1. General Safety
Before using your 3500/25 SIL Enhanced Keyphasor Module , read and understand the
following precautions thoroughly. Pay attention to all warnings and recommendations to
prevent data loss or inaccuracy, damage to the device, and injury to yourself.

1.1 Receiving Inspection


Visually inspect the monitor for obvious shipping damage. If you detect any damage, file a
claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC ("BHGE").

1.2 Handling and Storing Considerations


Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board voids the
warranty. To avoid damage to your device, observe the following precautions:
1. Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or procedures such as ungrounded
soldering irons and nonconductive plastics that cause static damage to the circuit board.

2. Personnel must be grounded with a suitable grounding strap before handling or maintaining a printed circuit
board.

3. Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or foil.

4. Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30 % multiplies the accumulation of
static charges on any surface.

3. Hardware
The 3500 system is a rack based machinery protection and condition monitoring platform
that provides information to assess and protect the mechanical condition of rotating and
reciprocating machinery. The system continuously measures and monitors various
protection and supervisory parameters. It provides important information for early
identification of machinery problems such as imbalance, misalignment, shaft crack and
bearing failures.
The 3500 system has different slots where you can install system monitors and modules.
The monitors accept inputs from transducers, condition the signals to provide various
measurements, and compare the conditioned signals with user-programmable alarms.
Alarm statuses are generated and broadcast onto the system alarming networks.

In SIL-certified systems, the safety function is supported by one or more SIL-certified


monitors. These monitors supply alarm and status information to one or more relay modules.
Where the application calls for alarm information based on measurements related to the
rotational phase of the machine, a conditioned Keyphasor signal must be provided to the
monitor.  This signal is used by the monitor to generate the phase-related measurements
and their associated alarms to be generated.  These applications require the use of a
Keyphasor module in the 3500 system. 
The relay modules consume the information to resolve machine trip logic and drive their
relay outputs.
The 3500 system also has relay modules that observe the alarming networks and drive
relays based on user programmable relay logic. The relay outputs are the monitoring
system’s safety output function. The relay outputs are used in the greater Safety
Instrumented Function (SIF) to bring the process to a safe state.

The core 3500 system consists of the following components:


l A rack chassis
l A backplane circuit board
l Redundant power supplies
l A rack interface module
The balance of the rack is made up of a series of monitoring slots. The minimum rack
includes seven slots. The full-size rack has 14 slots. The system performs machinery
monitoring including SIL-certified functionality.
The following diagram depicts the 3500 safety element architecture for safety instrumented
functions that include phase-related measurements:

124M5527 Rev. - 8
3500/25 SIL Enhanced Keyphasor Module
SIL Safety Manual

A SIL-certified 3500 system consists of one or more certified monitors interacting with one or
more certified relay modules. The monitors and relay modules function within the 3500
architecture and communicate with each other. You cannot directly interface the monitors
and relay modules to external devices except as depicted in the 3500 safety element
architecture.
The monitors and relay modules are certified individually. You can use them for many safety
instrumented function applications.

3.1 Rack Interface Monitor


The 3500/22M Transient Data Interface module (TDI) performs the interface functions for the
3500 system. You must use the TDI to configure the monitors and modules in the system.
The TDI's Rack OK relay provides an output to indicate the overall system health.
The TDI includes the following physical and software mechanisms to prevent unauthorized
configuration changes:
l A configuration control keyswitch that locks system configuration
l A password required to modify system configuration

3.2 System Power Supplies


The 3500/15 System Power Supply accepts power from one of several possible power
mains sources. The system conditions the input into internal rack power supplies that
support internal power busses for the consumption of the installed monitors and modules.
Each 3500/15 Power Supply is capable of supporting all 3500 system functions. When two
supplies are installed in a rack, they provide fully redundant system power mains capability.
This feature automatically switches out the support of rack power load when one supply or
its power mains experiences a fault.
For 3500 systems supporting SIL-certified safety elements, redundant power supplies are
required.

124M5527 Rev. - 9
3500/25 SIL Enhanced Keyphasor Module
SIL Safety Manual

3.3 Monitors
The 3500 monitors accept inputs from transducers in the field and condition signals into
measurements useful for machinery protection. The monitors constantly compare the
measurements against configured alarm setpoints to generate alarm and channel OK
statuses. These statuses are broadcast onto system alarming networks.
A monitor’s safety function is the broadcast alarm status and validity states on the alarming
network. All available software configuration options and logic parameters are valid for
supporting the safety function without restriction. You can select and arrange these
parameters to suit your application requirements.
The monitors are installed in any of the monitoring slots available in the system. We offer
numerous SIL-certified monitors for the 3500 system, each providing different machinery
protection capabilities. You can combine different certified monitors and duplicate them to
achieve the required safety instrumented functionality.
A 3500 monitor is composed of a main card and an I/O module. The I/O module interfaces
with the transducers producing the machinery-related signals and conditions the signals for
the monitor main card. The main card generates measurements from transducer information
as well as alarm and status messages.

