Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1. Application
The GuardII EV Card is an optional add-on for the GuardII continuous on-line monitor
that is used to measure endwinding vibration (EV) activity in motor and generator stators.
This system collects and analyzes vibration data from fiber optic accelerometers, providing
maintenance staff with a tool to collect and trend endwinding vibration conditions
The GuardII monitor computes displacement vibration spectra across the important
frequency range. Once configured, the monitor requires no user intervention, will alert when
significant vibrations are detected, and is ideal for fingerprinting and trending the vibration as
the endwinding and support system loosen and age
NOTE:
A GuardII EV Card is a component of larger system, and requires a GuardII
Platform to function
NOTE:
This manual only contains detailed information on the GuardII EV Cards; for
details concerning the GuardII Platform, a different monitoring technology or
coupler installations, refer to the User Manuals for those components.
On-line measurements require the permanent installation of accelerometers on the

stator endwinding to measure the structures vibration spectra. The EV sensors used by
GuardII are application specific fiber optic accelerometers ideal for installation in air or
hydrogen cooled machines. The design is based on proven fiber optic technology using
aperture gating and sub angstrom optical sensing with extremely low self-noise and high
sensitivity. The sensors come in single or dual-axis configuration allowing users to monitor
either radial or radial/tangential acceleration.
The optical signal from the sensor is converted to an electrical signal via an EOU
(electro-optical unit) which is independent of the sensor and located in a NEMA4X enclosure
external to the machine. This increases system reliability as the EOU can be directly
accessed for repair/calibration with no machine disassembly.
In the case of hydrogen-cooled machines, the leads from up to 12 EVA-D sensors and
one Core EVA-S can be routed out of the machine through a hermetically sealed feed
through. The optional hydrogen penetration kit consists of a comprehensive penetration
requiring only 1 hole in the generator casing, nitrogen gas pressure tested to 400 PSI.
In general EVA sensors should be located according to the level of concern for any
particular area of the endwinding as well as based on off-line impact testing (bump testing).
Typically phase connections and jumpers see more significant vibrations and are thus sites
of concern. In addition, sensors should be installed on chosen coil ends and connections
circumferentially around the endwinding to detect global patterns of vibration

Introduction
1.2. Features
 Analysis of up to 12 EVA-D sensors and 1 EVA-S sensor (or equivalent third-party
accelerometers) including high vibration alerts
 Analyze measurements and trend at different operating conditions for a more certain
prediction of stator endwinding vibration conditions
 Perform a spot measurement, or automatically acquire results over months and
years during normal generator load changes, without user intervention

2. Design
A GuardII EV Card supports inputs for up to 13 inputs; 12 dual-axis (radial and
tangential) sensors for endwinding vibration, and 1 single-axis sensor for core vibration. The
dual-axis inputs are also compatible with single-axis sensors; the monitor will automatically
detect the signals and perform the appropriate calculations as needed.

Method of Operation
4. Method of Operation
The endwinding is at high-voltage potential and requires support against mechanical
vibration driven by electrical and mechanical forces. Machine endwindings are designed so
that under normal circumstances these mechanical stresses are controlled enough to
prevent damage. However the endwinding can be damaged due to:
 Looseness of the endwinding support and tie structure due to mechanical aging and
thermal expansion
 Poor design of the endwinding bracing with resonance conditions close to the
primary forces of the rotational frequency and twice line frequency
 Abnormal operating events such as short circuits resulting in stress and deflection of
components beyond their mechanical limits
 Relative motion between one component and another which can abrade the high
voltage insulation on the coils
The purpose of endwinding vibration monitoring is to directly measure if the stator
endwindings are vibrating during normal operation, so that any incipient vibration can be
detected (and corrected) at an early stage, well before failure. The monitoring system
consists of four components: non-metallic EVA sensors mounted at critical locations in the
endwinding, non-metallic fiber optic cable to connect the sensors outside of the motor or
generator frame, an electro-optical unit to convert the optical signals to millivolts which are
proportional to the acceleration, and the GuardII monitor to digitize, process and store the
vibration spectra.
4.1. Measurement Sequence

