Rolling Element Bearing Activity Monitor (REBAM) channel type are: Using a high-pass filter to implement a spike region to monitor the bearing's condition. Using a bandpass filter centered about the element pass frequency to monitoring the loading of the bearing. Using a low-pass filter setting that relates to the nominal machine speed and provides 1X amplitude and phase information to monitor rotor-related issues such as balance and alignment. Adjusting the filter settings based on the current machine speed to monitor variable-speed machines.

In a 3500 Monitoring System, you program REBAM channels. These channels, depending on configuration, typically condition the input signals into various parameters called proportional values. These values, together with a Keyphasor signal, provide phase measurements. The channels also provide setpoints that you can use for alarming. You can configure Alert setpoints for each active proportional value and Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active proportional values.

173

Section 19 - REBAM Configuration

19. REBAM Channel Configuration

19.1 Introduction
This section discusses the configuration considerations and the 3500 Rack Configuration Software screens that are associated with the REBAM channel.

19.2

Configuration Considerations
Consider the following items before configuring a REBAM Channel: When you select "No Keyphasor", you cannot enable the 1X Amplitude (Ampl) and Phase Lag values. When you select "No Keyphasor", you cannot enable the filter Stepping/Tracking feature. If you select a Keyphasor channel, then you must install a Keyphasor module in the rack. You can enable the 1X Phase value only if you configure the selected Keyphasor channel for an events per revolution value equal to 1. If you select a Non-standard transducer, the software sets the setpoint OK limits to 1 volt from the selected Upper and Lower OK Limits. You may set setpoints only on enabled proportional values. You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1 and 2 as REBAM channels and Channels 3 and 4 as Thrust Position). Some configurations, typically those for the higher speed machines, will allow you to enable only 1 channel of a channel pair. Refer to Section 21.3, Signal Conditioning. When you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this proportional value. The REBAM channel type does not support TMR configurations.

19.3

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual

19.4.1

Trip Multiply

The Trip Multiply value temporarily increases the alarm (Alert and Danger) setpoint values. Manual (operator) action normally applies this value during startup to allow a machine to pass through high vibration speed ranges without monitor alarm indications. Such high vibration speed ranges may include system resonances and other normal transient vibrations.

19.4.2

Transducer Jumper Status (on I/O Module)

This value returns the position of the Transducer Jumper on the I/O Module. Refer to Section Error! Reference source not found., Error! Reference source not found., if applicable.

19.4.3

Enable

An enabled proportional value specifies that the channel will provide the value ( enabled, disabled). 19.4.3.1 Spike

Spike is a high-pass filtered value that contains the high frequency content of the input signal. This value is generally associated with the condition of the bearing. 19.4.3.2 Element

Element is a band-passed filtered value that contains the signal content of the Element Pass Frequency (Outer Race). This value is generally associated with the loading of the bearing. 19.4.3.3 Rotor

Rotor is a low-pass filtered value that applications generally use to monitor rotor-related issues, such as misalignment and unbalance issues. 19.4.3.4 Direct

Direct is wide-band data that represents the overall peak-to-peak vibration. 19.4.3.5 Gap

Gap is the physical distance between the face of a proximity probe tip and the observed surface. Gap expresses this distance in terms of voltage. Standard polarity convention dictates that a decreasing gap results in an increasing (less negative) output signal. 19.4.3.6 1X Ampl

In a complex vibration signal, 1X Ampl denotes the amplitude component that occurs at the rotor rotative speed frequency.
178

Section 19 - REBAM Configuration 19.4.3.7 1X Phase Lag In a complex vibration signal, 1X Phase Lag denotes the phase lag component that occurs at the rotor rotative speed frequency. 19.4.3.8 Full Scale Range

All proportional values except Gap support a full scale value. If the desired full scale value is not in the pull down list, then you can choose the custom selection. The full scale range for Gap is always 0 to 24 Vdc. The values in Table 19-1 are the same for all transducer types. Table 19-1: REBAM Proportional Value Full-Scale Ranges

19.4.3.9

Clamp Value

The Clamp Value is the value to which a proportional value goes when that channel or proportional value is bypassed or defeated (for example, when a transducer experiences a problem). The selected value can be between the minimum and maximum full-scale range values, although 1X and 2X Phase Lag have available values of 0 to 359 degrees. The monitor clamps only the values available from the Recorder Outputs, Communication Gateway and Display Interface Module to the specified value when the proportional value is invalid. 19.4.3.10 Recorder Output This is the proportional value of a channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA recorder. The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full scale range. An increase in the proportional value that a bar graph display would as upscale will increase the current at the recorder output. You cannot select 1X Phase Lag as a recorder output.

