2. General Overview
2.1 High Level Operational Overview
The 3701 ETS (Emergency Trip System) is a highly configurable, scalable trip
system for all rotating machinery. The system combines highly accurate
overspeed trip circuitry with high-density discrete inputs to make the ETS a
complete, configurable trip system. The ETS has a simple graphical interface that
allows intuitive configuration. It also provides redundant network interfaces and
communicates using the GE Unit Data Highway (UDH™) network architecture.
The ETS provides 6 independent overspeed circuits, each of which can
accommodate either proximity probes or magnetic speed pickups. Each speed
circuit is highly configurable, highly accurate, and designed to meet API612. The
ETS also accepts up to 48 discrete inputs. These inputs, along with the overspeed
signals, can then form the base of trip logic that is virtually infinitely configurable.
Each of the Triple Modular Redundant 3701 ETS units connects to a 2-out-of-3
voting relay module that provides the trip contacts.
For a steam turbine application, the trip contacts control the safety oil system,
which allows the inlet steam valve to actuate. Upon detecting a shutdown
condition, the ETS will activate the trip signals to shut the inlet valve and remove
all steam pressure from the turbine, causing a shutdown. Note that the turbine
manufacturer is responsible for supplying the mechanical shutdown mechanism
for the turbine.

The following sections identify each component of the 3701 ETS. Upon receiving your
system, use this manual to inspect and identify each component. This step is important
and will simplify installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. A complete TMR
system consists of 3 3701 ETS units, 1 TMR relay module, 1 (or 2) TMR cables, and 1
output-to-relay cable. Further, the ETS unit is comprised of 3 card types: the CPU, the
Input Card, and the Output Card. A simplex system consists of a single 3701 ETS unit.

show both link connection and activity for the two 3701 Ethernet links. If the
hardware that is connected to a link is operational, its corresponding link LED
should be on. Likewise, if the module detects traffic on that link, the
corresponding activity LED should flash. For more information, see the
troubleshooting section.
Finally, the CPU module has LEDs that indicate whether or not the power
connections are within operational limits. There is one LED for each power
connection. In normal operation, these should both be on.

In a TMR system, the Output-to-Relay cable connects the first six relays to the
TMR Relay Module. This cable connects the normally open terminals. You can
modify this at your discretion. Also, the remaining two relay outputs are available
for general use.
3.4.3 OK Relay
The OK relay indicates the overall operational state of the entire 3701 ETS unit. If
any internal or external error occurs on any card, the unit will put the relay into
the “Not OK” state. When the system is in the “Not OK” state, it is no longer
reliably providing functional safety. Figure 3-6 shows the OK relay terminal
connections, and Table 3-6 details the connections.
12
Section 3 - Specifications
Note that the OK relay is always “de-energize to trip”, meaning that the coil is
energized in the OK state, and de-energized in the Not OK state. Table 3-7 details
the reasons for a “Not OK” state, and whether or not the 3701 ETS can provide
functional safety. The OK relay is intended only for annunciation, not for
shutdown, but is left to the discretion of the operator. If the OK relay is used for
shutdown, proper care should be taken during online proof testing, as NOT OK
conditions can be intentionally created.

Section 3 - Specifications
If the switch is in the “ON” position, the relay functions as “de-energize to trip”.
This means that in normal, non-alarm operation, the coil of the relay is energized.
This mode is highly suggested for safety functions. If the switch is in the “OFF”
position, the relay functions as “energize to trip”.
Note that there are only four switches, and there are eight relays. As Table 3-9
shows, DIP Switch 1 controls relays 1 and 2, DIP Switch 2 controls Relays 3 and 4,
DIP Switch 3 controls Relays 5 and 6, and DIP Switch 4 controls Relays 7 and 8.

