• 80 W consumption
Note
A 500 W UPS is recommended.
Two 10 A fuses for the power input are accessible through a small
access panel between the receptacle and the power switch. The
access panel can be opened with a flathead screwdriver.
Figure 4. Power input access panel
The CSI 2600 offers up to 24 sensor channels. The connections are

made through the BNC connectors on the rear of the CSI 2600.
10
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
In addition, the CSI 2600 offers up to 4 tach channel connections,

up to 4 digital relay channel connections, and 1 Ethernet HUB and 1
NIC.
The CSI 2600 can accept any sensor type with AC component 10V
pk-pk and DC component < +/-24 V, AC+DC not to exceed +/-24 V.
Accelerometers can be powered by the CSI 2600 system’s power
supply when sensor power is enabled via the DIP switches on the
termination panel, accessible through the rear panel (see Figure
98). Displacement probes can be powered by the auxiliary -24 VDC
power supply. The output for this -24 VDC power supply is on the
rear of the CSI 2600.
Tachometers should provide 1/rev pulses of >0.5V pk-pk with tach
pulse 2x noise.
WARNING!
Make sure that the sensor power is disabled when connecting to a protection
system with unbuffered BNC outputs.
Termination board access

The two thumbscrews at the bottom of the CSI 2600 rear panel can
be loosened by hand to allow for access to the termination board
which is where the DIP switches that control sensor power are
mounted. Toggle the DIP switch to the left to turn sensor power off
or to the right to turn sensor power on. The set of four DIP switches
on SW1 controls sensor power for channels 1 - 4. Sensor power for
the subsequent channels is controlled by the DIP switches on SW2,
SW3, SW5, SW6, and SW7. The rear panel’s hinges can be locked in
the open position to keep the panel open while the DIP switches are
adjusted. In order to lock the panel open, lift the panel all the way
up and then gently push downward near the top center of the panel,
as shown.

Figure 5. Rear panel access
Reverse the process to unlock the panel so that it may be closed

again after adjusting the DIP switches.
CAUTION!
Be sure to close the panel before powering the CSI 2600. It is not recom-
mended to power the CSI 2600 while the rear panel is opened.
12
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Before turning on the CSI 2600

Before powering up the CSI 2600, connect the sensors,
tachometers, and relays to the BNC panel.
CAUTION!
Whenever making connections to unbuffered sensor signals, ensure that
physical contact with these signals will not perturb other monitoring or
protection systems.
If connecting the laptop to the CSI 2600 for the first time, you will
need to use the RS-232 serial connection cable for HyperTerminal to
properly program and initialize the CSI 2600.
Turning on the CSI 2600 (the first time)

To turn the CSI 2600 on for the first time, plug the power cord into a
standard 120 - 240 VAC input. First, press the toggle switch to ON at
the rear of the case. Then, press the toggle switch to ON at the front
of the case. The host laptop/server must already be powered up,
configured with downloadable firmware, and connected to the CSI
2600. HyperTerminal is used to monitor/modify CSI 2600 boot.
HyperTerminal should be pre-configured at 9600 N 8 1 (see
Configuring a CSI 2600 with HyperTerminal on page 52).
Monitoring communications
Monitoring communications between the CSI 2600 and the laptop
is done by way of the HUB port on the front of the CSI 2600 when
connected with the included standard ethernet cable. Alternatively,
you may use the NIC port when connecting the CSI 2600 to a local
area network.
Running the CSI 2600

Once the CSI 2600 is running, you can disconnect the laptop. With
the laptop disconnected, the CSI 2600 runs in “dat recorder mode”
optimized for turbo machinery transient data. That is, waveform
13
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
from up to 24 channels and 4 tachs is recorded continuously and

simultaneously at 40 MB/hr per channel for up to 80 GB. Once the
laptop is reconnected, portions of this recorded data can be
extracted for use with the AMS Machinery Manager Diagnostic
Plotting Transient Analysis Tools.
Field-based processing of multiplexed predictive data will continue,
but this type of data is optimized for a laptop being connected. With
the laptop disconnected, the data is buffered in the CSI 2600’s
internal memory. The amount of time it will take to fill up the CSI
2600’s internal memory is dependent upon how the data storage
settings are configured in the database. While the CSI 2600 is in “dat
recorder mode,” data will not be written to the database on the
laptop. Once the storage capacity of the CSI 2600 is reached, it will
automatically start recording over the oldest data.
For example, each transient signal connection will store
approximately 40 MB of data per hour, and will transfer up to one
hour of transient information to the laptop when a predefined
transient event occurs (that is, machine trip). If the laptop is not
connected, loss of data or data overwrite may occur.
Turning off the CSI 2600

Before powering off the CSI 2600, make sure that the laptop has
been connected long enough to allow all of the desired data to be
transferred to the laptop for storage. You can verify this by checking
the timestamps of the data being reported in the Online Watch
application and once those times have progressed past the time
range of interest, data collection can be stopped and the CSI 2600
can be powered off.
Turn the toggle switch to OFF on the front of the CSI 2600 and on
the rear of the case. After the CSI 2600 has powered down, remove
the cables connected to the BNC panel. Disconnect the external
14
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
hard drive (if one is connected). Disconnect the laptop. Unplug the
CSI 2600. The CSI 2600 can now be lowered back into its case.
CAUTION!
Whenever making connections to unbuffered sensor signals, ensure that
physical contact with these signals will not perturb other monitoring or
protection systems.
Connecting an external NAS hard drive

If the NAS drive is to be used as the primary drive for transient
storage, that NAS drive should be connected to the same port that
is used to connect to the hub that is between the CSI 2600 and the
server. The NAS drive should be housed in a location acceptable to
the NAS drive manufacturer. The NAS drive should be capable of
continuous write at >20 MB/s 100Base-T minimum. Power supplied
to the NAS drive should be supplied according the NAS drive
requirements.
Storing data on the NAS hard drive

The CSI 2600 supports NAS drives up to 200 GB in size. A 200 GB
NAS drive can store around 4500 channel-hours of Transient data,
based on an average of 40 MB an hour of data, per transient
channel. The CSI 2600 has up to 24 transient channels.
If the 200 GB NAS drive is storing data from 24 transient channels,
then it can store approximately 220 hours per channel of data
before it begins to overwrite the oldest measurements. If 12
channels are connected, about 440 hours can be stored.

March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Services used in CSI 2600 operation include: CSI_MhmRemote,

CsiMtdbMgr, CsiNetAdmin, CsiO_server, and FTP Publishing. These
services were initialized when the laptop was configured as an online
server. They automatically startup whenever the laptop is powered
up (note column “Startup Type” in the Services subfolder screen).
Therefore, their status should always be “Started.”
CSI 2600
This is the hardware portion of the monitoring system. It is a
portable unit which is connected to the server via Ethernet.
O_server
This service is the central process which handles all non-transient
activity on the online system. It is responsible for processing most
requests from the client, sending configuration information to and
receiving data from the CSI 2600. On the laptop, this is a service
running under Computer Management > Services and Applications
> Services List.
NetAdmin
This service is responsible for handling the user's access to the
various programs within the AMS Machinery Manager software. On
the laptop, this is a service running under Computer Management >
Services and Applications> Services List.
MtDbMgr
This is the database server service which handles most of the
reading and writing operations performed on databases stored on
the server. It also indexes and verifies the integrity of databases. On
the laptop, this is a service running under Computer Management>
Services and Applications > Services list.
20
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
MHMRemote
This service handles transient data generated by the CSI 2600 as well
as the database access required by the Diagnostic Analysis program.
On the laptop, this is a service running under Computer
Management > Services and Applications > Services list.
Online Configuration
Also referred to as O_config, this program allows the user to create
new and modify existing databases for use with the online system.
System commissioning is also handled through O_config. On the
laptop, this is an application inside the AMS Machinery Manager
Tools tab.
Online Watch
Also known as O_watch, this program provides the user with a
graphic interface that allows the viewing of data sent to the server
by the CSI 2600, management of transient acquisition and auto-
extraction, adjustment of alarm levels and on-demand data
acquisition. On the laptop, this is an application inside the AMS
Machinery Manager Tools tab.
Vibration Analysis
This application allows the user to request and save transient data,
view live streaming data and provides a variety of analysis functions
necessary for analyzing the data generated by the CSI 2600. On the
laptop, this is an application inside the AMS Machinery Manager on
the Vibration Analysis tab.
IIS FTP
Microsoft's IIS includes an FTP server which needs to be installed to
allow the CSI 2600 to load firmware from the server. On the laptop,
21
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
this is a service running under Computer Management> Services

and Applications > Services list.
Firmware
The firmware is a set of two files, which are loaded from the laptop
during the boot up of the CSI 2600. This allows most system
updates to be installed on the laptop like any other program update
without the requirement of any special interaction with the CSI
2600 beyond rebooting it to allow it to load the new version. The
firmware files are stored in the directory C:\Inetpub\ftproot\bin.
Database structure for prediction

processing
For detailed instructions on building a database, refer to the online
help within the Online Configuration program.
The structure of an online database is designed to mirror the real
world structure of the equipment being monitored. The Database
structure for prediction processing diagram shows the relationships
of the various elements of an online database.
22
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Figure 10. Database structure for prediction processing
Collection criteria
AP Set - The analysis parameter set defines a particular way to
collect spectral data. The AP Set specifies the number of lines of
resolution; any averaging modes and windowing; whether to be
order-based, what FMax to use, and what parameters are to be
collected.
AL Set - A collection of Alarm Limits. Each AL Set is associated with a
specific AP Set. There may be multiple AL Sets defined for any given
AP Set to accommodate changing monitoring conditions. The alarm
limit definition determines when alarms occur, data is stored and
output relays are set.
Collection Predicate - A predicate is an expression that compares
the conditions of vibration levels and/or input relay states to
determine when data is collected and transient auto-archives are
extracted.
23
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Logical hierarchy
Area - A user-defined grouping of equipment. An Area often
corresponds to a building or section of a process line within a plant.
Equipment - A group of coupled devices that logically should be
monitored together. Most often a machine train made up of a driver
component (such as a motor) and one or more driven components
(such as a pump or fan).
Component - A specific, single asset to be monitored, possibly with
multiple sensors. Usually a driver or driven piece of machinery.
Motors, engines, turbines, pumps, fans, etc. are examples of
components.
Measurement Point - Corresponds to a single physical sensor.
Groups together all the data from all the collections that have been
defined for a particular sensor. Any Gross Scan data collected on the

Field wiring
In addition to predictive monitoring, the CSI 2600 is also a portable
transient monitoring system, which means in most applications it is
24
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
being connected to already installed sensors, normally through

existing patch panels or monitoring modules.
Figure 11. CSI 2600 Field wiring diagram
Portable transient monitoring has two important application

distinctions, when compared to a fixed, permanently connected
system. These are:
• The portable application includes actions of connecting and
disconnecting cables between the CSI 2600 monitoring unit,
and installed modules or even junction boxes. It will be critical
to ensure that these actions do not perturb signals, in such a
manner that any permanently installed monitoring systems,
interpret temporary signal fluctuations as trip conditions. This
is not a concern when connecting to module “buffered
outputs.”
• Modules may condition the input signal, and present a
modified version to their own output connections (which are
the input connections to the CSI 2600). For instance, some
modules connect to a proximity probe sensor, which provides
a DC output equivalent to gap voltage (usually about -10 V)
and an AC voltage equivalent to vibration (millivolt signal).
25
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
These modules are configured or programmed to provide a

version of the input signal, at an output connection. The
output signal could be a 0 to 10 V version of the input.
An analyst must know the sensitivity and offset of signals connected
to the CSI 2600, which may be the same (or different) as signals
connected to existing modules. An analyst must also know if the CSI
2600 connections are to buffered or unbuffered field wiring or
module outputs.
Configuration: Network
A typical, complete CSI 2600 system is shown in the table, CSI 2600
system. IP addresses are unique addresses which systems on a
network use to communicate with each other. Three are shown:
• Laptop (192.168.0.1)
• CSI 2600 Prediction Processor (192.168.0.10)
• CSI 2600 Transient Processor (192.168.0.11)
Note
The IP addresses shown in this manual are examples only. Each system will have
a unique IP address.
The laptop has an Ethernet port, which is connected to the CSI

2600. The port has an address. The CSI 2600 has two processing
boards, both of which communicate using the same physical
Ethernet connection on the CSI 2600 front panel. These boards have
IP addresses that are stored in non-volatile memory (memory that
does not get cleared when you turn the unit off). For a CSI 2600
system to communicate:
• IP address of the laptop must match a value stored in non-
volatile memory in each CSI 2600 processing board.
• IP address of the CSI 2600 CPU board must match a value
listed in AMS Machinery Manager software, as “belonging to”
the database in use.
26
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Later sections of this manual describe how to read IP addresses, and

even how to change them. But the key point is that the CSI 2600
must “know” its server address, and the laptop must “know” IP
addresses of its CSI 2600s.

