SETPOINT Components
The SETPOINT Machinery Protection System consists of these components:
1.1 SETPOINT Rack

The SETPOINT rack provides protection and inter-module connections for the SETPOINT system
modules. The SETPOINT rack is available in three sizes:
A 19 full size rack with 16 slots
An 8 slot half-sized rack
A 4 slot, compact rack
All rack sizes support panel, bulkhead, and weatherproof box mounting. The 19 full size rack also
supports mounting in a 19 EIA rack.
The SETPOINT rack has an optional locking door to prevent tampering with wiring and network lines.
The door supports an optional color touchscreen display module.
Figure 1: The SETPOINT Rack
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
1.2 Rack Connection Module (RCM)
The SETPOINT Rack Connection Module (RCM) installs in the first rack slot on the left and provides
rack level connections and protection circuitry for:
Primary Power Input

Secondary Power Input
Discrete contact control inputs
Rack Fault Relay
Reset Button
Discrete control
LED indictors

Rev. J (Jun 2017)
1.3 System Access Module (SAM)
The SETPOINT System Access Module (SAM) provides a convenient single point access for:
Configuring all modules

Connection to the control network
Local display connection
System Event and Alarm Event Lists
Connection to condition monitoring host computer
The primary SAM installs in Slot 2. An optional second SAM for redundant Modbus communication
installs in Slot 3. Slots 2 and 3 also support monitoring modules if SAMs are not purchased.
NOTE: Redundant Modbus connection from a second

SAM in slot 3 requires an operating primary SAM in
slot 2.
The SAM is not in the safety path between sensor and relay and can be replaced without
interrupting machine protection.
Display and Dynamic Data options require installation of additional hardware. Order the SAM with
Display and Dynamic Data Ready option if you plan to use these functions.
Without a SAM in the Rack, all monitoring modules must be configured independently and events
viewed independently.
Older SAMs supported serial communication only with modifications. Starting with revision F
(released Oct 2015), the standard SAM supports serial communication for:
Point to Point over RS-232, RS-422, RS-485,

Multi-drop RS-485
The RJ45 connector above the DISPLAY connector provides the required signals (See Figure 3).

Rev. J (Jun 2017)
1.4 Display
The SETPOINT Rack optionally supports a color touchscreen display module mounted on the rack or
remotely up to 10 ft (3 m) away. The display module shows:
All data values collected by the SETPOINT monitoring modules

All data statuses produced by the SETPOINT monitoring modules
All Alarm set-points
System Event List
Alarm Event List
Hardware Information
The Display also supports acknowledging and resetting alarms and switchable buffered output BNC
connectors. The switchable buffered output BNCs can output the buffered signals from any UMM
channel when selected on the Display.
Display modules shipped after Jan 2014 are high brightness units for outdoor visibility in bright
sunlight. Contact SETPOINT Vibration for options for upgrading older displays to the brighter
displays.
NOTE: The brighter display requires the appropriate

SAM firmware. Swapping a SAM between racks with
old and new displays will cause the display to operate
incorrectly. Contact SETPOINT Vibration for
information on the correct firmware for your display.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
1.5 Monitoring Modules
The SETPOINT Rack supports 1 to 15 Monitoring Modules depending on rack size and number of
System Access Modules. Monitoring Modules will operate correctly when installed into any slot
other than the first slot (reserved for the RCM).
The Monitoring Modules:
Power sensors
Condition sensor signals
Extract machine measurements from the signals
Compare measurements to configured alarm set-points
Perform alarm status voting logic
Drive alarm relays
Drive Analog 4 to 20 mA outputs
Communicate data to the System Access Module for Display and Modbus Communication.
The SETPOINT system supports two monitoring module types: The Universal Monitoring Module
(UMM) and the Temperature Monitoring Module (TMM). The UMM performs many measurements
for monitoring centrifugal and reciprocating machinery. The TMM supports Temperature and
Process Variable measurements.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
1.5.1 Universal Monitoring Module (UMM)
The SETPOINT Universal Monitoring Module is a 4-channel machine monitoring module that
supports proximity, seismic, loop powered 4-20 mA transmitter, and phase trigger sensor inputs.
Table 1 lists the channel types and associated measurements the UMM supports along with speed
restrictions if applicable.
The Type column lists when the measurements are available. An X indicates the measurement is
always included. PT indicates that you must associate the channel with a Phase Trigger for the
UMM to perform the measurement. Add indicates an optional measurement that you can add
following the instructions in section 3.4.6.15.
The four UMM channels are independently configured. Composite measurements requiring two
channels restrict channel assignments. You can assign single transducer channel types to any of the
4 channels.
The channel types are listed in these categories:
Standard Channels
Aero-Derivative Gas Turbine Monitoring
Hydro and Low Speed Machine Monitoring
Axial Position Monitoring
Pressure and Sound Monitoring
Process Variable Monitoring
Reciprocating Machine Monitoring
Rolling Element Bearing Monitoring
Rotation and Speed Monitoring
Steam Turbine Monitoring

SETPOINT Vibration ships CMS enabled modules with CM enabled sticker located near the lower
captive screw as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: CM Enabled Sticker

Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Installation
2.1 Installation Considerations
2.1.1 Clearance
SETPOINT racks require 4 inches of clearance between racks and any other components. This
clearance is required for proper airflow for cooling.
Figure 7: Clearance
2.1.2 Environment
Install the SETPOINT system in an environment compatible with the system specifications. Refer to
the SETPOINT system datasheets for environmental specifications. When installing in hazardous
areas, install the SETPOINT system in an enclosure or area protected to IP54 (splash protected).
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.1.3 Mounting Orientation
Mount the SETPOINT rack with the modules vertical as shown. Other mounting orientations are not
advised.
Figure 8: Mounting Orientation
2.2 Mounting Methods

2.2.1 Rack Mounting
The SETPOINT rack mounting option provides brackets for installation in an EIA 19 inch rack. Secure
the rack using four 10/32 bolts and washers at the four locations shown in Figure 9.
Rack mounting holes. Four places.
Figure 9: Rack Mounting Holes
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.2.2 Panel Mounting
Panel-mount the SETPOINT rack in a cutout according to Figure 10: Mounting Holes and Cutout.
Figure 10: Mounting Holes and Cutout in Inches (mm)
The 8 slot and 16 slot SETPOINT rack heights and widths are the same as for Bently Nevada 7200 and
3300 series 4P and 8P monitor racks, respectively. SETPOINT racks will mount in these existing
monitor cutouts without modification. The higher channel count of SETPOINT allows smaller racks
to process all the channels from larger (10P, 12P, and 14P) 7200 and 3300 racks. A blank cover is
required to fill the unused space.
The SETPOINT rack does not come with Panel Clamps. Secure the rack using four 10/32 bolts
through mounting holes at the locations shown.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.2.3 Bulkhead Mounting
To bulkhead mount a SETPOINT rack, the mounting brackets are installed on the backside of the rack
as shown.
Bulkhead Mount Brackets
Figure 11: Bulkhead Mounting
The mounting hole pattern for bulkhead mounting is the same as for panel mounting. Refer to
Figure 10.
2.2.4 Box Mounting

The SETPOINT systems small, front-loading design lends itself well to mounting in weatherproof or
explosion proof boxes. Be sure to consider heat dissipation to ensure the box interior stays within
the SETPOINT ambient temperature rating. If possible, keep the box out of direct sunlight. Refer to
the module datasheets for power dissipation information in order to calculate heat rise inside the
box. Provide ventilation air if required.
2.2.5 Mounting the Display Remotely

You can mount the SETPOINT door and display up to 3 meters (10 feet) from the SETPOINT rack
using the remote display option. Anchor the display cable to a solid surface every 15 cm (6 inches).
Refer to the remote display datasheet for part numbers and ordering information.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.2.6 Reverse Mounting
For applications requiring the system wiring to terminate at the rack back, you can move the display
to the rack back and install in panels or 19 inch EIA racks following the instructions in section 2.2.1 or
0. Reverse mounting requires a longer display cable to reach from the System Access Module to the
display. Refer to the datasheet for display cable part numbers and ordering information.

2.3 Power Supplies
The SETPOINT system accepts two +24 VDC (nominal) power inputs. The SETPOINT modules
generate all other needed voltages so SETPOINT does not require an internal power supply module.
2.3.1 Power Supply Considerations

You can power the SETPOINT system from your existing cabinet power supplies or other power
supply modules given the following considerations:
Verify your power supplies have sufficient power remaining to power the SETPOINT rack.
See the Module Datasheets for power draw.
Brownout holdup. Verify your power supply has sufficient bulk capacitance to hold the
supply voltage up during low line voltage conditions.
Verify power supply temperature de-rating. Power supply output power specifications are
typically much lower at elevated temperatures.
The SETPOINT modules draw power from the supply with the highest voltage. To cause the system
to draw power from a specific supply, adjust the voltage of that supply to be 1 V higher than the
other.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.3.2 SETPOINT AC Power Supply Option
SETPOINT Vibration offers an external universal AC power supply option for the SETPOINT system.
SETPOINT Vibration has tested this supply to meet all SETPOINT CE mark, environmental
specifications and hazardous area approval requirements.
The SETPOINT system power supplies are mountable on a 35 mm DIN rail. Clip the top of the power
supply onto the rail and push down on the bottom until the latch snaps under the rail as shown in
Figure 13.
1) Clip in Back 2) Snap in Front.
Figure 13: Attaching Power Supply to DIN Rail
To remove the power supply from the DIN rail, pull out on the retaining clip with a screwdriver and
rotate up.
Follow the instructions included with the power supply when connecting the supply to the AC power
mains.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: The external power supplies

are powered from high voltages. Only qualified personnel
should make connections to the power supply. Refer to
instructions included with the power supply module.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.4 General Wiring Considerations
All SETPOINT connectors are a pluggable type with flange locking screws. To remove the connectors,
loosen the two flange screws on either side of the terminal contacts and pull the connector straight
out.

+24 V System Primary Power
+24 V System Secondary Power
Fault Relay
Discrete Control Contacts
Buffered Outputs
2.5.1 System Chassis Ground

Connect chassis ground wire to the rack at the RCM power connector chassis terminal. Follow
electrical codes when selecting wire size, maximum wire length, and maximum earth ground
resistance. When used in Zone 2 hazardous area applications, use a 4 mm2 wire with crimp style lug
to connect the chassis ground wire to earth ground.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: The external power supplies

are powered from high voltages. Only qualified personnel
should make connections to the power supply. Refer to
instructions included with the power supply module.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.5.2 Single Point System Common to Chassis Connection

2.5.3 Power Wiring
Select the power wiring gauge to be large enough to keep the input supply voltage within the normal
range of +22 Vdc to +30 Vdc. The amount of cable resistance allowed is determined by the
maximum SETPOINT rack current draw and the nominal power supply.
Table 3 shows the maximum wire length for fully loaded racks when powered with a +24 Vdc power
supply.

Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.5.4 Fault Relay Wiring
The SETPOINT fault relay is a fault tolerant Single-Pole, Double-Throw (form C) relay. The fault relay
activates whenever machine protection is compromised due to a detected failure.
The fault relay labeling is in reference to the fault condition (i.e. when a fault occurs NC will be
connected to ARM.). The fault relay is normally energized when the system is operating correctly
and de-energizes to indicate a fault condition. Loss of rack power causes a fault indication.
Connect to the fault relay using AWG 12 to 24 AWG wire (0.2 mm2 to 4 mm2). Refer to the
specifications for the fault relay current and voltage rating shown in the datasheet.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: High voltages may be present

on relay wiring. Remove power before servicing relay

2.5.5 Discrete Control Input Wiring
The discrete input connector provides control signal inputs from external devices, dry contact relays,
or switches. All discrete inputs are active low and are asserted when the input is pulled to common.
The discrete inputs are 5 V logic compatible and can be pulled low by logic gates.
CAUTION! Connecting high voltage wetted

relays to the discrete contacts can damage the
module. Connect only dry contact relays or
low voltage logic.

ohms vs. the 120 characteristic impedance of standard RS-485
cable. This will cause a small reflection. If your network length
exceeds the length shown in Table 7, use RS-485 cable and
terminate with 120 ohms.

You can place up to 64 SETPOINT racks on an RS-485 multi-drop network.
Fail Safe Biasing Resistors

SETPOINT does not require biasing resistors. The fail safe function is built in.
Termination for RS-485 Networks

Depending on the total network cable length, reliable RS-485 communication requires proper
termination at each end of the network. If the cable length is short and the baud rate low,
reflections are attenuated by the time the signal is read, so termination is not required. However, if
your cable length exceeds the length shown in Table 7 for your baud rate, you will need to terminate
your network as discussed in this section.

allowable length of 4000 ft.

Terminate at both ends of the network as shown in Figure 26. Keep stubs between the main trunk
and each rack as short as possible. To terminate, place external 120 ohm termination resistors
between RX- and RX+ and between TX- and TX+.

Connecting the Analog Outputs

The monitor modules provide 4 to 20 mA outputs proportional to the configured variable
measurement. 4 mA corresponds to the configured bottom-scale, 20 mA corresponds to the
configured full-scale. The 4 to 20 mA is self-powered (sourcing) and requires no external power
source.
Shielded wire is recommended to reduce electrical noise. Terminate shielding at the receiving
device.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
In the event of a sensor fault, the 4 to 20 mA output will drop to 2 mA or to a programmed clamp
value depending on configuration. An output between 20 mA and 24 mA indicates an over-range
condition.
2.7.1.1.1 Analog Output Cable Length

The analog output maximum cable length is a function of the supply voltage and the total loop
resistance as shown in Figure 31.

The total loop resistance includes the sensing load and the total wire resistance. For wire runs
longer than 1,500 m (5,000 ft.) 24 AWG is the minimum recommended wire size. Use 20 AWG wire
for runs up to 3,000 m (10,000 ft.). Above 3,000 m (10,000 ft.) the cable capacitance may limit
frequency response. Consult with SETPOINT Vibration if you need analog output wiring runs longer
than 3,000 m (10,000 ft.)

The UMM can trigger from either magnetic speed sensor wiring polarity. However, for accurate
phase measurements verify that the sensor polarity matches the configured trigger type (See Section
3.4.11.) Verify that the sensor wiring polarity results in the expected rising or falling signal on the
phase trigger notch or projection.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Figure 38: NPN Inductive Proximity Switch Wiring
The UMM provides a proximity switch load between the sensor signal line and common. Since the
UMM provides negative power the switch must be an NPN type which requires the output load
between the signal line and the higher supply voltage.
IMPORTANT: If using an externally powered proximity switch

or optical pickup, the output voltage must be kept less than
+18V to prevent the sensor from driving current back into the
UMM.
Wiring 4 to 20 mA Transmitters
You can use the UMM to monitor 4 to 20 mA transmitter inputs. The UMM provides higher
sampling rates, faster alarming, and buffered outputs not provided by the TMM.
2.7.2.6.1 Two-wire, Loop-Powered Transmitters

Connect 4 to 20 mA 2-wire, loop-powered transmitters as shown in Figure 39. The UMM provides
-24 Vdc power sufficient to power the transmitter. The 4 to 20 mA current signal passes through a
249 ohm sense resistor to create a -1.0 V to -5.0 V analog signal.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Connect Loop- to PWR and Loop+ to
SIG. Connect the transmitter shield
to SLD.
Figure 39: UMM two wire Transmitter Wiring
APPLICATION ALERT: A transmitter that outputs a current >

24 mA on an over-range condition will cause the UMM to
reduce the output voltage to limit the current. The reduced
output voltage can cause erroneous readings. Make sure that
your sensor does not output over 24 mA on an over-range
condition.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2.7.2.6.2 Externally Powered Transmitters
You can use externally powered 4 to 20 mA, 0 V to +5 V, +1 V to +5V, and 0 V to -10 V when wired as
shown in Figure 40 with the transmitter loop+ connected to SIG and loop- connected to COM.

