Data Acquisition Software

Data Manager 2000

Data Manager 2000 for Windows NT* (DM2000) is used in conjunction with critical machinery that is
already fitted with a continuous machinery protection system. Through the addition of machinery
management hardware (known as communications processors) to the existing machinery protection
system hardware, DM2000 provides computerized machinery management with continuous, online data
acquisition, archiving, and display capabilities. Static and dynamic data under both machine steady-state
and startup/shutdown (transient) operating conditions is collected, depending on the type of
communications processors connected to the software. Data acquisition modes can be both
automatically and manually initiated, based on alarm conditions, startups/shutdowns, and other events
DM2000 uses a client/server architecture that allows display (client) stations to be located where desired
along your plants Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), or Remote Access Server
(RAS) while communicating with one or more data acquisition (server) workstations.
DM2000s basic software modules consist of the following:
Data acquisition permits communications with all supported communications processors and acts as the
permanent database for collected data
Display/Configuration permits display of all data on any connected data acquisition station, and allows
configuration of the system hardware/software
Basic DDE server allows selected data (static only) within the data acquisition database to be exported
to third-party applications that can act as DDE clients
Plots may be selected from stored transient or steady-state data, Alarm Event Data, or Baseline Data.
Current Data also may be selected, in which case the computer requests a sample of the current signal(s)
from the associated monitor rack and CP:

Trendmaster 2000 System

Overview
Trendmaster 2000 is an online system for cost-effective data acquisition from rotating and other
machinery. A host computer, running Trendmaster 2000 software, automatically collects data from up to
2040 permanently
mounted transducers on the machine or equipment, at intervals ranging from a few minutes to a few
hours. The system uses a proprietary "sensor bus" to interconnect all transducers, and collects data from
these connected points in a sequential, or other user-programmable manner. This "sensor bus"
architecture (see Figure 1) is specifically designed to extend online machinery management capabilities
to those machines that warrant more
than portable data collection, yet cannot justify a more expensive data acquisition approach.
Trendmaster 2000 complements Bently Nevadas other data acquisition methods, such as a dedicated
communications processor suitable for critical equipment where millisecond, non-multiplexed sampling is
required; or, manual data acquisition from general-purpose machinery using a portable data collector
where an online approach cannot be justified.
Components
A Trendmaster 2000 system consists of:
A host computer with Trendmaster 2000 software
1 or 2 Signal Processing Adapter (SPA) cards installed in the host computer
Appropriate transducers or input signals for each measurement point
Appropriate Transducer Interface Module (TIM or flexiTIM) for each transducer or input signal.
Appropriate cabling, Line Extenders, Line Isolators, fittings,
T-Connectors, housings, and other accessories to interconnect all TIMs and transducers to the SPA
card(s)
Intrinsic safety barriers as may be required for intrinsically safe applications
