the configuration is updated along with the firmware. Otherwise, the configuration will be
deleted.
l After a firmware upgrade, retrieve the configuration from the monitor.
5.2 Configuration file synchronization

It is important to understand the concept of on-line and off-line configurations. If you retrieve a
configuration and make changes without saving and sending, this is considered off-line because
the configuration is no longer synchronized with the monitor. The configuration properties you
view in the properties pane are not residing in the monitor.
An indicator at the bottom of the screen will alert you to the status. When the indicator changes
to the symbol below, the configurations files are not synchronized.
To re-synchronize the configuration file with the monitor, you have to retrieve the configuration
from the monitor or send the configuration to the monitor.
When the files are synchronized, this symbol appears:

Channels
Acceleration
Description
Acceleration measurements are generally made with an Accelerometer. You

typically use these measurements to evaluate the high frequency vibration of
a machine casing or bearing housing that is due to blade passage, gear
mesh, cavitation, rolling element bearing defects, and other conditions.
Velocity
Description
The velocity measurements from Velocity channels allow you to evaluate

machine housing and other structural response characteristics. These
channels can use signals from most seismic or inertial transducers.
Radial Vibration
Description
Radial vibration is the shaft dynamic motion or casing vibration which is

measured in a direction perpendicular to the shaft axis, often called lateral
vibration.
Thrust
Description
Thrust position is a measure of axial rotor position. It is used to determine

changes in axial rotor position before internal component contact or before
damage occurs.
Process Variable
Description
Designed for monitoring the processing parameters (pressures, flows,

temperatures, levels, and so on).
2300 monitor accepts 0~-24VDC voltage input for Process Variable. Some
107M7626 Rev. F 25
sensors may need interface module to convert to 0~-24VDC voltage. (Refer

5.4 Build a Configuration File

Steps
Add assets from the asset library pane into the instrumentation pane. Default properties appear
in the properties pane and most properties can be edited and saved to a configuration file. Those
properties that cannot be edited will be dimmed.
107M7626 Rev. F 27
1. Select File, New, and select 2300/20 Vibration Monitor.
2. Add assets.
A configuration is built from the asset library by moving assets from the library into the
instrumentation hierarchy. There are two methods you can use:
Drag and drop (step 3)
or
Right-click on an instrumentation slot (step 4)
3. Drag and drop assets into the instrumentation.
You will see a green message or red message indicating whether the placement is valid. The
application will not allow you to drop an asset in the wrong slot. Valid placements of assets
are indicated by a green check . Invalid placements are indicated by a red, no circle .
You will see a message in the Warnings/Errors pane stating that you must add a monitor,
an input module, and a channel to the configuration. Duplicate channel names should be
avoided. If a duplicate channel name is detected, a warning is generated in the
Warnings/Errors pane.
4. You can also add a channel or asset by a right-click on a slot in the Instrumentation pane.
Delete an asset with a right-click.
5. Click an asset in the instrumentation pane and edit its properties in the properties pane.
For user-editable values, you can use the right mouse button (right-click) or the keyboard
107M7626 Rev. F 28
shortcut (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) to copy and paste.
6. You can add a "Asynchronous" and "Asynch Demod Waveform" by using the right mouse
button (right-click) on channel 1 and channel 2.
l Each acceleration channel can support a maximum of two async waveforms and
one demod waveform.
l For each Acc and Vel channels, a maximum of two ansychronous plus one Demod is
allowed.
l For RV and Thrust, demod is not allowed.
l For Speed and PV, waveforms are not allowed.
The Acc and Vel async waveform can be integrated by checking the Integrated checkbox on
the Specturms & Waveforms properties pane.
7. You can also add max two "Band-pass" measurements for Acc, Vel, Radial and Thrust
channel by using right-click on channel 1 and channel 2.
8. You must correct any errors before you are able to save the file.
Save the file.
107M7626 Rev. F 29
It is recommended that after finalizing the configuration, you save and print a report for
future reference.
Deleting assets
Right-click the asset or instrumentation name or press Delete to delete it from the
Instrumentation hierarchy. A message box appears with a confirmation message. Select Yes or
No.
Deleting an asset in the properties hierarchy also deletes it from Relay Logic.
You will see a confirmation message before the asset is deleted. Note that there is no undo
function. After you click OK to delete, the only way to undo the delete is to not save the
configuration file. However, you will lose any changes you made since the last time you saved the
file.

