Motor winding temperature monitoring shall not be implemented in the machinery
protection system. Motor winding temperature shall be monitored by 'multipurpose motor
protection' systems which are defined in the Electrical Standards.
Commentary Note:
The motor winding temperature monitoring requirements are defined in Section 8.2 of
JERES-P-113, Motors and Generators.

a portable configuration device, shall be accessible from the front of the monitor
system. The monitor system alarm and shutdown functions shall be manually or
automatically bypassed in accordance with 5.4.1.9 during adjustment. Controlled
access for monitor system adjustments shall be in the form of a programming
access key located at the front of the monitor system rack or via software i.e.,
password protection. Configuration shall be stored in non-volatile memory so it is
not lost in the event of a total power loss to the monitor system. A minimum of
60-days back-up is required for battery back-up of monitor RAM used to store
configuration, values and event lists.
5.4.1.3.h (Modification) The monitor system shall be provided with an internal time clock
and shall have provisions for remotely setting the time and date through the digital
communication port of 5.4.1.4.e. The internal clock time setting or synchronization
shall be made with a maximum latency of 100 milliseconds between the master
remote clock and the monitor system internal clock. The clock shall have battery
backup.
Note: Since the monitor system can implement alarm, shutdown and integrity logic, it shall
also maintain a systems alarm record with an internal clock time stamp. This
record shall be stored in non-volatile memory located in one of the monitor system
modules and not on an external device or computer. The stored values shall be
maintained in the event of a total loss of power or loss of communications to the
monitor system. For purposes of troubleshooting shutdown events, the monitor
systems alarm event file time stamp should match the plant's other control devices.
Commentary Note:
The monitor system shall have provisions for remotely setting the time and date through
the communications port however this functionality does not have to be configured unless
specified in a functional specification document (FSD), project specification, or purchase
order.
5.4.1.3.i (Addition) Any module, installed in the front of the monitor system rack, shall be
capable of being removed and replaced while the system is under power without
affecting the operation of other unrelated modules.
5.4.1.3.j (Addition) It is permissible to install the modules to monitor more than one
machine train in the same monitor system rack (chassis). However, each machine
train shall have dedicated monitor modules. When multiple machine trains are
monitored using a single rack, the monitoring system shall support the capability of
accommodating multiple phase reference transducer inputs from each of these
machine trains/cases.

computer for implementing a CMS for machine train(s) during steady state and

transient operating conditions. This data link shall be independent from digital and
buffered outputs of 5.4.1.4.e.
5.4.1.3.l (Addition) The monitor system modules shall have the capability of onboard self-
test. The monitor system shall have a systems event list to log all module/system
alarms and diagnostic tests results. The event list shall maintain a minimum of 400
events with date and time stamp. The date and time stamp shall be 100 millisecond
resolutions. The event list shall be stored in non-volatile memory located in one of
the monitor system modules and not on an external device or computer. The event
list shall be maintained in the event of a total loss of power or loss of
communications to the monitor system.
5.4.1.4.c (Modification) Individual buffered outputs of all dynamic signals representing
radial shaft vibrations, axial positions, casing vibrations, and phase references shall
be available at the front panel via bayonet nut connectors. A short circuit of this
output to monitor system ground shall not affect the operation or integrity of the
MPS.
5.4.1.4.e (Modification) A digital output proportional to the indicated variable, not the
measured variable, shall be provided at a communications port located at the rear
of the monitor system. A short circuit of this output shall not affect the MPS and
the output shall follow the measured variable and remain at full scale as long as the
measured variable is at or above full scale. Unless otherwise specified, the
protocol utilized for this standard digital output shall be Modicon Modbus. This
communication port shall be a redundant serial RS-485 link or a redundant
Ethernet link (Modbus over TCP/IP). Each communication port shall be on
separate module i.e., both communication ports shall not be located in one
communication module. The serial interface between the Owner's distributed
control system (DCS) and the monitoring system shall be bi-directional such that
read/write functions can be performed from both devices. If the MPS vendor has a
tightly integrated high speed communication link with the owner's DCS, then this
communication link shall be used in lieu of links specified above.
5.4.1.4.g (Addition) Where filters (low/high pass) are used, either at the interface or
monitor, provisions shall be made to allow unfiltered vibration to be monitored
from a buffered test point.
5.4.1.5.j (Modification) A means to identify the first-out alarm (alert) and the first-out
shutdown (danger) shall be provided for each machinery train.

system. (Note: This display is in addition to the computer software based display)
When an integral display is provided, all the requirements listed in 5.4.1.6.a shall

Note: Dual voting logic (two-out-of-two) will be used in the logic solver to prevent the
failure of one relay or the relay module from tripping the machinery train.
5.4.1.8.12 (Addition) For machinery trains that are not sending individual channel alarm
status to the DCS operator interface via a redundant communication link, then
hardwired alarms per section 5.4.1.8.1 shall be used.