Laptop IP: 192.168.0.1
Configuration: Memory
The CSI 2600 is a continuous online monitoring system. Once
configured, and until stopped, it will collect both “predictive” and
“transient” measurements, storing them in an AMS Machinery
Manager database and archives, respectively.
For the transient channels, the CSI 2600 continuously writes
waveform measurements to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD). When the
drive fills up, the system will begin writing over the oldest
measurements.
27
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
A rule of thumb to use for an 80 GB HDD when estimating the depth

of the HDD (in hours) is to divide 1930 by the number of channels
commissioned for transient operation. For example, consider a 4-
bearing boiler feed pump monitoring system which has a total of 14
sensors. This could include four radial pairs (proximity probes), two
thrust, one case expansion, one eccentricity, and two horizontal
accelerometers. The eight proximity probes are commissioned for
transient and normal operation. An 80 GB HDD will hold the most
recent 1930/8 hours of information for each transient channel; or
approximately 240 hours (10 days).
The CSI 2600 is both a continuous monitoring system, and a
portable monitoring system. It can be moved from one piece of
equipment to another, and measurements can be stored in one
database (for the first equipment) and then in another (for the
second equipment).
For example, a CSI 2600 is connected to a set of protection
modules, which are wired to sensors on a boiler feed pump. A
database has been built, and is receiving measurements from the
CSI 2600 monitoring unit. Transient waveform measurements are
stored in an HDD, until a transient event occurs.
Because this is also a portable system, the CSI 2600 and laptop may
be disconnected from the Boiler Feed Pump monitoring rack, and
moved to a rack of modules monitoring a turbine. This requires an
intermediate step, between disconnection from the feed pump
rack, and connection to the turbine rack. Data collection must be
stopped into the feed pump database, the turbine database must be
loaded into the laptop, and the turbine database configuration must
be downloaded into the CSI 2600 monitoring unit. This prevents
measurements (predictive and transient) from the turbine, from
being accidentally loaded into the feed pump database.
In this same example, one more intermediate step may also need to
be performed. An “archive” of measurements is created by a trigger
event on the feed pump. This archive is automatically sent to the
laptop. However, there are a lot of other measurements stored on
the CSI 2600. In the example, about 240 hours of information per
transient channel is on the CSI 2600 for the boiler feed pump
configuration. Machinery Health Manager software permits an
analyst to view and extract some or all of these measurements,
28
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
storing them on the laptop. If an analyst wishes to do this, he / she

must remove the measurements from the CSI 2600, before starting
up the turbine database on the laptop and downloading it into the
CSI 2600.
Changing databases, and extracting transient data from the CSI
2600 is described in the next chapter of this manual.
CSI 2600
The CSI 2600 monitoring unit consists of:
• An AC power connection (110 - 220 V, 50/60 Hz)
• An Ethernet connection
• Signal connections for 1 - 24 sensors
• Tachometer connections for 1 - 4 sensors
• Digital I/O relay connections for 1 - 4 relays
• System power status LEDs
• An attached cooling fan
Power input
The AC power connection has an IEC 320 C13 receptacle. A North
American 3-prong plug (NEMA 5-15P) is provided. However, the
unit may be powered with either 110 V / 60 Hz or 220 V / 50 Hz
input power. No internal switches need to be adjusted to select
power type.
Note
The quality of the power provided to the CSI 2600 is very important. Although
the CSI 2600 contains input protection and some degree of line conditioning, it
is important to provide the unit with good clean power when the power is
ground isolated from the production equipment.
29
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Ethernet ports
Figure 12. Ethernet ports on the CSI 2600
The NIC port may be used when connecting the CSI 2600 to a LAN.
The HUB port may be used when connecting directly to the laptop
in situations where connection to the plant LAN is either not desired
or not available.
Signal inputs
The CSI 2600 is designed to receive voltage signals from sensors or
external modules. The online database will include voltage-to-
vibration conversion specifics, such as sensitivity, DC and AC alarm
levels, offsets (if any). But the system expects voltage signals.
Signals such as 4-20 mA, RTDs, Thermocouples require external
conditioning electronics (normally a programming or terminal
option with installed modules to which the CSI 2600 connects).
The 4 tachometer inputs on the CSI 2600 rear panel also provides
BNC connections for up to 4 tachometer signals. These tachometers
can be used for both “prediction” and “transient” signal collection.
Note
Not all signals connected to a CSI 2600 need to be designated as transient.
Some signals do not carry unique transient information, and an analyst does not
wish to include high-speed samples of these signals in transient archives. These
are referred to in this manual as prediction signals. Others, such as radially
mounted pairs of proximity probes, do carry significant transient information.
These are referred to in this manual as transient signals.
30
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Optional 4-channel relay inputs/outputs

The CSI 2600 includes up to 4 I/O relay connections that provide
optically isolated digital inputs or dry contact outputs. Inputs can be
between 5 V and 24 VDC. Outputs are limited to 24 VDC @ 0.5A.
Each I/O relay channel on the 6510 module contains both input and
output hardware. The relays are configurable as either input or
output relays, with a DIP switch (SW1) on the circuit board. A relay
channel that is configured in software can not be utilized unless the
corresponding DIP switch is set to the correct position. The
firmware will detect the DIP switch state at startup and generates a
flag in the HyperTerminal session if the software configuration does
not match the DIP switch setting.
The DIP switches are used to protect a user input device from
inadvertently being shorted by a relay output configuration. Set the
corresponding DIP switch to the “ON” position for output relays,
and to the “OFF” position for input relays. The factory default state
of the DIP switches is OFF (Input). DIP switch 1 is for the first relay
channel and DIP switch 2 is for the second relay channel. The I/O
relay DIP switches are shown in Figure 19 on page 52.
The shelf-state of the output relays is normally open, meaning that
they are open when the power is disconnected. During operation of
the unit, the relays are closed until activated by an alarm, then they
are open.
31
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Typical relay usage in online monitoring system includes:

• (input) Transient event indicator, perhaps from a switch, DCS,
external module
• (output) Bad / failed sensor indication
• (output) Alarm level indication
• (output) Speed level indication
• (output) Radial Trip Predicate state
• (output) Axial Thrust Predicate state
In most applications, the CSI 2600 will connect to buffered outputs
of a protection system. These modules normally have relay outputs
which indicate alarm levels, or bad / failed sensors. However, the CSI
2600 relays are different in that:
• A CSI 2600 alarm relay state may be based upon either overall
vibration value (i.e., the attached module), or Analysis
parameter signal level (i.e., energy at 1x turning speed, energy
at 2x turning speed)
• All, some, or one of the alarm indicators may be mapped to
the same CSI 2600 alarm relay output. In other words, all of
the “Bad/Failed sensor” signal levels may be (internally)
connected to a single relay. All of the “High alarm” signal levels
may be (internally) connected to a single relay.
Radial Trip and Axial Thrust predicates are special methods of
configuring voting logic for relay closures and are explained in
Emerson Machinery Health Manager manuals, such as the “Online
Software” guide (MHM-97460). These are innovations provided by
the CSI 2600 system, which have value in turbo machinery
applications.

Hardware configuration
Introduction
Description
The 6560 Processor Module (in combination with the 6510 Signal
Input Module) is a multi-channel, multi-tasking, multi-processor
data acquisition system primarily intended for monitoring heavy
industrial rotating machinery. Typical signal inputs are dynamic AC
machine vibration signatures from accelerometers, velocity probes,
or proximity probes. These signals include two components: the
dynamic AC component, which represents machine vibration, and a
DC component, which represents the sensor bias level. In the case of
a proximity probe, the DC component represents the gap, or
average distance between the probe tip and the machine shaft.
Other signal inputs include process signals; these are DC parameters
such as temperature or pressure.
Tachometer inputs are used to determine machine speed. These
tachometer signals are typically generated from a proximity probe
or passive magnetic sensor positioned at a machine shaft keyway or
gear, producing a pulse train (not necessarily 1x machine speed)
representing the machine phase and running speed.
A final class of inputs are digital inputs which represent machine
states, such as running, off, starting, etc. These inputs are used to
control or modify the data acquisition state. Common state control
inputs are relay closures or machine RPM. AC or DC signal levels can
also be used for state control.

To install a module, line up the guide rails and push the module into
the slot until fully seated, then tighten the mounting screws.
To remove a 6U high module, loosen the mounting screws, push
outward on the handles as shown to eject the module from the
backplane connectors, then pull from the slot by the handle.
Monitoring Methods
The 6560 uses three basic data monitoring methods.
Overall Level Monitoring

Overall Level Monitoring is defined as (1) the acquisition of the
overall level of the dynamic AC vibration signal, typically the RMS
value of the signal, and/or (2) the DC sensor bias level, or (3)
measurement of a DC process signal. All these signal inputs are DC
values (the RMS value is a DC value proportional to the overall
34
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
energy content of the AC signal). The Overall Level inputs are

multiplexed into a fast successive approximation ADC controlled by
the 6560. Overall Level Monitoring is a continuous process, with all
input channels AC+DC measured twice every second. When the
Transient option is included, true waveform peak-to-peak may be
included in Overall Level Monitoring.
Spectral Scan
Spectral Scan is defined as the acquisition and analysis of dynamic
AC signals only. The signals are acquired, two channels at a time
(referred to as CHX and CHY), with a dual channel delta-sigma ADC
controlled by the system DSP. The DSP performs analysis of the
acquired time waveforms and transmits the results to the CPU host
processor. Pre-programmed groups of Spectral Scan measurement
parameters (AP Sets) may be assigned to specific machine state
conditions to tailor data acquisition to specific machine operational
states.
Transient Data Capture

Transient data capture is the acquisition of continuous time
waveforms of dynamic AC signals. Transient data is captured in
parallel for all channels. Other data stored as Transient data include
once per second Overall Level data, tach pulse records, and
acquisition timestamps. The Transient data is stored on hard disk,
and is available for real-time analysis via Ethernet.
Configuration
The CSI 2600MS has a 6560 Processor module, and one or two 6510
Signal Input modules.
The CSI 2600TS has a 6560 Processor module with a Transient
Daughterboard, and one or two 6510 Signal Input modules with
Transient Filter Boards.
35
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Processor Module
The 6560 provides all data acquisition, data storage, and data
communications functions for the CSI 2600 system. The 6560 is
capable of simultaneous, continuous measurement of detailed
Spectral analysis on two channels, RMS and DC values for Gross Scan
measurements on all signal channels, machine speed measurement
on all tachometer channels, and the states of all digital inputs.
The 6560 provides all data acquisition, data storage, and data
communications functions for the CSI 2600 system. The 6560 is
capable of up to 24 simultaneous and continuous waveform
measurements (for detailed Spectral analysis), up to 24 RMS and DC
values for Gross Scan measurements, up to 4 tachometers for
machine speed measurement, and up to 4 digital state inputs.
Gross Scan values, tachometer values, and digital input states may
be combined logically to determine machine operating state, which
may be used to define specific data acquisition states. The system
can be configured to transmit and store data on either time interval
or based on the amount of change of the data values.
Two 100Base-T Ethernet ports and one RS-232 serial port are
provided for system communications and diagnostics. Additional
connections are available for the calibration signal and a dry contact
SPDT "Sysfail" relay. (See diagram of backplane.) This relay is
energized when the Processor CPU successfully boots. On a CPU
failure or power loss, the relay will de-energize.

Signal Input Module

The 6510 Signal Input module combines the features of Signal
Input, Tachometer Input, and I/O Relays to allow a combination of
sensor and relay types in one module.
The 6510 provides 12 channels of vibration or process sensor inputs,
2 channels of tachometer sensor inputs, and 2 optically-isolated I/O
relay channels.
Vibration Signal Inputs

The vibration sensor types include accelerometer, passive velocity,
active velocity, and displacement. The Signal Input module will also
accept non-specific AC or DC inputs from any source that conforms
to the CSI 2600 input range limits.
The vibration inputs provide the following programmable functions
for each channel: Input Attenuator /1, /2, Gain x1, x10, integrator
on/off. The combination of input attenuator and gain setting
provide four input range combinations as shown in the table Signal
Input Module Input Ranges.
Table 3: Signal Input Module Input Ranges
Attenuator Gain Input Range +/-

/2 x1 10.0 V, 100 g, 100 ips, 50 mil
/1 x1 5.0 V, 50 g, 50 ips, 25 mil
/2 x10 1.0 V, 10 g, 50 ips, 5 mil
/1 x10 0.5 V, 5 g, 5 ips, 2.5 mil
The integrator allows acceleration signals to be converted to

velocity.
The 6510 Signal Input module selects 2 of the 12 vibration channels
at a time and routes them to the Processor module for Spectral
analysis. RMS-to-DC conversion is performed on all 12 channels. The
RMS and DC signals are routed to the Processor module for Overall
Level collection.
41
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
The Transient Filter Board is required for Transient data acquisition.