2.7.3 Temperature Monitoring Module (TMM) Sensor Wiring
The TMM includes 5 connections per channel input (A, B, C, D, Shield) and can accept any
combination of 2, 3, and 4-wire RTDs or thermocouples.
Connecting RTDs

NOTE: Some RTD manufacturers (e.g. Minco) have color codes

other than IEC 751/ASTM. Be sure to verify wiring with the
information provided with the RTD.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
The TMM compensates for the RTD wiring resistance. However, differences in resistance between
the legs of 3-wire RTDs, or temperature drift of the 2-wire RTD extension wires will introduce errors.
SETPOINT Vibration recommends a maximum of 25 ohms of field wiring resistance.
The TMM scans two channels at a time in groups of channels 1,2,4 and 3,5,6. If your RTDs share a
common return line, the common line should not be shared across these two groups. Otherwise the
TMM will drive two sensing currents through the common return line and cause reading errors.
NOTE: You can share common RTD return wires across channels
1,2,4 or 3,5,6. Using common return wires between these two
groups will cause reading errors.
Connecting Thermocouples
Thermocouple common lines are electrically isolated from the SETPOINT system allowing connection
to grounded tip thermocouples on a machine at ground potential different from the SETPOINT
system. All thermocouple inputs are on the same common plane so grounded tip thermocouples
should be at the same ground potential.

Connecting 4 to 20 mA Transmitters
The TMM supports process variable 4 to 20 mA transmitter measurements from externally powered
transmitters connected through a 68 ohm resistor. The resistor converts the current into a voltage
range suitable for TMM measurement.
APPLICATION ALERT: Do not connect TMM PV

channels as listeners in loops connected to
another device. This will cause errors in the
readings.

Transducer
The SETPOINT system is pre-configured for many common machine protection transducers.
Selecting the transducer type automatically configures the OK limits, scale factor and other
parameters associated with the sensor.
Barrier
If the Barrier check box is checked, the SETPOINT system will automatically alter the transducer scale
factor and OK limits accordingly for the recommended barrier.
Name
User assigned channel name. This is the name that appears on the display. Maximum name length
is 25 characters.
Asset Level 1 and Asset Level 2

User assigned names that group the channels together. Use Asset Level 1 and Asset Level 2 names
to organize the display layout and also to simplify relay voting logic. Maximum asset level name
length is 25 characters. Setting Asset Level 1 to the machine case name (e.g. Turbine, Gearbox,
Compressor, etc) and Setting Asset Level 2 to the bearing identified (e.g. Inboard, Outboard) results
in an effective display layout.
Direction and Orientation

Use Direction and Orientation to define the sensor position. Typically Direction and Orientation are
defined when looking from driver to load and the number of degrees from vertical (horizontal
machines) or from a selected direction such as North (vertical machines), either to the right or left.
Phase Trigger
Phase Trigger sets the phase trigger signal that the channel will use for generating machine
synchronous measurements such as the 1X and 2X tracking filters. After you configure your Phase
Trigger channels, the Phase Trigger column will provide a drop list of the configured Phase Triggers
to choose from. The Phase Trigger names that appear in the drop list correspond to the Name
column entries for the Phase Triggers. Use unique names when you have multiple Phase Triggers.
APPLICATION ALERT: Hydro channels are intended for low

speed hydro turbines with speeds less than 600 rpm.
Associating a hydro channel with a high speed Phase Trigger
can result in abnormal operation.

Latching will cause the SETPOINT system to clear the Danger alarm annunciation immediately when
the input is no longer violating the configured Danger set-point.
Display Order
The Display Order sets the order the channel bar graphs will be shown for the Asset Level 2 in the
Machine View. Channels are displayed from lowest to highest, from left to right.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.4.6 Configuring Measurements
Click the Measurement view button to see the Measurement Configuration View shown in Figure
71. Add, delete, or change measurements performed on channel transducer inputs.
Figure 71: Measurement Configuration View
Slot, Channel, and Channel Type are discussed in section 3.4.5.
Measurement
The Measurement column lists the configurable measurements performed on a channel. There may
be multiple measurements on a single channel. For example, Hydro Displacement channels will list
Direct, Gap, 1X, 2X, and 8 Band-Pass filtered measurements.
X
X specifies the orders of running speed for the tracking filters. For a 2X (twice rotational speed)
tracking filter X will be set to 2.
Minimum
The measurements bottom-scale value as seen on the bar graph.
Maximum
The measurements top-scale value as seen on the bar graph.
NOTE: The configuration software flags an error if the combined

maximum and transducer scale factor results in an input signal
range that is too small to measure accurately.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
APPLICATION ALERT: Integrating vectors on slow speed
machines applies high gains and can increase noise. Do not
integrate vectors when N * normal operating speed < 300
without careful analysis.
Clamp
The clamp value is the level that the monitoring module will drive the Modbus and Analog Output
levels to when the channel is bypassed or faulted.
Two mA Clamp
Checking the Two mA Clamp box causes the monitor to drive the Analog Outputs to 2 mA on a fault.
Unit
The measurement engineering units displayed.
Subunits
The subunits describe the signal processing done for the measurement such as rms, peak, peak-to-
peak.
Trip Multiply
When Trip Multiply is active the UMM multiplies the set-points by this factor. 1X indicates no
change. 3X will increase the set points by a factor of 3.
Alert Type, Alert, Under Alert

Alert Type sets the way the monitor evaluates the measurement against the alert set points.

Filter Configuration
The SETPOINT monitor band-pass filters the transducer data before measuring the level and applying
alarm set-points.
High Pass The high-pass filter corner frequency.
Low Pass The low-pass filter corner frequency.
You can freely set the band-pass filter corners within the allowable range with only these
restrictions:
1) The low-pass filter corner should be no more than 1000 x high-pass filter corner.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
2) If the low-pass and high-pass filters are too close, there can be significant attenuation. The
configuration does not enforce filter separation. As a guideline, maintain the filter
separation shown in Table 14.

Adding Measurements to a Channel

Many channel types allow you to add measurements to the sensor input such as band-pass filtered
dynamic amplitude measurements and nX vector measurements. There are several reasons why you
may want to add a measurement:
Measure both integrated and non-integrated data from a seismic sensor

Measure data in both rms and pk subunits.
Monitor specific frequency bands
To add a measurement, click the Add button on the Measurement Configuration View. Click the
monitor module, and then the channel. A list of available added measurements will appear as
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
shown in Figure 72. If the channel does not support added measurements, the channel will not have
an arrow at the right.
Clicking the Add button

opens a list of channels
and measurements you
can add.
Figure 72: Adding Measurements
The new measurement will appear at the bottom of the measurement list. Sorting on Slot and
Channel (see section 3.3.8) will regroup the added measurements with the other channel
measurements.
Deleting Measurements from a Channel

To delete a measurement, click on the blue square on the left to select the measurement and then
click the Delete button. You cannot delete the primary measurement or gap/bias measurements.
First, select the

measurement you want
to delete by clicking the Second, click the Delete
blue square at the left. button.
Figure 73: Deleting a Measurement
Viewing the Primary Measurements

The display shows the primary measurement bargraph on the Machine at a Glance and Rack at a
Glance displays. You can quickly filter the Measurement Configuration View to show only the
primary measurements by selecting Primary in the view drop list as shown in Figure 74.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Selecting Primary from the
view drop list filters the grid
to show only the primary
measurements.
Figure 74: Primary Measurement Configuration Filter
Viewing Vector Measurements

This display filters the view to show just the vector measurements. This view also allows you to
change the Revs Per Vector parameter.
Choose NX from the drop list to only

show vector measurements.
Figure 75: NX Measurement View
Changing Revs Per Vector allows you to tune the vector calculations for fast response or high
discrimination. The default value is 20 revolutions, providing 0.05X resolution and good response
time. You can increase this to 100 revolutions for discrimination to 0.01X. Sampling the signal for
100 shaft revolutions can delay the vector output causing significant shifts for machines that start up
or slow down rapidly. Use 100 revs for steady state or for machines that start up slowly.
3.4.7 Configuring Transducer Details

The SETPOINT Setup software will automatically fill in transducer information depending on the
transducer and barrier selections in the Summary view. The Customize Transducer View allows you
to customize these settings for specific installations.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Enter the Customize
Transducer View by
selecting Customize
Transducer from the View
drop list.
Figure 76: Entering the Customize Transducer View
NOTE: Temperature and Process Variable transducers are

configured on the Temperature View and Process Variable View
and not on the Customize Transducer View.
Slot, Channel, Channel Type, Transducer, Barrier, Name, Unit, and Asset Levels also appear in the
Channel Summary View. Refer to section 3.4.5 for information on these parameters.
Scale Factor
The transducer scale factor in mV per unit.
Max OK and Min OK

When the transducer signal is outside the region between Min OK and Max OK the SETPOINT
monitor flags the channel as faulted (not OK) and marks all channel data as invalid (except for Axial
Position, Recip Crankcase Velocity, Recip Rod Drop, and Recip Impact channels which remain valid).
Transducer Power
Sets the internal UMM switches to provide the correct power supply to the sensor. Choose the
Transducer Power option that matches your transducer wiring as discussed in sections 2.7.2 and
2.7.3.
Fault Mode
Table 15 summarizes the options for Fault Mode.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Table 15: Fault Mode Options
Fault Mode Description
Latching Faults Latches fault conditions. Channel will remain

faulted until the user resets the latched
statuses even if the sensor returns to normal
operation.
Non-latching Faults Does not latch fault conditions. Channel will

return to valid when the sensor returns to
normal operation.
Timed Fault Defeat and No Latching Defeats alarming for a set time interval after
recovering from a fault. This time allows the
peak detectors to discharge.
Note: Axial Position alarming is not defeated

on fault.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.4.8 Configuring Position Measurements
The Position Configuration View provides configuration of parameters associated with Axial Position
(or Thrust), Eccentricity, Rod Drop, and Differential Expansion measurements.
NOTE: Case Expansion and Valve Position channels use

transmitter inputs and are configured from the Process Variable
View.
Enter the Position

Configuration View by
selecting Position from the
View drop list.
Figure 77: Axial Position Configuration
With the exception of Zero Position and Upscale Direction, the other parameters available on this
view are also available on the Summary and Customize Transducer views. Refer to sections 3.4.5
and 3.4.6.15 for more information.
Zero Position
For Axial Position measurements the zero position is typically the center of the thrust float zone.
The Axial Position alarm levels are set in reference to a change in axial position from the set zero
position.
For Differential Expansion measurements, this is the distance between the rotating and stationary
parts when at a known temperature. Long and Short Rotor measurement alarms are set in
reference to a change from the zero position.
Upscale Direction
The Upscale Direction sets whether the measurement indicates an increase or decrease in value
depending on whether the target is moving towards or away from the probe. For example,
depending on the side of the thrust collar the Axial Position probe is viewing, the normal thrust
direction may be either toward the probe or away from the probe.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.4.9 Configuring Process Variables
The Process Variable Configuration View provides configuration of parameters associated with
process variable measurements. Use this view for process variable measurements performed either
by the UMM or TMM.
NOTE: Case Expansion and Valve Position channels use

transmitter inputs and are configured from the Process Variable
View.
Enter the Process Variable

selecting Process Variable
from the View drop list.
Figure 78: Entering Process Variable Configuration
With the exception of Bottom Scale Input, Top Scale Input, Bottom Full Scale, and Top Full Scale the
other parameters available on this view are also available on the Summary and Customize
Transducer views. Refer to sections 3.4.5 and 3.4.6.15 for more information.
Bottom Scale Input and Top Scale Input are set according to the transducer selected. For example,
for a 4 to 20 mA transmitter these will default to 4 mA and 20 mA.
Set the Units field to match the transmitter units then set the transmitter Bottom Full Scale
corresponding to the transmitter Bottom Scale Input and the Top Full Scale corresponding to the
transmitter Top Scale Input.
For example, configure a 4 to 20 mA transmitter calibrated for 0 to 100 PSI output as shown in
Figure 79.
Figure 79: Process Variable Configuration Example
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.4.10 Configuring Temperature Channels
The Temperature configuration view provides configuration of parameters associated with
temperature measurements. Temperature measurements are only available for TMM channels.
Enter the Temperature

selecting Temperature from
the View drop list.
Figure 80: Temperature Channel Configuration
With the exception of Transducer Power, the other parameters available on this view are also
available on the Summary and Customize Transducer views. Refer to sections 3.4.5 and 3.4.6.15 for
more information.
Transducer Power
Select whether the connected sensor is a Thermocouple, RTD (2, 3, or 4 wire) or Process Variable
transmitter. The TMM will switch the inputs according to the transducer power to provide the
correct sensor excitation. Use the Grounded Tip Thermocouple option for non-isolated
thermocouples. The Grounded Tip Thermocouple option turns off the bias voltage that can
interfere with readings when the tips are grounded but results in reduced wiring fault detection.
APPLICATION ALERT: SETPOINT Vibration recommends

isolated tip thermocouples for critical, shut-down applications.
Setpoint cannot provide the same wiring fault detection levels
with grounded tip thermocouples as with isolated tip
thermocouples. Set the Fault Mode to Latching when using
grounded tip thermocouples.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.4.11 Configuring Phase Triggers
The SETPOINT rack supports up to 6 phase triggers shared between modules. You can assign
Channel 4 on UMMs in slots 4 through 9 as a phase trigger. After assigning phase trigger channels
on the Channel Summary View, select the Phase Trigger view to set the Phase Trigger parameters.
Configure the Phase Triggers from

the Phase Trigger View.
Figure 81: Selecting the Phase Trigger View
Sensor Signal
Upper Trigger
Hysteresis
Threshold
Lower Trigger
Conditioned
Signal
Figure 82: Phase Trigger Processing
Threshold
The Threshold is the center of the triggering region as shown in Figure 82. Typically this is set at
approximately at the midpoint of the signal change when the transducer passes over the notch or
projection. When Auto Threshold is disabled, the threshold is set to the configured Threshold
voltage.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Auto Threshold
Selecting Auto Threshold causes the UMM to measure the peak-to-peak Phase Trigger signal and to
automatically set the triggering threshold at the midpoint. The UMM will update the auto threshold
value each revolution.
Hysteresis
Hysteresis is a dead-band region centered on the threshold that provides noise immunity. Half of
the hysteresis is applied above the threshold and half below. Increasing the hysteresis level
increases the immunity to noise on the Phase Trigger signal.
Event Ratio
Event Ratio is the number of trigger pulses for each shaft revolution. For example, for a probe
observing gear teeth on the shaft, the event ratio would be the number of gear teeth. The Event
Ratio is a floating point number that you can set to non-integer values for cases where there are
multiple gears between the speed measurement transducer and the shaft requiring the speed
measurement. If the UMM Firmware revision is 3.80 or higher, you can set the event ratio to be
between 0 and 1. Previous firmware revisions required the event ratio to be greater than or equal
to 1.
Trigger Type (Notch/Projection)