179

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual

19.4.4

Delay

Delay is the time for which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level or below an under alarm level before the monitor declares an alarm as active. 19.4.4.1 Alert

Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen and adjust the time delay in 1-second increments. The minimum value that the configuration software allows depends on the current configuration of the REBAM channel. 19.4.4.2 Danger

Danger is the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen and adjust the time delay in 0.5-second increments. The minimum value that the configuration software allows depends on the current configuration of the REBAM channel. 267 ms option: The 267 ms option applies only to the Danger time delay. The value of 267 ms is based on the current configuration of the REBAM channel and has the following results: If the 267 ms option is OFF ( ): You can set the Danger time delay in 0.5-second increments (up to 400). You can set the Danger setpoints for up to 2 proportional values.

If the 267 ms option is ON ( ): The software sets the Danger time delay to 267 ms. You can set Danger setpoints for only 1 proportional value.

Alert should be the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected value. Danger should be the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected value. You set the Alert and Danger values on the Setpoint screen. 19.4.6.1 Latching

Once a latching alarm is active it will remain active even after the proportional value drops below the configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following methods to reset it: 19.4.6.2 Pressing the reset switch on the front of the Rack Interface Module Closing the contact on the Rack Interface I/O Module Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display Software Issuing the reset command through the Communication Gateway Module Issuing the reset command through the Display Interface Module Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software

Non-latching

When a non-latching alarm is active it will go inactive as soon as the proportional value drops below the configured setpoint level.

Alarm Setpoints
This section lists the available setpoints for the REBAM channel. A setpoint is the level within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. The 3500 Monitoring System allows you to set Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints for every proportional value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if 1 or more of the channel proportional values exceeds its setpoints. The 3500 Monitoring System also allows you to set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the proportional values. You may select any 2 of the available proportional values for the channel.

Application Advisory
You can place the setpoint over and under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

19.8.2

Alarm Hysteresis

The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64th of Full Scale. When a channel exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the setpoint less the hysteresis before it can go out of alarm. Example: Consider a channel configuration with a 010 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6 mils. Full scale is 10 mils 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.

191

Section 20 - REBAM Verification

20. REBAM Channel Verification

20.1 Introduction
The following sections describe how to test alarms, verify channels, and test OK limits for channels configured as REBAM channels. You verify the output values and alarm setpoints by varying the input vibration signal level (both peak to peak amplitude and dc voltage bias) and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer.

20.2

Test Equipment and Software Setup

You can use the following test equipment and software setup as the initial set up that all the REBAM channel verification procedures (Test Alarms, Verify Channels, and Test OK Limits) require.

DANGER
High voltage present. Contact with high voltages could cause shock, burns, or death. Do not touch exposed wires or terminals.

Application Advisories
1. Tests will exceed alarm setpoint levels and activate alarms. This could result in a relay contact state change. 2. Disconnecting field wiring will cause a Not OK condition.

20.2.1

Test Equipment Setup

Connect the power supply, function generator, Keyphasor multiplier/divider, and multimeter to COM and SIG of channel 1 with the polarity as shown in Figure 20-1 to simulate the transducer signal. Note that 1X Amplitude and Phase require the equipment shown inside the dashed lines.

Test Alarms
The general procedure for testing alarm setpoints is to use a function generator to simulate the vibration and Keyphasor signals. You test the alarm levels by varying the vibration signal (both peak-to-peak amplitude and dc voltage bias) and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You need test only those alarm parameters that are configured and being used. The general test procedure to verify current alarm operation will include simulating a transducer input signal and varying this signal: to exceed over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, to drop below any under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, and

Test OK Limits
The general approach for testing OK limits is to input a dc voltage and adjust it above the Upper OK Limit and below the Lower OK Limit. This will cause a channel Not OK condition and the OK Relay to change state (de-energize). The Verification screen displays the Upper and Lower OK Limits on the test computer. 1. Disconnect the field wiring PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O module. 2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in Section 20.2, Test Equipment and Software Setup. 3. Bypass all other configured channels. 4. Adjust the power supply voltage to -7.00 Vdc. 5. Press the RESET switch on the Rack Interface Module (RIM). Verify that the monitor OK LED is on and that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box of the Verification screen reads OK. 6. Verify that the OK relay on the Rack Interface I/O Module indicates OK (is energized). Refer to the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module Operation and Maintenance Manual (part number 129768-01). 7. Increase the power supply voltage (more negative) until the OK LED just goes off (upper limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box reads Not OK and that the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that the Upper OK Limit voltage on the Verification screen is equal to or more positive than the input voltage. 8. Decrease the power supply voltage (less negative) to -7.00 Vdc. 9. Press the RESET switch on the RIM. Verify that the OK LED comes back on, the OK relay energizes, and the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status box reads OK. 10. Gradually decrease the power supply voltage (less negative) until the OK LED just goes off (lower limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line
215

3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual in the Channel Status box reads Not OK and that the OK Relay indicates Not OK.