6. Properties
The Properties pane contains the Instrumentation configuration properties. In order to view
properties, you either have to create a new configuration file, open an existing configuration file,
or retrieve a configuration from the monitor.
6.1 Detailed property view

This view is available when you open a previously saved configuration file or open an
instrumented train. Properties can be edited.
Note that the warnings/errors pane will alert you to any configuration issues. It is required to
resolve any errors before saving the configuration file.
Refer to the 2300 Series Vibration Monitors Operation and Maintenance Manual (Document
105M0341).
6.2 Edit values

Change configuration properties by clicking the value and either enter a new value or use the
drop-down list box. Numeric values show four significant digits. Trailing zeros are truncated after
the first zero.
The configuration properties displayed depend on the type of asset. Duplicate channel names
should be avoided. If a duplicate channel name is detected, a warning is generated in the
Warnings/Errors pane.
Multiple selections and changes

You can make multiple changes by selecting columns. Columns selected will be highlighted. Use
the copy and paste functions described above to make multiple changes at once.
l CTRL + click - select individual items in a column

l SHIFT + click - selects all items in a column or click in a cell or hold the left mouse button and
move the pointer downward.
107M7626 Rev. F 35
Note: When making multiple changes, only the units that apply will be updated.
All non-related values will remain the same.
6.3 Sort columns

Click the column header to sort. The arrow indicates the direction of the sort.
To do a two-level sort, hold down the Shift key and click on a second column header.
6.4 Instrumentation
The Instrumentation properties view describes the system from the hardware level, breaking it
down by monitors and channels. This view allows you to traverse your setup based on how it is
wired. In order to view properties, you have to create a new configuration file, open an existing
configuration file, or retrieve a configuration from the monitor.
This display format is useful for:
l Viewing the correlation between instrument channels and specific instrument hardware.
l Viewing bar graphs of points from specific hardware or sensors.
l Determining specific channels or hardware components that are in an alarm state.
Steps
1. Click Properties and the Instrumentation tab to view the instrumentation tree.
2. Click the maximize (arrow) symbol to open the folder.
3. Click an instrument to view in the properties pane.
4. Select a property in the Instrumentation pane. Edit field values by double-clicking the
value and enter a new value or use the drop-down list box.
If a value is dimmed, this means the measurement has not been implemented or the value
is locked. Duplicate channel names are not allowed. If a duplicate channel name is
107M7626 Rev. F 36
detected, a warning is generated in the Warnings/Errors pane.

Note: Active channels have the Active box checked.
5. You can use asset library to modify the configuration.
6. It is helpful to generate and save a report whenever the configuration is initially created
and then whenever it is changed. If the configuration needs to be restored, you can use the
report as a backup of all your settings. To generate a spreadsheet report of your
configuration settings, select Reports, Instrumentation in the toolbar.
6.5 Thrust
Thrust works by defining a top scale value and a bottom scale value. The full scale range is the
entire range that can be used between these two levels.
The full scale range, meaning the top value plus absolute of the bottom scale, can be no greater
than the range determined by the voltage range between the OK limits minus a 1v safety margin
multiplied by the scale factor. For example:
with ok limits of lower -1.280V and upper -19.04V, this provides a total possible
voltage range of 19.04 – 1.280 = 17.76V- 1V = 16.76V
when used with a scale factor of 7,874 mv/mm, you can calculate the total sensor
range as 16.76V / 7,874 mv/mm * 1000mV/1v = 2.26mm
When using the Custom Transducer option, care must be used when configuring OK limits and
Top and Bottom scales. With the formula above, the monitor assumes that the sensor remains
linear throughout the range between the OK limits.
Zero Position value

