 1.  General Information

1. General Information
The Eccentricity channel type measures the amount of shaft bow. The shaft bow may be due to:
1. fixed mechanical bow
2. temporary thermal bow
3. temporary bow due to any sort of sag or bow at rest, sometimes called gravity bow
In a 3500 or 3500 ENCORE Monitoring System, you program the eccentricity channels in pairs.
These channels, depending on configuration, typically condition the input signals into various
parameters called "static values." You can configure Alert setpoints for each active static value
and Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active static values.

1.1 ENCORE Eccentricity Screen Displays

Eccentricity channels have 4 screens. Screens 1 through 3 are displayed in the Figure. Screen 4
contains the channels' point names.

2.1.2 Direct
This value is the instantaneous eccentricity value. You can display the direct value in 1 of 3 ways:
l For shaft rotative speeds greater than 600 rpm, the direct value is the average distance
between the probe tip and the shaft. The software displays its value in a way similar to that
for a thrust measurement. The software displays this direct measurement only when you
enable Direct Channel Above 600 RPM.
l For shaft rotative speeds between 600 rpm and the rpm setting for Instantaneous Cross-
over, the direct measurement consists of 2 values: a maximum value and a minimum value
relative to a zero reference. These 2 direct values are called Direct Max and Direct Min.
l For shaft rotative speeds less than the rpm setting for Instantaneous Crossover, Direct Max
and Direct Min are equal, and the direct measurement consists of an instantaneous meas-
urement relative to a zero reference. This type of direct measurement is called instan-
taneous gap.

2.1.3 Gap
Gap is the physical distance between the face of a proximity probe tip and the observed surface.
Gap expresses the distance in terms of voltage. Standard polarity convention dictates that a
decreasing gap results in an increasing (less negative) output signal.
The Gap Full Scale Ranges are the same (-24V or Custom) for all transducer types.

2.1.4 Clamp Value

The value sent to the recorders and Modbus when the monitor receives invalid input. Invalid input
can be caused by:
l Channel Not OK status
l Monitor Not Ok status
The clamp value is not shown on the monitor display or in the 3500 Rack Configuration software.

4
 2.  Eccentricity Configuration
l 3500 Systems:
The monitor clamps only the Recorder Outputs and the values provided through the Com-
munication Gateway and Display Interface Module when the static value is invalid.
l 3500 ENCORE Systems:
The monitor clamps only the Recorder Outputs and the values provided over Modbus
when the static value is invalid.

2.1.5 Zero Position (Direct)

This value represents the transducer dc voltage that corresponds to the zero indication on the
channel's meter scale for the direct static value. The amount of adjustment that the software
allows depends on the Direct Full Scale Range and the transducer OK limits.
To maximize the zero adjustment, gap the probe as closely as possible to the center gap voltage
that is specified in Table "Ok Limits by Transducer Type" in Section "Customize Button."
2.1.5.1 Adjust Button
This control adjusts the Zero Position voltage. Clicking this button will start a utility that helps you
set the gap zero position voltage. Since this utility provides active feedback from the rack, you will
require a connection with the rack to use it. Refer to the Section, "Adjusting the Scale Factor and
Zero Position" in your monitor hardware manual for more information.

2.1.6.3 I/O Module Attached - Jumper Position

This option returns the position of the transducer jumper on the I/O Module in 3500 systems.

Note
In the 3500 ENCORE systems, the jumper is located on the monitor.

2.1.7 Recorder Output

The recorder output is the static value of a channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA
recorder. The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full-scale
range. An increase of the static value increases the current at the recorder output.
2.1.7.1 Two mA Clamp

Click this check box to cause the monitor to clamp the Recorder Output for a Bypassed channel
to 2 mA.
Clear this check box to cause the monitor to use the selected clamp value for a Bypassed chan-
nel.

2.1.8 Delay
Delay is the time for which a static value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an
under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active.
2.1.8.1 Alert Delay
You can set the Alert time delay in 1 second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds) for all available
static values. Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the

8
 2.  Eccentricity Configuration
selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
2.1.8.2 Danger Delay
You can set the Danger Time Delay at 500 millisecond increments from 1 to 60 seconds. Danger is
the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected
Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
2.1.8.3 100 ms Option
The 100 ms (typical) option applies only to the Danger time delay and has the following effects:
If the 100 ms option is OFF:
l You can set the Danger time delay in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds).
l You can set the Danger time delay for up to 2 available static values.
If the 100 ms option is ON:
l The software sets the Danger time delay to 100 ms.
l You can set the Danger time delay for only the primary static value.

2.1.9 Instantaneous Crossover

Instantaneous crossover is the shaft-rotative speed value at which the direct eccentricity meas-
urement changes from Direct Max/Direct Min to instantaneous gap. The value for Instantaneous
Crossover must be between 1 and 10 rpm.