4-20 mA signals may be measured provided a resistor is added
across the channel input. A typical value is 250 ohms, which
converts 4-20 mA to 1-5 V. Maximum series resistor value is 1000
ohms.
Tachometer Inputs
The Tachometer inputs allow measurement of two pulse
tachometer sources per 6510 Signal Input module. Tachometer
sensor types may include, but are not limited to: active
displacement sensor, passive magnetic, or TTL pulse type from
various sources.
The Tachometer Input module features either fixed voltage trigger
or “adaptive” automatic triggering. Triggering parameters may be
set independently for each tachometer sensor input.
An input gain selection of x1 or x5 may be selected for each channel.
A gain of x5 is recommended for tachometer inputs smaller than 1 V
pk-pk. If the x5 input gain is used, care should be taken to make sure
that the input signal remains within +/-24 V, including any sensor
bias or gap voltage.
I/O Relay Channels

Each 6510 Signal Input module has two I/O Relay channels that
provide optically isolated digital inputs or dry contact outputs.
Inputs can be between 5 V and 24 VDC. Outputs are limited to 24
VDC @ 0.5A.
Note
AC relays are not provided.

Each I/O Relay channel on the 6510 Signal Input module contains
both input and output hardware. The relays are configurable as
either input or output relays, with a DIP switch (SWI) on the circuit
board. A relay channel that is configured in software cannot be
utilized unless the corresponding DIP switch is set to the correct
position. The firmware will detect the DIP switch state at startup
and generates a flag in the HyperTerminal session if the software
45
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
configuration does not match the DIP switch setting. The DIP
switches are used to protect a user input device from inadvertently
being shorted by a relay output configuration. Set the
corresponding DIP switch to the “ON” position for output relays,
and to the “OFF” position for input relays. The factory default state
of the DIP switches is OFF (Input). DIP switch 1 is for the first relay
channel and DIP switch 2 is for the second relay channel.
The shelf state of the output relays is normally open, meaning that
when they are open the power is disconnected. During operation of
the unit, the relays are closed until activated by an alarm, then they
open.
Transient Daughterboard
The Transient Daughterboard adds the capability for parallel,
continuous time waveform acquisition on all channels. All collected
time waveform data, along with Overall Level data and up to four
tachometer pulse records is stored on an internal hard drive, which
provides approximately 80 minutes per GB of storage.
The Transient Daughterboard can also stream data via Ethernet to
analysis applications in near real time, without affecting data
collection or on-board data storage.
While collecting time waveforms and tachometer pulses, the
Transient Daughterboard continuously calculates the peak-to-peak
value of each channel's waveform. When configured, this value may
be sent to the 6560 Processor module for use as the overall level
instead of the RMS value produced by the 6510 Signal Input
module.
The hard drive used on the Transient Daughterboard is specially
rated for 24/7 operation. It is recommended that this drive be
replaced on a yearly basis of continuous use. In emergencies, any 2-
1/2 inch parallel IDE drive may be used temporarily, but these drives
are not generally rated for continuous operation.
When installing the Transient Daughterboard on the 6560 Processor
module, make sure all five mating connectors are fully engaged, and
then install all six mounting screws.

Replace the Transient Daughterboard Hard Drive

1. Remove the four hard drive mounting screws as shown in the
above photo.
2. Gently remove the hard drive ribbon cable from the hard drive
and remove the old hard drive.
3. Install the new hard drive in the bracket. Do not over tighten
the screws.
49
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
4. Replace the ribbon cable, taking care that it is correctly lined

up.
Format the Hard Drive using the Transient Daughterboard

Before the new hard drive can be used, it must first be formatted by
the Transient Daughterboard. Apply power to the CSI 2600 system.
Ignore any hard drive error messages produced by the Transient
Daughterboard on the HyperTerminal monitor. When the CSI 2600
System has booted, use the DHM_III program (located in the
C:\inetpub\ftproot\bin\Tools directory) to format the hard drive:
1. Launch DHM_III.exe
2. Select the “Transient”menu
3. Click the “Format Hard Drive” option
When the drive has been formatted, reboot the CSI 2600. Again,
ignore any hard drive error messages produced by the Transient
Daughterboard on the HyperTerminal monitor. When the POST
process is complete, the firmware will automatically prepare the
hard drive with the Transient File System. This process may take up
to an hour. When this process is complete, reboot the CSI 2600. The
boot process should now complete normally, with no hard drive
error messages, and, if configured, Transient data collection should
begin (indicated by a flashing hard drive indicator on the Processor
front panel).
Note
Emerson provides an industrial rated HDD, capable of 100% duty cycle. Emerson
recommends that an equivalent replacement HDD be utilized.
Transient Filter Board

The Transient Filter Board provides parallel anti-aliasing filters for the
signal channels on the Signal Input module. Either one or two
50

Configuring a CSI 2600 with HyperTerminal
Connecting
Using a standard serial cable make a connection from the serial port
on your PC to the serial port on the Processor front panel.
52
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Configure HyperTerminal on your PC to use the serial port (typically

COM 1) with the following settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no flow control
Turn power on to the CSI 2600. From here, you can watch the boot
process. You may interrupt boot by pressing the “Space” bar after
the VxWorks copyright is displayed as shown below. By the time
“Press any key to stop auto-boot…” is displayed, most of the time
allotted for pressing a key has passed. Interrupting the boot process
will allow the configuration of boot specific parameters.

Transient console redirect

If the Transient system has the 0x0400 boot flag set, its I/O text
output is redirected to COM1 on the front of the 6560 Processor
module, and
• No output will be seen when connected to the internal COM2
port on the Transient circuit board.
• Pressing CTRL-B will switch between the Main Processor and
Transient output on the COM1 HyperTerminal session.
55

Explanation of the Main Processor and Transient boot

flags
0x0001 - skip SDRAM testing on cold boot (for testing)
0x0002 - load local system symbols (for debug)
0x0004 - don't autoboot (for testing)
0x0008 - quick autoboot (no countdown)
0x0010 - disable input from shell
57
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
0x0020 - disable login security

0x0040 - use bootp to get boot parameters (network boot only)
0x0080 - use tftp to get boot image (network boot only)
0x0100 - use proxy arp (network boot only)
0x0200 - ignore BOOTROM update image in FLASH (for testing)
0X0400 - change Ethernet speed from 100 Mbps to 10 Mbps (Main
Processor only)
0x0400 - redirect the console I/O to COM1 (Transient only)
0x0800 - disable boot file update in FLASH (for development)
0x0800 - boot over a WAN, requiring extended FTP timeouts
The 0x0800 flag applies only if one of the three flags below is set:
0x1000 - attempt network, fallback on FLASH boot (legacy 4500
mode)
0x2000 - boot ALWAYS from network, never fallback on FLASH
0x4000 - boot ONCE from network. This flag clears itself after one
boot
The system will normally try to get boot parameters, boot image,
and startup script first from FLASH. If the FLASH boot fails, the
system will revert to a network boot as a backup. The 0x1000,
0x2000, and 0x8000 flags modify this default behavior (listed with
highest precedence first).

General boot flag notes

For the Main Processor, and Transient systems, boot flags can be
listed by typing a question mark (?) into the HyperTerminal at the
vxWorks boot prompt.
For Transient systems, if redirect is used, do not connect internal
transient board com port to PC since all output will be directed to
the external com port.
Subnet masks
A subnet mask is normally represented in Windows as a series of four
decimal numbers, each of which can have a value from 0 to 255,
separated by periods (e.g., 255.255.248.0).
In the 6560 Processor module, the subnet mask is represented as a
series of four hexadecimal pairs with no separators (that is,
255.255.248.0 is represented as fffff800). A hexadecimal
conversion table can be used to convert the subnet mask numbers
from decimal to hexadecimal. The calculator in the Windows'
Accessories folder will also perform this conversion when it is set to
the scientific mode.
The subnet mask on a 6560 Processor module defaults to
255.255.255.0 (ffffff00). When configuring the 6560 Processor
module, the subnet mask should be set to match the subnet mask
used on the server PC. If they do not match, network
communication failure is possible. To specify a subnet mask, enter it
on the configuration labeled "inet on ethernet." The IP address of the
unit should be entered first, followed by a colon and then the subnet
mask in the hexadecimal format.
Processor Module LEDs

The 6560 Processor module has seven (7) two-color LEDs. From top
to bottom these are: Input Power, CPU Status, Transient Status,
System Status, Server Connect, Modbus Connect, and Hard Drive
Active.
59
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Figure 20. Processor Module LEDs
Input Power
The Input Power LED indicates the status of the power converters
that distribute various voltages within the 6560 Processor module.
A steady green color indicates that all power converters are within
the proper voltage ranges, while a steady or blinking red condition
indicates a power fault somewhere inside the 6560 Processor
module.
60
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
CPU Status
The CPU Status LED indicates the status of the Main Processor
board. The four (4) status conditions are listed in Table 6 along with
their assigned priorities.
Note
It is possible for more than one status condition to be active at one time. When
this happens, the LED will indicate the active status condition with the highest
priority. For example, if the module is both “Uncalibrated” (3) and is also
currently “Performing POST” (1), the LED would indicate “Performing POST.”
Additionally, if the module is both “Uncalibrated” (3) and in “Failure” (2) then
the LED will indicate the “Failure.”
Table 6: CPU Module LED Status
LED Color Status Priority Comments

Blinking Green In POST 1 Typically only seen during system
startup. Indicates that POST (Power
On Self Test) is being performed,
which involves Processor board
resources.
Solid Red Failure 2 Failures include: Power supply POST

failure, or other hardware failure on
processor board.
Alternating Red/Green Uncalibrated 3 The onboard Test Function generator

is uncalibrated.
Solid Green OK 4 Normal Operation.
Transient Status
The Transient Status LED indicates the status of the Transient
Daughter Board. The LED is always off when a Transient board is not
installed in the system. The four (4) Transient board status
61
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
conditions are listed below along with their assigned priorities. It is

possible for more than one status condition to be active at one time.
When this happens, the LED will indicate the active status condition
with the highest priority.
Table 7: Transient Board LED Status

resources.

processor board.
Alternating Red/Green Uncalibrated 3 One or more Transient channels are

uncalibrated.
System Status
The System Status LED indicates the status of the overall system. It
reflects the worst case state of all boards in the system. For
example, if the Test Function generator on the Main Processor board
is uncalibrated, and the first MSIG module has a power fault, then
the LED will show a solid red color to indicate the worst case of these
two which is a “Failure” state.
When all the firmware components are operating as expected, this
LED overlays a “heartbeat” pulse pattern on top of the system
status. The heartbeat pattern occurs in a 4-count cycle. The LED is
pulsed off briefly during each of the first and second counts, and
then left on during the 3rd and 4th counts. In practice, it gives the
appearance of a human heartbeat. If the heartbeat stops, it
indicates a firmware fault has occurred. Many times the system is
capable of recovering from a missed heartbeat. However, if the
62
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
system cannot recover quickly it will automatically reboot itself to

clear up the fault and then it will resume monitoring.
Server Connect
The Server Connect LED indicates when Machinery Health Manager
software or the DHM diagnostic software are connected. A green
color indicates that at least one Machinery Health Manager software
client is connected or that the DHM software is connected in the
client mode. A red color indicates the DHM software is connected in
the Single User mode. In this state, no other clients can connect. If
the LED is OFF it indicates that none of these types of software
clients are connected. There is no indication of client data transfer,
only the presence of at least one established connection.
Modbus Connect
The Modbus Connect LED indicates when a Modbus client, Web
Browser, or Transient Live client are connected. A green color
indicates that at least one of these types of clients has established a
connection. If the LED is OFF it indicates that none of these types of
clients are connected. There is no indication of client data transfer,
only the presence of at least one established connection. The red
color is not used with this LED.
Hard Drive Active

The Hard Drive Active LED indicates when the onboard Transient
Hard Drive is being accessed with read/write activity. The green LED
blinks on each time a read or write activity accesses the Transient
hard drive. The more time the LED is green, the more hard drive
activity. This LED is always off if there is no Transient board installed
in the system.
63
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Signal Input module LEDs

Every 6510 Signal Input module has two (2), two-color LEDs. The
top LED indicates the power converter status and the bottom LED
indicates overall module status.
Figure 21. Signal Input module LEDs
Power LED
The Power LED indicates the status of the MSIG module power
converters. A steady green color indicates that all voltage levels are
OK, while a steady or blinking red condition indicates a power fault
somewhere within the module.
64
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Status LED
The Status LED indicates the overall status of the module. The four
(4) module status conditions are listed in Table 8 along with their
assigned priorities.
Note
It is possible for more than one status condition to be active at one time. When
this happens, the LED will indicate the active status condition with the highest
priority.
If the Status LED is off entirely, it indicates that this module is being
ignored by the 6560 Processor module. This is a special case which
should not be encountered in practice. Modules are only ignored if
the addition of the module would exceed the maximum channel
count limits that the 6560 Processor module can support (24
analog, 4 Tach, 4 I/O) as channels are counted starting in the left
most slot and working toward the right.

Data types
Overall Level Parameters
All Overall Level inputs must be DC in nature. Any Overall Level input
of a dynamic nature must be fed through the RMS / DC converter
path. It is not technically valid to convert RMS values from an
RMS/DC converter to pk or pk-pk Measurement Units unless the
input is sinusoidal in nature. However, the CSI 2600 allows this. RMS
values are multiplied by 1.414 or 2.828 to convert from RMS to pk
and pk-pk, respectively.
Spectral Scan Parameters
All Spectral Scan Parameters must be AC in nature. It is possible to
convert some analysis type results between Measurement Unit
types and Display Unit types.
Analysis Type: Overall Level
Includes Overall RMS Level, Sensor DC Bias, Gap, DC, or AC Process
signals.
Note
Some DC Process Inputs could provide pk, pk-pk, or other Measurement Units.