Pin Description
Speed Input “x” positive input, where “x” indicates speed input number 1-6.
This terminal is used for both magnetic pickup and Proximitor sensor
applications. For magnetic pickup, it doesn’t matter which terminal is
Sx+ connected to which wire, since the signal is AC, and biased around zero.
However, for a proximity-based speed measurement, the signal is a
negative voltage. This means the “com” terminal of the Proximitor sensor
is more positive, and should be connected here.
Speed Input “x” negative input, where “x” indicates speed input number 1
through 6. This terminal is used for both magnetic pickup and Proximitor
sensor applications. For magnetic pickup, it doesn’t matter which terminal
Sx- is connected to which wire, since the signal is AC, and biased around zero.
However, for a proximity-based speed measurement, the signal is a
negative voltage. This means the “out” terminal of the Proximitor sensor is
more negative, and should be connected here.
Speed Test Positive Input. When connecting a function generator or other
ST+ test equipment for testing purposes, connect the signal (or positive) output
to this terminal.
There are a total of 48 discrete inputs and 6 speed inputs in the system. Notice
that there are 8 discrete inputs and 1 speed input on each terminal block. For
proper operation, the terminal blocks must be inserted into the correct ETS units.
For systems with only a single input card (only 24 discrete inputs), one terminal
block is placed in each ETS unit. This means that unit #1 has the terminal block
for inputs 1-8, unit #2 has inputs 9-16, and unit #3 has inputs 17-24. The same is
true for a system with 48 inputs, but now additional terminal blocks are added.
See Figure 3-8 for more detail.

The six outputs are labeled “OUT 1” through “OUT 6”, and each output has a “+”
and “-“ connection for the contact. The terminal blocks also provide power inputs
for the solenoid power. If your installation will provide external power for the
solenoids, simply connect the “PWR IN” so that the relay module can monitor the
voltage. If you will not provide external power for the solenoids, then after
connecting the “PWR IN”, simply jumper it to the contact “+” and “-“ pins. The two
rows of terminal connections simplify connections. For example, you can connect
the power and contacts on the bottom row, then on the top row, make the
jumper connections between “PWR IN” and “OUT N” if you will supply the solenoid
power through the contacts. Table 3-14details the pins.

Pin Description
This is one of the two sides of the output contact. It does not matter what
voltage is connected here, but if the solenoid requires a certain polarity, the
OUT X + ‘+‘ designation can be used for consistency. Furthermore, if PWR IN is
jumpered to the contact output, this can be used for consistency here as
well.
24V ALRM Two terminals for 24V alarm contact. Open circuit indicates alarm
ALRM Two terminals for high-voltage alarm. Open circuit indicates alarm.
Figure 3-14 shows the power and contacts for outputs 5 and 6, as well as the
alarm contacts. You can see there are two terminals for the 24V alarm, and two
terminals for the solenoid (high) voltage alarm. These alarm contacts are always
“de-energize to trip”, and are closed during normal operation. An open indicates
an alarm.
24
Section 3 - Specifications
A common configuration for trip applications is a two-out-of-three trip block, with
contacts on both sides of the solenoid. An example in Figure 3-15 illustrates one
of the three solenoids. HV indicates “high voltage”, and is the voltage required to
activate the solenoid. Two contacts are placed in series for redundancy around
the solenoid. In the wiring diagram, you can see how the high voltage supply is
connected to the PWR_IN- terminal, which is jumpered to OUT1-. OUT1+ is then
connected to one side of the solenoid. The other side of the solenoid is connected
to OUT2-. Note that OUT2+ is jumpered to the PWR_IN+ terminal. This same
wiring process would be repeated for solenoid 2 (using OUT3 and OUT4) and
solenoid 3 (using OUT5 and OUT6). You can see how the duplicate terminal blocks
(same connections on both upper and lower blocks) allow for simple jumpering,
clean wiring and added reliability because only one wire per terminal is required.

5. Configuration
You configure most of the ETS unit via the MPC software package for which you
should refer to the MPC software user manual for detailed instructions. However,
this section includes some of the more basic functions of that software for your
convenience.
1. Physically connect the ETS unit you wish to update to the network, as you
must set the IP addresses one-by-one. Use a CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect
the ETS unit to a switch or directly to your host computer.
2. Configure the IP address of the host computer (PC). By default, the ETS units
have IP addresses 192.168.0.101 for port A and 192.168.1.101 for port B, and a
default netmask of 255.255.255.0. You must configure your network
interfaces so that the host computer is on this same subnet. To do so:
a. Right-click on “My Network Places”.
b. Select “Properties”.
c. Select the interface you wish to edit, and select “Properties”.
d. Edit the TCP/IP properties. Figure 5-1 shows an example of setting the
local IP address to 192.168.0.56. This allows your computer to connect
to Port A of the 3701 ETS.
e. Click “OK”.