Setting the triggering to Notch causes the Phase Trigger event to occur on a falling sensor signal.
Setting the triggering to Projection causes the Phase Trigger event to occur on a rising sensor
signal.
Direction of Rotation
Set the direction of rotation (Clockwise or Counterclockwise). SETPOINT displays the direction of
rotation for information only. Direction of rotation does not affect signal processing. Direction of
rotation is typically determined when viewing the shaft from the driver looking towards the load.
Enable Percent Change and Dual Probe Percent Change

Only applicable to reverse rotation and zero speed channel types, enabling the percent change and
setting the Dual Probe Percent Change value causes the UMM to invalidate the zero speed or
reverse speed measurement when the two transducer speed differ by more than the configured
percentage. The percentage is configured as a percentage of the zero speed or reverse speed full
scale.
Lead Transducer
Used with reverse rotation channels, the lead transducer indicates the transducer that will see the
trigger notch or projection first when the shaft is turning in the forward direction.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Max OK
Max OK is a voltage level that if exceeded indicates a transducer fault. Typically this is set to the
value the transducer outputs when the probe is open or shorted. For most probes, this level is more
positive than -1.00 V.
Min OK
Min OK is a minimum voltage level that if violated indicates a transducer fault. Typically this is set to
a level indicated by shorted wiring, such as if the transducer power was shorted to the signal. Since
a Phase Trigger transducer often passes over a deep notch or high projection, the Min OK setting is
typically not used and is set to -24V.
Fault Mode
When Fault Mode is set to Latched Fault the monitor module will continue to annunciate a fault
until RESET. When Fault Mode is set to Unlatched Fault the monitor module will clear the fault
without user intervention as soon as transducer operation returns to normal. Setting Fault Mode to
Timed Fault Defeat and No Latching causes the monitor module to hold the fault condition for a
set time period after the transducer operation returns to normal. This time delay allows internal
amplitude detectors and filters to settle after the fault is resolved.
Alert Latching
Setting Alert Latching to Latching causes the SETPOINT system to continue to annunciate an Alert
alarm until RESET (see section 4.2.5) even if the Alert alarm condition no longer exists. Non-
Latching will cause the SETPOINT system to clear the Alert alarm annunciation immediately when
the input is no longer violating the Alert set point.
Danger Latching
Setting Danger Latching to Latching causes the SETPOINT system to continue to annunciate an
Danger alarm until RESET (see section 4.2.5) even if the Danger condition no longer exists. Non-
Latching will cause the SETPOINT system to clear the Danger alarm annunciation immediately when
the input is no longer violating the Danger set point.
3.4.12 Configuring Simulated Phase Triggers

You can use a simulated phase trigger signal for speed based measurements on machines that do
not have a physical phase trigger transducer and run at a constant speed. Simulated phase triggers
provide valid vector amplitudes (the phases will drift), synchronous waveform sampling, and a speed
value associated with the channel.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
IMPORTANT: Simulated Phase Triggers do not reflect the
actual machine running condition. A simulated phase trigger
will continue to show a speed value even when the machine is
off.
Create simulated phase triggers using the Phase Trigger View:
Configure simulated Phase Triggers

from the Phase Trigger View.
Figure 83: Selecting the Phase Trigger View
Click the Add Button and select simulated phase trigger:
The simulated phase trigger will

show up in the simulated phase
trigger grid. Set the simulated

Associate simulated phase triggers to channels from the Summary View the same way as actual
phase triggers as shown in Section 3.4.5.10.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Simulated phase triggers operation:
Simulated Phase Triggers do not consume a channel.
Simulated Phase Triggers are always on, regardless of machine operating condition.
Simulated Phase Triggers do not have alarm or fault statuses.
Simulated Phase Triggers do not show as a bargraph on the front panel.
Phase measurements are invalid when using simulated Phase Triggers.
Simulated Phase Triggers show on the display detail views.
Simulated Phase Triggers show in CMS.
Simulated Phase Triggers are not synchronized between UMMs
3.4.13 Configuring Discrete Inputs

You can configure UMM Discrete Input channels to perform Trip Multiply, Inhibit, and Bypass
functions for groups of channels within the rack. When the rack is protecting multiple machine
trains, this feature allows independent control functions for each train. After configuring the rack
channels, open the Contacts View as shown in Figure 84.
Configure the Contacts from the

Contacts View.

Configure which group of channels
the contact will affect by setting the
Group Name.
Figure 85: Setting the Contact Group Name
Contact Function
Select the function the contact will perform for the group as shown in Figure 86. The available
functions are:
None: The discrete input contact is not used for rack functions.
Bypass: When active, the contact puts all channels in the group into bypass. (See Section 4.4.4.5)
Inhibit: When active, the contact inhibits alarming on all channels in the group. (See Section 4.4.4.5)
Trip Multiply: When active, the contact asserts trip multiply for all channels in the group that have
trip multiply enabled. (See Section 3.4.6.9)
Figure 86 shows an example configuration where 3 fans and one pump are protected from the same
rack using 4 discrete inputs to enable or disable the Trip Multiply function for each machine
independently.

3.4.16 Relay Configuration
The SETPOINT alarm logic configuration allows you to graphically diagram your logic using either
your point tag names or instrumentation names. Programming uses terms similar to how you would
describe your voting methodology.
Below are some common machine voting methodologies described by the simple phrases:
[Any RV Danger] [on Train A] = Trip
[All Axial Danger] [on Thrust Bearing] = Trip
NOTE: Configure modules and channels prior to configuring

relay voting logic.
Open the Relay Editor View

Enter the Relay Editor View by clicking the Relays view button. Figure 95 shows the Relay Editor
View.
Select a Monitoring Module

The drop list at the left lists the monitoring modules available according to the type (UMM or TMM)
followed by the slot number in parenthesis. Select the monitor you want to configure for relay
voting. The screen will show four relay blocks that represent the relay outputs as shown in Figure

Relay Operation Configuration

Follow these steps to configure the relay operation:
1) To enable a relay, click the check box labeled On. The relay is enabled when the On box is
checked and disabled when unchecked.
2) Replace the default Relay Output 1 name with a more descriptive name that will help you
better identify the relay on the display.
3) Set the normal operation relay state. Normally De-energized will un-power the relay under
normal operating conditions and energize the relay on alarm.
APPLICATION ALERT: Relays will transition to the de-

energized state on loss of power, during configuration, or
during firmware upgrade processes. Ensure the relays will
not trip the machine when using Normally Energized relay
operation during servicing.
4) Set the latching. Latched relays will hold their state until a RESET event occurs from either
the RESET button on the RCM, the RESET contact on the RCM is closed, or command from
the SETPOINT software.

for list of input blocks.
Logic Input Block
Figure 97: Logic Input Block Buttons
When you assign Asset Level 1 or Asset Level 2 names to channels the software will automatically
organize them into groups. UMM channels 1, 2 and 3, 4 are automatically associated into XY pairs if
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
they are the same channel type. The For Any, For All, For Any XY, and For Any XY Dependent
blocks perform voting logic across all points in a group or pair.
Groups provide the fastest way to configure your relays.
Note that you can freely drag and drop the blocks to better organize the view.
3.4.16.4.1 For Any Logic Block

The "For Any" block performs the logical OR function across all channels in the group. When any
channel evaluates to true the output of the block is true.
3.4.16.4.2 For All Logic Block

The "For All" block performs the logical AND function across all channels in the group. All channels
must evaluate to true for the output of the block to be true.
3.4.16.4.3 For Any XY Pair

The For Any XY Pair block performs the logical AND functions across the two channels in an XY pair
and then the logical OR function across all pairs in the group. When both channels of any XY pair
evaluate to true the output of the block is true. UMM channels 1,2 and 3,4 are automatically paired
if they are the same channel type.
Logically, the For Any XY Pair block performs the following for all pairs in the group:
(X1 AND Y1) OR (X2 AND Y2) OR (X3 AND Y3) OR
Some systems refer to this AND voting method as True AND.
3.4.16.4.4 For Any XY Pair (Dependent)

The For Any XY Pair (Dependent) block performs the logical AND functions across the two channels
in an XY pair and then the logical OR function across all pairs in the group but removes failed
channels from the evaluation. When both channels of any XY pair are OK and evaluate to true the
output of the block is true. If one channel of any XY pair evaluates to true and the other channel is
not OK the output of the block is true. UMM channels 1,2 and 3,4 are automatically paired if they
are the same channel type.
Some systems refer to this AND voting method as Normal AND.
Configuring a Logic Input Block

The Logic Input Block has 3 configuration values:
With: Sets the channels included in the voting.
For: Sets the severity used for the voting.
On: Sets the measurement type used for the voting.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)

Figure 98 shows a For Any Logic Input block with the With drop list expanded. The list always
includes The Rack option which includes all channels in the rack. The drop list will also include any
Asset Level 1 or Asset Level 2 assets you defined (see 3.4.5.8). Selecting Turbine will apply the
voting logic to all channels associated with the Turbine.

Figure 100: Logic Input Block "On"
Figure 100 shows the Logic Input Block with the On drop list expanded. On allows you to limit the
voting to just one type of channel, such as Radial Vibration channels. The list is automatically filtered
to only include channel types that are active in the rack.
Channel Input Blocks

Channel Input Blocks provide a way to perform Boolean logic on individual channel statuses. Clicking
the Channel button creates a Channel Input Block as shown in Figure 101.
Figure 101: Channel Input Block
Set the Slot, Channel Number, and Alarm Severity for the desired status. Monitors with firmware
revision 4.X or newer support measurement level logic. The Measurement field provides a drop list
of the measurements available in the monitor.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
IMPORTANT: For firmware older than 4.X revision, leave the
Measurement field at the default value of ALL.
Checking the Not OK Votes True checkbox causes the block to evaluate TRUE when the transducer
enters a fault condition or the configured condition. When used with an And operation as shown in
Figure 102, the resulting logic will trip the relay when:
Both channels enter Danger.

One channel is in Danger, and the other is Not OK.
Both channels are Not OK.

Configuring DPDT Pairs

Sometimes it is necessary to throw two sets of contacts based on the same voting logic. The
SETPOINT system supports Double-Pole, Double-Throw (DPDT) relay outputs by driving two Single-
Pole, Double-Throw relays from the same logic output. Simply connect a second relay to the logic
output as shown in Figure 107.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Figure 107: DPDT configuration
Group Lines
The SETPOINT system provides 16 group lines that provide voting across statuses from multiple
monitors. Any logical operation that requires inputs from multiple monitors consumes one of the
group lines. Group lines are handled by the software and generally require no user intervention. If
the software indicates that there are not enough group lines available to perform the voting
function, you can typically organize channels in the monitors to minimize cross monitor voting and
free up group lines.
Viewing the Summary

After you have configured relays, you can easily see a summary of the relay configurations by
selecting Summary from the view drop list as shown in Figure 108. You can also change relay name,
energization, and latching mode from the Relay Summary View.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)

3.5 Configuring the System Access Module
Open the SAM configuration as shown in Figure 109. You can also click the Properties tab to see a
vertical list of configuration values as shown in Figure 111.
Configure the SAM from the SAM

Configuration View.
Figure 109: Opening the SAM Configuration View
3.5.1 Password
You can assign a password to restrict access to the SETPOINT system. The password is blank by
default (no password) and there are no restrictions. Filling in a password causes SETPOINT to
prompt the user for the password before allowing access to set time, download configuration, or
upgrade firmware. To set a password, enter the same password in the Password and Confirm
Password cells as shown in Figure 110. Other than change access, the password has no effect on
normal monitor or Modbus communication operation.
Enter the same password in the

Password and Confirm Password
columns to password protect the
Setpoint system.
Figure 110: Setting a Password
The Password setting for a SAM installed in slot 3 is not used and is disabled.
3.5.2 Setting the SAM Modbus TCP/IP Settings

You must set the SETPOINT Ethernet TCP/IP network communication parameters to be compatible
with your DCS. The Modbus TCP/IP settings are highlighted in Figure 111.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Figure 111: Ethernet Modbus Configuration
Ethernet Modbus Enabled

Check or clear this box to enable or disable Modbus communication from the DCS Ethernet Port on
the SAM faceplate.
DCS IP
The Internet Protocol (IP) address is used by the Ethernet switching equipment to route packets.
Each device on a network subnet must have a unique IP address. Consult your network
administrator for a static IP address.
The default IP address is 192.168.0.1.
SETPOINT only uses static IP addresses. DHCP (dynamic address assignment) is not supported.
DCS Subnet
The subnet mask is used to identify the IP address bits that define a subnet. Consult your network
administrator for a valid subnet mask.
The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
DCS Default Gateway

The default gateway is the address used when a client resides on a different subnet. Typically the
default gateway is the address of a router used to route packets between the subnets. Consult your
network administrator for a valid default gateway IP address.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.5.3 Serial Modbus Configuration
Serial SAM communication is available only with SAM modification part number 1221631 or newer
SAMs with serial communication (See Section 1.3.) SAMs without this capability will ignore the
configuration settings listed shown in Figure 112 and explained in this section.
Figure 112: Serial Modbus Configuration
Serial Modbus Enabled

Check the box to enable serial Modbus from the serial connector. When not using serial
communication, this check box should be cleared.
Baud Rate
Select the baud rate. The SAM supports baud rates of 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800,
2400, and 1200 baud.
Parity
Configure the parity for None, Odd, or Even. The default is None.
Stop Bits
Configure the number of stop bits. One or Two. The default is one.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Format
Configure the physical interface for RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 differential voltage levels.
3.5.4 Modbus Operation Configuration

The Modbus parameters listed in this section apply to either Ethernet or Serial Modbus operation.
Figure 113: Modbus Operation Configuration Values
Slave Address
The Slave Address is the slave ID used with the standard Modbus map for serial Modbus. The SAM
ignores the Slave Address setting when using Modbus/TCP or a custom Modbus map. When using a
custom Modbus map, the slave address is set in the imported map (See Section 3.6.5). If you need
the SETPOINT rack to support multiple slave addresses, you must configure these in a custom
Modbus map.
Scaled Value
Scaled Value is the full scale data range applied only to the Modbus scaled values. When the
measurement value is 100% of the configured full scale, the Modbus scaled value will equal the
configured Scaled Value. Table 16 shows typical applications for the Scaled Value.

Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Modbus Map
Information only. This value indicates whether the SAM is using the standard Modbus map as
described in section 3.6 or a custom map as described in section 3.6.5. To revert back from a custom
map to a standard map see instructions in section 3.6.5.5.
Comm Fault Time Delay

If the SAM does not receive a valid Modbus command within the configured Comm Fault Time Delay,
the SAM will indicate a Modbus error and log a failure event in the System Event list. Comm Fault
Time Delay applies to both Ethernet and Serial Modbus connections when enabled. When both are
enabled, if either network fails to receive a command within Comm Fault Time Delay, the SAM will
flag an event.
Word Order
For multi-word Modbus variables, the Word Order sets whether the SAM will put the higher or
lower word first in registers.
Not-Swapped: The lower (least significant) word is placed in the lower register address for a multi-
word Modbus value.
Swapped: The higher (most significant) word is placed in the lower register address for a multi-word
Modbus value.
Allow Invalid Address

When Allow Invalid Address is checked, requests for a register with an undefined address will not
generate a Modbus error. Undefined registers will return a value of zero. When not checked, the
SAM follows the Modbus standard and returns an error response when a command addresses an
undefined register.
3.5.5 CMS (DAC) Settings

CMS (DAC) Enabled, CMS (DAC) IP Address, CMS (DAC) Default Gateway, and CMS (DAC) Subnet
configure the SETPOINT CMS (Data ACquisition) interface. Refer to the SETPOINT CMS manual
(document #1176125) for information on setting these parameters.
The CMS (DAC) settings for a SAM installed in slot 3 are not used and are disabled.
3.5.6 Time Zone

Set the time zone to the time zone you want the display to show. The time zone only affects the
times shown in the SETPOINT Maintenance Application and on the front panel display. The time
zone does not affect data stored in CMS.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.5.7 Setting Simulator Enabled
The SAM supports a display demonstration mode that is useful to demonstrate the display user
interface. Display mode does not affect machine protection and does not make changes to UMM
data, TMM data, or Modbus operation. This option does not turn on the simulator. It only enables
you to enter simulation mode from the display.
This checkbox should be unchecked for normal operation.
The Simulator setting for a SAM installed in slot 3 is not used and is disabled.
3.5.8 Display Cursor Visible

When checked, the Display Cursor Visible option places a cursor on the touch screen at the current
cursor position. The cursor is necessary when using an external mouse or other pointing device
(purchased through separate modification). In general, the visible cursor is not required when using
the touch screen. Display Cursor visible does not apply to a SAM installed in slot 3.
3.5.9 Network Time Protocol (NTP) Configuration

The SETPOINT rack can synchronize its time with other systems using an NTP server connected to
the DCS Ethernet port, the SETPOINT CMS PI Server connected to the DAC/CMS port, or using
Modbus commands.
1. Set the Time Source to NTP.
2. Set the Internet Protocol IP

Address for the NTP server.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.6 Modbus Configuration
The SETPOINT System Access Module provides an option for communication via Modbus TCP
protocol or via serial Modbus RTU (with serial capable SAM hardware, see document 1337569). The
SETPOINT system provides a default fixed register Modbus Map and can also use a custom register
map imported from a spreadsheet. Other configurable parameters are set on the SAM
Configuration View (section 3.5.2). The default map has been optimized to minimize the number of
read operations required for most applications.
This section lists the SETPOINT Modbus supported functions and registers and assumes the reader is
experienced with programming the control system to access data via Modbus.

Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.6.2 Input and Holding Registers
The SETPOINT system provides these data values in Input and Holding Registers:
Measurement data as 32 bit floating point values in engineering units

Alert and danger set-points as 32 bit floating point in engineering units
Current system time
Measurement data as 16 bit integer values scales 0 to 100% of full-scale
You can use either the Read Input Registers function or the Read Holding Registers function to
access the data. Table 18 lists the register order for the data values and alarm set-points. For each
data type, the registers are ordered by slot and channel from Slot 3, Channel 1 to Slot 16, Channel 6
for a total of 84 channels. Refer to the exported Modbus map (See Section 3.6.4) for register
locations for specific data.
Data provided as 32 Bit Floating point values use two 16 bit registers. The data endian is
configurable to have the low data word in the first register and the high data word in the second
register or vice versa.
The set-point registers contain the current set-points. The values shown do not change with Trip
Multiply activity. Currently set-points are read only.
Table 18: Modbus Input and Holding Registers
Register Type Format
Direct measurement value (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Gap measurement value (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Direct Alert Over Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Direct Danger Over Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Direct Alert Under Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Direct Danger Under Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Current Rack Time 64 bit unsigned integer1
Direct Scaled Value 0 to 100% (84 channels) 16 bit unsigned integer
1
The timestamp value returned in these registers is an epoch timestamp and is the number of ticks that have elapsed since January 1,
1970 at midnight UTC/GMT, where 1 tick equals 100 nanoseconds (10-7 seconds). The following example shows how to convert the
returned register values into a standard date and time.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Example: With the SAM Word Order configuration option set to Swapped, the value in register 401009 is the most significant word of
the timestamp value. An example timestamp is:
401009: 0x0031
401010: 0xDEC6
401011: 0x89E2
401012: 0xEEF0
The 64-bit hexadecimal timestamp value (in ticks) is 0x0031DEC689E2EEF0. The decimal equivalent is: 14037218157063920. Multiply this
value by 10-7 to convert from 100 ns ticks to seconds. For the example, this is 1403721816 seconds. There are various converters on the
Internet to convert a Unix hexadecimal timestamp to a human readable date such as http://www.epochconverter.com/. For the example,
the result is: Wed, 25 Jun 2014, 18:43:36 UTC/GMT
With the Word Order configuration option on the SAM module set to Not Swapped, the value in register 401012 is the most significant
word of the timestamp value and the example timestamp will read as:
401009: 0xEEF0
401010: 0x89E2
401011: 0xDEC6
401012: 0x0031
Additional measurements, such as band-pass or tracking filter measurements, follow the Direct data
registers, using the register order as shown in Table 19. These registers are repeated in sequential
order for all available measurements.
Table 19: Modbus Data for Additional Measurements
Register Type Format
Measurement n (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Measurement n Alert Over Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Measurement n Danger Over Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Measurement n Alert Under Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Measurement n Danger Under Set-point (84 channels) 32 bit floating point
Measurement n Scaled Value (84 channels) 16 bit unsigned integer
Using the Hydro Displacement channel as an example, there will be register blocks as shown in Table
19 for: 1X, 2X, and Band-Pass filtered values 1 through 8. Refer to the exported Modbus map (See
Section 3.6.4) for register locations for specific data.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
3.6.3 Coils and Discrete Input Contacts
The SETPOINT system provides these single bit (on/off) statuses as Coils and Discrete Inputs:
Data Valid Rack Reset

Channel Fault Rack Inhibit
Alert Rack Trip Multiply
Danger Rack OK
Trip Multiply Rack Power 2
Bypass Rack Power 1
Channel Relay State
You can access these statuses using the Read Coils or Read Input Status functions.
NOTE: SAM Firmware revision 4.02 supports writing to the

Rack Reset coil to reset latched statuses, Trip Multiply coil
to activate or deactivate trip multiply across the rack, and
the Inhibit coil to activate or deactivate rack level inhibit.
Statuses set over Modbus are ORed with the contacts set
at the rack. That is, both must be cleared to exit the
condition.
Other statuses are read only and writing has no effect. All
statuses are read only with older firmware revisions.
Table 20 lists the coil order for the various status values. For each status type, the coils are ordered
by slot and channel from Slot 3, Channel 1 to Slot 16, Channel 6. Refer to the exported Modbus map
(See Section 3.6.4) for coil locations for specific data.
Table 20: SETPOINT Modbus Coils and Discrete Inputs
Register Type Measurement Name Data Format
Channel Data Valid Direct 1 = Valid: 0 = Invalid
Channel Fault Direct 1 = Fault: 0 = No Fault
Channel Alert Direct 1 = Alert: 0 = No Alert
Channel Danger Direct 1 = Danger: 0 = No Danger
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Channel Trip Multiply Direct 1 = TM Active : 0 = TM Inactive
Channel Bypass Direct 1 = Bypassed : 0 = Not

Bypassed
Channel Relay Direct 1 = Active : 0 = Inactive
Rack Reset 1 = Active : 0 = Inactive
Rack Inhibit 1 = Active : 0 = Inactive
Rack Trip Multiply 1 = TM Active : 0 = TM Inactive
Rack OK 1 = Not OK : 0 = OK
Rack Power 2 1 = Not OK : 0 = OK
Rack Power 1 1 = Not OK : 0 = OK
Measurement statuses for individual measurements follow the rack and channel statuses as shown
in Table 21. Using the Gap measurement as an example, there will be a block of coils where the first
84 coils correspond to Gap Valid for the 84 possible channels in the rack. This is followed by the Gap
Alert and Gap Danger statuses for all 84 possible channels.
Table 21: Additional Measurement Statuses
Register Type Data Format
Measurement n Valid (84 channels) 1 = Valid: 0 = Invalid
Measurement n Alert (84 channels) 1 = Alert: 0 = No Alert
Measurement n Danger (84 channels) 1 = Danger: 0 = No Danger
Using the Hydro Displacement channel as an example, there will be measurement status blocks as
shown in Table 21 for: 1X, 2X, and Band-Pass filtered measurements 1 through 8 sequentially.
Packing Coils and Discrete Inputs into Words

You can pack single bit coils/discrete inputs into 16 bit registers for access using input and holding
register functions.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
The standard map does not pack bits and defaults the bit field to 1. When the Address is in the
coil or discrete input address range and Bit is set to 1 as shown in Figure 114, access the data with
Read Coils or Read Input Status.
Slave Id Address Bit Group Value Slot Channel Measurement Name Channel Name
Asset 1 Asset 2 Data Format Unit
1 7 1 Channel Channel Valid 4 1 Direct Acceleration 1 1 = Valid : 0 = Invalid
1 9 1 Channel Channel Valid 4 3 Direct Aero Accel 3 1 = Valid : 0 = Invalid
1 10 1 Channel Channel Valid 4 4 1X Tracking Filter Aero Velocity Tracking 4 1 = Valid : 0 = Invalid

1 15 1 Channel Channel Valid 5 3 Diff Case Exp Case Exp Dual Ch 3 1 = Valid : 0 = Invalid
Figure 114: Address and Bit Settings for Individual Coils
To pack the bits, set the address to a value within the holding register or input register range. Then
set the Bit field to the bit location within the word address between 1 (Least Significant Bit) and 16
(Most Significant Bit) as shown in Figure 115. You will set the same address for all coils or discrete
inputs packed within a single register with unique bit locations for each.

3.6.4 Exporting the Modbus Map

The easiest way to view the SETPOINT system Modbus register map is to export the map as a .csv file
and view it in Microsoft Excel.
To export the Modbus map in a .csv format, click the Export Modbus Map under the File drop list.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Under File, click the Export Modbus
Map option to create a .csv version
of the Modbus map.
Figure 116: Exporting the Modbus Map
The software will prompt you for a file name and location to save the exported map.
Software versions prior to 3.01 saved the file with a .xls extension but was saved in a modified

3.6.5 Creating a Custom Modbus Map
You can create a custom Modbus map to simplify DCS programming or to match a map of a system
you are replacing. Follow these steps to create a custom Modbus Map.
Export the Standard Map

Import and Change the Map in Excel
Import the Custom Map
Export the Standard Map

In general, it is easier to create a custom Modbus Map by starting with a standard map exported into
Microsoft Excel since the exported format is the same as the required import format. Follow the
instructions in section 3.6.4 to export the map.
Import and Change the Map in Excel

Open the exported .csv file in Microsoft Excel to delete unwanted values and to edit the addresses
for the desired values. The exported map has the correct fields in the correct order for importing
(Refer to Table 22.) Do not change field organization. Only the values marked as Required for
Import in Table 22 are required to successfully import the custom map. Other fields in the exported
map are for information only.
IMPORTANT: The fields shown in Table 22 and Figure 118

must be maintained in the order shown to correctly import
into the Setpoint software.
NOTE: A custom Modbus map is limited to 1000 registers.

Delete unused registers from the standard map.
Import the Custom Map

Follow the steps shown in Figure 119 and Figure 120 to import a custom Modbus map. After
importing, the software will validate the entries in the table. If there are no errors, the software will
display the successful completion dialog shown in Figure 121. If there are errors, the dialog will
include a list of the spreadsheet rows that contain the errors.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Under File, click the Import Modbus
Map option to import the .csv
version of the custom Modbus map.

3.7 Configuring a System without a System Access Module
The SETPOINT monitor modules can operate without a System Access Module (SAM) installed in the
rack. Operation without a SAM provides a cost effective solution when the monitors do not need to
function as a system such as when monitoring many small machines. Because the SAM provides
system level functions, operation without the SAM requires you to:
1. Create a separate configuration file for each monitor module.
2. Connect the USB to each monitor module and download the configuration for the connected
module.
3.8 Saving the Configuration

Clicking the Save button opens the
Save File dialog box.

Clicking the Send button opens the

Send File dialog box.
If the configured module does not

match the module in the rack, an
error flag appears in this column.
Figure 124: Sending the Configuration to the Rack
IMPORTANT: Sending a configuration to a Setpoint monitor

causes the monitor to reboot. The protection function is not
performed while the module is rebooting.
APPLICATION ALERT: Relays will transition to the de-

energized state on loss of during configuration. Ensure the
relays will not trip the machine when using Normally
Energized relay operation during configuration.
APPLICATION ALERT: Modbus communication is interrupted

for approximately 30 seconds when reconfiguring the SAM
Modbus Maps.
After clicking the Send button, the software will build and validate the configuration. During this
time a progress bar is shown.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)

4.1.7 Switchable BNC Connectors

SETPOINT racks purchased with the display option provide three switchable BNC connectors.
Switchable BNC connectors allow you to quickly change the buffered output signals into a portable
data collector or other test equipment without connecting and reconnecting BNC cables.
The Phase Trigger BNC connector can only be switched to a Phase Trigger signal. The other two
connectors can be switched to any UMM channels in the rack.
NOTE: The TMM does not support buffered outputs.