2.1.10 Direct Channel Above 600 RPM

Disabled
When you select Disabled for this control, the software will disable display and alarming of the
Direct static value when the shaft rotative speed exceeds 600 rpm.

Enabled
When you select Enabled for this control, the display and alarming of the Direct static value will
remain active when the shaft rotative speed exceeds 600 rpm.

2.1.11 Alarm Mode

The options for Alarm Mode are Latching and Non-latching. You can set the Alarm Mode option
for both the Alert and Danger alarms.
2.1.11.1 Latching
Once a latching alarm is active, it will remain active even after the static value drops below the
configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following meth-
ods to reset it:

9
Eccentricity Configuration and Verification Manual
l Pressing the RESET button on the System Monitor

l Closing the contact on the Power Input Module (PIM)

l Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display software1
l Issuing a reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the rest command through the Communication Gateway or Display Interface Mod-
ule1
l Issuing a reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
1 3500 Systems Only

2.1.11.2 Non-latching
When a non-latching alarm is active, it changes to inactive as soon as the static value drops
below the configured setpoint level.

2.1.12 Barriers
Barriers are devices that restrict the amount of energy that can flow into a hazardous area. Select
the MTL 796(-) Zener External option or Galvanic Isolators if you will connect external safety bar-
riers between the monitor and the transducer. If your application uses an internal barrier I/O mod-
ule, select the internal option.

2.1.13 OK Mode
Latching
If you configure a channel for Latching OK, then once the channel has gone Not OK the status
will stay Not OK until you use one of the following methods to issue a reset:
l Pressing the reset switch on the front of the System Module

l Closing the contact on the Power Input Module (PIM)

l Issuing the reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the reset command through the 3500 Display Interface Module
l Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
Non-latching
If you configure a channel for Non-latching OK, the OK status of that channel will track the
defined OK status of the transducer.

2.1.14 Timed OK Channel Defeat

Timed OK Channel Defeat is an option that prevents a channel from returning to an OK status
until that channel's transducer has remained in an OK state for the specified period of time. If you

10
 2.  Eccentricity Configuration
enable the option, the software sets the time to 30 seconds. This option prevents false trips that
intermittent transducers can cause.

2.1.15 General Parameters and Buttons

Note
Please refer to the 3500 Rack Configuration Software Online Help for more information on these items.

2.1.15.1 Set Defaults Button

Returns all settings on the current configuration screen and on the screens at levels below the
current screen to the default settings.

Note
Clicking on Set Defaults returns the settings on all screens at levels below the current screen to their default set-
tings even if the changes at lower levels were confirmed by clicking on the OK button at the lower level screen.

2.1.15.2 CP Mod
Selecting the CP Mod button in the Channel Options Dialog Box allows you to download a Cus-
tom channel configuration to the monitor. The 3500 Rack Configuration Software stores custom
configuration data in a Custom Products Modification File. Custom Products Modification files fol-
low the naming convention: <modification #.mod>. You must place these files in the
\3500\Rackcfg\Mods\ directory. When you select a CP Mod file, the software displays a window
that describes the function of the modification. CP Mod files are available through Bently Nevada,
Inc.'s Custom Products Division. Contact your local sales representative for details.
2.1.15.3 Print Form Button
Click this button to send a copy of the current configuration screen to the printer.

2.2 Alarm Setpoints

This section specifies the available setpoints for each type of channel. A setpoint is the level
within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. You can set Alert/Alarm 1 set-
points for every static value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if
1 or more of the channel static values exceed their setpoints. You can set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2
setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the static values. You may select
any 2 of the available static values for the channel.

Note
You can place the setpoint Over and Under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

2.2.1 Alarm Setpoint Dialog

Use the Setpoint Configuration Screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, shown in Figure
"Eccentricity Setpoint Configuration," to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints for a
channel.

 2.  Eccentricity Configuration
2.2.3 Alarm Hysteresis
The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64th of full scale. When a channel
exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the setpoint less the amount of hysteresis
before it can go out of alarm.
Example:
Consider a channel configuration with a 0 - 10 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6
mils. Full scale is 10 mils - 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel
input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.

2.3 Configuration Considerations

Consider the following items before you configure an Eccentricity Channel:
l 7200 11mm or 14mm, 3300, and 16mm HTPS sensors do not currently support internal bar-
rier I/O modules.
l If you select a Keyphasor channel, you must have Keyphasor configured.
l The full-scale options that each static value allows depend on the transducer type.
l You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1
and 2 as Eccentricity and Channels 3 and 4 as Thrust Position1).
l When you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated
with this static value.
l Selecting "No Keyphasor" on the 4-Channel Monitor screen will disable the peak-to-peak
static value.
l The Latching OK Mode and the Timed OK Channel Defeat options are not compatible.
l If you select a Non-standard transducer, then the software sets these setpoint OK limits to
±1 volt from the selected Upper and Lower OK Limits.
1 3500 ENCORE supports 2 channels only.