CSI 2600 system calibration

The CSI 2600 system calibration consists of two steps:
1. Calibrate the on board signal generator.
2. Calibrate the system.
The Processor Module signal generator should be recalibrated at

least once a year.
The CSI 2600 should be recalibrated at least once a year, or if the
processor or a signal input module has been replaced.
Calibrating the CSI 2600

The CSI 2600 uses internal calibration tables to compensate for
slight measurement variations that can occur across the
temperature, voltage ranges, and variations in individual electronic
components used by processing circuitry. These calibration tables
are stored in each CSI 2600 when it is assembled and verified at the
factory. The units apply calibration corrections automatically during
signal measurement and processing.
The Main Processor module

Four circuits are calibrated. These are:
• Test Signal Generator (TSG)
• Gross Scan (GS)
• Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
• Transient
A key element is the TSG circuit. This circuit provides an extremely
precise output signal, which is used as an input during GS, DSP,
71
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Tachometer, and Transient Calibrations. During calibrations, the

TSG output is routed internally in the 6560 Processor Module, to
processing electronics (GS, DSP, Tach, Transient), and individual
calibration tables for each processing circuit are created and stored
in the 6560 Processor Module memory. These tables are stored in
non-volatile memory, which means that the tables are not erased if
the 6560 Processor Module is powered down. Calibration circuit
inputs and outputs are shown in the table, Calibration Circuit Inputs
and Outputs:
Table 12: Calibration Circuit Inputs and Outputs
Calibration Circuit Input Output
TSG (Test Signal Generator) (external) signal TSG table (internal) TSG signal
GS (Gross Scan) TSG signal GS table
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) TSG signal DSP table
Transient TSG signal Transient table
The TSG circuit provides an output signal, which is used to create all
of the other calibration tables. The TSG circuit has its own
calibration table, stored in the CPU board. If a CPU board is replaced,
then the other calibrations need to be rerun for that 6560 Processor
Module, since their (original) calibration tables used the TSG signal
from the original CPU board.
Calibration tables may be copied from each 6560 Processor Module
onto an online server, and those can be downloaded into the same
6560 Processor Module. Emerson Online Product Support
personnel, and Online Systems Engineers, can assist customers with
this type of operation.
Should it be desirable or necessary to recalibrate an installed
system, it is recommended that this be accomplished with the
support of the local Emerson Online Product Support office, and
that it be scheduled during an equipment outage. Calibrations can
be accomplished in less than an hour (per CSI 2600), but during that
time, the units cannot be monitoring rotating equipment.
72
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Test Signal Generator calibration

All CPU boards provided by Emerson are shipped with a calibrated
TSG circuit. If the CPU board is purchased as part of a system (that is,
the initial shipment), the entire system is calibrated, using the CPU
board TSG circuit.
The TSG circuit is the only element which requires an external piece
of test equipment, and special connection cables. TSG calibration
requires:
• Digital Multi Meter (such as the HP 34401A)
• Laptop configured as online server
• Special calibration utility program (DHM)
• Cable which connects the laptop to the 6560 Processor
Module Ethernet port
• Cable which connects the laptop to the Digital Multi Meter
• Cable which connects the Digital Multi Meter to the test port
on the CSI 2600
TSG calibration is unique in that it requires a separate test
instrument, unique cables, and a laptop which is configured as an
online server. It is recommended that TSG calibration or
recalibration be performed by qualified Emerson Online Systems
Engineers.
Gross Scan (GS) calibration

GS calibration:
• uses a 6560 Processor module's TSG output signal.
• does not require that any wire harnesses be disconnected.
• is completed in about 10 minutes (per CSI 2600).
• does not require any special cables or test equipment.
• uses a special calibration utility program (DHM).
73
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
GS recalibration should be performed:

• annually.
• whenever a 6510 Signal Input module is replaced.
• whenever a 6560 Processor module is replaced.
• if calibration table has a status of "Unknown."
Product Support personnel, can guide a plant engineer or technician
through GS calibration over the phone.
DSP calibration
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) calibration:
• uses a CPU board's TSG output signal.
• is completed in about 30-40 minutes (per CSI 2600).
DSP recalibration should be performed:

• annually.
• whenever a 6510 Signal Input module is replaced.
• whenever a 6560 Processor module is replaced.
• if calibration table has a status of “Unknown.”
Product Support personnel can guide a plant engineer or technician
through DSP calibration over the phone.
Transient calibration
The CSI 2600T includes two processing boards; a Main Processor
board and a Transient board. Both boards include separate Digital
Signal Processors. The DSP on the Transient board uses an internal
74
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
calibration table, in much the same way that the Main Processor DSP
circuit does. However, it is calibrated separately, it is not calibrated
as part of a DSP calibration for a Main Processor.
Transient calibration:
• uses a Processor module's TSG output signal.
• is completed in about 30-40 minutes (per CSI 2600T).
• should be performed:
- annually
- whenever a 6510 Signal Input module is replaced
- whenever a Transient board is replaced
- whenever a Main Processor board is replaced
- if calibration table has a status of “Unknown.”
Product Support personnel can guide a plant engineer or technician
through Transient calibration over the phone.
Online server
A laptop is a computer which has been configured to include:
• Four background services.
• Modification to default operating system local security
policies.
• CSI 2600 firmware (two files), loaded at a specific directory
location.
• AMS Machinery Manager online and transient software
modules.
75

• Network connection, with addresses expected by CSI 2600.

An analyst will normally interact with the laptop through AMS
Machinery Manager software interfaces. This is described in
Emerson Machinery Health Manager manuals and training courses.
Other laptop operations are described in this section, and in Chapter
4 of this manual.
When a laptop is purchased from Emerson, it will have four
background services installed, configured, and initialized. System
O/S policies will have been modified to permit data movement and
control required by AMS Machinery Manager software. Software
and firmware will be loaded, the network connection will be
initialized.
During the product life of a CSI 2600 system, an analyst will
periodically need to:
• load new firmware.
• update AMS Machinery Manager software.
• change the network connection.
Firmware is installed in directory “C:\Inetpub\ftproot\bin.” Each
time a CSI 2600 powers up, it scans its network connection (looking
for the laptop address which matches an address stored in internal
CSI 2600 memory), and then for firmware at this directory location.
If firmware is found, its version is read and compared to a copy of
firmware stored in internal CSI 2600 memory. If the firmware is the
same revision, then the CSI 2600 boots from its internal copy. If it
has a different revision, then the CSI 2600 downloads newer
firmware, boots using it, and stores a copy of this newer firmware in
internal memory.
This means that when new firmware is loaded onto a laptop:
• It must be loaded at directory “C:\Inetpub\ftproot\bin\,” and
• The CSI 2600 must be rebooted to cause it to detect and use
the new firmware.
It is likely that a CSI 2600 server will be multi-purpose, and may be
connected to a customer internal LAN, even for non-online usages. If
this occurs, the Ethernet address assigned to the computer Ethernet
76
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
port, will need to be changed. Therefore, an analyst needs to know

how to change an address, and return it to the address expected by
a CSI 2600.
Computer network port addresses are assigned using the “Control
Panel” and “Network Connections” facility. Changing addresses
involves the following sequence:
1. Select “Control Panel”
2. Select “Network Connections”
3. Select the Ethernet port
4. Select “Properties”
5. Scroll down in the text window at the center of the “Local Area
Connection Properties” pop-up screen, and select “Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)”
6. Click the “Properties” button
7. Change IP address

Figure 26. IP Address value
It is expected that the laptop will sometimes be connected to an

existing plant / mill LAN. Existing LANs normally assign, dynamically,
addresses to devices on the network. To permit this, click the
“Obtain an IP address automatically” radio button shown in the IP
Address value screen.
However, when connecting the laptop to the CSI 2600, it needs to
have the address which the CSI 2600 expects, that is, it must match
the server address stored in CSI 2600 memory. For the “Obtain an IP
address automatically” example, the CSI 2600 expects its online
server to have an address of 192.168.0.1. To set this address in the
laptop, perform the steps described above, and select “Use the
79
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
following IP address” button in the last step. Then enter the IP

address and appropriate subnet mask, as shown above.
Establish a HyperTerminal connection as described in Configuring a
CSI 2600 with HyperTerminal earlier in this chapter to determine (or
change) the laptop’s configured IP address.

3 Operating the CSI 2600

Introduction
The heart of a CSI 2600 system is a database. Database construction
is described in other AMS Machinery Manager manuals, and is
taught during an Emerson online training course.
This section identifies steps and sequences of steps, which are
particularly important during CSI 2600 operation. Three
fundamental system characteristics need to be understood, when
using the CSI 2600 system.
The CSI 2600 is a network-based system. The CSI 2600 monitoring
unit communicates with a server, through an Ethernet connection.
Both must have addresses, known to each other, for successful
communication to take place. The addresses can be changed, but
the laptop must “know” address of its CSI 2600, and the CSI 2600
must “know” the address of its laptop.
The CSI 2600 is a continuous monitoring system. It is always
recording transient information that remains in the CSI 2600
system and can be manually extracted, or will be extracted based
on a preconfigured transient event.
And the CSI 2600 is a portable monitoring system. It can be moved
from one set of signal connections to another.
Definitions and terms

Several terms will be used to describe CSI 2600 operation, some of
which are unique to the Emerson system. These include:
Archive: A folder which includes several files (one per
“transient” channel, one per transient
tachometer). There are two types of “archives;”
manually created, and automatically created. In
both cases, the archive is a folder which is
collected from measurements on a CSI 2600
81
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
HDD, and sent to the online server.

Archive predicate: A collection predicate used to trigger automatic
creation of an archive. Automatically created
archives are sent to the online server, without
any operator / analyst actions.
Bearing clearance: The difference in diameters, between the inner
surface of a bearing, and the outer surface of a
shaft. This is the distance a shaft may move,
without rubbing against the bearing surface.
Extract: To move transient measurements from one
location to another. First (starting) location may
be the CSI 2600 HDD, or an archive (information
from one archive may be extracted into a
second, usually smaller, archive).
Hard Disk Drive: The disk drive used to store transient
waveforms. This is not the same HDD as the one
mounted inside the online server. The HDD will
eventually overwrite the oldest measurements.
CSI 2600 system may be configured with two
HDDs; a primary drive, and a failover drive. At
least one of these is external to the CSI 2600
monitoring unit.
Resting DC Voltage: Voltage measurement taken from a proximity
probe, when a shaft is at rest (against bearing
surface). This corresponds to an initial shaft
position, and is used to create shaft centerline
plots.
Transient channel: A monitored input, which has been designated
for both “normal” and “transient” data
collection. Measurements and operation are
simultaneous. “Normal” signal measurements
are stored in a database on the online server
(“.rbm” file). Transient archives are stored in a
directory (archives) on the online server.
82
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Verify network addresses

Network addresses of both Ethernet connections should be verified.
Establish a HyperTerminal connection to the CSI 2600 to determine
what IP addresses are stored in the unit. This sequence was
described in Chapter 2 of this manual and is listed below:
1. Connect to the CSI 2600 via HyperTerminal.
2. Type the command “bootChange” (this is case sensitive; all

lower case letters except for the “C” in Change).
3. Use the Enter key to advance down the list of parameters until
“inet on ethernet” comes into view. This is where the IP
address for the CSI 2600 is shown.
4. The next parameter is called “host inet.” This is where the IP

address of the firmware host (laptop) is shown.
Verify network address of online server

The network address of the online server may be verified by the
following sequence:
1. Select “Control Panel.”
2. Select “Network Connections.”
3. Select the Ethernet port which is used to communicate with

the CSI 2600 monitoring unit.
4. Select “Properties.”
5. In the “Properties” screen, scroll down to “Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP),” and then click the “Properties” button.
Verify or edit IP addresses

The online database must “know” the IP addresses of assigned
monitoring units (CSI 2600s). To verify or edit addresses assigned to
a CSI 2600 database, perform the following sequence of steps:
83
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
1. Log into Machinery Health Manager software using an

Administrator account.
2. Locate the RBM Network Administration Icon, and

click on it.
3. In the RBM Network Administration screen, select

the “Online Server” listed in the bottom center panel.
Figure 27. RBM Network Administration Screen
4. If the system is configured to store data into a database, the

database will be listed, the two “Edit” buttons will be grayed-
out, and the bottom left button will be labeled “Stop Data
Collection.” In the center panel, CSI 2600 addresses are listed.
84
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
These are the units which are available for the online server.
The IP address of the CSI 2600 CPU board should be listed in
this panel.
Figure 28. Online Server Setup window
Add CSI 2600 addresses to the laptop

To change the IP address of the laptop, use the Control Panel >
Network Connections> … sequence described earlier. To add a CSI
2600 IP address to the online server configuration, use the
sequence described above, with the following additional steps:
5. Click the “Stop Data Collection” button. The button label will
change to “Start Data Collection,” and while the system is
stopped, online server setup can be changed. Click the “Edit”
button beside the “Active Units” panel.
6. In the “Online Server’s Active Unit List” screen, type the IP

address of a (new) CSI 2600 in the “New Unit” field.
7. Click the “Add New” button.
8. Click the “OK” button.
85
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
9. In the “Online Server Setup” window, click the “Start Data

Collection” button.
Once a CSI 2600 IP address is listed in “RBM Network

Administration,” that address may be used for any existing or future
database built with the online server. This task does not need to be
performed each time a new database is built.
Figure 29. Online Server Active Units screen
Change network addresses in the CSI 2600

via HyperTerminal
1. Attach a standard RS232 cable between the laptop serial port
and the CSI 2600 9-pin front connector to change IP addresses
stored in the CSI 2600. The cable will need a male/plug
connector on one end, and a female/receptacle connector on
the other (CSI 2600) end. This cable has been included with
your accessories.
86
MHM-97453.0 March 2011

2. Configure the online server serial port as follows:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No flow control
3. Connect the serial cable to both the CSI 2600 9-pin

connection and the laptop.
4. From the Windows Start menu, select Programs> Accessories

> Communications> HyperTerminal, as shown in Figure 31,
HyperTerminal utility.