The allowed range of Zero Position value on the Thrust channel depends on the following
configured properties:
l Transducer OK Limits
l Scale Factor
l Upscale towards or away from probe
l Direct Full Scale Range
107M7626 Rev. F 37
To calculate the valid zero position range, the following formula is used, where [okLimit] is the
configured ok limit for upper\lower, 0.05 is the setpoint safety voltage level; [S] is the scale
(depends on direction); [SF] is the scale factor; and 1000 is just mV/V:
Upper zero position range = [okLimit] + 0.05 + [S] * [SF] / 1000
Lower zero position range = [okLimit] - 0.05 - [S] * [SF] / 1000
For the above example, with -1.280 and -19.04 ok limits, a 7,874mV/mm scale factor, and with a
+1mm to -1.1mm full scale range, and a towards direction, our zero position voltage allowable
range is -9.204v to -10.3286v.
Upper zero position range = [-19.04] + 0.05 + [1.1] * [7874] / 1000 = -10.3286v
Lower zero position range = [-1.280] - 0.05 - [1.0] * [7874] / 1000 = -9.204v

9. Relay Logic
Relay Logic gives you the ability to build a customized relay logic for a monitor. In order to use
this function, you either have to create a new configuration file, open an existing configuration
file, or retrieve a configuration from the monitor.
The Relay Logic window consists of four panes: Instrumentation, Display (center pane), ToolBox,
and Properties.
9.1 Build your relay logic

There are three main steps to build your relay logic:
1. Add components
2. Connect components
3. Edit properties.
Add components
Select (highlight) a component from the instrumentation pane. When you see a green check mark,
indicating the move is valid, release the mouse button and drop it into the center pane.
Select (highlight) a component from the toolbox and drag and drop it into the center pane.
107M7626 Rev. F 52
Connect components
Connections are made by clicking on an endpoint and dragging an endpoint to another endpoint.
To delete a line, select the line and press the Delete key.
Edit properties
The Properties pane details all the properties associated with an instrumentation function block
as well as the operator functions located in the ToolBox pane. You must click on an asset in
order to view its properties. To enter a property description, click in the text box.
9.2 Display controls

To view a complex drawing, you can zoom in and out by holding down the Ctrl key and rotating
the wheel button on the mouse.
To increase or decrease the size of the panes, hover the mouse over the separator line and use
the arrow to move the edge of the window.
107M7626 Rev. F 53
9.3 Instrumentation pane

The Instrumentation pane contains a list of available inputs and outputs that can be used for the
relay logic. The available inputs are monitors and channels. The Relay channels themselves are
the available outputs. Click the arrow to reveal the list. You can drag and drop these instrument
names to the center pane to create your diagram.
9.4 Display pane

Create a diagram by dragging and dropping channels or monitors from the Instrumentation pane
and objects from the ToolBox pane. When you drag an asset and drop it into the pane, you will be
notified if the move is legal. A green check mark will appear next to the asset name for a valid
move.
If the move is not legal, a message displays in red. To delete an object, select the object and
press the Delete key.
As you add channels or monitors to the display pane, note the Warnings/Errors pane at the
bottom of the screen. New messages are added to the top of the list. Use the scroll bar on the
left side of the pane to scroll through the messages. The numbers in parenthesis show the
current active warning and errors. Click the arrow on the left to close/open the message pane.
Connections are made by clicking on an endpoint and dragging an endpoint to another endpoint.
To delete a line, select the line and press the Delete key. If you want to connect more than two
inputs to an OR or AND gate, you can connect up to seven inputs (for a total of eight inputs) to

report opens, to view the report, click the Relay Logic worksheet tab.
9.8 Normal AND Voting

The monitor uses Normal AND Voting. With the Normal AND Voting, if a single alarming
parameter is user-inhibited, or user-bypassed, the parameter is removed from the relay logic.
9.9 Not OK
Not OK is a state that can be mapped in relay logic. It can be configured on the monitor and
channel’s relay logic nodes.
The Not OK output parameter from channel will be ignored in NORMAL AND voting in the
following condition:
l When that channel is bypassed

The Alarm/Relay Inhibit switch will de-energize the relay driven by Not OK status of the monitor
or channel. Not OK will not inhibit the actual Not Ok status on the monitor and channel.