While online, GuardII performs measurements continuously and evaluates the results.
 Run a measurement on all enabled inputs.
 Update Remote I/O and Modbus data.
 Evaluate the measurement for Alert conditions.
 Evaluate the measurement to see if this latest one should be Archived.
Measurement results are produced in Modbus data and the Archive.
4.2. Data Logging and Storage

While the GuardII monitor is online, it collects data and automatically stores
measurements in internal memory; this is referred to as the Archive. The Archive is
designed to capture the most significant vibration event on a daily basis.
The GuardII EV Archive stores measurements based on these rules:
 During the day, the instrument is performing measurements.
 The instrument stores the set of measurements that corresponds to the largest
accelerometer reading for that day.
 Each stored measurement contains the raw accelerometer data for each input.
7 www.irispower.com
Method of Operation
Periodically, the Archive should be downloaded into the IAM software suite and the EV
measurement results reviewed.
4.3. Alerts
While the GuardII is performing measurements, the displacement is compared with
configured Alert levels. If the current displacement is greater than the Alert level, then the
GuardII enters an Alert state, activating the Alert relay.
NOTE:
In order for the Alert function to work, the Alert Relay in the GuardII must be
connected. Refer to the GuardII Platform User Manual for details.

Installation
5. Installation
NOTE:
EV Card installation must be performed by qualified personnel. If not
installed properly, damage may occur to both the EV Card and the GuardII
Platform assembly.
NOTE:
The GuardII design makes use of thumbscrews so that components are easy
to work with. The use of tools may cause over- tightening, which could
damage the monitor.
5.1. Overview
The installation shall be performed according to this manual and applicable local codes
and standards.
This manual only describes installation of the EV Card itself; for details on the installation
of the GuardII Platform assembly, or EV Sensors, refer to the appropriate User Manual for
that component.
This installation procedure assumes that no other monitoring technologies are installed
in the GuardII monitor. Note that if there is another monitoring technology, this will not affect
the installation of the EV Card, however care must be taken to make sure the Card for the
other technology is not disturbed.
WARNING:
Before working with the GuardII monitor, disconnect the power. This can be
done at the plant breaker or the power switch inside the monitor. If the
monitor needs to be removed from the enclosure, use the plant breaker to
disconnect the power.
5.2. Sensor Termination Box

The EVA sensors for a GuardII monitor require a separate Termination Box. Refer to
the Endwinding Vibration Accelerometer Kit Installation Guide for instructions to install the
sensors and Terminal Box.
5.3. Install Location

Excessive cable lengths distort EV signals. The standard GuardII EV installation kit
includes 2m (6’) cables for connecting the monitor to the terminal box. If the cable lengths
required appear to be unavoidably long, please contact Iris for consultation or possible
alternatives.
9 www.irispower.com
Installation
WARNING:
Each monitoring technology that can be used in the GuardII Platform will have
its own installation requirements, particularly in regards to the physical location
of the monitor relative to the sensor terminations. When selecting a mounting
location for the monitor, be sure to consider all of the monitoring technologies
that are being used.
Figure 5-1 Signal Cable Length Requirements
5.4. Preparation
Before installing the EV Card, a new entry hole may need to be drilled into the GuardII
enclosure for the EVA signal cables. If the conduit is already run to the monitor, then skip to
Section 5.5.
Before drilling holes in the enclosure, the electronics must be removed. Start by
disconnecting all of the cables from the electronics inside the monitor.
 Disconnect all of the cables from the electronics inside the monitor.
 Remove the nut holding the ground cable in place, and disconnect the wire to the
enclosure. Put the nut back on the ground stud so it does not get lost.
 Carefully remove the ferrites from around the power, ambient sensor and Ethernet
cables (if installed).
10 www.irispower.com
Installation
Figure 5-2 Disconnect the Ground