87
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
When connected to a CSI 2600, an analyst will use five commands or

key strokes to interact with the boot settings stored in each
processing board (CPU, Transient). These are:
• bootChange - (case sensitive). This will cause the boot
parameters for the specific circuit board to be listed, one at a
time. To change a parameter, type the new value beside the
stored value.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to backspace\delete the stored parameters.
• Ctrl-B - (Hold down the Ctrl key and press the B key). This will
toggle from one board to the other (if serial port is connected
to CPU board, it will toggle to the Transient board).
• Ctrl-T - This will cause the board to display an identifier (tell
you the board with which you are communicating).
• reboot - (case sensitive, all lower case). This will cause the
board to reboot, using new boot settings.
• . - the period key. Type a period at the end of a stored value, to
clear this value.
Important rules when changing boot

parameters
Rule 1: No boot parameters take effect until the unit is
rebooted.
Rule 2: Do not attempt to delete stored values. Type a new
value beside the stored value.
Rule 3: Only change the IP address values. Do not change FTP
password, boot file name, flags, etc. If a unit boots up with
incorrect values, the system will probably not operate and in
some cases, the unit may need to be returned to Emerson.
Rule 4: In most cases, changes will need to be made to both
processing boards. Both the CPU and Transient boards will
need to be updated. They have separate boot parameters,
88
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
changing one set does not change the other.

Rule 5: Review changes, before using the reboot command.
Rule 6: If network addresses are changed, update any
drawings or documents which use the old addresses.
Change IP addresses stored in the CSI 2600

1. Write down the IP addresses which need to be changed.
Normally this will be either the online server address, or the
CPU address.
2. Connect to the CSI 2600 and start a HyperTerminal session.
3. Type the command “bootChange” (this is case-sensitive; all

4. Use the “Enter” key to advance down the list of parameters,

until “inet on ethernet (e): 192.168.0.10” or other parameter
to be changed is in view.
5. Type the new parameter value beside the old value.
6. Use the “Enter” key to advance through the list of parameters.
Figure 32. Example CSI 2600 CPU board settings
7. At the command prompt, type Ctrl-B (hold “Ctrl” key down,

press the “B” key) to toggle to the other circuit board and
then type “bootChange” again.
89
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
8. Use the “Enter” key to advance through the list of parameters

on the other circuit board, making changes as necessary.
9. Press the “Enter” key until at the end of the parameter list.
10. On the second board, type the command “bootChange” a

second time, press the “Enter” key to review settings.
Figure 33. Example Transient board boot settings
11. Type Ctrl-B (hold “Ctrl” key down, press the “B” key) to switch
to the other (first) circuit board.
12. Type “bootChange” a second time, review boot settings on

the first board.
When settings have been changed, type the command reboot to

cause the CSI 2600 to boot up using the new settings. Disconnect
and store the serial cable.
Changing network addresses in the CSI

2600 via Telnet
There is a second way to change boot parameters which are stored
in the CSI 2600. To use this method, the CSI 2600 and online server
must already be able to communicate. This method does not use a
serial connection to the CSI 2600, rather it uses an Ethernet
connection between the server and CSI 2600. There are two major
differences between a “Telnet” access, and serial port access with
the CSI 2600.
90
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
• Telnet access is to one circuit board only (CPU or Transient).

With HyperTerminal, an analyst may “toggle” between the
two circuit boards. With Telnet, an analyst must individually
access each circuit board.
• Analyst must “log onto” the board using a name and
password with Telnet, but not with HyperTerminal.
The user name and password are csi and csiSupport. Both are case
sensitive. A Telnet sequence is as follows:
1. Determine the present IP addresses of both CSI 2600 circuit
boards. For this example, a CSI 2600 with addresses of
192.168.0.10 (CPU) and 192.168.0.11 (Transient) was used.
2. Select “Run” from the server Start Menu, and type the
command “telnet” followed by the IP address of the circuit
board.
Figure 34. Telnet to CSI 2600 CPU board that has address 192.168.0.10
3. Click the “OK” button on the “Run” window.
4. Type “csi” at the login prompt, and “csiSupport” at the

Password prompt.
Figure 35. Telnet login
5. Type the command “bootChange” (case sensitive). Scroll

through the existing boot parameters using the “Enter” key,
change values as necessary.
91
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
6. Type the command “bootChange” a second time, review

settings.
7. Type “exit” or close the Telnet window when you are done.
New boot settings will not take effect yet, not until the CSI
2600 is rebooted.
Figure 36. Example CSI 2600 CPU board boot settings
8. Select “Run” from the server Start Menu, and open a Telnet
session with the other circuit board. Make changes as
necessary, review changes, close the Telnet window.
9. Reboot the CSI 2600. Either toggle the power on and off, or
Telnet to the CPU board and type the command “reboot.”
Note
While the CSI 2600 is rebooting, it will not initially respond to a Telnet
command. Internal memory and processors must be initialized (late in the boot
sequence) before the system will respond to Ethernet commands (that is,
Telnet, reboot, bootChange).
Description of boot parameters

The CSI 2600 boot parameters are stored in non-volatile memory
(memory that keeps its contents even when power is removed).
92
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Parameters for a CSI 2600 system are shown in the figure, CSI 2600
CPU board boot parameters, and explained as follows.
Figure 37. CSI 2600 CPU board boot parameters
Item 1 is the boot device and processor number.
WARNING!
Only the IP addresses should be change. If the other values are changed,
the unit will not successfully boot.
The “host name” is normally the name assigned to the online server
in RBM Network Administration.
Item 2 is the boot file name. The CPU and transient boards use
different boot files. These files are stored on the online server at
directory “C:\Inetpub\ftproot\bin.” When the CSI 2600 boots up, it
will search for the server, and in directory “C:\Inetpub\ftproot,” it
will look for subdirectory “bin,” and then the boot files within that
subdirectory.
Item 3 is the IP address of this circuit board (CPU board in this
example). This address must be listed in Machinery Health Manager
“RBM Network Administration,” “Online Server Setup,” to make the
unit available for databases.
Item 4 is the IP address of the server. This address is stored in
memory in both the CPU board, and in the Transient board. If the
93
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
server address is changed, then both this boot parameter must be

updated in both boards.
Item 5 (user, ftp password) is the file transfer name and password
that the CSI 2600 will use when downloading firmware from the
server into the CSI 2600.
Item 6 is a specific set of “flags,” which should not need to be
changed.
The CSI 2600 database

The process of building an online database is described in manual
part number MHM-97460, and in the Emerson Online monitoring
product course.
Before building a CSI 2600 database

CSI 2600 applications will normally need the following information,
while building a database:
• Sensors connected to each CSI 2600 signal channel;
sensitivity, offset (proximity probes, thrust probes), signal
range.
• Source of sensor power for accelerometers.
• Definition of the transient event; speed drops below 3585,
input relay from external control system changes state, etc.
• Sensors for which transient measurements are desired.
• IP address of CSI 2600(s).
• Bearing clearances (radial proximity probes).
• Resting DC voltage measurements for radially mounted
proximity probes.
This series of tasks is different for a CSI 2600 application, than for
other online monitoring applications. In most cases, the CSI 2600 is
not connected directly to sensors (proximity probe drivers,
accelerometers, etc.). Rather, it is connected via coax cable with
94
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
BNC terminations to a panel of monitoring modules. These

modules are connected to field wiring.
Figure 38. CSI 2600 Module Outputs, Sensor Outputs
Therefore, one of the most important items, when building a

database, is a drawing or listing which shows what sensors are
connected to which monitoring modules. In addition, an analyst
who builds a CSI 2600 database needs to know if the monitoring
modules perform any signal conditioning on the input signals
before passing them through to their output connectors.
The CSI 2600 monitoring unit has the capability to provide bias
voltage and current (+24 V / 4 mA) for accelerometers and must be
in this configuration if connecting directly to accelerometers.
However, if connecting to a module, it is likely that the module
powers/biases the accelerometers and sensor power should not be
turned on at each CSI 2600 signal connection.
When building a CSI 2600 database

The program used to build a CSI 2600 database is
“Online Configuration.” Many database concepts are
discussed in this manual in general terms. For more
detailed instructions on building a database refer to the
95
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
online help within the Online Configuration program. This program

includes conditional statements, called “Collection Predicates,”
used to define machine events. A collection predicate can be
defined to automatically archive transient data from the CSI 2600 to
a permanent location on the laptop. The transient event is defined
by a “collection predicate.” The predicate has a true or false value,
depending upon its definition.
A typical collection predicate for CSI 2600 transient operation would
be “Speed below 3585 RPM.” This predicate will have a value of
“False” if speed is above 3585 RPM. It would have a value of “True” if
speed is below 3585. This could be the transient event.
The collection predicate is used by the CSI 2600 to automatically
collect transient waveforms from the CSI 2600, and send them in a
(large) folder to the laptop. Once on the laptop, the measurements
are saved and they may be examined by the CSI 2600 analyst.
Create a transient collection predicate

To create this transient collection predicate in Online Configuration:
1. Right click on the “Predicates” folder beneath the CSI 2600
and select “Add Collection Predicate.”
Figure 39. Transient Event Collection Predicate
2. Enter a name for the predicate, do not include any blanks in

the name.
3. Click the down arrow button beside the “Tach” field, and
select the tachometer to be used during transient acquisition.
This will be a tachometer connected to CSI 2600 tach location
1, 2, 3, or 4.
96
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
4. Click the arrow button beside the tach “Comparison” field,

and select the equation to be used for the predicate.
Figure 40. Select predicate equation
5. Enter a value in the Speed1 field, in this example, 3585.
Figure 41. Transient Collection Predicate
6. Click “OK.”
97
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Sensor (or module) characteristics are also described to a database

with Online Configuration.
Figure 42. Sensor (Module) sensitivity and range
When using the CSI 2600 to monitor turbo machinery, rely on the
following plots and measurements:
• Shaft centerline plots; displays of the shaft position within a
bearing area.
• Orbits; displays of shaft vibration from a pair of probes.
• Bode/Nyquist plots, which show phase and signal amplitude.
Information is built into the CSI 2600 database, so that software
program Diagnostic Analysis can create these plots. Details of
database construction are described in other Emerson manuals.
However, the following information summarizes important sensor
mounting characteristics.
Proximity Probe Initial Position

Two values are entered in a CSI 2600 database, which are used by
both the shaft centerline and orbit plots for pairs of proximity
probes. These are:
• Resting DC voltage
98
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
• Bearing clearance
The resting DC voltage is a measurement taken when a shaft is not
turning, and is resting at the bottom of the bearing. Bearing
clearance is the difference in diameters between the rotating shaft,
and the internal area of the bearing. These are shown in the figure,
Resting DC voltage, Bearing clearance, although the clearances are
exaggerated for the purposes of illustration.
Figure 43. Resting DC voltage, Bearing clearance
99
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
As the shaft rotates, it rises up in the bearing clearance area, as

shown in the figure, At speed centerline location.
Figure 44. At speed centerline location
The “resting DC voltage” and “bearing clearance” values are used to

calculate this change in position. The Diagnostic Analysis program
uses these stored values, and values measured while the shaft is
rotating, to show how the shaft is moving.

Figure 46, Diagnostic Analysis shaft centerline plot, is an actual

shaft centerline plot. The bearing clearance is the circle which
surrounds the measurements. A cursor has been placed on the
running speed (1802.7 RPM) location. The plot shows a series of
measurements, taken at different speeds for the pair of probes. The
first position plotted corresponds to 161 RPM (not labeled on the
plot). The shaft has moved up in the bearing area as speed
increased.

Probe mounting geometry is described to the CSI 2600 database

using a screen associated with a component. This information
includes the convention used to define “clockwise” and “counter
clockwise” (from driven or driver end), probe mounting angles, and
tachometer (phase reference) mounting angle.