Relays are the primary output mechanism for the system. The software is used to configure the
logic that will determine the state of the output relays. Each relay is set depending on whether
the device will be normally energized or de-energized and voted one-out-of-one or two-out-of-
three. These settings are used to confirm physical DIP switch settings on each of the relay
modules to ensure that safety critical applications will perform to full potential.
A relay may also operate in a normally open or normally closed mode. Depending on the
destination of relay outputs, it may be necessary for an active state to be indicated by an open
contact or a closed contact.
Normally De-energized Relay (NDE)

Specifies that the normal (non-alarm) state of the relay is with the coil de-energized. No
distinction is made between a non-alarm state and a loss of monitoring. This option is set by
using a switch on the Standard Relay I/O module.
Alarm State
1 No power/No alarm (shelf state)
2 With power/No alarm
3 With power/In alarm
107M7626 Rev. F 57
Normally Energized Relay (NE)

Specifies that the normal (non-alarm) state of the relay is with the coil energized. This
configuration errors to shutdown when loss of monitoring occurs. This option is set by using a
switch on the Standard Relay I/O module.
Alarm State
1 No power/No alarm (shelf state)
2 With power/No alarm
3 With power/In alarm

10. Verification
Verification is a tool to verify that sensor connections are correct after configuring and
connecting to a monitor. The Verification pane lists the measurements, times, dates, and values
of the selected channel. After configuring a monitor, you can use this tool to verify that the
sensor connections are correct.
Two types of alarm setpoints are available in Verification: danger and alert. Only enabled
setpoints are shown.
Note: Ensure that you are connected to the monitor and have retrieved a configuration file
from the monitor.
10.1 Select channels and measurements

After connecting to the monitor and retrieving a configuration file from a monitor, click
Verification on the menu bar and click the Instrumentation tab on the left pane and select a
channel. You can select all channels at the System or monitor level, multiple channels, or you can
select a single channel.
Multiple channel selection example:

10.4 Reset alarm latch

Latched alarm reset can be issued from either the hardware contacts or the Verification screen.
Its purpose is to reset latched alarms, and latched relays. Latching is a configurable option that
causes a state such as an alarm to persist even if the condition that caused the alarm is no
longer present. Reset allows those latched states to go to their non-active state if the original
condition that caused the state no longer exists.
Click the lock button to reset the alarm latch.
10.5 Bar Graphs and Tabular List

Commit at the bottom of the pane to save the settings.
The status button to the right of the enabled/disabled drop-down will show the color blue when
the switch is active, or enabled by hardware contact.
Note: Software switches set on inactive channels have no impact on this functionality.
Monitor switches
Bypass
This feature should be used if you wish to temporarily bypass monitor. Bypassing prevents
monitor from driving the Invalid, Not OK, Protection Fault, and relay even if there has a hardware
fault. All measurements will be marked as BYPASS. Latched alarms will be reset, and new alarms
will be prevented.
Alert inhibit
When enabled, alert inhibit disables all alert alarms.
Danger inhibit
When enabled, danger inhibit disables all danger alarms.
Alarm/Relay inhibit
Alarm/relay inhibit is used to prevent alarms from being generated and to force all alarms and
relays into the non-alarm state. If there are any latched alarms or relays, they will be reset.
When Alarm/Relay Inhibit is disabled, alarms must re-acquire based on their configured alarm
time delay.
107M7626 Rev. F 70
Channel switches

Bypass when enabled, all measurement on that channel will be bypassed. Latched alarms will be
reset on that channel’s measurements, and new alarms will be prevented.
Alert inhibit
When enabled, Alert inhibit disables all alert alarms on that channel.
Danger inhibit
When enabled, Danger inhibit disables all danger alarms on that channel.
107M7626 Rev. F 71
11. Modbus
Bently Nevada Monitor Configuration includes Modbus support. You configure the monitor for
Modbus by selecting it from the Industrial Protocols tab.
11.1 Supported function codes

The Modbus function code 03 is supported to read holding registers for Measurements, Setpoints,
and Statuses.
11.2 Most significant word order