Loosen the four corner screws on the chassis plate; the two screws on the top edge are
captive, but the ones on the bottom edge need to be removed completely; take care not to
lose them. A #2 Philips screwdriver with a shank at least 6” long is required.
Figure 5-3 Removing the Chassis

After removing the chassis, drill the required holes and run the conduit to the instrument.
Installation
WARNING:
In order to prevent the conduit and cables from interfering with the GuardII
Platform chassis and technology Cards, cable entry is limited to the bottom
side of the enclosure near the grounding bolt.
Figure 5-4 Cable Entry Area

When the conduit is terminated in the enclosure, re-assemble the monitor; first, mount
the chassis into the enclosure, and then re-connect the internal cabling that was
disconnected.
5.5. EV Card Installation

If the instrument was purchased with the EV Card installed, skip to Section 5.6.
Before installing the EV Card, the protective covers on the GuardII Platform EV Card
connectors need to be removed. Loosen the thumbscrews holding the cover in place, and
remove the cover from the enclosure; this cover is no longer required.
Installation
Figure 5-5 Remove EV Card Connector Covers

Place the EV Card on the chassis plate; make sure that the Card is placed next to the
alignment pin on the chassis. Slide the Card towards the top of the instrument; the guide
screws will help line up the Card properly. Once lined up, push the Card into place, and
fasten the thumbscrews to secure it.
Figure 5-6 Install EV Card
Installation
Figure 5-7 Installation Complete
5.6. EV Input Cable Connections

Once the EV Card is installed, the input cables need to be connected. The exact
connections will depend on the number and type of EVA sensors that are installed.
The EV Card inputs are connected to the EVA Sensor Terminal Box using 6’ (2m)
twisted-pair jumper cables; these are provided in the installation kit.
The connections between the EV Card and the EVA Sensor Terminal box follow a few
simple rules.
 The Core Sensor input supports a single-axis (radial-only) sensor. This is used
when a Core vibration sensor is installed.
 All of the other inputs on the EV Card can support dual-axis (radial and tangential)
sensors. If a dual-axis sensor is not used, then only connect the radial signal.
 Other than the Core input, which sensor that is connected to a particular input is not
important as long as the connection information is recorded. See Section 9.2 for a
template to record this information.
Figure 5-8 Dual-Axis Sensor Connections
Installation
Figure 5-9 Core Sensor Connections

NOTE:
While it is not important which sensor connects to the input, it is critical that
each EV sensor is connected to the correct Electro-optical Unit in the
Terminal box. Refer to the Endwinding Vibration Accelerometer Kit
Installation Guide for details.
5.7. Remote I/O

In a GuardII system, Remote I/O is used to read the machine’s Operating Conditions
and/or provide measurement results for a plant DCS or Programmable Logic Controller.
GuardII uses a Modbus over TCP/IP interface for the Remote I/O; this allows the monitor to
connect to an existing system that uses Modbus over TCP/IP, or to a Remote I/O Unit for
reading Operating Conditions. The monitor hosts Modbus data points to provide
measurement results.
The Remote I/O Unit is optional hardware that typically reads 4-20mA analog signals
which the GuardII monitor then converts it to real-world values using a translation formula.
The Remote I/O Unit is available with multiple mounting options, and each Unit is custom
built for the particular plant requirements.
Figure 5-10 Sample Remote IO Unit
Installation
NOTE:
For complete details on the Remote I/O Options, refer to the Remote I/O
User Manual.
For specific Modbus data points hosted by the GuardII EV Card, refer to
Section 9.3
Operating Instructions
6. Operating Instructions
The Iris Application Manager (IAM) software is used to configure GuardII monitors and to
download the data for further analysis. However, the monitor has been designed for stand-
alone operation and does not require a computer connection.
Once fully configured, the monitor automatically collects and stores data from each of
the installed monitoring technologies, produces Alerts, and collects/updates Modbus data.
However, if a particular feature is not used, then the ability of the monitor to operate
independently may be compromised. For example, if the Alert Relay is not connected, or
the Alert thresholds are not set, then the entire Alert function will not work properly; the only
way to tell if the data indicates a problem with the machine being monitored is by
downloading and analyzing the data.
NOTE:
Periodically, the Archive should be downloaded into the IAM software suite
and the EV data reviewed. This allows for early detection of any Asset
problems indicated by the vibration levels, as well as detection of any
GuardII problem should it occur. The recommended data download and
review interval is not greater than six months.
6.1. Downloading Data