Commissioning a database for transient operation

The CSI 2600 system may simultaneously be used to monitor
machinery under normal operating conditions, and also to create a
large “archive” of information for those signals which are
designated (while building the database) as “transient.” All sensor
connections to the CSI 2600 are “commissioned” for normal
operation. Some (or all) of these are designated as “transient,” and
are “commissioned” for transient operation as well.
Commissioning for transient operation involves three steps:
1. Create collection predicate for transient auto archive
operation.
2. Commission transient channels.
3. Create an “Auto-Archive” definition.
Step 1 is to create a collection predicate for transient operation.

Often this will be a “Trip” event; such as “speed for tachometer
channel 13 drops below 3585 RPM.” This collection predicate will
be used (in Step 3) to cause the CSI 2600 to automatically transfer a
103
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
large folder (an archive) of transient measurements to the online

server. Once on the server, they may be viewed and studied by an
analyst. Archives stored on the server are not affected by CSI 2600
HDD operation (that is, old measurements on HDD will eventually
be written over by new measurements).
Step 2 is to commission transient channels. This is a quick process,
and unlike prediction channel commissioning, can be done all at
once for all of the transient channels. An analyst may designate
some or all of the already commissioned predictive channels, for
transient operation. Some signals (that is, case expansion, motor
horizontal outboard) may not include valuable transient
information. In this case, they do not need to be commissioned as
transient, only as predictive signals.
To commission channels for transient operation, right click on the
CSI 2600 in the left-hand panel (in Online Configuration) and then
select “Commission Transient Channels.”
Figure 48. Commission Transient channels (1)
Note
In Figure 48,Commission Transient channels (1), channels 1-6 are already
commissioned for “normal” operation, as indicated by the green circle and
check mark at each channel connection.
A pop-up window will appear. Signals which are commissioned for

predictive operation are listed in the window. Left click in each box
104
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
to designate the channel as transient and then click the “Acquire”

button.
Measurements for the entire set of signals will be shown. A vertical
scroll bar at the right side of the waveform display may be used to
view signals not shown in the pop-up window. At the bottom of the
waveform display window, is a single “Commission” button. Left
click on this button to commission the channels for transient
operation.

these will have a letter “T” inside the green commissioned signal
indicator.

Figure 53. Transient Channels in Unit Report
After the channels are commissioned as transient, the system will

begin writing information from those channels onto the CSI 2600
HDD (assuming the database was downloaded into the CSI 2600).
However, one step remains. This step tells the CSI 2600 when to
automatically send an archive of measurements from the CSI 2600
to the online server. This is step 3 of the transient commissioning
sequence.
To tell the system when to automatically send transient information
to the online server, right click on the transient tachometer (location
13, 14, 15, or 16), and select “Transient Auto-Archive Properties.”
108
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Figure 54. Define Transient Auto-Archive
A pop-up window will appear. In this window, three characteristics

of the automatically generated archive are described. First, a name
is assigned. In Figure 55, Auto-Archive Properties, a name of
“RANGE 1500_2985” has been assigned. All automatically created
archives will use this text, and will add to it a date-time indicator, to
create individual (and unique, different date-times) archive folder
names.
109
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Figure 55. Auto-Archive Properties
The second auto-archive characteristic is the collection predicate

which is to be used to trigger the archive creation. The Auto-Archive
Properties screen shows a collection predicate which will be “TRUE”
when speed at tachometer connection 13 is above 1500 RPM and
below 2985 RPM.
The third and final auto-archive characteristic is the window of time,
around the transient predicate change. In the collection predicate
example just stated, an auto-archive will include 5 minutes of
measurements (already in the CSI 2600) before the collection
predicate changes to TRUE, and then 2 minutes of measurements
which follow the predicate change. When all 7 minutes of
measurements have been collected, the archive will be sent from
the CSI 2600 to the online server.
Only one archive is created when the predicate changes to TRUE. For
instance, if at 0130 AM, speed drops below 2985 RPM. The five
minutes of measurements already in the CSI 2600 are grabbed and
put in a folder (still on the HDD). Two additional minutes of
measurements are collected, put in the folder, and that folder is sent
to the online server, at about 0132 AM. The collection predicate
may still be TRUE at 0132. However, a second archive will not be
started, and sent to the server. Automatic archives are created when
the collection predicate changes to TRUE.
110
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
An automatic archive may include up to one hour of measurements,

which is a tremendous amount (remember, about 40 MB/channel/
hour). Archives may also be manually created (described later in this
section), these can have more than one hour of information in
them.
Reviewing and saving a transient database

After building a CSI 2600 database, an analyst should review it.
Mounting probe angles, rotation direction, resting DC voltages,
bearing clearances, etc. A database report is generated by right-
clicking the CSI 2600 in the left-hand panel and then selecting
“Report.” A large listing of CSI 2600 characteristics and physical
connections will be shown.
Figure 56. CSI 2600 report
This report includes:

• Firmware revision used by the CSI 2600
• Calibration information for the CSI 2600
• Predicates and their definitions
• Signal connections: which are transient, which are not
transient
• Tachometer definitions
• Relay definitions
111
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Figure 57. A CSI 2600 report
After a transient database is built and verified, go to File > Online

server > Save to save the database. This causes the database
configuration to be downloaded into the CSI 2600.
CSI 2600 operation: Online Watch

Machinery Health Manager program Online Watch is used to
monitor system status, and view latest measurements. Transient
system status includes:
• Streaming / not streaming to HDD (and which HDD)
• Time of oldest recorded information
• Progress of archive creation
When a database is downloaded into the CSI 2600, the unit
reorganizes internal software and schedules to conform to the
database definition. While it is doing this, the unit status will be
“Acknowledged.”
112
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Figure 58. Transient Status: acknowledged
When the unit is ready to monitor using the database definition,

status will change to “Node(Unit)Up.”
A single Online Watch screen displays CSI 2600 status, and the
status of any archives. This display has two tabs, “Transient status”
and “Transient Archive Status.” The “Transient Status” tab is shown
in the figure, Online Watch: Transient Status tab.
Figure 59. Online Watch: Transient Status tab
CSI 2600 unit status is shown at the top. It should be

“Node(Unit)Up,” unless a database was just downloaded into the
unit (status will be “Acknowledged” for a minute or two). The
Current Acquisition State is normally “Transient Acquisition has
started.” If a database was just downloaded, this field will
temporarily have the value of “Unknown.” If an analyst has manually
stopped recording transient measurements to the CSI 2600, it will
113
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
have a status of “Transient Acquisition has stopped.” The Active

Streaming Location field is new to software version 5.0. Software
version 5.0 permits a transient system to record to one of two
destinations, one of which is external to the CSI 2600. One location
is designated as the “Primary” drive, the one which transient
measurements are normally written. The second is designated as
the “Failover” drive, which will be written to if the system detects a
problem with the primary drive. The Primary drive may be the CSI
2600 internal HDD, or it may be external. The system may be
configured to use only one drive, which is the case in the Online
Watch: Transient Status tab.
Note
The transient drive is the location where transient data is recorded during
normal/constant CSI 2600 operation. Measurements from this drive are
extracted when an archive is created, and sent as a folder (archive to the online
server.
The Transient Status tab also shows the time of oldest and newest
measurements currently stored in the CSI 2600 for a specific
database configuration. These fields may be updated by clicking the
Refresh button.
The final status indicator is the state of transient auto-archive
predicate. For the Online Watch: Transient Status tab, the database
is using a collection predicate which is TRUE if speed is above 1500
RPM and below 2985 RPM. Actual speed for tachometer signal 13 is
shown, it is 187 RPM. Therefore the collection predicate is FALSE, as
shown in the last column.
When the auto-archive predicate changes to TRUE, an analyst may
select the second tab Transient Archive Status to monitor progress
of archive creation.
For the Auto-Archive Predicate = TRUE (Figure 60) and Auto-Archive
status = Archiving (Figure 61) screens, the auto-archive definition
created in Online Configuration is to create archives with a name of
RANGE 1500_2985 (plus date-time stamp), and to include 5
minutes of measurements before the predicate changes to TRUE,
and then 2 minutes of measurements that follow. For the sequence
shown in the Figure 60, Auto-Archive Predicate=TRUE and Figure
114
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
61, Auto-Archive Status=Archiving, speed was increased from 187

RPM, causing the predicate to change to TRUE.
Figure 60. Auto-Archive Predicate = TRUE
The Transient Archive Status tab shows that an archive is being

created. Initially, it has a status of “Pending.” This is because the
system is adding two more minutes of measurements to a folder.
When it has the complete set of measurements (5 minutes before
the predicate changed to TRUE, 2 minutes after), it will send this
folder to the online server. While it is doing this, the archive status is
“Archiving,” and extraction progress is shown in the last column.
Figure 61. Auto-Archive status = Archiving
The auto-archive has the name assigned in Online Configuration

(RANGE 1500_2985) with a date time stamp (05-30-2007
10.17.07). This means that every automatically created archive has
a unique name. If the Transient archive predicate changes to
“FALSE,” and then changes back to “TRUE,” a new archive will be
115
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
created, but it will have a different name since the date-time is

different.
Once all of the measurements are sent to the online server, archive
status changes to “Complete.”
Figure 62. Auto-Archive status = Complete
Archives are stored in folders in the server “…\CustData” directory.

Two items will be created in that directory, having the same name as
the CSI 2600 database. One is the actual database (“.rbm” file). The
other is a folder.
Figure 63. CustData directory, CSI 2600 database “CSI 2600”
Inside folder “CSI 2600” there are a collection of other folders. One
of these, the “archives” folder, is where archives of transient
information are stored.
Three specific transient operations may also be performed using

Online Watch. These are:
• Manual archives may be created.
116
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
• Archive predicates may be disabled.

• Transient streaming (to the CSI 2600) may be stopped.
Manual archives are created in Online Watch by a three-step
process:
1. Select a component which has transient signals.
2. Right click and select “Start Transient Archive.”
3. Define the manual archive characteristics.
Figure 64. Steps 1 and 2, Manual Archive Creation
Figure 65. Step 3, Manual Archive Characteristics
117
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Archive progress may be observed using the Transient Archive

Status tab for the CSI 2600 unit.
Figure 66. Manual Archive Status
There are three major differences between a manually created

archive, and an automatically created archive. These are:
1. Manual archives only include information already in the CSI
2600. Automatically-generated archives can include
information which is received after the transient collection
predicate = TRUE.
2. Manual archives do not automatically have a date-time stamp

appended to them. Ensure that unique names are assigned.
3. Manual archives may have more than one hour of

measurements in them. Automatically generated archives
have a maximum of 60 minutes (one hour) of measurements.
Three other operations may be performed using Online Watch. First,
automatic archive creation can be disabled. An analyst may wish to
do this during startup, or if the machine is being cycled, and
multiple archives are not desired. To disable automatic archive
creation, right click on the archive predicate on the Transient Status
tab and select “Disable Archive Predicate.”
A pop-up, caution window will be displayed, asking the analyst to

verify the disable command.
The predicate state will be “Disabled” in Online Watch until it is re-
enabled. It may be manually re-enabled by right-clicking and
selecting “Enable Archive Predicate.”
When an archive predicate changes from “Disabled” to “True,” no

archive is created. Consider the following sequence:
118
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
1. Archive predicate is false.
2. Archive predicate is disabled, prior to machinery start-up.
3. Machine starts up, goes to speed of 1800 RPM.
4. Archive predicate is re-enabled.
5. Archive predicate immediately changes to value of TRUE.
6. No archive is created.
7. Machine speed continues to rise, goes to a speed of 3000

RPM.
8. Archive predicate changes to value of FALSE.
9. Machine trips, speed drops below 2985 RPM.
10. Archive predicate changes to value of TRUE.
11. Archive is automatically created and sent to online server.
Disabling/re-enabling archive predicates only determine if the CSI

2600 will send an archive to the online server, or not. This does not
stop measurements from being recorded by the CSI 2600. In the
previous sequence, a manual archive could be extracted, starting at
the time when the archive predicate was initially false, and ending
at the time that the machine was at 3000 RPM.
However, an analyst may command the CSI 2600 to stop recording
transient information using a single command. To stop transient
acquisition, right click on the CSI 2600 and select “Stop Transient
Acquisition.” A pop-up window will indicate that this has happened,
and the status indicator will be:
Figure 67. Stop Transient Acquisition
119
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Figure 68. Transient Status = Stopped
Analysts may remove items from the Transient Archive Status tab
(Figure 69, Acknowledging Transient Archives). This does not delete
archives from the online server, it only removes them from the list
shown on the Transient Archive Status tab. To remove an archive
from the listing, right click on it and select “Acknowledge Transient
Archive.”
Figure 69. Acknowledging Transient Archives
Managing archives
Typical CSI 2600 operation will involve moving around, and
examining, extremely large amounts of transient information. A one
hour archive for a CSI 2600 which has 10 channels commissioned for
transient operation, will be approximately 400 MB in size. The CSI
2600 will permit an analyst to manually extract 10, 20, 30, etc.
hours of measurements from the CSI 2600. Obviously, these files
can be extremely large. Even an online server with a very large HDD
will eventually fill up.
Efficient CSI 2600 system operation will be achieved if the analyst
regularly reviews extracted archives (automatic, manual), and keeps
120
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
only those of interest, or keeps only the portions of interest in each

archive. Other Emerson documentation describes how to extract a
smaller archive from a large one, using program Diagnostic
Analysis.
Archive movement and display is significantly affected by
characteristics of the laptop. An archive consists of a continuous
waveform, the length of the archive. Laptops have a finite amount
of video display memory that may limit the amount of graphic data
viewed in an archive. If an analyst wants to extract and view large
amounts of information from the CSI 2600, individual archives of 1 -
2 hours of measurements should be sequentially extracted.
Changing from one database to another

The CSI 2600 is a continuous but portable monitoring system.
Because it is continuous, it normally has an active database into
which it stores measurements from a CSI 2600 monitoring unit.
Because it is portable, it may be moved from one piece of rotating
machinery to another. This portability places one significant
requirement on analysts; ensure that measurements from one
machine do not become stored in a database or archive folder for a
different one.
WARNING!
Ensure that the following sequence is observed, whenever moving the
CSI 2600 from one monitoring rack/machine to another. Incorrect per-
formance of this sequence could result in the storage of one (the second
machine) in the database of another (the first machine).
1. Before disconnecting from the first machine, open program

“RBM Network Administration.”
Note
You will need to logon to AMS Machinery Health Manager as an Administrator to
access this program.