4.2 RCM Operation
This section describes operation of the Rack Connection Module (RCM). The RCM performs these
functions:
Input power protection and indication
Buffered output connections

Fault Relay
Discrete Control Signal input
Reset button
4.2.1 Input Power Protection and Indication

The RCM includes power input fuse protection and reverse wiring protection. All other power
supply voltages and conditioning circuits are distributed on the SAM and monitoring modules.
The RCM has two LEDs that indicate the rack power status. The normal operation LED states are
shown in Table 29. Refer to section 5.1.1 for information on troubleshooting if the LEDs are not as
shown.
Table 29: RCM LED States
LED Normal Condition Description
P1 On (Green) Power1 is connected and is between 18 and 36 Vdc.
P2 On (Green) Power 2 is connected and is between 18 and 36 Vdc.
4.2.2 Buffered Output Connections

The RCM provides buffered, EMI protected output signals for the 56 dynamic channels. Refer to
section 0 for information on the signals available.
4.2.3 Fault Relay

The fault relay is a redundant design that can withstand a relay failure and still indicate a fault.
There are two relays connected such that either the SAM or Monitoring modules can indicate a fault.
The fault relay mode is normally energized when the system is operating correctly and de-energizes
to indicate a fault. This operation is fixed so that the system will always indicate a fault on power
loss. The fault relay connections, Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) are in reference to
the fault conditions. When a fault occurs, the NC contact will make contact with the relay armature
(ARM).
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
4.2.4 Discrete Control Signal Inputs
There are 4 discrete control input signals on the RCM. These signals are all active low which
means the function is enabled when the signal is pulled to common.
Table 30: Discrete Input Functions
Input Name Description
RST Reset Resets all latched status conditions. Active low. Edge
sensitive: Resets on High to Low transition.
INH Rack Inhibit Inhibits all alarming in the rack when low.
TM Trip Multiply Causes vibration alarm set-points to be multiplied by the

configured factor when low.
SAI Special Alarm Inhibit SAI inhibits all alarms for Aero-derivative channel types.
The UMM does not reset latched alarms on SAI and
latched alarms are annunciated after SAI is deactivated.
For channel types other than Aero-derivative, when SAI

is active, all the non-primary Alert alarms are inhibited.
4.2.5 The Reset Button

The Reset button clears and acknowledges latched alarm and fault conditions for all modules in the
SETPOINT rack. If the current values are still violating the alarm set-points or are in the fault
condition, pressing the reset button will have no effect.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
4.3 SAM Operation
This section describes the System Access Module (SAM) operation. The SAM performs these
functions:
System Level Configuration
Modbus communication
System Event and Alarm Event Lists
Local Display
Dynamic Data Collection
4.3.1 System Level Configuration

When a SAM is installed in the rack, connecting to the USB port on any monitoring module gives you
configuration access to any module in the rack. Configuration information sent from the software
routes to the SAM which then distributes the appropriate configurations to all modules in the rack.
4.3.2 Modbus Communication

The SAM supports the Modbus TCP communication protocol. All monitoring modules forward the
latest data to the SAM for publishing via Modbus. Refer to section 3.5.6 for information on
supported Modbus functions and the register map.
4.3.3 System Event and Alarm Event Lists

The SAM is the central storage location of system events and alarm events. Events generated by all
modules are stored in lists available from the SAM. The SAM time tags the events and stores the
events in non-volatile memory.
4.3.4 Dynamic Data Collection

SD Card Slot
The SD Card slot supports standard density secure digital (SD) cards and high capacity secure digital
(SDHC) cards. The SD card is used only with the Dynamic Data option (future) and provides non-
volatile local storage of transient events. The SD card also allows you to remove the card to transfer
machine dynamic data to another computer when the SETPOINT rack is not permanently networked
to a data acquisition computer.
4.3.5 Operation without a SAM

The presence or absence of a SAM does not affect machinery protection in any manner. However,
the absence of a SAM affects digital communications functionality as summarized in Table
31. Additionally, users can configure a SETPOINT rack without a SAM present, but certain limitations
will exist as summarized in Table 31.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Table 31: Operation without a SAM
Configuration If cross-module relay voting logic is required, a SAM must be present

in the rack during the configuration process. However, the SAM can
Software
later be removed permanently (or temporarily) and the cross-
module voting will continue to function.
Without a SAM, inter-module USB communications are not

supported. Thus, if a SAM is not present, you must plug into each
modules USB port, configure the module, and then move the cable
to the next module to perform its configuration.
Event List Each monitor module records only the events generated by that
module, and its event list is cleared when the module is
rebooted. When connecting to Rack Maintenance Software, the
event list will thus only be displayed from the connected monitor
module not the entire rack.
Events are recorded in sequence but not time-stamped with the

actual time.
The monitors record the results of system level actions, such as

channels leaving alarm on a reset, rather than the reset event itself.
Modbus Modbus RTU (serial) and Modbus TCP (Ethernet) communications

Communications are not supported without a SAM present.
Display A permanent display cannot be connected to the rack without a

SAM present.
Maintenance The Maintenance Software will only be able to display information

Software from and alter settings (such as bypass and firmware upgrades) for
the connected module not any other module.
It will not be possible to see RCM conditions and statuses (power
OK, rack inhibit, rack trip multiply, etc.)
Condition Condition monitoring functionality is not available without a CM-

Monitoring Data Enabled eSAM installed in the rack.
If a CM-Enabled eSAM is removed from the rack, condition
monitoring data from any CM-Enabled UMMs or TMMs will be
missing for the duration of the eSAMs absence. I.e., the system is
not able to temporarily buffer a limited amount of condition
monitoring data and later restore it when a SAM is detected.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
4.4 UMM and TMM Operation
During operation, the UMM and TMMs primary function is to perform measurements on the input
data signals, compare the signals to alarm set-points, and to vote the alarms across channels to
determine trip conditions. This section covers:
Data Measurements
Alarming
Relay Voting
Diagnostics
Communication
The SETPOINT system also provides several control inputs that change UMM Operation Modes.
4.4.1 Data Measurement Operation

The UMM conditions and filters the transducer signals to create data measurement values. This
section lists the basic measurement types. Refer to section 3.4.6 for a complete list of channels and
measurements.
Direct and Band-Pass

Direct and band-pass measurements are filtered and amplitude detected measurements of dynamic
input signals. Depending on the channel type, the processing can include peak to peak, zero-to-
peak, or RMS detection.
The UMM provides integration to convert velocity to displacement or acceleration to velocity. The
UMM does not support double-integration of acceleration to displacement.
Refer to section 3.4.6 for Direct measurement configuration options.
1X, 2X, nX Vectors and Tracking Filters

When assigned with a Phase Trigger, the UMM can extract the frequency components synchronous
to the speed or at multiples or fractions of the speed. Both vectors and tracking filters automatically
shift filters as the speed changes. Vectors measure both amplitude and phase while tracking filters
only measure amplitude.
Position
Position measurements include low pass filters to remove noise followed by mathematical
calculation to determine the position shift from a configured zero position.
Gap
The gap voltage is the average distance from a proximity probe tip to the shaft surface. Radial
Vibration channels using proximity probes measure gap voltage.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Bias
Seismic velocity and acceleration sensors generate a DC bias voltage. The UMM measures and
reports bias voltage for fault detection. Alarming is not supported on Bias measurements.
Speed
Phase trigger channels support speed measurements. Speed measurements are available for
alarming and may be routed to 4-20 mA outputs.
Refer to section 3.4.5.10 for phase trigger configuration options.
4.4.2 Alarming Operation

During alarming operation, the UMM:
Verifies data and set-point validity
Compares valid data to configured set-points
Qualifies alarms using a time delay
Latches alarms if configured
Alert
The Alert status indicates if the measurement or channel is violating the Alert set-point. If latching is
enabled, the alert status remains active unit the input signal is no longer violating the set-point and
the user has asserted RESET.
Danger
The Danger status indicates if the measurement or channel is violating the Danger set-point. If
latching is enabled, the Danger status remains active unit the input signal is no longer violating the
set-point and the user has asserted RESET.
Alarm Time Delay

The measurement must remain in the alarm state for the configured Alarm Time Delay before the
UMM will annunciate the alarm status.
Alarm Latching
SETPOINT supports latching and non-latching alarms. Latched alarms remain in the alarm state until
reset by the user even if the measurement is no longer violating the alarm set-point.
Speed Trigger Alarming

Phase Trigger speed alarms do not meet the Over-speed requirements outlined in API670 4th edition
and therefore are not recommended for machine over-speed protection. The shortest configurable
alarm time delay is 1 second.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
APPLICATION ALERT: Phase Trigger speed alarms are not
suitable for machine over-speed protection. Do not use the
speed alarms for over-speed shutdown.
4.4.3 Relay Voting Operation

The monitor module votes alarm statuses using internally generated statuses and signals from other
monitoring modules. The monitor uses the results of the voting logic to drive the relays. Refer to
section 3.4.16 for information on configuring relay voting logic.
4.4.4 Operation Modes

A SETPOINT monitor operates in one or more operational modes. These modes are described in the
following sections.
Boot Up
Upon applying power, the monitors will boot up. The boot up cycle last approximately 30 seconds.
During this time the monitor is not protecting the machine. After the processor configures the
inputs and the filters are settled, the monitor will begin normal operation if it has been configured.
All LEDs will be illuminated for several seconds during the Boot Up process.
Configuration Mode
The monitor is processing a new configuration. This occurs after a configuration has been down-
loaded from the software. After the configuration has been verified and loaded, the monitor
module will reboot and resume machine protection using the new configuration.
Normal Operation
In normal operation the SETPOINT system conditions the sensor input signals, filters and extracts the
machine related measurements, compares the measured parameters to user configured alarm set-
points, performs alarm voting, and activates relays based on the voting. The machine is protected in
this mode.
Fault Modes
The UMM continuously performs sensor diagnostics and self-check hardware diagnostics. A fault
will cause the UMM to disable alarming and bypass channel data in order to prevent false alarming.
4.4.4.4.1 Module Fault

The module has detected a serious hardware problem and has disabled all alarming on all channels.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
4.4.4.4.2 Channel Fault
A channel fault can occur on input sensor channels or output relay channels. When the UMM
detects a faulted channel, the UMM bypasses the failed channel and disables all alarming for that
channel.
4.4.4.4.3 Timed Fault Defeat

After boot up, if the Timed Fault Defeat option is enabled the monitor will delay by the defeat time
to allow the peak detectors to discharge from the jump in transducer output caused by power up.
The Timed Fault Defeat cycle also occurs after the UMM detects a transducer fault. Alarming is
inhibited and machinery protection is not enabled when the SETPOINT system is in Timed Fault
Defeat.
Inhibit and Bypass

Inhibit prevents alarm annunciation on the inhibited modules, channels, or relays. Bypass drives
values to the clamp values and thereby also inhibits alarms but also inhibits data value changes on
the Analog 4-20 outputs and Modbus output. The machine is not protected by Inhibited or Bypassed
components. The slide below summarizes where the paths are broken when bypassing or inhibiting
channels and alarms.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Trip Multiply
Trip Multiply temporarily increase the alarm set-points on vibration channels by a configured
multiplier (e.g. 2X or 3X). Trip Multiply is typically used to allow the machine to pass through a high
vibration transient condition such as passing through a machine critical speed during machine
startup.
4.4.5 Phase Trigger

Channel 4 on a UMM installed in slots 4 through 9 may be used as a Phase Trigger/Tachometer
channel. Phase Trigger channels accept inputs from Proximity transducers or Proximity switches.
The UMM supports alarming and 4 to 20 mA output for speed values measured on Phase Trigger
channels.
The six available Phase Triggers are shared on the backplane and may be accessed by any monitoring
module in the rack.
Phase Trigger Analog Output

The UMM outputs the Phase Trigger speed value at the Channel 4 analog 4 to 20 mA output.
The analog output is scaled to the configured full-scale speed with 4 mA equal to 0 rpm and
20 mA equal to full scale. The Phase Trigger analog output does not meet API670 Over-
speed requirements and should not be used for machine over-speed protection.
APPLICATION ALERT: Phase Trigger analog 4 to 20 mA outputs

are not suitable for machine over-speed protection. Do not
use the speed analog outputs for over-speed shutdown.
4.4.6 Diagnostics
The UMM creates statuses to indicate channel and measurement operation. View these statuses
from the SETPOINT Setup software, Display Module, or through the Modbus interface.
OK
OK indicates that the UMM is operating correctly. The UMM indicates a fault (not-OK) condition if it
detects a hardware, firmware, or configuration error. The rack fault relay will indicate a fault
condition if the UMM is not OK.
Bypass
This indicates if any of the UMM channels or relays is currently bypassed. A channel will enter
bypass if:
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
The user requested a bypass from the configuration software
A detected self-test failure is preventing alarming
A channel is active, but has invalid configuration
Rack Inhibit is active
The transducer input is outside the OK range
Channel Enabled
Channel Enabled status indicates if the channel is active or inactive. Enable or Disable channels
using the SETPOINT Setup software.

5.3 RJ45 Buffered Out

Buffered dynamic outs are available at an RJ45 connector on the UMM front faceplate. The RJ45
provides a quick connection to four dynamic signals and supports use of standard CAT5/CAT6 cables
and couplers to extend cable lengths.
Use Cable Assembly 100431 to convert from RJ45 signals to BNC connectors (See Accessory list in
the UMM Datasheet).
The maximum buffered out cable length is a function of the type of signals present in the cable. At
typical vibration frequencies on large machines (below 200 Hz and 10 mils pp) the crosstalk is
negligible to 500 ft. However, high amplitude and rapidly changing signals, such as phase triggers
can result in higher crosstalk and cable length may need to be shortened accordingly. Table 34
shows the RJ45 connector pin-out.

WARNING: CAT5/CAT6 cables can build up static charge that

can spark and ignite gasses in a hazardous area. Ensure that
cables are discharged before inserting into the rack.
APPLICATION ALERT: Buffered output cables are not

compatible with Ethernet devices such as hubs or switches.
Do not plug buffered out cables into Ethernet Devices.
5.4 Verifying the Signal Paths

Following the procedures in this section to verify the signal paths.
When periodic calibration is required as part of your quality assurance programs, SETPOINT
Vibration recommends a 3 year interval. Decrease the interval to 1 year when operating near the
upper temperature or humidity specifications or in corrosive environments. See document 1472326
for more information.
5.4.1 UMM Verification

This section describes how to verify the UMM measurements and alarms using function generators,
power supplies, and digital multi-meters (DMM). Connect to the rack using a PC as described in
section 3.4.2 and start the Display software as shown in Figure 128.
IMPORTANT: Test input signals will generate fault and alarm

conditions. Bypass relays before performing tests.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
NOTE: Validation tests may require configuration changes.
Save a copy of your configuration before making changes.
NOTE: When using a function generator to validate an IEPE

two wire sensor, change the configuration power option to
High-Z Input (refer to Section 3.4.7.3) to prevent the constant
current from back-driving the function generator and
distorting the signal.
The test setup is different depending on the type of measurement you are verifying. Disconnect the
sensor input wires and connect the test equipment as shown in the following sections that describe
the method for verifying each measurement type. If using a DMM to monitor the signal input,
connect the DMM+ to SIG and DMM- to COM at the UMM input connector. Set the DMM to
measure voltage.

