1. System Description
Chapter Overview This chapter provides:
• an overview of the FieldMonitor Machinery Protection System
• a description of the components of the system
• the basics of Flexbus communication
1.1 System
Overview
The FieldMonitor system is a distributed vibration monitor system that
physically and functionally integrates with distributed I/O,
programmable logic controllers, distributed control systems, and PC-
based control systems. The system is used with the Allen-Bradley Flex
I/O or Flex Ex distributed I/O products and communicates over
industry standard networks using Allen-Bradley and third-party Flex
I/O network adapters or Flex Ex serial bus isolator and network
adapters.
A distributed vibration protection system is an alternative
to larger rack-based systems or vibration transmitters
when…
• the vibration protection system integrates with a
machine control system that uses distributed I/O over
appropriate networks,
• vibration parameters display on the Human Machine
Interface (HMI) for the machine control system,
• you want local, “on-skid” mounting,
• it is more efficient and economical to connect vibration
points to a distributed FieldMonitor systems than to wire
all points to a central rack-based system,
• the application can benefit from proper connectivity to
diagnostic and machinery management systems,
reduction or elimination of field wiring, and the integrity
and robustness of a system possessing self-check and
self-contained alarm capabilities, or
• protection over a network is acceptable.

FieldMonitor Machinery Protection System Operation Manual

Distributed vibration monitoring saves money by
reducing installation and wiring costs in the following
ways:
• smaller footprint reduces cabinet space and enclosure
size
• “on-skid” mounting and internal Proximitor modules
eliminate field wiring and reduce the number of
housings
• a network cable may be the only wiring necessary
between a central control room and the machine
• machine OEMs and packagers who use modular
manufacturing techniques can reduce cost by
completely installing, wiring, and testing the vibration
system
• break down consists of disconnecting the network cable
and power thereby leaving the vibration system intact
and eliminating expensive field wiring and
troubleshooting
• the 1701/06 Isolator Terminal Base (ITB) uses internal
galvanically isolated safety barriers which eliminate the
need for external safety barriers and an Intrinsically Safe
Earth connection.
FieldMonitor systems are nodes on a field bus network. Each
node consists of an Allen-Bradley or third-party Flex
network adapter, a number of Flex modules depending on
the application, and the Bently Nevada FieldMonitor system.
The Flex network adaptors support a continually expanding
variety of networks. Some examples are:
• ControlNet
• Remote I/O
• DeviceNet adapters
• Profibus DP
• Modbus® adapters
• Interbus S
• Ethernet TCP/IP
Appendix F lists the Flex network adapters that Bently
Nevada has tested with the FieldMonitor system.

Section 1 - System Description

This manual does not cover selection, layout, installation,
and configuration of the network.
There are two types of FieldMonitor systems, each of which
uses a different terminal base. Terminal bases are the
mounting platform and wiring termination point for the
FieldMonitor system. The 1701/05 Terminal Base (TB) is used
for most applications that do not require intrinsic safety and
the 1701/06 Isolator Terminal Base (ITB) is used for
applications that do require intrinsic safety.

FieldMonitor System Overview
Each FieldMonitor System consists of the following components:
• a terminal base
• a power supply
• an optional FieldMonitor Management Interface Module
(FMIM) communication processor that provides the
monitor information to a host computer
• an optional Keyphasor Module (an internal Proximitor
module or a transducer I/O module that interfaces to an
external Proximitor sensor, the 1701 system supports
only one Keyphasor transducer per terminal base)

FieldMonitor Product Overview using the 1701/06 Isolator erminal Base:
The network adapter manages communication between
other devices on the network and the 1701 modules
installed in the 1701 terminal base. The adapter
communicates with the1701 modules over Flexbus, the Flex
I/O backplane bus. The four monitor slots are addressable
by Flexbus.

1.2.1 About Configuration Software
FieldMonitor configuration software is used to build the data
tables for the monitors. This software also provides a
convenient Windows user interface that allows you to
select configuration choices from menus and to go online to
monitor values.
If you are using FieldMonitor configuration software then
the information in Chapter 7 and Appendices A, B, C, and D
is for reference only. If you cannot use FieldMonitor
configuration software then you must use your PLC
software to build the data table for each monitor from the
information in the manual sections mentioned above.
Available FieldMonitor configuration software is:

1.2.2 About the 1701/05 erminal Base ( B) and the 1701/06 Isolator
erminal Base (I B)
The 1701/05 Terminal Base is suitable for all applications
where transducers are installed in non-hazardous, Division
2, or Zone 2 areas. The 1701/05 Terminal Base can also be
used with external safety barriers.
The 1701/06 Isolator Terminal Base (ITB) is required for
applications where intrinsically safe transducers are
installed in Division 1 or Zone 0/1 hazardous areas. The
1701/06 ensures intrinsic safety by using a galvanically
isolated safety barrier (isolator) that is installed directly into
the ITB.
The terminal base provides:
• the mounting platform for the system
• slots for up to four monitors allowing up to 8 channels of
monitoring
• slots for up to four internal or external transducer I/O
modules (one required for each monitor)
• slots for up to four isolators (1701/06 ITB only, (one
required for each transducer I/O module)
• an FMIM slot
• a Keyphasor slot (one Keyphasor module per terminal
base, channel A only)
• the power supply slot
• I/O terminations
• the Flexbus connection
• 9 coaxial connectors for buffered dynamic signals from
the 8 monitor channels and the Keyphasor output
• a dynamic connector to connect the 8 buffered dynamic
signals to a “patch panel” for easy diagnostic access.

1701/05 erminal Base plan view with modules removed
When you use the 1701/05 TB, you must install monitors
and transducer I/O modules or internal Proximitor modules
in pairs. Field wiring termination, buffered outputs, and the
Keyphasor output terminals are identified by slot number
and channel, where channels are identified as A or B.
• Install monitors in numbered slots with their associated
I/O or internal Proximitor module in the corresponding
adjacent slot preceded by a “T”. For example, a monitor
in slot 2 has its associated I/O in slot T2.
• Install monitors in slots 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• Install transducer I/Os or internal transducers used with
monitors in slots T2, T3, T4, and T5.
• Install the FMIM in slot 1K.
• Install an internal Proximitor sensor or transducer I/O
module for the TB’s single Keyphasor transducer in slot
T1K.
• If an internal transducer module such as a dual
Proximitor module is used, connect the proximity probe
cables to the connectors on the top of the internal
transducer module rather than to the I/O terminals on
the terminal base.