MHM-97453.0 March 2011
4 Basic Maintenance and

Troubleshooting
Introduction
During the lifetime of a CSI 2600 system, an analyst can expect to
perform the following maintenance tasks:
• Installing new firmware
• Installing new software
• Change CSI 2600 boot settings
Also during the lifetime of a CSI 2600 system, an analyst may need
to troubleshoot one of the following situations:
• Measurements in Online Watch and/or Diagnostic Analysis
appear incorrect
• Online Watch CSI 2600 status is “Node(Unit)Down”
• System Status LED is red
• CSI 2600 does not communicate with online server
• Automatic archive was not created
• Archive was truncated
• Unable to make changes to a database
Installing new firmware

Periodically, Emerson will revise firmware used by the CSI 2600 (and
companion products). This may be downloaded from the CSI
Technologies website, and it often is included in a folder with a
software update CD.
125
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Each time the CSI 2600 starts up, it steps through the following
sequence:
• Verifies firmware revision of firmware image copy stored in
local (CSI 2600) memory.
• Using the server address stored in local memory, contacts the
server, and looks for firmware in server directory
“C:\Inetpub\ftproot\bin.”
• Checks firmware revision of files on the server, compares to
revision of image stored in local memory.
• If firmware revision on server is newer, it downloads that
firmware using a server O/S service utility (not software
written by Emerson).
• Updates image stored in local memory with the new files,
boots up using the new files.
An important point to note in the above sequence is that the CSI
2600 loads firmware when it boots up. The CSI 2600 will not use
new firmware on the online server, unless the unit is rebooted after
the new firmware was loaded on the server.
After the firmware installation to the server is complete, perform
the following steps:
1. Cycle power on all CSI 2600 units.
2. After 5 minutes, look for the Server Connect LED to be lit

green, and the System Status LED to be pulsing green,
indicating a healthy heartbeat.
3. Enter “Online Config” and click on the level below the unit
branch of the tree to bring up the CSI 2600 mimic screen.
4. Right click on the CSI 2600 and select “Properties.” Verify that
the firmware revision listed matches what was just installed.
126
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Installing new software

It is strongly recommended that databases and accompanying
transient archives which were created and managed by one
software revision, be copied to a safe folder location, prior to
updating software. Major software changes (that is, version 4.90 to
5.0) will re-index a database when it is opened in the new software.
The re-indexed database cannot be opened with the earlier
software revision. Software will always notify an analyst before it re-
indexes a database.
Copying databases and archives to a safe folder is an easy operation,
performed using the online server operating system tools (click and
drag, etc.), with one exception. If the CSI 2600 is prepared to store
data in a specific database, the operating system will not let you
make a copy of that database. In this case, you must stop data
collection first.
To stop data collection, perform the following sequence of steps:
1. Log on to Machinery Health Manager software using an
administrator account.
2. Open program RBM Network Administration.
3. Right click the online server from the bottom center panel and
select “Online Server Setup.”
Figure 73. Netadmin Online Server Setup
4. Click the “Stop Data Collection” button. This is a multi-

purpose selector and not a status indicator. it is used to both
stop and start data collection. The button is labeled with the
127
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
operation which an analyst may command. For instance, if the

system is currently storing data in a database, the button will
be labeled “Stop Data Collection.”
Figure 74. Stopping data collection
5. Click the “Done” button and then exit RBM Network

Administration.
Both the database, and accompanying archives, should be at least

temporarily copied prior to updating software. Archives are located
in a folder which has the same name as the CSI 2600 transient
database. Both are in the “…\RBMNet\RBMSuite\CustData…”
directory.
Periodically, Emerson will revise software used by the CSI 2600 (and
companion products). This may be downloaded from the CSI
Technologies website and is sometimes received on a CD. Firmware
on the CD may include a “Setup” file, which will install the software,
performing. If a setup file is supplied, simply run the setup file.
Software patches
If software “patches” (changes to one or more of the Machinery
Health Manager software programs, but not to all of them) are
supplied, the following sequence should be used.
1. Stop data collection (RBM Network Administration).
128
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
2. Stop CSI 2600 services (see next paragraph).
3. Copy patches to appropriate folder. Machinery Health

Manager software “executable files” are normally located at
directory “...\RBMNet\RBMSuite\sys…”
4. Restart CSI 2600 services.
CSI 2600 software uses five “services.” Services are programs,

running in the background on the server. These specific programs
are configured to start up automatically, whenever the online server
starts up. To access these, use the following sequence:
1. Right click on “My Computer” and select “Manage.”
Figure 75. Under My Computer select Manage
2. Select “Services” in the left hand panel.
3. Scroll down in the service listing in the right-hand panel, right

click on “CsiO_Server” and select “Stop.”

Csi_MhmRemote.
Maintenance: change CSI 2600 boot

settings
During normal usage, it is unlikely that boot settings initially
programmed into the CSI 2600 CPU and Transient circuit boards,
130
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
will ever need to be changed. However at least two unusual

situations may require that these settings be changed. These are:
• CPU or Transient board is being replaced, if replacement
board has different boot settings.
• CSI 2600 is added to an existing Ethernet network, not
directly connected to the online server through a dedicated
cable.
Note
Do not add a CSI 2600 to an existing Ethernet network until its IP addresses (CPU
board, Transient board) have been verified and changed if necessary, to be
compatible with addresses already in use on the existing network.
Default/factory boot settings may be correct for a CSI 2600 system.

Normally, a CPU board will be programmed with address
192.168.0.10, a Transient board with 192.168.0.11, and both will
expect the server to be at address 192.168.0.1. These may be the
exact values for your CSI 2600 system. To determine the initial
settings for a replaced board, insert the board in the CSI 2600, and
power it up. When it has finished its “boot cycle,” use a
HyperTerminal connection to determine its addresses.
The recommended method of changing CSI 2600 boot settings is
via a “HyperTerminal” session. This was described in Chapter 3 of
this manual, and is repeated here.
To change IP addresses stored in the CSI 2600, a standard RS232
cable is needed, connected between the online server serial port,
and the CSI 2600 9-pin front connector. The cable will need a male/
plug connector on one end and a female/receptacle connector on
the other (CSI 2600) end.
Configure the online server serial port as follows:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No flow control
131
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Connect the serial cable to both the CSI 2600 9-pin connection, and
the laptop. Open operating system utility “HyperTerminal.” This is
usually selected from Programs > Accessories > Communications>
HyperTerminal, as shown in Figure 78, HyperTerminal utility.
Figure 78. HyperTerminal utility
When connected to a CSI 2600, an analyst will use four commands

or key strokes to interact with the boot settings stored in each
processing board (CPU, Transient). These are:
• bootChange - (case sensitive). This will cause the boot
parameters for the specific circuit board to be listed, one at a
time. To change a parameter, type the new value beside the
stored value. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BACKSPACE/DELETE THE
STORED PARAMETERS.
• Ctrl-B - (Hold down Ctrl key and press the B key.) This will
toggle from one board to the other (if serial port is
communicating with the CPU board, Ctrl-B will toggle to the
Transient board).
• Ctrl-T - will cause the board to display an identifier (tell you
with which board you are communicating).
• reboot - (case sensitive, all lower case). This will cause the
board to reboot, using new boot settings.
• . - the period key. Type a period at the end of a stored value, to
clear this value.
Important rules when changing boot

parameters
Rule 1: No boot parameters take effect, until the unit is
rebooted.
132
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Rule 2: Do not attempt to delete stored values. Type a new

value beside the stored value.
Rule 3: Only change the IP address values.
CAUTION!
Do not change ftp password, boot file name, flags, etc. If a unit boots up
with incorrect values for these parameters, the system will probably not
operate and in some cases, the unit may need to be returned to Emerson.
Rule 4: In most cases, changes will need to be made to both

processing boards. Both the CPU and Transient boards will
need to be updated. They have separate boot parameters,
changing one set does not change the other.
Rule 5: Review changes, before using the reboot command.
Rule 6: If network addresses are changed, update any drawings
or documents which use the old addresses.
IP addresses stored in the CSI 2600

Perform the following sequence:
1. Write down the IP addresses that need to be changed.
Normally this will be either the online server address, or the
CPU address or Transient board address.
2. Connect to the CSI 2600, start a HyperTerminal session.
3. Type the command bootChange (note this is case-sensitive; all

4. Use the “Enter” key to advance down the list of parameters,

until the specific parameter is listed.
5. Type the new parameter value beside the old value.
133
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
6. Use the “Enter” key to advance through the list of parameters.
Figure 79. Example of CSI 2600 CPU board settings
7. At the end of the list, type Ctrl-B (hold “Ctrl” key down, press
the “B” key) to toggle to the other circuit board.
8. Type “bootChange” for this board.
9. Use the “Enter” key to advance through the list of parameters

on the other circuit board, making changes as necessary.
10. Press the “Enter” key until at the end of the parameter list.
11. On the second board, type the command “bootChange” a

second time, press the “Enter” key to review settings.
Figure 80. An example of Transient board boot settings
134
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
12. Type “Ctrl-B” (hold “Ctrl” key down, press the “B” key) to
switch to the other (first) circuit board.
13. Type “bootChange” a second time, review boot settings.
When settings have been changed and reviewed, type the

command “reboot” to cause the CSI 2600 to boot up using the new
settings, or power cycle the unit. Disconnect and store the serial
cable.
General
There are other maintenance activities which may need to be
performed during the product life of the CSI 2600. These can
include:
• Recalibration
• Board replacement
These activities should be coordinated with the appropriate
Emerson Product Support office.
Troubleshooting: Measurements in
Online Watch and/or Diagnostic Analysis
appear incorrect
Since the CSI 2600 is a portable system using existing field wiring, it
is likely that CSI 2600 values will be compared to values measured
by some other instrument (that is, the monitor rack which the CSI
2600 connects to, or a hand-held vibration monitoring instrument
such as the CSI 2130).
If two instruments are showing different measurements for the
same signal, it is likely that:
• Different units are being used by the two instruments.
• The monitoring rack output signal is not an exact replica of
the input signal, rather it is a conditioned version.
135
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
• The monitoring rack output signal is a current-level signal (i.e.,

4-20 mA) not a voltage signal.
The CSI 2600 can display measurements in acceleration, velocity, or
displacement. In addition, spectral displays can be in peak-to-peak,
peak, or RMS. Displayed values may be changed on the appropriate
display by right-clicking over the vertical axis in most displays and
selecting desired units.
Figure 81. Online Watch, changing display units
Another possible cause for incorrect measurements, is a mismatch

between the sensitivity programmed into a CSI 2600 database, and
the sensitivity (and offset) of the value which is actually being
supplied to the CSI 2600. The CSI 2600 is normally not connected
directly to sensors, but rather to the output of a module. If the
136
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
module is conditioning the sensor input, and presenting a modified

value to the CSI 2600, the database must be configured for this in
order to compensate for it.
To determine if this is happening, examine the Gross Scan DC
readings in Online Watch. For accelerometers, the Gross Scan DC
should be in a range of 8-12 VDC. This value should be shown in
Online Watch. Proximity probes are normally gapped at about -10.0
Volts, Gross Scan DC should display approximately this level.
In the figure, Online Watch Gross Scan DC values, signals POH and
PIH are accelerometers. Notice the Gross Scan DC values of 9.442 V
and 10.325 V. Signals CH1Y1, CH2X1, CH3Y2, and CY4X2 are
proximity probes, which were gapped in a range of -6.77 to -6.896
V DC. As mentioned earlier, a more typical setting would be about -
10.0 V. The values shown in the figure are for proximity probes
mounted on a rotor kit, which because of small shaft and bearing
pedestal size, are mounted close to the shaft.
Figure 82. Online Watch Gross Scan DC values
If Gross Scan DC values shown in Online Watch are not typical for
the type of sensor in use, the module which the CSI 2600 is
attached to is probably conditioning the output signal. In this case,
the CSI 2600 database must be updated (using program Online
Configuration).
The CSI 2600 product expects sensor signals whose voltage is
proportional to vibration or position. This is not the case with a 4-20
mA output from a monitoring module (current is proportional to
vibration or position). If 4-20 mA signals are provided to the CSI
2600, then a suitable sized resistor needs to be placed in parallel
137
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
with sensor BNC inputs (across ground and signal), to convert the
current to voltage.
Figure 83. 4 - 20mA conversion and compensation
In the example shown in Figure 83, 4 - 20 mA conversion and

compensation, a 500 ohm resistor converts signals in the range of 4-
20 mA to 2-10 V. After the conversion, the database must be
configured so that it interprets a 2 V input as a zero value (offset),
and each 1 V change in input signal as corresponding to 2 ips of
vibration change (sensitivity).
Troubleshooting: CSI 2600 status is