12. Edit the IP address of the S unit (ETS101) as shown in Figure 5-6. ETS units are
TMR in fashion, meaning that there is an R, S, and T unit. Here, node 100 is the
R unit, node 101 is the S unit, and node 102 is the T unit.
13. Click “OK”, and the unit will automatically update its IP address.
14. Click “OK” to reboot.
15. Repeat for the other 2 ETS units
Application Advisory
Once you change the IP address, the node number
for the unit will change! This means that when you
next try to connect to the unit, you will no longer use
node number 101. Rather, you will use the last octet of
the IP address to which you’ve set the unit. For
example, if you updated the IP address to
192.168.101.35, then you would link to node number
35. Note that it is common practice to give ETS units a
node number between 1 and 40.

5.2.1.2 XDI
XDI is a discrete input block. This function block represents the physical discrete
inputs into the system. The ETS supports 48 discrete inputs, which are numbered
1-48 on the terminal blocks. In the software, you configure an XDI block for 1-48
to correspond to the physical input number. Before you do this, you may need to
change the page properties so that the address format is correct (see Figure 5-9).
If you do not change the address format, then you must enter the addresses for
the XDI blocks as 1-1-1 to 1-1-48 instead of 1 to 48.
44

Double-click on the XDI block to configure its properties. Configuring an XDI
involves many steps. There are many parameters available. Refer to Figure 5-10

The “Properties” tab also contains the “Order” property. This property is one of the
most important parameters associated with all blocks, not just XDI.
As Section 5.2.1.1 discusses, the SystCFG software initially assigns the Order value
when you drop a function block onto a page. However, you can change these
values. The Order value indicates the order in which software evaluates the
function blocks. It is imperative that software evaluates the functions in the order
that you expect. Otherwise, the logic may not function properly, or may take
46
Section 5 - Configuration
much longer than expected to converge. Typically, software should evaluate any
function block that has no inputs first, then function blocks once all of their inputs
have been evaluated, and so on.
5.2.1.3 XSI
XSI is a speed input block. This function block represents the physical speed
inputs. The XSI block has two “analog” outputs, and three digital outputs. The
“analog” outputs indicate the current speed in RPM (Y) as well as the highest
speed that has been detected (Yp). The digital outputs (D1 through D3)
correspond to alarm threshold settings that the software uses to drive the trip
logic. D1 and D2 are overspeed thresholds, and D3 is an underspeed threshold.
You configure the threshold levels in the XSI properties, which are detailed below.
The XSI also has six alarm thresholds. For H, HH, and HHH alarms, the alarm
activates when the RPM value goes above the specified threshold. For L, LL, and
LLL alarms, the alarm activates when the RPM value goes below the specified
threshold. These alarms are hierarchical. That is, if the RPM goes above the H
threshold, the software issues an H alarm. If the RPM continues above the HH
alarm threshold, then the software issues an HH alarm, and the system is no
longer in the H alarm state. If the RPM then decreases below the HH threshold,
but still above the H threshold, the system will transition back to the H alarm
state. As outlined in Table 5-4, some of these alarm thresholds also correspond to
digital output thresholds that the software uses to drive the trip logic.
47
3701 ETS System Manual
Similar to XDI blocks, XSI blocks have an address parameter that corresponds to
the physical address of the input. For example, if your speed sensor is connected
to “S1” on the terminal blocks, then the “Addr” field should contain “1”. If you did
not modify the page settings, and this field still uses the format “xx-xx-xx”, then
you should enter 1-1-1 to 1-1-6 for speed inputs. Table 5-4 describes some of the
parameters that are unique to XSI.