 3.  Eccentricity Verification

3. Eccentricity Verification
The following sections describe how to test alarms, verify channels, and test OK limits for chan-
nels configured as Eccentricity. You verify the output values and alarm setpoints by varying the
input Eccentricity signal level (both peak to peak, amplitude, and dc voltage bias) and verifying
that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test computer.

3.1 Test Equipment and Software Setup

You can use the following test equipment and software setup as the initial set up that all the ver-
ification procedures require.

3.1.1 Test Equipment Setup

Danger

High voltage present. Contact with high voltage can cause shock, burns, or death. Do not touch exposed wires or
terminals.

Advisory
1. Test levels will exceed alarm setpoint levels and activate alarms. This could result in a relay contact state
change.

2. Disconnecting field wiring will cause a Not OK condition.

Connect the power supply, function generator and multimeter to COM and SIG of channel 1 with
the polarity as shown in the figure to simulate the transducer signal. The test equipment outputs
should be floating relative to earth ground.

3.2 Test Alarms

The general test procedure for alarm setpoints is to use a function generator and power supply
to simulate the Eccentricity signal.
You test the alarm levels by varying the output from the test equipment and verifying that the Ver-

3.2.3 Direct

Advisory
The Keyphasor signal should be triggering and have a valid rpm value for you to check this parameter.

It is recommended that you set the rpm between the instantaneous crossover speed and 600 rpm to measure
eccentricity relative to a zero reference.

If the rpm is set above 600 rpm, the direct value becomes a measurement of the average distance between the
probe tip and the shaft.

3.3 Verify Channel Values

The general procedure for testing these parameters is to simulate the eccentricity signal with a
function generator and power supply. You verify the output levels by varying the output from the
test equipment and verifying that the Verification screen reports the correct results on the test
computer.

3.3.1 Peak-to-Peak

Advisory
Most DMMs are not designed to measure low frequency ac signals. We recommend that you use an oscilloscope.

1. Disconnect the field wiring from the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O mod-
ule.
2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in the section, "Test Equip-
ment and Software Setup."
3. Calculate the full-scale voltage according to the following equation and examples:

Verification Input Signal = Pk-to-Pk Meter Full Scale * Transducer Scale Factor

20
 3.  Eccentricity Verification
Example 1

Pk-to-Pk Meter Top Scale = 10 mil

Transducer Scale Factor = 200 mV/mil
= 200 mV/mil
Full Scale = 10 mils * 0.200 V/mil
= 2.00 V pk-pk

For V rms input:

Vrms = (0.707/2) * (V pk-pk) for a sine wave input

= (0.707/2) * 2.00 V pk-pk
= 0.707 Vrms

Example 2

Pk-to-Pk Meter Top Scale = 200 µm

Transducer Scale Factor = 7.874 mV/mil
= 0.007874 V/µm
Full Scale = 200 µm * 007874 V/µm
= 1.575 V pk-pk

For V rms input:

V rms = (0.707/2) * (V pk-pk) for a sine wave input

= (0.707/2) * 1.575 V pk-pk
= 0.5568 V rms

4. Adjust the function generator amplitude for the calculated full scale. Verify that the bar-
graph display and the Current Values Box are reading +/-1% of full scale.
5. If the readings do not meet specifications, verify that the input signal is correct. If the mon-
itor still does not meet specifications or fails any other part of this test, you must replace the
monitor. See the section "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your hardware manual.
6. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect the field wiring to the PWR, COM, and SIG
channel terminals on the I/O module. Verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK
relay energizes. Press the RESET switch to reset the OK LED.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for all configured channels.

3.3.2 Gap
1. Disconnect the field wiring from the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O mod-
ule.
2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in the section, "Test Equip-
ment and Software Setup."
3. Adjust the power supply to -18 Vdc on the bar graph display. Verify that the bar graph

21
Eccentricity Configuration and Verification Manual
display and the Current Value box are reading +/- 1% of the -18 Vdc.
4. Adjust the power supply voltage to mid-scale on the bar graph display. Verify that the bar
graph display and the Current Value box are reading +/- 1% of the mid-scale value.
5. If the readings do not meet specifications, verify that the input signal is correct. If the mon-
itor still does not meet specifications or fails any other part of this test, you must replace the
monitor. See the section "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your hardware manual.
6. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect the field wiring to the PWR, COM, and SIG
channel terminals on the I/O module. Verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK
relay energizes. Press the RESET switch to reset the OK LED.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for all configured channels.

3.3.3 Direct

Advisory
The Keyphasor signal must be triggering and have a valid rpm value for you to check this parameter.