You can specify the order in which a sequence of bytes is stored in the memory. Big-endian is an
order in which the most significant value in the sequence is stored first. Little-endian is an order
in which the least significant value in the sequence is stored first. In the Most Significant Word
First check box, if you set the check box, the word order is big endian. If you leave the check box
unchecked, the word order is little endian.
Byte ordering for each word still remains in network byte order (big endian) no matter what the
selection is for Most Significant Word First. For example, if a floating point value occupies the
first two registers (40001 and 40002) and Most Significant Word First is NOT checked, then the
least significant word (16 bits) will be in register 40001 and the most significant word (16 bits)
will be in register 40002. The ordering of the bytes in those registers however will remain big
endian (most significant byte first).
The convention used for defining the byte and bit significance is: 7 being most significant, and 0
being least significant.
The following outlines how the 64-bit statuses will be displayed and laid out. The ordering of the
bytes in the registers is always big endian (most significant byte first).
Registers can be any consecutive numbers in series from 40,001 to 42,000.
107M7626 Rev. F 72
Most Significant Word First selected

When Most Significant Word First field is selected, the registers will look similar to the
following example:
4XXX1: <0000000000000000>
4XXX2: <0000110000000000>
4XXX3: <0000000000000000>
4XXX4: <0010000000000001>
This is how the bytes correspond to the bits <byte.bit>:
4XXX1 7.7 7.6 7.5 7.4 7.3 7.2 7.1 7.0 6.7 6.6 6.5 6.4 6.3 6.2 6.1 6.0
4XXX2 5.7 5.6 5.5 5.4 5.3 5.2 5.1 5.0 4.7 4.6 4.5 4.4 4.3 4.2 4.1 4.0
4XXX3 3.7 3.6 3.5 3.4 3.3 3.2 3.1 3.0 2.7 2.6 2.5 2.4 2.3 2.2 2.1 2.0
4XXX4 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0
Most Significant Word First not selected

When the Most Significant Word First field is NOT selected, the registers will look similar to the
following example:
4XXX1: <0010000000000001>
4XXX2: <0000000000000000>
4XXX3: <0000110000000000>
4XXX4: <0000000000000000>
This is how the bytes correspond to the bits <byte.bit>:
4XXX1 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0
4XXX2 3.7 3.6 3.5 3.4 3.3 3.2 3.1 3.0 2.7 2.6 2.5 2.4 2.3 2.2 2.1 2.0
4XXX3 5.7 5.6 5.5 5.4 5.3 5.2 5.1 5.0 4.7 4.6 4.5 4.4 4.3 4.2 4.1 4.0
4XXX4 7.7 7.6 7.5 7.4 7.3 7.2 7.1 7.0 6.7 6.6 6.5 6.4 6.3 6.2 6.1 6.0
11.3 Register configuration settings

You can select fixed-point or floating-point for the registers (from 40001 to 42000). Use the drop-
down to make the selection. Up to 2000 holding registers may be configured.
When Floating point is selected, all floating point data types (PPL values, setpoints, and so on)
will occupy two registers.
107M7626 Rev. F 73
When the register configuration is set to Fixed-point, all floating point data will be scaled to the
user configurable full scale range and occupy only one register.
Full Scale Range is disabled if floating-point is selected.
The 64-bit status words are unaffected by the Register Configuration selection (Fixed
Point/Floating Point) and will always occupy four registers.
11.4 Full scale range

The full scale range value can be set from 1 to 65535. The default value is set to 65535. The
associated bottom scale is currently fixed at zero.
Example:
If the full scale range is set to 65535 (at top scale) and the current measurement value is 10 mils,
with the full-scale range as 0-10 mils), then the Modbus reported value for fixed point for this
measurement would be 65535. If the full-scale value is set to 40000, the reported Modbus value
would be 40000, 20000, and 0 for 10, 5, and 0 mils, respectively.
11.5 Modbus clamp value configuration

The clamp value will be used for float and fixed 16-bit data placed in Modbus register(s).
11.6 Modbus configuration

Use these steps to configure Modbus. The 2300 monitor has a maximum configuration of 120
data inputs.
1. Click Industrial Protocols on the menu bar to access the main menu. Select Modbus and
enable Modbus by selecting Active.
107M7626 Rev. F 74
2. Select the register configuration by choosing either fixed or floating point.
3. (Optional) Select the Most Significant Word First check box.
4. Click Configure.

