  • Event-Triggered Recording: Can be configured to automatically capture and store data when specific vibration thresholds are exceeded.

Application Scenarios
Essential for predictive maintenance programs, machinery troubleshooting, rotor dynamics analysis, and post-trip forensic analysis of large rotating equipment.

Performance Parameters

  • Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Humidity: 95% non-condensing
  • Data Transfer Rate: High-speed proprietary backplane protocol

Material Composition
High-speed digital signal processing components, precision analog-to-digital converters, and robust backplane connectors.

Structural Characteristics
Full-height module with front-panel status LEDs indicating data transfer activity and module health.

Working Principle
Samples dynamic vibration signals from the rack at high frequencies, buffers the data, and transmits it over the high-speed backplane to the communication gateway module for external retrieval.

Installation Requirements
Must be installed in the designated transient data slot. Requires proper configuration via the 3500 Rack Configuration Software.

Usage Notes
High-speed data transfer consumes significant backplane bandwidth. Ensure the communication gateway module is properly configured to handle the data load.