1. Disconnect the field wiring from the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O mod-
ule.
2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in the section, "Test Equip-
ment and Software Setup."
3. Calculate the full-scale and bottom scale values. You can calculate these values using the
following equations:

Bottom Scale = Zero Position Voltage - (Transducer Scale Factor * ABS(Bottom Meter Scale)
Full-scale = Zero Position Voltage + (Transducer Scale Factor * Top Meter Scale

The Zero Position Voltage is the voltage input that will cause the reading on the bar graph
display and the Current Value Box to be zero. The Zero Position Voltage value is displayed in
the Z.P. Volts box above each channel value bar graph. The Transducer Scale Factor is dis-
played in the Scale Factor Box on the Verification screen.
Example 1:

Transducer Scale Factor = 200 mV/mil

= 0.200 V/mil
Meter Scale Range = 20-0-20 mil
Zero Position Voltage = -9.75 Vdc
Bottom Scale Value = -9.75 V - (0.200 V/mil * 20 mils)
= -13.75 Vdc
Full-scale Value = -9.75 V + (0.200 V/mil * 20 mils)
= -5.75 Vdc

Example 2:

22
 3.  Eccentricity Verification
Transducer Scale Factor = 7,874 mV/mm
= 0.007874 V/Cm
Meter Scale Range = 200-0-200 Vµm
Zero Position Voltage = -9.75 Vdc
Bottom Scale Value = -9.75 V - (0.007.874 V/µm * 200 µm)
= -11.32 Vdc
Full-scale Value = -9.75 V + (0.007.874 V/µm * 200 µm)
= -8.18 Vdc

4. Adjust the power supply voltage to match the voltage in the Zero Position Volts box. The
bar graph display and the Current Value box should read 0 mil +/- 1% of full scale.
5. Adjust the power supply voltage for the calculated full scale. Verify that the bar graph dis-
play and the Current Value box are reading +/- 1% of full scale.
6. Adjust the power supply voltage for the calculated bottom scale. Verify that the bar graph
display and the Current Value box are reading +/- 1% of bottom scale.
7. If the readings do not meet specifications, verify that the input signal is correct. If the mon-
itor still does not meet specifications or fails any other part of this test, you must replace the
monitor. See the section "If a Channel Fails a Verification Test" in your hardware manual.
8. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect the field wiring to the PWR, COM, and SIG
channel terminals on the I/O module. Verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK
relay energizes. Press the RESET switch to reset the OK LED.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all configured channels.

3.4 Test OK Limits

The general approach for testing OK limits is for you to input a dc voltage and adjust the voltage
above the Upper OK Limit and below the Lower OK Limit. This will produce a channel Not OK con-
dition and cause the OK Relay to change state (de-energize). The test computer displays the
Upper OK Limit and Lower OK Limits on the Verification screen.
1. Disconnect the field wiring from the PWR, COM, and SIG channel terminals on the I/O mod-
ule.
2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in the section, “Test Equip-
ment and Software Setup."
3. Bypass all other configured channels.
4. Adjust the power supply voltage to -7.00 Vdc.
5. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the monitor OK LED is on and that the Channel OK State
line in the Channel Status section of the Verification screen reads OK.

23
Eccentricity Configuration and Verification Manual
Note
If the Danger Bypass is active, then the BYPASS LED will be on. All other channels in the rack must be OK or
bypassed for the OK relay to energize.

6. Verify that the OK relay on the System Monitor indicates OK (is energized). (See the appro-
priate System Monitor manual for more information.)
7. Increase the power supply voltage (more negative) until the OK LED just goes off (upper
limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line on the Verification screen reads Not OK and that
the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that Verification screen displays an Upper OK Limit
voltage that is equal to or more positive than the input voltage.
8. Adjust the power supply voltage to -7.00 Vdc.
9. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the OK LED comes back on and that the OK relay ener-
gizes. Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status section reads OK.
10. Gradually decrease the power supply voltage (less negative) until the OK LED just goes off
(lower limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status section reads Not OK
and that the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that the Verification screen displays a Lower
OK Limit voltage that is equal to or more negative than the input voltage.
11. Adjust the power supply voltage to -7.00 Vdc.
12. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the OK LED comes back on and that the OK relay ener-
gizes. Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status section reads OK.
13. If you cannot verify any configured OK limit, you must replace the monitor. Refer to “If a
Channel Fails a Verification Test” in your monitor hardware manual.
14. Disconnect the test equipment and reconnect the field wiring to the PWR, COM, and SIG
channel terminals on the I/O module. Verify that the OK LED comes on and that the OK
relay energizes. Press the RESET switch to reset the OK LED.

15. Repeat steps 1 through 14 for all configured channels.

16. Return the bypass switches for all configured channels back to their original settings.