The EV data stored in the monitor memory can be downloaded to a computer through
the local USB port, the Ethernet or using a USB memory stick.
NOTE:
In order to download or import any data, IAM must have an open database
that has the appropriate monitor connected to an Asset. Without that
database, IAM will not know where to save the data, and the
download/import cannot be performed. The most convenient time to create
the database is during commissioning so the database is ready when
needed.
6.1.1. Download via Direct Connection

To download the data using Ethernet or direct USB, make the connection to the monitor,
open IAM and use the Download function for the appropriate Asset in the database. IAM will
provide appropriate feedback information as the download progresses.
Downloading using a direct connection will retrieve the entire Archive, unless a different
option is selected during the download.
6.1.2. Download via USB Stick

To download the data using a USB stick, insert the USB stick into the front panel of the
monitor; the panel LEDs will show feedback information as the download progresses.
Downloading data via a USB stick will retrieve the last 8 months of EV activity.
 The USB Memory LED will start orange when the USB stick is first inserted.
 Next, the LED will become green while the data transfer is in progress.
 When the data transfer is complete, the LED will turn off. Note that when a GuardII
Archive is full, it can be up to approximately 1.5GB in size, and can take several
minutes to download to a USB memory stick.
At a later time, insert the USB stick into the computer running IAM, and use the Import
Measurement function in IAM to import the data to the database.
NOTE:
In order to download data to a USB stick, the USB stick must not be larger than
2GB, and must be formatted as FAT-16.
6.2. Push Buttons

The buttons are located at the top left inside the enclosure and are visible after opening
the front panel. While there are four buttons, only two of them are used; each button is
associated with a pair of LEDs.
Figure 6-1 GuardII Internal Buttons
6.2.1. Alert
The Alert Button serves three purposes.
 Pressing the button will clear the monitor Alert state.
 By pressing and holding the button for 5s~10s the Alert is forced through its
programmed behavior. For example, if the relay is programmed for Momentary NO
operation, holding the button for 6 seconds will force the relay closed for 4 seconds.
 By pressing and holding the button for more than 10s the Alert is forced into the
active state until it is reset. For example, if the relay is programmed for Momentary
NO operation, holding the button for 10 seconds will force the relay closed until reset.
There are two internal LEDs that indicate the GuardII current Alert state.
 The green LED indicates the current state of the relay itself; if this LED is turned on,
then the relay is currently closed. If the LED is turned off, the relay is currently open.
 The amber LED indicates the Alert status of the GuardII. If this LED is turned on,
then the monitor has detected an Alert. If this LED is turned off, then the monitor has
not detected an Alert. Additionally, this LED could be blinking rapidly; this indicates
that the Alert relay has been forced active using the Alert button.
6.2.2. Online/Offline
The Online/Offline button toggles the monitor between online and offline modes. Hold
the button for a few seconds.
 While online, GuardII is collecting and analyzing data. This is the normal mode of
operation.
 While offline, GuardII stops collecting data.
The green LED inside the monitor indicates if the monitor is online (the LED is turned
on), or offline (the LED is turned off). Additionally the EV Card LED on the front panel will
display a pattern indicating the online/offline state. Refer to Section 8 for full details on the
EV Card LED states.
WARNING:
The monitor MUST be online for normal operation.
Troubleshooting
7. Troubleshooting
The GuardII monitor does not require any special maintenance. If the monitor does not
operate as expected, there is some basic troubleshooting that can be performed before
contacting Iris Power Technical Support.
This section provides details specific to testing an EV Card. This troubleshooting is
done at the GuardII monitor, and cannot be done remotely.
 For details on troubleshooting generic GuardII functions refer to the GuardII Platform
User Manual
 For details on troubleshooting a different monitoring technology, refer to the User
Manual for that technology.
WARNING:
All troubleshooting activities need to be performed by qualified personnel.
The monitor LEDs provide status information; this section describes the most obvious
symptoms of any problem; for full functional descriptions of the EV Card LED, refer to
Section 8.
WARNING:
It is best to check the basic GuardII monitor operation as described in the
GuardII Platform User Manual before trying to troubleshoot the EV Card.
Contact information for Iris Power Technical Support is listed in Section 7.2. When
contacting Technical Support, please provide as much information as possible; the more
information provided, the faster the problem will likely be resolved.
IMPORTANT:
During any troubleshooting process, cables may be disconnected and
swapped between inputs, and settings may be changed; whatever
connection and configuration changes are made must be put back as they
were once finished.
If repairs are required, Iris Power Technical Support will issue a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) with instructions to return the product. If the monitor is out of warranty,
a repair evaluation fee applies. The warranty details are shown in the current Selling Policy
of Iris Power LP.
There is only one main symptom of problems with the GuardII EV Card; other symptoms
may occur, but this is the most likely. This symptom is a loss of data seen in the IAM
software suite.
Troubleshooting
7.1. EV Card Data Loss