pane is only visible after selecting Configure. Drag and drop the points over into the register
map. The available points are determined by the selections in the Instrumentation
hierarchy in the top half of the Instrumentation pane.
107M7626 Rev. F 75
6. To select a value, drag the measurement from the left navigation pane and drop it into the
register map. You can also drag and drop an entire group. When the action is valid, it
appears in green. You can also drag and drop an entire group, for example, by clicking on
Direct and dragging it into the register map.
When the action is invalid, it appears in red. Also refer to the message pane at the bottom
for more information.
The Data Type column is filled when you release the mouse button.
7. When you finish modifying the registers, click Finish.
11.7 Selecting and deleting line items

1. To delete a row, right-click on the row and select Delete. An alternate method is to highlight
the row and press the Delete key.
2. To delete all items, click the Clear All button. You will be asked to confirm your choice.
3. Click Finish when done and save the configuration file.
11.8 Generate a Modbus report

It is helpful to generate and save a report whenever the configuration is initially created and then
whenever it is changed. If the configuration needs to be restored, you can use the report as a
backup of all your settings. To generate a report of your settings, choose REPORTS in the toolbar.

107M7626 Rev. F 77
Status bit definitions

The following statuses are defined in terms of existing at the measurement level, but these
statuses also exist at the channel, monitor, and collection group level. The statuses at the
channel level reflects the OR’ing of all its measurement statuses. Likewise, the monitor and
collection groups contain an OR’d status. The only exception is the inactive status bit which only
reflects the state of the level in which it exists. For example, a channel can still indicate that it is
active (enabled) even if some of its measurements are not active.

13. Events Descriptions

The Event List option provides two lists of events: alarms and system health. You can toggle
between a list of alarm events or a list of system events. Together, the two lists provide a record
of current and historical events and can assist you in prioritizing and expediting data analysis.
You must be connected to a monitor and have retrieved a configuration file from the monitor in
order to view these lists.
As a default, lists are sorted by the most recent event at the top of the list. A hyphen (-) in the
Exit Date column indicates that an exit date is non-applicable to this event.
As a default, lists are sorted by the most recent event at the top of the list. A hyphen (-) in the
Exit Date column indicates that an exit date is non-applicable to this event.
Severity codes range from zero to four with four being the highest alarm. Severity codes are also
designated by color:
Severity Color Description
Green
Green indicates all is good, and a severity of zero or no alarm
0
condition exists.
Blue
This alarm is the lowest available alarm priority. It should not be
1
ignored but can be investigated after higher priority alarms.
Orange This alarm indicates a situation that is not yet critical, but which
2 needs to be investigated in a timely manner. This alarm is typically
an instrumentation type failure such as a Not Ok.
Yellow
The ALERT alarm indicates that prompt operator action is required.
3
Severity three usually corresponds to a hardware alert level.
Red The DANGER alarm indicates that machinery damage may be

4 imminent. Severity four usually corresponds to a hardware danger
level.
13.1 Filter the list

You can sort and view time-based alarm and system events. You can manually enter the date and
time values by clicking in the Start Time and End Time text boxes. The event list view then sorts
according to the selected date and time range.
107M7626 Rev. F 84
Note: Start time cannot be greater than end time.
1. Click Event List on the menu bar.

2. You can select two tabs: Alarm Events or System Events.

13.3 Alarm events

Alarm events are generated whenever the monitor detects a vibration measurement that
exceeds the setpoint for a fault condition (alert or danger). System events occur when there is a
change to the monitoring system, such as a notification that the firmware was upgraded.
107M7626 Rev. F 85
The alarm event list contains all machinery related alarm events. These are all events related to
violation of a software/hardware setpoint or a result of a boolean decision support rule. These
events include both the entering and leaving alarm events.

14. Firmware and Configuration Upgrades

Configuration and firmware versions must match. For example, you cannot use the application
with version 3 firmware and a version 2 configuration file. When you attempt to connect to a
monitor, the application automatically detects if the firmware does not match the application
version. When you attempt to open a configuration, the application automatically detects if the
file does not match the application version.
14.1 Configuration only upgrade

You must use a configuration file that is compatible with the software version and firmware
version.
1. Select File, Open, and select an older version of a configuration file.