3.4 Enhanced Keyphasor Module


The 3500 system Keyphasor modules accept inputs from transducers in the field each
observing a single event per machine revolution feature.  The module processes each
resulting input signal into a conditioned machine phase reference signal.  Each conditioned
signal is broadcast onto its own system Keyphasor bus for use by the monitors installed in
the system. 
The modules are installed in any of the monitoring slots available in the system to provide
the SIL-rated Keyphasor function needed to support one or more SIL-certified monitors to
create phase-related safety measurement and alarms.
The module’s fundamental safety function is the conditioned Keyphasor signal broadcast on
one of the internal rack Keyphasor buses
The module is configured using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. The configuration
options available must be restricted per section 4.2.3 of this manual.  These parameters can
be selected and arranged to suit the specific application requirements

3.5 Relay Modules


The 3500 system relay modules consume the alarm and status information broadcast onto
the system alarming networks. The relay modules constantly compare these messages

124M5527 Rev. - 10
3500/25 SIL Enhanced Keyphasor Module
SIL Safety Manual
against the configured relay drive logic to provide machinery protection trip output
capability.
A 3500 relay module is a multi-channel module composed of the following:
l A main card known as the relay controller
The relay controller interfaces with the 3500 system alarming network to process its
configured relay drive logic and generate relay channel drive signals.
l A relay output module
The relay I/O module accepts the relay drive signals from the controller. The module
contains the relay devices which provide the machinery trip contacts.
Each channel provides independent Alarm Drive Logic functionality. You can develop
complex logic strings using Boolean (AND and OR) logic elements. The logic acts on the
alarm states (alert, danger) and validity states (Not OK) generated by monitors. The states
are available from the system alarming networks. Each channel’s logic string drives its own
relay output intended as a machinery trip output.

3.6 3500/25_SIL2 Setup and Hardware


The 3500/25_SIL2 is a two-channel, half-height Keyphasor module. When a single channel
is applied in a one-out-of-one (1oo1) architecture, the module can be used to achieve a SIL
2 capable solution.
To properly configure the monitor using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, refer to the
3500/25 Enhanced Keyphasor Module Operation and Maintenance Manual (document
129770).
For proper field wiring setup to connect transducers to the 3500/25_SIL2 I/O, refer to the
3500 System Field Wiring Diagram Package (document 130432).

5. Functional Specifications
The 3500/25_SIL2 Enhanced Keyphasor Module receives analog input signals from
proximity probes or magnetic pickups and converts them to conditioned digital signals
transmitted down the backplane to indicate when the Keyphasor mark on the shaft is in line
with the probe. The 3500 System Monitoring modules use this Keyphasor signal from the
backplane to calculate vector parameters such as 1X amplitude and phase, and compare
the measured parameter to the configured alarm set points. As a result of this comparison,
the monitors generate alarm statuses and broadcast them onto the system alarming
networks. The safety function is the monitor's broadcasting of the alarm status and validity
states on the alarming network.
The test institute has assessed the associated safety-related elements of Proximitors,
monitors and system relay modules such as 3500/32M_SIL and documented the results in
test reports.

5.1 Systematic Capability


The 3500/25M_SIL2 techniques and measures to avoid and control systematic failures
during the safety lifecycle phases were inspected by TÜV Rheinland, which resulted in a
systematic capability of SIL 2 in accordance to IEC 61508: 2010, route 1S.

5.2 Architectural and Random Constraints


The calculation of the 3500/25_SIL2 Enhanced Keyphasor Module’s safety relevant
parameters has shown that the requirements of SIL 2 to IEC 61508: 2010 are fulfilled in a
1oo1 configuration.
The component level FMEDA was carried out by TÜV Rheinland under consideration to the
requirements of IEC 61508, parts 1-7:2010. Component failure rates were based on SN
29500, with a maximum ambient temperature of 65°C.
To achieve the targeted SIL 2, the safety related parameters are:
l Average probability of a dangerous Failure on Demand (PFD) < 10 E-2
l The 3500/25_SIL2 operates in a low demand mode.
l The 3500/25_SIL2 has a hardware safety integrity route of 1H.
l The 3500/25_SIL2 has a systematic safety Integrity route of 1S.
l The rated life time of the 3500/25_SIL2 is 10 years.
l The 3500/25_SIL2 is a Type B safety-related element with the Safe Failure Fraction
(SFF) of 90% - <99%.

124M5527 Rev. - 16

6. Failure Modes
NOTE

When performing the FMEA on the 3500/25_SIL2 the failure modes of the input
sensors (Proximitor, or magnetic pickup) were not included in the
FMEAcalculation.

This chapter covers the failure modes of the 3500/25_SIL2 and its internal diagnostics
system. Subsequent sections list the estimated failure rate for each failure mode.
The failure rates are driven by the following assumptions:
l Failure rates are based on Siemens standard SN 29500 at the outlined maximum
temperature limits shown under the user manual of the relevant component.
l The failure rate is constant over time.
l The listed failure rates are in Failures in Time (FIT).

