System Essentials

Rack Systems

Rack, Power Supply, Rack Interface Modules and Data Acquisition Hardware

These 3500 System Essentials provide the conditioned power needed to drive your rack system and the connectivity choices for 3500 rack configuration software, external communications processors or direct connectivity to on-line condition monitoring software like System 1®.
 

Product Directory

System Rack
3500/05 System Rack
Available in a traditional 19-inch EIA rack-mount configuration, as well as an innovative bulkhead-mount version with front-access wiring, the system rack holds all 3500 modules. A half-width mini-rack is also available when space is at a premium.
Rack Power Supply
3500/15 Power Supply
Accepts 85 to 250 Vac 50/60 Hz, or 20 to 140 Vdc input power, and provides conditioned power through the rack backplane for all installed 3500 modules.
3500/20 Rack Interface Module
3500/20 Rack Interface Module
The Rack Interface Module (RIM) is the primary interface to the 3500 rack and its installed modules. It provides connection to 3500 configuration software and communication processors. One (1) RIM is required in each 3500 rack.
3500/22M Rack Interface Module
3500/22M Rack Interface Module with TDI Data Acquisition Hardware
This Rack Interface Module (RIM) provides functions similar to the 3500/20, but incorporates our TDI communications processor, providing full transient, steady-state, or static-only data acquisition and direct connectivity to our System 1 software. It is used in place of the 3500/20 and is recommended whenever immediate, or future, online condition monitoring is desired. Its innovative design consumes no additional rack space and replaces the need for one (or more) external communications processors such as TDXnet™. It is compatible with all M-series 3500 racks.
TDXnet™
TDXnet™
This communications processor gathers data from machinery protection systems for up to 24 channels in parallel using high-speed sampling suitable for steady-state and startup/shutdown machinery conditions. It uses Ethernet communications for fast data transfer between itself and the host software.
TDIX
TDIX
This communications processor is the predecessor to TDXnet, performing many of the same functions. However, it uses serial communications rather than Ethernet.
DDIX/SDIX
DDIX/SDIX

This communications processor does not collect data from all channels in parallel, as with TDI, TDXnet, or TDIX; nor does it collect data at user-configured RPM intervals such as during startup/shutdown conditions for transient data analysis. It is useful for critical machinery that typically runs at steady-state conditions and for which transient (startup/shutdown) data is not desired.
