3300 System Compatibility Guide 3300/20-12-01-03-00-00

System Identification

This section should be used to help define and identify each of the four configurations of the 3300 Monitoring System Bently Nevada LLC supports.  The configurations are defined by the rack (backplane version), Power Supply, System Monitor, and firmware installed in individual monitors.  The four possible 3300 configurations are explained below.

Use Table 2 on the next page to clarify exactly which 3300 configuration you may have.  

Configuration Definitions

Original System

This is the first generation 3300 System.  This system may have serial communication capability, but it predates and is not compatible with the internal data interfaces (TDe or SDI/DDI) and most recent external communication processors (SDIX/DDIX, TDIX and TDXnet™ CPs).  The Original System can, however, communicate with a Digital Control System (DCS) or with DM2000 Software through a DDM, PDM, or TDM CP.

These systems can be upgraded to the Mixed System, TDe or SDI/DDI System configuration, depending on your interface requirements.

Mixed System

This is the Original System with a 3300/03-01 System Monitor that does not have internal SDI/DDI capabilities but can interface to a DDM, TDM, PDM CP.  In order to interface to an SDIX/DDIX, TDIX or TDXnet™ CP, the firmware in each monitor must be SDI/DDI compatible.

NOTE: The System Monitor must be configured correctly with jumpers depending upon the external Communication Processor that is being used.  The DDM, TDM, and PDM use a different static interface than the SDIX/DDIX, TDIX, and TDXnet™ CPs.  Refer to the System Monitor Manual (BN Document 89604, table 1) for specific jumper configurations. Table 3 in Section 2.4 lists the SDI/DDI compatible monitor firmware part numbers. The Mixed System can be upgraded to an SDI/DDI System, by changing the backplane, power supply, and the firmware in each of the monitors.

SDI/DDI System

NOTE: The System Monitor must be configured correctly with jumpers depending upon the external Communication Processor that is being used.  The DDM, TDM, and PDM use a different static interface than the SDIX/DDIX, TDIX, and TDXnet™ communication processors.  Refer to the System Monitor Manual (BN Document 89604, table 1) for specific jumper configurations. The SDI/DDI System is compatible with the following Bently Nevada Communications Processors and monitoring software packages: DDM CP, TDM CP, SDIX/DDIX CP, TDIX CP, TDXnet™ CP, DDM/TDM Software, DDM2/TDM2 Software, System 64 Software, and DM2000 Software.

TDe System

This generation of the 3300 System uses 3300/02 System Monitor.  The Power Supply, Backplane and firmware in each of the monitors must be SDI/DDI compatible. The TDe System is not compatible with any external Communications Processors as they are not required for TDe to directly interface to System 1® Software.