Where the Voltage is the input power supply voltage, the Zero Position is the configured zero
position (Volts) and the Scale Factor is the transducer scale factor (mV/Unit). The Upscale Direction
setting determine the sign (+ or -) of the data. For a standard proximity probe, the equation above is
for Upscale Direction = Towards Probe.
For example, if the input signal is -9 Vdc, the Zero Position is set at -10 Vdc, the transducer Scale
Factor is 200 mV/mil, and the Upscale Direction is Towards Probe, the position reading is:
9 (10 )
1000 = 5

inside your band-pass filtered region, sufficiently far from either the high-pass or low-pass filters so
the filter does not significantly attenuate the signal. Table 35 lists recommended test frequencies
when the filters are left at the default (API 670 recommended, where applicable) settings.

Set the function generator amplitude according to the desired measurement level. Set the
amplitude according to the equation:

=

For example, if you want a the measurement to be 3 mils peak to peak with a 200 mV/mil transducer
setting, set your function generator amplitude to:

200
3 = 0.6 0.212
1000
When working with integrated units, use a conversion tool to calculate the non-integrated sensor
signal at the required frequency. There are many internet websites that provide conversion tools.
For example, if you want to test a velocity amplitude of 0.5 in/sec pk at 3,600 rpm, the tool provides
a sensor input of 0.345 g rms. When using a 100 mV/g accelerometer, the input would be 34.5 mV
rms.

The UMM converts the input currents to voltages through a 249 ohm resistor. For the default
transmitter ranges (e.g. Top Scale = 20 mA, Bottom Scale = 4 mA), vary the power supply input over
the Process Variable input range according to Table 36.
The measured value will be:

Where Input Voltage is the input power supply voltage, Full Scale is the maximum transmitter output
in Engineering Units, Bottom Scale is the minimum transmitter output in Engineering Units and the
Full Scale Voltage Changes is as shown in Table 36.

For example, if you set 0% open to correspond to 5 mA and 100% open to correspond to 17 mA, the
FullScaleVoltageChange is (17 mA 5 mA) * 249 = 2.988V.
The BottomScaleInputVoltage would be 5 mA *249 = 1.245 V.

Use the measurement equipment set up shown in Figure 152. You will need a function generator
capable of two outputs that are synchronized, with the ability to vary the frequency between the
two waveforms. You can use the Sync output for the Phase Trigger input if the Phase Trigger
channel is configured for +18V Proximity Switch. Set the DC bias on the function generator within
the OK limits for the transducer (see Section 8.1). Connect one function generator channel to the
Phase Trigger input and the other to the channel under test. If the function generator cannot
support the offset required for the signal to be in the OK range, you can offset the function
generator using a power supply as shown in Figure 150.

of a square wave will be 1.27 times the set amplitude.
NOTE: Machinery vibration phase measurements measure the

lag between the phase trigger edge and the next highest
vibration peak. Function generators set phase with 0 degrees at
the zero crossing of the sine wave. Expect a 90 degree or 270
degree difference between the set function generator phase and

waveforms. Set the DC bias on the function generator within the OK limits for the transducer (see
Section 8.1). Connect one function generator channel to the Radial Vibration input and the other to
the Velocity signal input. If the function generator cannot support the offset required for the signal
to be in the OK range, you can offset the function generator using a power supply as shown in Figure
150.
Adjust the function generator phase so that the Radial Vibration input lags the Velocity input by 90
degrees. The UMM integrates the Velocity waveform to displacement causing a 90 degree phase.
When the two input signals are 90 degrees apart, the Shaft Absolute Direct measurement will be
equal to the sum of the Radial Vibration Direct amplitude and the integrated Velocity Direct
amplitude.

5.4.1.1.6 Verifying Acceleration Enveloped Measurements
Acceleration enveloped measurements require an amplitude modulated input signal. Due to the
enveloping filter signal attenuation the measured amplitude can vary widely with the input
parameters.
Use the measurement equipment set up shown in Figure 150 with a function generator capable of
amplitude modulation.
Step 1: Set the carrier frequency to the middle of the configured frequency range for the
acceleration enveloped Direct measurement.
Set the carrier frequency to

the center of the configured
Direct filter range.
Set the amplitude modulation

frequency to the center of the
configured Bandpass filter range.

Step 2: Set the function generator amplitude modulation frequency to the center of the configured
acceleration enveloped band-pass filter you are verifying. For filter ORBP in Figure 154 the
modulation frequency would be 100 Hz.
Step 3: Set the amplitude modulation to 100%.

Figure 155 shows an example of a sine wave carrier modulated by a lower frequency square wave
function. For the example of an ORBP filter centered at 100 Hz, a modulating square wave a 100 Hz

configuration on the Position Configuration View (see section 3.4.8). Section 8.2.1.1
provides information on calculating where the zero position should be.

channel 1 and power supply 2 to a voltage between the zero position and range end for
channel 2. You can find the zero position configuration on the Position Configuration View
(see section 3.4.8). Section 8.2.2 provides information on calculating where the zero

2) When the channel 1 input is more negative than the zero position (cross-over voltage), the
composite output will be equal to the displacement read from channel 2.

Zero Position = -17 V
Full Scale Range = -0.15 0 - +0.15 inches

To verify channel 1, set the channel 2 input voltage more negative than the zero position, and
set the channel 1 input voltage more positive than the zero position. The differential expansion
composite value will now follow the channel 1 displacement.

Verifying Alarms
Follow the steps in this section to verify the operation of the SETPOINT system alarming. Use the
test set up described previously for the measurement that you are verifying the alarms on.
1) Set the input signal according to section 5.4.1.1 so that the measurement level is inside the
normal operating region (not in alarm).
2) Press the Reset button on the RCM or the Display (see section 4.1.1.2) to clear any latched
alarm conditions.
3) Raise (for over alarms) or lower (for under alarms) the input amplitude until the
measurement crosses the Alert set-point.
4) Wait the set configured alarm time delay.
5) Verify the channel entered the Alert condition. There will be an event in the Alarm Event
List and the alarm will be annunciated on the display according to section 4.1.1.1.
6) Press the reset button on the RCM or the Display (see section 4.1.1.2). Since the input is still
outside the normal operating region, the bar graph will still indicate Alert.
7) Continue increasing (for over alarms) or lowering (for under alarms) the input amplitude
until the measurement crosses the Danger set-point.
8) Wait the set configured alarm time delay.
9) Verify the channel entered the Danger condition. There will be an event in the Alarm Event
List and the alarm will be annunciated on the display according to section 4.1.1.1.
10) Press the reset button on the RCM or the Display (see section 4.1.1.2). Since the input is still
outside the normal operating region, the bar graph will still indicate Danger.
11) Lower (for over alarms) or Raise (for under alarms) the input amplitude until the
measurement is back in the normal operating range.
NOTE: Alarm set-points have hysteresis (dead-band) of

approximately 1.5% of full-scale. The alarm will continue to be
annunciated until the measurement is back inside the normal
operating region by at least the hysteresis value.
12) If the alarms are configured as non-latching the alarms should clear and an exit event will
appear in the Alarm Event List. If the alarms are configured as latching, press the reset

Maintenance
This section describes typical procedures for performing SETPOINT system maintenance including:
Inserting an Removing Modules
Upgrading Firmware
6.1 Inserting and Removing Modules

Follow the procedures below when adding, removing, or replacing SETPOINT Modules. You may
remove SETPOINT Modules while the system is powered (Hot Swap). While hot swapping modules
does not damage modules, removing and inserting modules into a live system will cause the module
statuses to become invalid and the Fault relay to activate. Depending on the voting logic, this can
cause an alarm relay trip.
IMPORTANT: Setpoint Modules can be damaged by

electrostatic shock when removed from the rack. Take
appropriate precautions such as grounding straps when
removing or handling Setpoint modules.
IMPORTANT: Modules removed from the system cause loss

of machine protection. Depending on relay voting logic, loss
of protection can cause relays to activate. Bypass relays
before removing modules
IMPORTANT: Removing and inserting cables and modules can

cause sparking that can ignite hazardous gases. Verify the
area is safe before performing maintenance.
Modules inserted into a live rack will begin protection functions as soon as the module boots up and
the filters settle. When hot inserting modules into a rack make sure the module configuration is
correct before insertion or else inhibit rack alarming until the module is correctly configured.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
To remove a module:
1) If necessary, remove field wiring connectors (refer to section 2.4.

2) Fully loosen the two captive screws located at the top and bottom of the module. The
captive screws are spring-loaded and will spring out when fully disengaged.
Figure 158: Loosen Captive Screws
3) Grasp the captive screw large knurled knobs and pull the module from the rack.

To install a module:
1) Align the card edges with the card guide slots on the left.
2) Slowly push the card in until the connector alignment pins engage.
3) Firmly push the module to seat the connector pins.
4) Tighten the captive screws finger tight
5) Use a screwdriver to tighten an additional 1/8 turn.

6.3 Upgrading Firmware
SETPOINT processor controlled modules support upgrading firmware to latest revisions. SETPOINT
Vibration periodically releases new firmware files to add functionality or correct problems.
The latest firmware files ship with the SETPOINT software CSW-01. Upgrading your SETPOINT Setup
and Maintenance software to the latest revision will automatically install the latest firmware
revisions.
6.3.1 Downloading the Firmware Files

Connect the computer USB port to the USB port on any monitor module. The SAM automatically
distributes the firmware files to the correct monitor modules so it is not required to connect to each
module.
Start the SETPOINT Maintenance software. You can start the maintenance software either via the
Start menu in Windows or by clicking the Display button in the SETPOINT Setup software.
Click the Display button from the

Setpoint Setup software to start the
Setpoint Maintenance software.

Click the Upgrade Firmware button
to see the Firmware Upgrade View.
Figure 169: Opening the Firmware Upgrade View
Click Apply to continue with the

firmware download.
Figure 170: Starting the Firmware Upgrade
The Firmware Upgrade View shows the current revision in each module and the latest revision
installed on the computer. Check the Apply check box for each module you want to upgrade then
click the Apply button to start the download process.
IMPORTANT: Machinery Protection Functions are disabled

during the firmware upgrade process.
IMPORTANT: Relays will transition to the de-energized state

during the firmware upgrade process. Ensure the relays will
not trip the machine when using de-energize to trip relay
operation during a firmware upgrade.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
The software shows a progress bar that indicates the firmware upgrade status. When the upgrade
process completes, the software shows if the upgrade was successful or not. If the upgrade was
unsuccessful, try to upgrade again. If the upgrade fails multiple times contact your SETPOINT
Vibration service representative.
Figure 171: Firmware Upgrade Progress Bar
6.4 Upgrading the Display Firmware

Upgrade the Display firmware using the SD card on the SAM. Using the Setpoint Maintenance
software while connected to the rack, insert the SD card you will use to upgrade the SAM display
into the computer and click the Write SD button as shown in Figure 172.
Click the Write SD button to write

the latest available display firmware
file to an SD card inserted into your
computer.
Figure 172: Write Display Firmware to an SD Card
After writing, insert the SD Card into the SAM as shown in Figure 173. The SAM may take 5 to 20
seconds to detect the card. Follow the instructions on the front panel display to complete the
installation. The display will reset on completion of the upgrade. This reset only affects the display
and CMS interface and has no impact on machine protection or Modbus communication.
NOTE: The 8910112_0_08.bin must be the only .bin file in the

root folder on the SD card.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
NOTES: Remove the SD
card when the display
reboots.

6.5 Bypassing Channels

If a channel is faulty, you can bypass the channel to prevent the channel from causing a false alarm.
Bypassing a channel drives the channel output to the configured clamp value. Bypass channels using
the Detail View in the SETPOINT Maintenance software.
Click the Enable Bypass button to

bypass a channel.
Figure 174: Bypassing Channels
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
6.6 Bypassing Relays
When Relay Bypass is enabled, the relay is forced into a non-alarm state and is held there, regardless
of any alarm conditions in the rack. I.e., if the relay is in an alarm state, it will assume a non-alarm
state; if it is not in an alarm, it will remain in that state.
IMPORTANT: Use Relay Bypass to disable relays for servicing.

Do not disable relays using the configuration software.
Disabling relays will cause them to transition to the de-
energized state. If the relays are used as de-energize to trip,
the machine will trip.
IMPORTANT: Normally energized relays fail safe (trip) when

the monitor system is not operating such as when powered
down, upgrading firmware, or reconfiguring regardless of the
software relay bypass. An external relay bypass circuit is
recommended for normally energized relays.
To bypass a relay, go to the Rack View.
Click the relay number to bypass.

The detail view will open.

6.8 Rebooting the SAM
You may need to reboot the SAM after upgrading the display firmware. You reboot the SAM from
the Firmware Upgrade view as shown in Figure 178.
Click the Reboot button to reboot

the SAM.
Figure 178: Rebooting the SAM
Newer hardware revisions of the SAM only require the display module to reboot. Older versions
require a complete SAM reboot. Rebooting the SAM does not affect machine protection or relay
operation but will cause loss of Modbus communication for approximately 1 minute.
IMPORTANT: Rebooting the SAM can cause loss of Modbus

data for up to one minute.