“Node(Unit)Down”
This can be a temporary condition, or it may be an indicator of a
communication configuration problem.
When the CSI 2600 is powering up, and has not yet identified itself
to the online server, its status (in Online Watch and in Online
Configuration) is “Node(Unit)Down.” This is a temporary condition.
An online server periodically (every 15 minutes) interrogates its CSI
2600 network connection, to see if any assigned units are available.
Within 15 minutes of power-up, a temporary communication
138
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
problem will be resolved. An analyst may “short-circuit” this 15

minute interval by performing the following steps:
1. Right click on “My Computer,” select “Manage.”
2. In the left-hand panel, click on “Services and Applications” to

expand this folder.
3. Select “Services” in the “Services and Applications” folder.
4. In the right-hand panel, right click on CsiO_Server and select

“Restart.” This causes service “O_server” to stop and start. It
will immediately interrogate the CSI 2600 network port and
connect to any CSI 2600s that are assigned to it.
Figure 84. Restarting Csi_O_Server
A status of “Node(Unit)Down” may also be an indicator of a

communication configuration problem. Successful communication
between an online server and CSI 2600 requires:
• IP address of CSI 2600 matches IP addresses assigned to the
online server (RBM Network Administration, Online Server
Setup).
• IP address of server matches server IP address stored in CSI
2600 boot memory.
• CSI 2600 configuration must match configuration created in
Online Watch for the unit.
• Ethernet connection between online server and CSI 2600
must be functioning.
• Other CSI 2600 boot parameters must be correct.
• Any online server firewalls have been configured to permit CSI
2600 and online server communication, or have been
disabled.
139
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
View or set IP address of the Online Server

1. Select “Control Panel.”
2. Select “Network Connections.”
3. Select the Ethernet port used to communicate with the CSI

2600.
4. Select “Properties.”
5. In the “Properties” screen, scroll down to “Internet Protocol

(TCP\IP),” then click the “Properties” button.
6. Verify that “Use the Following IP address” button is on, and

that the IP address (of the server) matches the address stored
in the CSI 2600.
Change IP addresses using a HyperTerminal

connection
1. Connect a null-modem serial cable between the online server
and CSI 2600 DB9.
2. Open “HyperTerminal” on the online server.
3. Connect to the 2600.
4. Type the command “bootChange.”
5. Scroll down the boot parameters by using the “Enter” key. To

change a boot parameter (that is, IP address of server, IP
address of CSI 2600 board), type the new value beside the
displayed current setting.
6. Review all changes by typing the command “bootChange”

again. To erase a setting, type the period (.) character.
7. DO NOT CHANGE boot parameters not necessary for

communication. The only boot parameters that an analyst
should ever need to change are: IP address of server, IP address
of board and in rare occasions, file location for the boot file.
140
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
8. After reviewing changes, use the Ctrl-B key sequence to

toggle to the other circuit board which has stored boot
parameters in it. Use the above sequence on the second
board.
9. When boot parameters have been changed AND REVIEWED,

reboot the unit.
A CSI 2600 may not communicate (status = Node(Unit)Down) if

boot parameters are incorrect, including those not used for
addressing. For instance, the first boot parameter “boot device,”
must have a value of shend0. If this value is changed, the unit will
not communicate with online server. If parameters “user” or “ftp
password” are changed, the unit may communicate, but it will not
download new firmware.
In most applications, the CSI 2600 is connected directly to the
online server. However it is possible to connect the CSI 2600 to a
network, and then for the online server to be also connected to the
network, some distance away. If there is a gateway (not a switch or
hub) between the CSI 2600 and online server, then that gateway IP
address must also be programmed into the CSI 2600 (both boards;
the CPU board, and Transient board) at boot setting “gateway inet.”
System Status LED is red

Each time a CSI 2600 starts up, it runs a series of Power On Self Tests
(POST). These are tests of internal electronics, signal paths,
memory access, etc.
Some details about the failure may be shown by establishing a

“Telnet” session with the unit (assuming it can communicate with
the online server).
If the CSI 2600 is able to communicate with the online server, then a
Telnet session may be used, which may give some details about the
POST failure.
141
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
• Type telnet <IP address of CPU board> (example: telnet

192.168.0.10) on the “Run” line.
Figure 85. Telnet to CPU board
• Type “csi” at the login prompt, and” csiSupport” at the

Password prompt (login, password and commands are case
sensitive).
• Type the command “showUnitStatus” (case sensitive).
Figure 86. showUnitStatus command
• Scroll down in the listing until the flags are shown. If there was
a POST failure, a flag will be set, and the title of the failure will
also be listed.
Figure 87. Flags in showUnitStatus listing
142
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
• Scroll down in the listing until the Transient board flags are
listed.
Figure 88. Flags in showUnitStatus listing
These steps will not correct a POST failure, but they will give more
details. It is possible that a failed unit may temporarily be used in a
specific application, prior to shipment back to CSI for repair. For
instance, if a signal path on the circuit board with signals 17-32 has
failed, but the analyst wishes to operate the system in a
configuration that only uses signal connections at 1-16, the system
may function for that measurement.
CSI 2600 does not communicate with

online server
If the CSI 2600 is not communicating with the online server, it will
have a status of “Node(Unit)Down” in both Online Watch and
Online Configuration. This may be a temporary or permanent
condition, as described in an earlier section.
Valid network communication requires the following:

• Physical connection between CSI 2600 and online server
• IP address matching; server, CSI 2600
• No firewalls blocking communication
143
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
• Service “CsiO_Server” running on online server

The first troubleshooting step for a suspected communication
problem is to “ping” the CPU board. To ping the CPU board, open a
“command” window (Start menu > Run > Command), then type the
command ping “192.168.0.10”.
Note
If CSI 2600 CPU address is different, type that address instead of 192.168.0.10.
A valid ping indicates that the two Ethernet addresses can

communicate, and that the problem is probably a configuration
mismatch between the CSI 2600 and online server.
Figure 89. Valid “ping” exchange
If the ping message fails, the problem is probably a physical error

between the CSI 2600 and online server (bad Ethernet connection,
gateway between the two units, wrong CPU IP address
programmed into CSI 2600).
144
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
Figure 90. Failed “ping” exchange
Automatic archive was not created

As part of database creation for a CSI 2600 transient system, an
auto-archive is defined. This definition associates a TRUE/FALSE
condition (predicate) with a set of transient signals, and with a time-
window, which starts before the predicate becomes TRUE and ends
after it has become TRUE.
The most likely cause of a situation where an archive is not
automatically created is one of the following:
• Archive predicate condition not TRUE.
• Archive predicate has been disabled in Online Watch.
• Data streaming to HDD was halted in Online Watch.
To trigger automatic creation of an archive, the predicate used with
that archive must change state from either “FALSE” to “TRUE,” or
from “INDETERMINATE” to “TRUE.” The archive predicate does not
need to remain true for the entire archive sequence, it only has to
change state to TRUE.
145
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
Figure 91. Archive predicate state (last line)
The following two events will not cause an archive to be created:

• Predicate changes from “Disabled” to “TRUE.”
• Predicate remains “TRUE” after initial archive is created.
Archive creation can be disabled in Online Watch by right-clicking
on the predicate and then selecting “Disable Archive Predicate.”
Figure 92. Disabling Archive Predicate
An analyst may wish to disable an archive predicate, for instance, if a

machine is being cycled (which would cause multiple archives to be
created), or is initially starting up. When an analyst disables an
146
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
archive predicate, a pop-up window will ask him or her to verify this
request.
A transition from “Disabled” to “TRUE” will not cause an archive to
be created. Consider the following sequence for the predicate
shown in Figure 92, Disabling Archive Predicate (archive will be
created when speed goes above 1500 RPM, or drops below 2985
RPM from a higher speed):
• 13:00 -- Analyst disables predicate, turbine speed is 300 RPM
• 13:15 -- Turbine begins to start up
• 14:00 -- Turbine is now at 2500 RPM
• 14:15 -- Analyst enables predicate, turbine speed is 2600
RPM, archive predicate is TRUE, but no automatic archive is
created.
Disabling an archive predicate does not stop measurements from
being written to the CSI 2600 HDD. The values are still there. In the
above sequence, an analyst may manually extract measurements
from the CSI 2600 HDD for the time period 13:00 to 14:15.
An analyst may actually command the system to stop writing
measurements to the HDD. This feature should be exercised with
caution. To stop transient acquisition, right click on the unit and
select “Stop Transient Acquisition.”
Figure 93. Stop Transient Acquisition
147
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
This condition is indicated on the Transient Status tab for the CSI
2600 unit.
Figure 94. Transient Acquisition stopped indication
Archive was truncated

An archive will have a status of “Truncated” if an analyst extracts a
block of data across a gap in the time frame requested. Consider the
following sequence:
• 13:00 -- Turbine speed is 300 RPM
• 13:15 -- Turbine begins to ramp up
• 13:30 -- Analyst stops transient acquisition
• 14:00 -- Turbine is now at 2500 RPM
• 14:15 -- Analyst starts transient acquisition
• 15:00 -- Turbine is at running speed (3600 RPM)
148
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
• 15:15 -- Analyst attempts to manually extract an archive,

starting at 13:00, continuing until 15:15. An archive will be
created, with a start time of 13:00, and an end time of 13:30
(time that transient acquisition was halted). Archive status
will be ‘Truncated.”
Figure 95. Archive status = truncated
Unable to make changes to a database

If an analyst is not able to make changes to a database, there are
two likely causes:
• System is in the process of storing an archive, created with an
earlier database configuration.
• Online server is attached to a different database.
If an archive is being created (status in Online Watch is “Pending” or
“Archiving”), a pop-up window will be displayed when an analyst
connects to the online server in program Online Configuration, as
shown in Figure 96, Archive Pending notification: Online
Configuration.
Figure 96. Archive Pending notification: Online Configuration
149
March 2011 MHM-97453.0
This is a temporary condition, which may be resolved by either of

the following actions:
• Wait for the archive to complete.
• Cancel the archive. Open Online Watch, go to the “Transient
Archive Status” tab, right click on the archive and select
“Cancel Transient Archive.”
Figure 97. Cancel Transient Archive
Should another database problem occur, contact the Emerson

Product Support office. For instance, if an analyst cannot open a
database, it is possible that this is because the online server is
attached to a different database. In this situation, the analyst would
open RBM Network Administration program, and select “Online
Server Setup” for the server shown in the bottom center panel, and
then click the “Stop Data Acquisition” button. In most cases,
however, either waiting for an archive to finish, or cancelling a
transient archive, will permit an analyst to change the database
which the online server is using at the time.

Appendix A Internal Wiring of the CSI 2600

The rear termination panel, shown in the following photo, plugs
directly onto the backplane. This termination panel has connectors
for sensor inputs, tachometer inputs, and discrete input/output relays
into the 12-2-2 modules. All these connections are available via BNC
connectors on the rear of the CSI 2600.

152
MHM-97453.0 March 2011
There are DIP switches for turning accelerometer power ON or

OFF. Each signal input channel has an associated DIP switch for
connecting accelerometer power (see callout number 5 in
Figure 98, A6500-M-RTRM Rear Termination Panel). For
accelerometer channels that require power, set the associated
DIP switch to the right (ON position). For sensor channels that
do not require power from the CSI 2600, set the associated DIP
switch to the left (OFF position).
Terminal descriptors
The table, Terminal Panel Definitions, describes the function of the

terminals on the termination panel.
Each channel has five terminals. The first two are for the + and - signal
inputs. If the associated DIP switch is set to ON, these terminals will
also supply +24 V constant current accelerometer power.
The second two are for the -24 V power supply for eddy current
probes. These terminals only supply power if an external -24 V power
supply is connected to the J19 power input terminal at the edge of the
termination panel.
Note
For the CSI 2600, this connection is not used and the -24 V power is available on
the panel-mounted Phoenix connector on the rear of the case.
The last terminal for each channel is a chassis ground for connecting
the sensor cable shield.