Disconnect the input that indicates data loss, and connect an input that is working
properly. In order to keep things simple, try to use an input that has the same number of
axes connected; use a dual-axis sensor to test a dual-axis input, and a single-axis sensor to
test a single-axis input.
To test the Core input, the radial input of another channel must be temporarily re-wired
to the Core input connector. Refer to Figure 5-9 for the wiring connection.
Run a measurement using the IAM software suite, and evaluate the results.
 If the measurement succeeds and produces good results, this indicates a problem
outside of the monitor; in the termination box, the wiring or possibly the sensors
themselves. Contact Iris Power Technical Support for assistance.
 If the measurement does not produce good results, this indicates a problem with the
EV Card. Contact Iris Power Technical Support for assistance.
7.2. Iris Power Technical Support

The following information is required for technical support (the more information about
the issue, the faster the resolution):

9.3. Modbus Register Mapping

GuardII offers a DSIM option that hosts Modbus data points that can be used by external
devices to access the EV results directly from a plant control system on the same network.
This section describes the data points hosted by the monitor for the EV Card.
9.3.1. General
 Each register is an F03 Holding Register
 Unless otherwise noted, all data is expressed as 16-bit unsigned values
 To access the data points, use the Modbus over TCP/IP protocol, connecting to the
GuardII’s Ethernet address
NOTE:
Modbus endwinding displacement values are in microns (1x10-6 m); to
convert to mils, use a conversion factor of /25.4 in the Modbus system
reading the data.
For example, a data point reading 79.6 microns would convert to 79.6 / 25.4
= 3.1 mils.

9.4. Modbus Slave Timing

In order to achieve the best performance when polling GuardII’s Modbus data points, the
following configurations of the polling system should be used:
 Modbus response timeout should be set to no less than 6000ms.
 Modbus polling should occur no more often than once per minute.
9.5. Using PLC-Style Addressing

GuardII uses protocol-style Modbus addressing (Base 0), not PLC-style Modbus
addressing (Base 1). When using PLC-style addressing to acquire Modbus data from
GuardII, this will cause an address shift.
When accessing GuardII data points using PLC-style addressing, the address must be
increased by 1. For example, the Core Sensor Displacement listed at address 30056 in
Section 9.3.4 will be found at address 30057 when using PLC-style addressing.
NOTE:
When accessing GuardII data points using PLC-style addressing, the address
must be increased by 1.