Dead Band. This is similar to Hysteresis. This indicates how
much below the upper limit, or how much above the lower limit
the RPM value must go before it will transition out of the alarm
state. For example, if the H alarm limit is set to 3600 rpm, and
DB is set to 100, then the system will go into H alarm and D2 will
DB 0-65535
go to ‘1’ if the RPM goes equal to or above 3600. It will remain in
alarm and D2 will continue to drive until the RPM falls below
3500. Likewise, if the L alarm limit is set to 2000 RPM, and the
RPM falls equal to or below 2000, D3 will drive high until the RPM
comes back above 2100.
5.2.1.4 XNetDI
The XNetDI is a unique block. XNetDI is a discrete input that comes off the
network, rather than from a physical input. That is, it is an EGD point that the
software consumes and uses to drive the logic. To configure this block, you
simply enter the global name of the point you wish to consume. For example, if
the system has a point labeled “3500_Axial_Trip”, which may be an EGD point
produced by a Bently Nevada 3500 system, you would enter the name as shown
in Figure 5-13.
48
Section 5 - Configuration
This XnetDI block would then receive the updates of the EGD point at the frame
rate and update the internal logic accordingly.
5.2.1.5 XPageDI
The XPageDI allows the user to extend digital logic from one configuration page
to another. For example, assume the software uses an XDI to drive logic on a
particular page. The software can then use the XpageDI block to use the XDI to
drive logic on a different page.
49
3701 ETS System Manual
5.2.1.6 XDO
The XDO is the actual physical discrete output. This is the signal that is used to
trip the solenoid valves. It is similar in nature to an XDI, except that it has a “fail
safe” value that can be configured. Should any of several certain internal errors
occur in the system, and it can no longer guarantee proper operation, this value
will be driven on the outputs to ensure “fail safe” behavior. The SafeS bit should
be set to the state that will cause the machine to safely shut down. Figure 5-14
shows the configuration of this value.

7. System Verification
7.1 Configuration Validation
Before commissioning the ETS system, you must verify that the configuration is
operating as desired. It is your responsibility to perform a commissioning test,
otherwise the ETS is not authorized to perform as a functional safety unit. If
you do not perform this validation test, you can make no claims of functional
safety. Furthermore, it is at your sole discretion to pronounce satisfactory
behavior and commission the ETS system into functionality. As such, these
validation procedures listed below may be insufficient to fully qualify an
installation, but are provided as a minimum guideline to start the validation
procedure.
For each Speed input into the system, you should do the following:
1. Verify the RPM reading in SystCFG matches the current machine speed.
2. Reset the peak RPM and verify that the RPM reading is consistent (no
glitches).
3. Ramp the machine speed up and down and verify the RPM follows as
expected.
56
Section 7 - System Verification
3. Right-click on the input and disable the point in the two units that are
not under test. At this point 2 of the 3 ETS units will have locked the
state of this discrete input to the known good state.
Application Advisory
Since 2 of the 3 inputs are disable, should an actual
trip event occur on this specific discrete input during
the period when they are disabled, a trip will not
occur. Therefore, the safety function for this input is
not functional during this period. The period in which
inputs is disabled should be minimized, and only one
input should be tested at a time.
57

1. Ensure that there are no alarms and no “Not OK” conditions.
2. Connect a test speed generator, such as a waveform generator, to the
test speed inputs on one of the speed inputs.
3. In SystCFG, double-click on the corresponding XSI block.
4. On the “Operator” tab, select “Test On”. This switches the input from
the normal speed input to the test input.
5. Verify that the RPM reported in SystCFG matches the output of the test
equipment. Keep in mind the “number of teeth” setting. The frequency
output from the test equipment will be divided by the “number of
teeth” in reporting the RPM. Here is an example:
Number of Teeth = 30

system. For example, you may have a 2-out-of-3 (2oo3) or a 2-out-of-4 (2oo4)
configuration. You may have configured your system with “energize to trip”
relays and/or “de-energize to trip” relays. This section will describe a common
scenario with “de-energize to trip” relays in a 2-out-of-4 configuration as shown
in Figure 7-1.
This configuration indicates the valves to be: 20-1/AST, 20-2/AST, 20-3/AST, and
20-4/AST. Here they are configured in a serial/parallel configuration. In normal
operation, these valves are closed (that is, they do not allow oil to pass through).
When the ETS detects a trip event, all four valves open and the AST safety oil
pressure drops, causing the steam inlet valve to close. However, if only 1 of the
valves opens, the pressure drop is not sufficient to cause the steam inlet valve to
close. In this case, the ETS can detect a pressure change using the pressure
sensors 63-1 and 63-3 as indicated above.
Typically, the application would connect at least 1 contact from the ETS TMR relay
module to each solenoid. In this case, 4 contacts are used and allow individual
control.
For online testing, the general procedure would be as follows:
This procedure should be repeated for each discrete output.
1. Ensure there are NO alarms and NO “Not OK” conditions. This is
critical, as you don’t want to inadvertently shut the machine down.
2. Right-click on the output and disable the discrete output.
3. Force the discrete output to the shutdown state.

