3300 System Compatibility Guide Bently Nevada

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.   2.1 Configuration Definitions 2.1.1 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. 2.1.2 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. 2.1.3 SDI/DDI System This generation of the 3300 System uses 3300/03 System Monitor.  The System Monitor, Power Supply, and Backplane are all SDI/DDI-compatible, with the System Monitor configured with or without internal SDI/DDI communications and the firmware in each of the monitors is 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™ 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. 2.1.4 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.

System Identification The following sections discuss how to determine the configuration of your 3300 System.   You may use the following steps as a guideline to identify your monitoring system. 

• Examine the front panels of the System Monitor and Power Supply and check the Power Input Module on the back of the rack.  Use the information in Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 to determine your system configuration.

• If there is any question as to the system configuration after completing step 1, use Section 2.3 to identify the backplane.  The backplane determines whether the rack is an SDI/DDI System rack or an Original System rack. Note: The new backplane cannot be used with the old power supplies and the old backplane   cannot be used with the new power supplies.  They BOTH must be updated at the same time. 

• Use Section 2.4 to determine the firmware identity on individual 3300 monitors.  The firmware in some early 3300 monitors is not compatible with newer generation data interfaces (SDIX/DDIX, TDIX, TDXnet™ communication processors or TDe).  Similarly, some new multi-channel monitors are not compatible with older external Communications Processors.  See Section 3 for compatibility information.

Original System 

• Consists of the 3300/01-XX System Monitor, 3300/10 or /11 Power Supply and one of the Power Input Modules shown in Figure 1. 

• If necessary, see Section 2.3.1 to identify an original backplane. 

• See Appendix A for hardware upgrade kit part numbers and/or contact your Bently Nevada representative to upgrade a system.

• See Table 4 in Section 3.3 for information on compatibility with communication processors and software for this system configuration.

Mixed System 

• Consists of an original system with a 3300/03-01 System Monitor, a 3300/10 or /11 or /14 Power Supply, an original backplane, and one of the original Power Input Modules shown in Figure 2.