2. You are prompted to upgrade your configuration file. Click Yes to upgrade.
Once the upgrade is complete, the configuration file is loaded.
Configuration file recovery

During a configuration upgrade, a backup copy of the retrieved configuration file is created. This
backup copy can be used if for any reason the monitor rejects the configuration after a firmware
upgrade. The location of the backup will be:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\General Electric\DatabaseUpgradeBackup
14.2 Upgrade steps for firmware and configuration

When you require an upgrade to both firmware and the configuration file, the upgrade is
packaged as one process.
1. Select Monitor, Firmware, Upgrade. Select Upgrade in the dialog box. The configuration is
retrieved.
2. The upgrade process begins.
3. Multiple messages appear indicating the status of the upgrade.
4. If the monitor is not configured, an upgrade is sent.
5. After the upgrade finishes, the monitor restarts. Reconnect, log on, and retrieve the
configuration.
14.3 Firmware Upgrade

When you install a new version of Bently Nevada Monitor Configuration, the firmware version
must be compatible with the application version. When you upgrade to version 1 firmware, the
firmware as well as the configuration file will be upgraded.
107M7626 Rev. F 96
The upgrade firmware feature allows you to upgrade the firmware version of connected
monitors. You can download the latest firmware version from the Bently Nevada technical
support portal. To install upgrades, download and run the latest install package. The firmware
upgrade will automatically be added to the software and made available for the firmware
upgrade process.
Notes:
A firmware upgrade may delete the configuration if there is an incompatibility in the
configuration between the older and newer firmware. Alarm and System events are
archived as a set. Only one set of archived files can be stored.
You must be logged on as an administrator to upgrade firmware.
This upgrade will not change:
l Administrator/User accounts
l Channel names, setpoints, and measurements
l Switches
l Any customized relay logic configurations
During the monitor upgrade process, the configuration on the monitor is retrieved. If there is an
error retrieving the configuration, the monitor upgrade process halts.
Make sure you locally save the configuration file and an instrumentation report for comparison
after the upgrade.
1. Log on as administrator. Connect to the monitor that requires a firmware upgrade.
Retrieve the configuration file from the monitor and save it.
2. Select Monitor, Firmware, Upgrade.
3. The Upgrade dialog box appears.
Available Firmware: By default, the most recent firmware available is shown and will be at
the top in the Available Firmware box. New installations do not show a version number in
107M7626 Rev. F 97
the list.
Click Upgrade to initiate the firmware upgrade. The Upgrade button is disabled if no
upgrades are installed on your computer or no monitors are selected. The completion
percentage dialog box indicates progress.
4. The configuration is retrieved from the monitor.

Then the new (upgraded) configuration file is sent.
5. Firmware and configuration is packaged.
The upgrade is sent.
If the send upgrade process fails for any reason, a File transfer error system event will be
generated. If this happens, contact your Bently Nevada technical service representative for
help.
6. The upgrade is finalized.
If the network gets disconnected before 55% completion, the upgrade process will revert to
the previous state. If the network gets disconnected while the finalizing upgrade process
(after 55% completion), the upgrade process will succeed.
7. The monitor restarts after a successful firmware upgrade. This takes approximately five to
ten minutes.
8. Log in as administrator and retrieve the configuration from the monitor (Monitor,
Configuration, Retrieve). Check the retrieved configuration file against the file locally saved
before the upgrade.
9. Generate an instrumentation report. Compare this report against the report locally saved
before the upgrade.
10. Go to the Verification view and verify data. Review the event list.
11. Run hardware tests to check for correct responses in Verification view and events list.
12. After results have been verified, save the configuration file.
Notes:
If you delete a firmware configuration file, the file will remain on the Upgrade
Firmware drop-down list. If the deleted version is selected, an error message is sent.
If the process fails for any reason, a “File transfer error” system event will be
generated.
Firmware/software mismatch
After connecting and logging on, if the firmware and software versions are not compatible, you
will get a message stating this. When there is such a mismatch, you cannot retrieve a
configuration from or send a configuration to the monitor. To resolve the problem, click Monitor,
Firmware, Upgrade to upgrade the monitor with the latest firmware. Only an Administrator can
upgrade firmware.