4. Verify that the TMR relay module indicates a high-voltage alarm. If
configured for “de-energize to trip”, this alarm will occur when the ETS
detects a voltage across a relay. In normal operation, all relays are
closed. When de-energized, the relays open, causing the machine to
trip. So if you force a discrete output to the shutdown state, the ETS
should detect a voltage across the relay, and the high-voltage alarm
will annunciate. Both an LED on the TMR relay module will indicate
this, as well as an alarm contact. This condition is expected and you
should verify it.
If the ETS does not detect the alarm, it suggests that the relay is stuck
in a shorted state. In this case, you should plan an outage and
replace the card. If your system is configured for “energize to trip”, the
same condition is true. The DIP switches on the TMR relay allow the
high voltage alarm to detect the condition for which there is no voltage
across the relay, because in normal operation the relay is open and
has a voltage across it. In either configuration, you should detect a
high voltage alarm.
5. Verify the change in safety oil pressure. Since 1 valve is opened, it is
dumping oil, and the pressure should change. However, since only 1
valve is open, the machine will not shut down.
6. Force the discrete output back to the normal operation state, and then
re-enable.
7. Verify that the high-voltage alarm goes away.
8. Verify that the safety oil pressure returns to normal.

This section contains a list of problems and potential solutions.

Problem Try
Ensure that the supply voltage is between +18Vdc and +36Vdc.
Unit will not power
on Ensure that the power supply terminals are connected properly with chassis to
chassis, common to common and +24Vdc to either PRI, SEC or both.
Verify that the CAT5 cable is plugged into the ETS unit and the switch, hub, or host
computer. If the cables are not connected, plug them in now.
Verify that the link LED on the ETS unit is ON. and that the activity LED is blinking. If
there is no link, verify cable connections. If connections are verified, verify that
the CPU card is fully seated and latched into the unit. If there is still no link,
contact your product service representative.
Verify the IP address by “pinging” the unit. If the ETS unit does not reply, the IP
address is not set to what you think it is. In this case, open the MPC software
and run the “SelfTest” utility. This will show any units on the Unit Data
Highway. If you don’t see the unit, then its IP address is on a different subnet
from the host computer. You may not have reset the address from the factory
Cannot connect.
default, which is 192.168.0.101 for port A and 192.168.1.101 for port B. The
subnet mask on the UDH link is commonly set to 255.255.255.0. If your host
computer IP address does not match the first three octets (groups of 3 digits)
of the ETS unit, they will not see each other.
Verify UDP operation. If you have verified the IP address and you can ping the unit,
check if there is a green “good” status in the MPC software. If not, this means
your system is not receiving heartbeat messages. Check if your host computer
allows UDP broadcasts or if a firewall is blocking this type of message.
Verify TCP operation. If you have a green “good” status, and you have confirmed
the IP address of the unit you are trying to connect to, try to link. If you are still
unable to link, contact your product service representative.
Verify your configuration settings. The MPC software validates most settings, but
product revisions may have introduced certain bugs into the software.
- Verify that each point has a unique (and valid) address and tag name.
Discrete input values range from 1 to 48. Discrete output values range
from 1 to 8, and Speed input values range from 1 to 6.
- Verify that the inputs to all blocks connect to other blocks. The only
exceptions to this are as follows:
Cannot load
configuration 1. The QOR8 block does not require all inputs to be connected.
2. The Timer block does not require the RST pin to be connected.
3. The D/MA block does not require any inputs.
- Verify the execution order is unique for every block on a page.
- Verify that all Timer blocks have valid mode settings. Supported modes
are 1: Pulse, 2: TD_ON, and 3: TD_OFF.
