3500/22M 288055-01 3500/22M Transient Data Interface

Used to place 3500 rack in either “RUN” mode or “PROGRAM” mode. RUN mode allows for normal operation of
the rack and locks out configuration changes.
PROGRAM mode allows for normal operation of the rack and also allows for local or
remote rack configuration. The key can be removed from the rack in either position, allowing
the switch to remain in either the RUN or PROGRAM position.
Locking the switch in the RUN position allows you to restrict unauthorized rack
reconfiguration. Locking the switch in PROGRAM position allows remote reconfiguration of a rack at any time.

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).