8.2 Configuration Examples
This section includes examples for configuring the SETPOINT MPS for various machine types and
applications.
8.2.1 Ramp Differential Expansion

The SETPOINT system supports ramp differential expansion measurements using single ramps or
dual ramps as shown in Figure 181 and Figure 182.
Figure 181: Single Ramp Differential Expansion
Figure 182: Dual Ramp Differential Expansion
Single and Dual Ramp: Setting the Zero Position

Set the Differential Expansion zero position on the Position Configuration View (See section 3.4.8) or
from the channel properties list (See section 3.3.12).
It is important to gap your differential expansion probes and set the zero position so that the probe
displacement stays within the probe linear range over the full differential expansion measurement
range.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.1.1.1 Symmetrical Full Scale
When using symmetrical differential expansion full scales, such as 5-0-5 mm or 0.25-0-0.25 in, set
the ramp probe zero positions as close as possible to the center gap voltage. The flat probe of a
single ramp pair should also be gapped near the center gap voltage.
8.2.1.1.2 Zero Based Full Scale

When the bottom scale is 0, such as for a 0 10 mm full scale range, use equations below to
determine the required zero position voltages.
Upscale direction is away from the ramp probe:
= 0.5 sin())
Upscale direction is toward the ramp probe:
= + 0.5 sin()
8.2.1.1.3 Custom, Non-symmetrical Full Scale

When using a non-symmetrical differential expansion full scale, such as 2-0-8 mm, you will need to
set the channel zero positions using the equations below.
Upscale away from probe:
= + 0.5
sin()) + ( sin()
Upscale toward probe:
= 0.5
sin()) + ( sin()
Ramp DE Direct Measurement

The single or dual ramp DE channels also return a direct measurement for each probe. SETPOINT
Vibration does not recommend using this measurement for machine protection as it does not
compensate for shaft radial movement as the composite measurement does.
NOTE: Some systems display the Ramp DE Direct measurement

after adjustment for the ramp angle. To convert the set-point
value to this format, divide the ramp direct measurement by sine
(ramp angle) and the flat transducer direct by tangent (ramp
angle). These adjusted values do not truly reflect expansion as
the two channels must be combined to get the actual expansion
distance.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.2 Complementary Input Differential Expansion
The complementary input differential expansion measurement extends the differential expansion
measurement range by using two probes as shown in Figure 183.
Figure 183: Complementary Differential Expansion Probe Arrangements
The UMM switches from using one probe to the other when a probe gap voltage reaches the zero
position (also known as crossover voltage). This is shown in Figure 184. The zero position voltage
for each probe should be within 0.6 V of each other.
Figure 184: Complementary Input Differential Expansion Zero Position
The Composite measurement is the differential expansion as measured across the range of the two
probes. The zero position (cross over) is the mid-point of the composite range. For zero-centered,
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
symmetrical ranges such as -0.25 0 +0.25, the zero position corresponds to zero. The Direct
measurement on each channel shows the distance from the zero position (cross over) for each
probe. For non-symmetrical ranges such a 0 to 0.5 inches, the zero position (cross over) corresponds
to the center of the range (e.g. 0.25 inches.
In general set the Zero Position voltage according to:

= + 0.05
2
Where Maximum and Minimum are the measurement range (See 3.4.6.3 and 3.4.6.4), ScaleFactor is
the transducer scale factor (See 3.4.7.1). LowerOKVoltage is the minimum OK limit (See 3.4.7.2)
For example, a 0.15 0 - -0.15 inch range (150 0 - -150 mils) using an 11 mm probe with a scale
factor of 100 mV/mil (0.1 V/mil) and a lower OK voltage of -1.28 V, should be set with a zero position
more negative than:
150 (150)
= 0.1 + (1.28) 0.05 = 16.33

8.2.3 Difference and Average Temperature Measurements

The TMM supports calculated difference and average temperature measurements. You can also
take a difference from an average. Differential temperature measurements are useful for
subtracting out the ambient temperature or for determining if one temperature point is deviating
from the average.
Follow these steps to add a differential or average temperature measurement:
From the Measurements View add the difference or average measurement to the temperature
channel as shown in Figure 185.
Click Add. Select the TMM module

and channel you want to add the
difference or average measurement
to.
Figure 185: Adding a Differential or Average Temperature Measurement
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
The new measurement will initially show an error because you will need to configure the
temperatures to difference or average. To configure the inputs, click the new measurement to
select it and click the properties tab on the right side of the screen as shown in Figure 186.
The measurement shows an error

until you configure the inputs.
Click the Properties tab to set the

inputs.

8.2.4 Aero-derivative Gas Turbine Measurements
Aero-derivative machine manufacturers (General Electric, Rolls-Royce, Pratt and Whitney) specify
the measurements required for properly monitoring their machines. The SETPOINT system supports
the required measurements using standard and added measurements made from either velocity or
acceleration transducers. Table 38 shows the SETPOINT channel type to use to properly monitor an
aero-derivative gas turbine from a specific manufacturer.
Table 38: Aero-derivative Channel Types and Interface Modules by Turbine Manufacturer
Aero-derivative Machine Type Channel Type Interface Module
General Electric Aero Velocity Tracking BN 86517 or 139506
Rolls Royce Aero Velocity Band-pass BN 86497
8.2.4.1.1 Using a High Temperature Accelerometer

You can use a high temperature, voltage output accelerometer for monitoring aero-derivative gas
turbines. When using an accelerometer, the UMM performs the required band-pass filtering and
signal integration prior to extracting the tracking filter and additional band-pass measurements.
Since the UMM can measure both the integrated velocity and non-integrated acceleration, only one
monitor channel and sensor connection is required to measure both.
8.2.4.1.2 Using the Bently Nevada 86517, 86497, or 139506 Interface Module
General Electric Aero-Derivative gas turbines may already be instrumented with the Bently Nevada
(GE) 86517 interface module. This module provides the high temperature acceleration transducer
interface, a 48 dB/octave, 25 Hz to 350 Hz band-pass filter and signal integration to provide both
velocity and acceleration output signals. General Electric Aero-Derivative gas turbines are typically
protected using 1X tracking filters. Use the Aero Velocity Tracking channel type for GE Aero-
Derivatives.
Rolls-Royce engines may already be instrumented with the Bently Nevada (GE) 86497 interface
module. This module provides the high temperature acceleration transducer interface, a 48
db/octave, 40 Hz to 350 Hz band-pass filter and signal integration to provide both velocity and
acceleration output signals. Typically, only the B/P VEL (Band-pass Velocity) output is used for
machine protection. Use the Aero Velocity Band-pass channel type.
If you want to monitor the other signal outputs such as H/P VEL or ACC each 86497 or 86517 output
must be connected to a unique UMM channel input.
Wire the 86517 according to Figure 189 and the 86497 according to Figure 190
You can also connect the +Accel (ACC) signal to a separate UMM channel SIG input for monitoring
the acceleration if desired.

8.2.4.1.3 Setting the Aero Tracking Filter Bandwidth
Differerent Aero-derivative Gas Turbines protected using the 1X tracking filter require different filter
bandwidths. Set the bandwidth from the Properties list (Section 3.3.12) on the Measurements View
(Section 3.4.6). You can set the bandwidth between 3 Hz and 5 Hz at a set machine speed. The
UMM will maintain this same filter quality as the speed changes.

8.2.5 Rolling Element Bearing Solutions
The SETPOINT UMM provides three channel types specifically designed for rolling element bearing
machines as listed in Table 39: Rolling Element Bearing Channels Table 39.
Table 39: Rolling Element Bearing Channels
Channel Type Application
Enveloped Acceleration Using an acceleration sensor input, the enveloped acceleration

channel provides early warning of bearing related faults by
demodulating the signal and monitoring the configured bearing fault
frequencies.
REBAM* Machines with installed Bently Nevada high gain REBAM* proximity
probes.
REB Acceleration Provides early warning by monitoring the demodulated amplitude

while also providing protection against imminent failure by
monitoring the overall and prime spike filtered regions in either
acceleration or integrated to velocity. Provides an enhanced
demodulated (peak stretched) waveform to CMS software for
bearing fault frequency spectral analysis.
*Rolling Element Bearing Activity Monitor. REBAM is a trademark of General Electric. This channel type in
SETPOINT is designed to closely emulate the signal processing for a REBAM channel in Bently Nevada 7200
series, 9000 series, 3300 series, and 3500 series monitoring systems. It assumes the use of a high-gain eddy
current proximity probe system with either 5X (1000 mV/mil) or 10X (2000 mV/mil) gain compared to a
standard 200mV/mil API 670 system. This gain occurs in the transducer, not in the monitoring system. The
probe observes micro-deflections of the bearings outer race and the monitor filters this signal to three ranges
of interest: direct (unfiltered), rotor region (centered around shaft running speed), and prime spike (centered
around bearing defect frequencies). REBAM channels cannot be used with any other transducer type than the
1000 mV/mil or 2000 mV/mil models specified. For seismic transducers monitoring rolling element bearings,
do not use a REBAM channel; instead, the Enveloped Acceleration channel type will often be most appropriate.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Enveloped Acceleration Channels
Enveloped acceleration is a commonly used measurement for determining the health of rolling
element bearings. Enveloped acceleration may also be used for other machine faults where impact
events occur at regular frequency intervals.
Direct Filter
Rectification and Enveloping
Band-pass filter Band-pass filter Band-pass filter Band-pass filter Band-pass filter
and Peak or and Peak or and Peak or and Peak or and Peak or
RMS detection RMS detection RMS detection RMS detection RMS detection
The first step of the enveloping signal processing is the Direct filter that separates the impact carrier
frequencies from lower frequency rotor related components. While this filter is configurable, there
are several commonly used frequency ranges:
5 Hz to 100 Hz
50 Hz to 1000 Hz
500 Hz to 10000 Hz
5,000 Hz to 25,000 Hz
The lower frequency of each band should be set higher than highest frequency of interest. For a
typical pump running at 1800 rpm, the 500 Hz to 10000 Hz range is appropriate. Lower speed
machines will use lower ranges.
Set the Direct filter from the Measurements Configuration View (see Section 3.4.6) as shown in
Figure 192.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Set the Direct filter corners for
Enveloped Acceleration.
Figure 192: Setting Enveloped Acceleration Filters
After the Direct Filter, the UMM signal processing continues with rectification, enveloping and
additional filtering to separate out the bands of interest. The UMM provides 5 band-pass
measurements that default to rolling element bearing frequencies:
IRBP: Inner Race Ball Pass Frequency

ORBP: Outer Race Ball Pass Frequency
Cage: Bearing Cage Frequency
Ball Spin: The ball or element 1X spin frequency
2X Ball Spin: Twice the ball spin frequency
These filters are fully configurable and can be renamed as appropriate for applications other than
rolling element bearings.
Configure these filter ranges similar to the Direct filter as shown in Figure 192.
REBAM Channel Applications

Bently Nevada developed high gain drivers for measuring the very small displacements seen with
rolling element bearings. This displacement signal is band-pass filtered to extract overall, rotor-
related, and element spike related frequency content. The SETPOINT UMM supports a REBAM
channel that performs these filters.
8.2.5.2.1 Setting the REBAM Channel Rotor Region Filter

The Rotor Region low pass filter is typically set at 3X the machine speed. Convert to Hertz (Hz) by
dividing the running speed by 60.
8.2.5.2.2 Setting the REBAM Channel Prime Spike Filter

The Prime Spike filter low-pass filter is typically set near 3X the outer race ball pass frequency. The
high-pass filter is typically set near 7X the outer race ball pass frequency.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Most bearing manufacturers have on-line calculators for determining the bearing frequencies.
These tools allow you to select your bearing model, enter the running speed, and will calculate the
fault frequencies at that speed.
REB Acceleration Channel

The REB Acceleration Channel provides a wide range of machine protection from early warning signs
to imminent failure as discussed in the following sections.
8.2.5.3.1 Early Warning

High frequency acceleration signals can indicate developing faults such as caused by lubrication
problems, static discharge problems, or bearing problems. Peak-stretching has been shown to
enhance the ability to detect the peaks over standard enveloping techniques.
The REB Acceleration channel provides a peak-stretch demodulated high frequency measurement.
The UMM filters the acceleration signal to capture high frequency components, peak-stretches the
peaks and measures the peak amplitude. Since lubrication and static discharge problems generally
are not periodic and can occur over a wide frequency range, the high frequency demodulated
measurement is wide-band filtered.
In order to see specific periodic harmonics, the peak-stretched waveform is available in SETPOINT
CMS for spectral analysis.
8.2.5.3.2 Prime Spike

Once lubrication or other "fixable" items have been resolved, a bearing can operate for a long time
without change in high frequency content. Eventually, the rolling elements passing over the flaw can
peen out the flaw and actually reduce the high frequency content. For this reason, the High
Frequency Measurement is not a good indicator of when the machine must be shut down and the
bearing replaced. The bearing fault progression causes vibration content to move into the element
passage (also called Prime Spike) region typically defined between 1 and 7 EPx (element pass
frequency). This is filtered off as a separate region so that the rotor related faults do not swamp out
the bearing related information. When bearings reach this point of failure, pump seal damage can
occur quickly.
8.2.5.3.3 Overall
Additional faults due to misalignment, unbalance, instability, etc will show up at frequencies 1/4 to
3X running speed. The overall measurement filters are fully configurable over the frequency range
and can be configured as an overall measurement or filtered to the rotor related fault region
depending on the users methodology.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.6 Zero Speed Measurements
Configure Zero Speed Measurements according to section 3.4.5. There are two additional Zero
Speed configuration parameters: Enable Percent Change and Dual Probe Percent Change that
configure the % change comparison.
Setting the % Change Comparison

The Zero Speed channel includes a function to compare the speeds read from the two zero speed
phase trigger inputs. If these two speeds do not agree to within the configured percentage of the
zero speed measurement full scale, the zero speed measurement is invalidated. Enabling this check
provides an additional level of security against a false zero speed indication which may cause the
turning gear engagement while the machine is running.
Configure the % comparison from the Properties List on the Measurement Configuration View (See
Sections 3.4.6 and 3.3.12).
Click the check box to enable the

percentage check.
Set the % difference.
Figure 193: Setting the Zero Speed Percent Comparison
APPLICATION ALERT: Using a single event per revolution

when combined with large changes in speed will result in a
large % change and may invalidate the measurement. Use a
multi-event per revolution speed input when you expect high
ramp rates.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
APPLICATION ALERT: When the speed of a rotating machine
reaches 0 rpm, the Phase Trigger channel and Tachometer
channel will return an INVALID measurement; whereas a Zero
Speed channel (which is dependent on two inputs) will return
a 0 rpm measurement. Therefore, it is always recommended
to use the Zero Speed Channel for UNDER alarms at low
speeds (< 5 rpm). The Phase Trigger and Tachometer channel
may go INVALID before driving an UNDER alarm at low speeds.
Inhibiting Zero Speed from a Contact Input

Some installations require the Zero Speed event to be inhibited using an input from the control
system. You can do this in SETPOINT using a discrete input.
Figure 194 shows relay logic for gating the zero speed alarm using a discrete input. In this example,
Channel 3 on the UMM in slot 4 is configured as a discrete gating input. This logic will cause relay 1
on the UMM in slot 4 to activate only if a there is a zero speed alarm active AND the discrete input
alarm is active.
Figure 194: Gating the Zero Speed Relay with a Discrete Input
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.7 Reverse Rotation Measurements
The UMM determines reverse rotation by comparing the events received from two Phase Trigger
transducers that are oriented at different angular locations around the shaft. By determining which
Phase Trigger sees the event first (leads), the UMM can determine whether the shaft is rotating
forward or reverse. See Figure 195.
T/4
Lagging Transducer Signal (Forward

Time Between Events (T) Rotation)
Lead Transducer Signal
Lagging Transducer Signal (Reverse

Rotation)
Figure 195: Reverse Rotation Transducer Signals
A minimum of two events are required to make a reverse rotation reading. If the rotation direction
is forward, the reverse rotation value will be zero. If the rotation direction is reverse, the forward
rotation value will be zero.
Probe Orientation
If the orientation angle of the leading transducer is considered 0 degrees, the lagging transducer
must be installed within a specific angular region in order for correct reverse rotation detection. For
a single event per revolution, install the lagging probe between 1 and 89 degrees.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Figure 196: Lagging Transducer Installation Region, One Event per Rev
When there are n events per revolution, there are n acceptable lagging probe installation
regions. However, these regions are narrower as seen in Figure 197 for the case of 4 events per
revolution.
Figure 197: Reverse Rotation Lagging Transducer Installation Regions, 4 Events per Revolution
In general, for any n events per revolution > 1, the i (where i is 0,1(n-1)) acceptable probe
installation regions are given by:
360 360 90
= [ ] + 1 [ ] + [ 1]

Rev. J (Jun 2017)

2 1 to 44 181 to 224
3 1 to 29 121 to 149 241 to 269
4 1 to 21 91 to 111 181 to 201 271 to 291
5 1 to 17 73 to 89 145 to 161 217 to 233 289 to 305
6 1 to 14 61 to 74 121 to 134 181 to 194 241 to 254 301 to 314
There are several important criteria to observe when using multi-event wheels with reverse rotation
channels:
The notches or projects must be evenly spaced around the shaft circumference.
The total number of events per second must be less than 20,000 events per second.
If the probes are observing the same notch or projection, be sure to maintain the distance
between probes (refer to the transducer datasheet) to prevent crosstalk.
Setting the Lead Transducer

Configure the Lead Transducer from the Properties List on the Measurement Configuration View
(See Sections 3.4.6 and 3.3.12). For the lead transducer, check the Lead Transducer checkbox as
shown in Figure 198.