For the failure rates of the monitor, relay module or a sensor, refer to their SIL manuals.
The 3500/25_SIL2 Enhanced Keyphasor module is set up for a single channel in a 1oo1
configuration. This configuration provides a hardware fault tolerance of zero. The module is
categorized as a Type B safety related element or subsystem.

6.1 Failure Modes of the Module


The FMEDA report outlines the failure modes of the 3500/25_SIL2 Keyphasor module. The
SIL report includes the FMEDA report. Contact GE Bently Nevada for the SIL report.

6.2 Failure Modes Not Detected by Internal Diagnostics


A failure mode may occur in the 3500/25_SIL2 module that is not capable of being detected
by the internal diagnostics of the module. This condition is not reported, there is no
adjustment of the Rack OK relay, and the relay output module does not change state.  This
is the case whether the failure is safe or dangerous.
l The module does not report the failure mode.
l The associated monitors do not adjust the alarm output states.
l The Rack OK relay does not change state.

6.3 Failure Modes Detected by Internal Diagnostics


The 3500/25_SIL2 module has internal diagnostics capabilities. When any failure of the
module is detected by the diagnostics, the module responds by annunciating the condition.
The Rack OK relay on the 3500/22M TDI changes state to Not OK, and the TDI records the
failure in the 3500 System Event List.

When the transducer or module is unable to generate a conditioned Keyphasor signal


output, the associated monitor detects the condition, and annunciates the loss of the
conditioned Keyphasor signal.  The associated monitor responds by adjusting its alarming
behavior per its application-specific design, and the TDI records the loss of Keyphasor in
the 3500 System Event List. For a list of failure codes detected by the internal diagnostic
system, refer to the 3500/25 Operation and Maintenance Manual (document 129770).

Diagnostic Test Interval


The cycle interval between internal diagnostic tests is one hour maximum. The interval is far
less in most cases. Diagnostics checks may take up to one hour to complete under worst-
case conditions.

System Outputs
When the internal diagnostic system of the 3500/25_SIL2 detects a failure mode, the state of
the Rack OK relay changes to Not OK.
LED Fault Conditions
For a list of the LED fault conditions, refer to the 3500/25 Operation and Maintenance
Manual (document 129770).

6.4 Failure Modes of the Diagnostic System


The FMEDA report contains the failure modes of the 3500/25_SIL2 diagnostic system.
Contact GE Bently Nevada for the FMEDA report.

6.5 External Diagnostics


A 3500 system with the 3500/25_SIL2 module must include at least one of the 3500 SIL-
certified monitors and system relay module. The relay module provides safety relay output
functionality to the system. It also functions as an external diagnostic device when the
monitor cannot broadcast alarming messages. You must configure the relay drive logic with
at least one alarm.

3500/25 SIL Enhanced Keyphasor Module
SIL Safety Manual
To support the SIL-certified module, the 3500 system must have a 3500/22M TDI module.
The Rack Interface Module performs diagnostics on the installed monitors and modules.
These diagnostics are different from those performed by each monitor internally.
When the Rack Interface Module detects a failure mode for one of the monitors, it changes
the status of the Rack OK relay to Not OK.
For a list of failure modes that drive the Rack OK relay, refer to the FMEDA report. The SIL
report includes the FMEDA report. Contact GE Bently Nevada for the SIL report.

7. Periodic Proof Test


You cannot repair the circuit boards and components of the 3500 modules in the field. To
maintain the 3500 rack, you can test the monitors' channels to verify their operation.
Replace the monitors and modules that are not operating correctly.
If the 3500 rack is not in a hazardous area, you may install the 3500/25_SIL2 module into
or remove the module from the rack while power is applied to it.
If the 3500 rack is in a hazardous area, refer to the Rack Installation and Maintenance
Manual (document 129766) for the proper installation and removal procedures.
Document BS EN 60079-0:2012 defines a hazardous environment as an area in which an
explosive atmosphere is present, or may be expected to be present, in quantities that
require special precautions for the construction, installation and use of electrical apparatus.

7.1 How to Choose a Periodic Proof Test Interval


The proof test coverage provided by the periodic proof test of the 3500/25_SIL2 module
varies depending on the installed I/O module as listed below:
Non-Isolated I/O with Internal or External Terminations (B01 or B02)
PTC = 63%
Isolated I/O with Internal or External Terminations (B04 or B05)
PTC = 74%
Barrier I/O with Internal Terminations (B03)
PTC = 52%

The dangerous failures that fall outside the monitors' diagnostic capabilities are considered
dangerous undetected failures. They must be detected as part of periodic proof test
activities.
GE Bently Nevada Recommends a periodic proof test interval of 1 year but by using the
PFDAVG equation from 61508-6 that is appropriate for the specific safety-related system, the
effect on the PFDAVG value can be determined for longer or shorter periodic proof test
intervals.

7.2 Periodic Proof Test Guide


The proof test verifies the hardware and configuration integrity. The following manuals
describe the verification procedures and the recommended test equipment:
