The 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI) module is designed as a communication interface between the 3500 monitoring system and compatible software, such as System 1 Condition Monitoring and 3500 System Configuration software.

Key Features:

• Functionality:
  • Combines the functions of a 3500/20 Rack Interface Module (RIM) with the data collection capability of communication processors like TDXnet.
  • Collects both steady-state and transient dynamic (waveform) data continuously, sending it through an Ethernet link to the host software.
• Data Capture:
  • Static data capture is built-in.
  • Dynamic and high-resolution transient data can be captured with the use of an optional Channel Enabling Disk.
• Installation:
  • The TDI is installed in Slot 1 of the 3500 rack, next to the power supplies, and communicates with M-series monitors like 3500/40M and 3500/42M.
• Non-Critical Role:
  • While it performs important data collection functions, the TDI is not part of the critical monitoring path, meaning it doesn’t affect the core operations of the machinery protection system.

Requirements:

• Slot: Every 3500 rack requires either a TDI or RIM to function correctly.
