3500/22M Transient Data Interface Module

Product Datasheet
Bently Nevada* Asset Condition Monitoring
Description
The 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI) is the interface
between the 3500 monitoring system and compatible
software (System 1* Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic
software and 3500 System Configuration software). The TDI
combines the function of a 3500/20 Rack Interface Module
(RIM) with the data collection capability of a communication
processor such as TDXnet.

The TDI resides in the slot adjacent to the power supplies of a

3500 rack. It interfaces with M series monitors (3500/40M,
3500/42M, etc.) to continuously collect steady state and
transient dynamic (waveform) data and pass this data through
an Ethernet link to the host software. Refer to the
Compatibility section at the end of this document for more
information.
Static data capture capability is standard with the TDI.
However, using an optional Channel Enabling Disk will allow
the TDI to capture dynamic and high-resolution transient data
as well. The TDI incorporates the communication processor
function within the 3500 rack.
Although the TDI provides certain functions common to the
entire rack, it is not part of the critical monitoring path and
has no effect on the proper, normal operation of the overall
monitor system for automatic machinery protection. Every
3500 rack requires one TDI or RIM, which always occupies Slot
1 (next to the power supplies).