% Comparison
The Reverse Rotation channel includes a function to compare the speeds read from the two reverse
rotation phase trigger inputs. If these two speeds do not agree to within the configured percentage
of the reverse rotation speed measurement full scale, the reverse speed measurement is
invalidated. Enabling this check provides an additional level of security against a false reverse
rotation indication.
Configure the % comparison from the Properties List on the Measurement Configuration View (See
Sections 3.4.6 and 3.3.12).
APPLICATION ALERT: Using a single event per revolution

when combined with large changes in speed will result in a
large % change and may invalidate the measurement. Use a
multi-event per revolution speed input when you expect high
ramp rates.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.8 Eccentricity
Eccentricity is a measure of shaft bow that is performed at very low speeds. The Eccentricity channel
measures the peak to peak eccentricity and the minimum and maximum displacements reached
each revolution along with the shaft position. The values are updated each revolution when the
channel is associated with a Phase Trigger. If there is no Phase Trigger associated, the Eccentricity
channel will default to an update rate of 30 seconds and is suitable for speeds as low as 2 rpm.
Configure Eccentricity according to section 3.4.5. There are two additional Eccentricity configuration
parameters: Crossover Speed and Invalidate above 600 rpm.
Crossover Speed
The crossover speed is the speed at which the UMM switches from displaying the Eccentricity Direct
Position as the instantaneous position or average position. Above the crossover speed, the
Eccentricity Direct Position is a filtered average position.
Invalidate above 600 rpm

Since Eccentricity is a measure of shaft bow and should exclude the dynamic rotational vibration, the
Eccentricity values are typically invalidated at higher speeds. Uncheck this box if you want to keep
the Eccentricity values valid for speeds above 600 rpm.

8.2.9 Discrete Inputs
The SETPOINT UMM supports discrete inputs from external +3.3 V logic devices, +5V logic devices, or
from a dry contact relay closure. Figure 199 shows how to wire logic devices and dry contact relays
to the UMM inputs. Table 41 shows the Measurement value for the supported input states.

You can configure the UMM to alarm on either a high or low Discrete input by using under and over
alarms in the alarm configuration. Configuring an Over alarm at 75% will cause an alarm event
when the logic input is over +2V or the dry contact relay is open. Configuring an Under alarm at
25% will cause an alarm event when the logic input is less than +1 V or the when the dry contact
relay is closed. Set the alarms on the Measurement Configuration View as shown in Figure 200.

8.2.10 Valve Position Applications
Valve position measurements are typically made using an AC LVDT or rotary potentiometer sensor.
The SETPOINT Vibration UMM accepts a 4 to 20 mA loop powered transmitter signals or linear rotary
potentiometers.
Valve Position Using an AC LVDT Transmitter

8.2.10.1.1 Wiring Valve Position AC LVDT Transmitter
Due to the high temperatures of the steam turbine valve position sensor, an AC Linear Variable
Differential Transformer (LVDT) is recommended. The AC LVDT wires to an interfacing transmitter
module that powers the LVDT and converts the LVDT signal to a 4 to 20 mA output. Connect the AC
LVDT transmitter to the UMM as described in section 2.7.2.6.
8.2.10.1.2 Adjusting the AC LVDT Valve Position

Since it is unlikely that the valve fully open and closed positions align exactly with the limits of the
sensor, you will need to adjust the sensor offset and gain. There are two ways to adjust the valve
position.
1. Adjust the transmitter offset and gain

2. Adjust the SETPOINT Process Variable configuration
8.2.10.1.2.1 Adjusting the Transmitter Offset and Gain

If you can adjust the signal conditioning unit to output 4 mA when the valve is fully closed and 20 mA
when the valve is fully open, no change to the SETPOINT Valve Position channel configuration is
required. Refer to the instructions for the AC LVDT transmitter.
8.2.10.1.2.2 Adjusting the SETPOINT Process Variable Configuration

Follow the steps in this section for configuring a valve position transmitter that outputs currents
other than 4 and 20 mA at 0 and 100% of valve position. These steps assume you have already
configured the valve position channel.
Step 1: Connect an ammeter between the transmitter and the UMM input.
Step 2: Move the valve position to fully closed (or open). Measure the transmitter output current.
Step 3: Move the valve position to fully open (or closed). Measure the transmitter output current.
Step 4: Open the Process Variable View as shown in section 3.4.9.
Step 5: Set the currents measured for fully closed and fully open as shown in Figure 201.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Set the top and bottom scale
input currents to the values
measured with the valve fully
open and closed.
Figure 201: Setting Valve Position Scale
This will cause the UMM to scale the data so that 0% corresponds to the Bottom Scale Input current
and 100% corresponds to the Top Scale Input current.
Valve Position Using a Rotary Potentiometer

Setpoint passes a constant 3 mA current through the rotary potentiometer. The voltage developed
across the potentiometer is given by (0.003 A) * (Resistance). A 5 kohm potentiometer will develop
15 Vdc when at maximum resistance. Given that the maximum positive input range is +18 Vdc, the
maximum allowed rotary potentiometer resistance is 6000 ohms.
8.2.10.2.1 Wiring Valve Position Rotary Potentiometer

A typical potentiometer has three terminals: A wiper, and top and bottom ends of the resistor. The
ends may be designated as CW (clockwise) and CCW (counter-clockwise) indicating that when the
potentiometer is turned fully clockwise or counterclockwise the maximum resistance occurs
between the wiper (S) and the given terminal. Since SETPOINT uses a constant current to measure
the rotary position, you will connect only two terminals: the wiper (S) and either CW or CCW as
shown below. Choose CW if you want increasing position when the potentiometer is turned
clockwise and the CCW terminal for counterclockwise.
Connect the Wiper (S) to the UMM SIG input.
Connect either CW or CCW to the UMM COM input.
8.2.10.2.2 Adjusting the Rotary Potentiometer Valve Position

It is most accurate to configure the potentiometer while it is connected to the SETPOINT rack. With
the SETPOINT rack powered and connected to a computer running the SETPOINT Maintenance
Software; open the detail view for the Valve Position channel (See Section 4.1.2).
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Fully close the valve and record the bias voltage as shown in Figure 202. Ignore the bar-graph at this
time.
Figure 202: Rotary Potentiometer Bottom Scale Bias Voltage
Fully open the valve and record the bias voltage as shown in Figure 203.
Figure 203: Rotary Potentiometer Full Scale Bias Voltage
In the SETPOINT Setup Software, set the top and bottom scale voltages on the Process Variable View
as shown in Figure 204.
Figure 204: Setting the Rotary Potentiometer Scales
Sending this configuration to the rack will cause the UMM to read 0% when the valve is full closed
and 100% when fully open.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.11 Case Expansion Applications
There are separate channel types for single channel and dual channel case expansion
measurements.
The single channel case expansion measures the linear case expansion from a single LVDT.
The dual channel case expansion channel type uses two UMM channels and measures the difference
between the two sensors while also measuring the case expansion from each individual sensor.
You can place the LVDTs such that the case expansion moves toward the LVDT or away from the
LVDT as shown in Figure 205. The direction must be the same for both sensors.
Figure 205: Case Expansion LVDT Installation
To configure a Case Expansion Measurement for the expansion direction away from the LVDT,
configure the Top Full Scale as the fully extended length and the Bottom Full Scale as zero. To
configure the Case Expansion Measurement for the expansion direction toward the LVDT, configure
the Bottom Full Scale as the fully extended length and the Top Full Scale as zero. Figure 206 shows a
configuration where channels 1 and 2 are set for case expansion direction toward the LVDT and
channels 3 and 4 are set for case expansion away from the LVDT.
Figure 206: Case Expansion Configuration
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.12 Shaft Absolute
The shaft absolute measurement determines the motion of the machine shaft relative to a fixed
reference frame by summing the shaft relative vibration measured between the shaft and the
machine case with the absolute case vibration. The shaft absolute measurement uses two
transducer channels:
1) A displacement proximity probe

2) A velocity transducer
The UMM integrates the velocity to displacement and then sums this signal with the proximity probe
data to create the shaft absolute measurement.
Follow the steps in this section to configure a shaft absolute measurement. Navigate to the
Channels Configuration View by pressing the Channels button as described in section 3.4.5. For
either channel 1 or channel 2, select Shaft Absolute from the drop list as shown in Figure 207.
Select the Steam Turbine

category and select the Shaft
Absolute channel type.
Figure 207: Setting the Shaft Absolute Channel Type
The configuration will automatically fill in the paired shaft absolute velocity channel. The channel
pairs are shown in Table 42. Figure 208 shows an example shaft absolute channel pair.

The shaft absolute measurement is tied to the Shaft Absolute RV channels (channel 1 or 2). This
allows you to use the channel paired voting options in the relay voting.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.2.13 Acoustic Sound Level Measurements
The SETPOINT UMM supports an acoustic channel type for performing sound level measurements
from IEPE powered microphones. The acoustic channel type provides a Direct (overall
measurement), a transducer bias measurement, and 8 band-pass filtered measurements.
When configured at the default filter settings, the Direct measurement approximates an A-weighted
wideband measurement between 20 and 20 kHz. The 8 band-pass filters are typically used for
octave filter non-weighted level measurements per IEC 61260 Class 1 filtering.
All acoustic filters have are set for a slow response.
All acoustic measurements are presented in dB, referenced to 20 x 10-6 Pa.
Verifying an Acoustic Channel

To verify an acoustic input channel, use the test setup shown in Section 5.4.1.1.2. For each band, set
the function generator frequency to the center of the band. Calculate the amplitude of the input
signal from equation below:

= (20 106 ) 10 20
Where:
mVrms: The mVrms you will set your function generator amplitude to.
SF: The microphone scale factor in mV/Pa.
20*10-6 : The standard reference level equal to the lowest level of human hearing.
dB: The output level in decibels
Example:
SF = 50 mV/Pa microphone
dB = 90
90
= 50 (20 106 ) 1020 = 31.62
When configured for a microphone with a scale factor of 50 mV/Pa, a test input signal of 31.62
mVrms amplitude will read 90 dB.

8.2.14 Monitoring Multiple Machines in One Rack
This section describes how to Setpoint MPS can provide separate OK status and Trip Multiply control
for multiple machines installed in one rack.
Separate OK Relay for Each Machine

You can configure TMM or UMM relays to function as an OK relay for individual machines in a rack.
Figure 209 shows a configuration for three machine trains names train1, train2, and train3. Set the
train names in the Asset1 configuration field. Use the For Any block and set the For Any setting
to Not OK. Set the relays to Normally Energized so that the relay will trip in the event of power loss.
When configured as shown in Figure 209 the relays will activate when any channel for the set train
goes Not OK or there is a power loss or monitor failure.
Figure 209: Multiple OK Relay Configuration
Unless otherwise required, Not OK relays should be Non-Latching.
NOTE: When the rack is first powered on, all channels are
initially Not OK until the sensors settle. If the relays are set
for latching, you will need to reset the alarms after the
system settles.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
NOTE: Dependent voting logic removes faulted channels
from the logic. Do not use dependent voting when voting
Not OK statuses.
Separate Trip Multiply or Inhibit for Each Machine

You can use a UMM with discrete input channels to function as control inputs for enabling or
disabling trip multiply or inhibit functions for multiple machines protected by a single rack. Refer to
section 3.4.13 for information on configuring discrete contact inputs.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.3 Power Connection Module (PCM)
The power connection module is an optional module that provides power connections to the
backplane from any rack slot. In the unlikely event of an RCM failure, you can use the PCM to
maintain rack power while hot swapping the RCM as shown in Figure 210.
The PCM provides only power connections and does not provide OK relay, discrete contact inputs or
buffered output connections.
Figure 210: PCM Installation when Replacing an RCM
Permanent installations should review the restrictions listed below.
APPLICATION ALERT: The PCM is not approved for use in

hazardous area installation.
You can connect power to both the RCM and the PCM as shown in Figure 211. However, the total
power provided into either Power 1 or Power 2 must be fused or current limited at 10 A to prevent
exceeding system ratings on an electrical failure.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
Figure 211: Connecting the Same Power Supply to RCM and PCM
IMPORTANT: Each supply must be capable of powering the

entire rack. Setpoint does not recommend load sharing
between the two supplies as this can result in rack shutdown
if either supply fails.
NOTE: The PCM OK LED shows the PCM OK state. The PCM
does not have a rack OK relay and the PCM OK LED does not
show the rack OK status.
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
8.4 Using Signals Powered by Another System
There are cases where an existing control system or protection system provides power and
transducer input loading for the sensors but a SETPOINT MPS rack is needed for dynamic data
collection into the SETPOINT CMS system.
This section describes considerations and configuration when using a SETPOINT MPS rack to collect
data from sensors powered from another system.
8.4.1 Using Buffered Outputs

SETPOINT Vibration strongly recommends using buffered output signals from the existing system
rather than paralleling the sensor wiring. Paralleling the wiring places additional loads on the sensor
and increase the risk of a false trip.
IMPORTANT: UMMs built before Sept 2013 cycle the sensor

input loads on reset, power loss, or when firmware or a
configuration is downloaded. When transducers are
connected in parallel with another system, this may cause a
false trip. Use buffered out signals when possible. If not
possible, bypass shutdown relays when servicing older MPS
systems.
When connecting buffered outputs from an existing system, it is important to configure the UMM
channels to a high impedance input to prevent the UMM from driving current back into the buffered
output. To do this, navigate to the Customize Transducer View (See section 3.4.7.3) and change the
Transducer Power option to High Z Input as shown in Figure 212.
Change transducer power to High Z

Input.
Figure 212: Setting Transducer Power for Buffered Inputs
Rev. J (Jun 2017)
IMPORTANT: Check the configured OK Limits when collecting
data from buffered outputs. Different systems power the
transducers differently requiring OK Limit changes. Refer to
Section 3.4.7.2 and the manual for your monitoring system.
IMPORTANT: Input signals set to High-Z are sensitive to noise

unless driven by a low output impedance source. Do not
configure unused inputs as High-Z.

unformatted CMS data. Individual unformatted files use a variety of extensions
and cannot be opened and read by CMS Display directly. They are meant to be
opened as groups of files via the .cmssd extension. Unlike 7-day limit on .cms files,
.cmssd has no limit on number of days spanned.
.met METRIX
Tied to Metrix heritage. This same .met extension was used for configuration and
diagnostic files. Configuration files can only be opened using the SETPOINT Setup
software, diagnostic files can only be opened from the SETPOINT maintenance
software.
