4. Configuration Information
The 3500 Display Interface Module supports two types of display units, the 3500
Display Unit or optional third party Modbus

displays. For information about
configuring the interface module for an optional Modbus® Display, contact Bently
Nevada Systems Integration Services through your local sales office. This
section shows how to configure the Display Interface Module to operate with the
3500 Display Unit.
Configuration lets you control how the data from the monitor modules in a 3500
rack is displayed on the 3500 Display Unit. Before you configure the Display
Interface Module, check that
•
all other modules in the rack have been installed and configured.
•
all active monitor channels in the rack have valid user channel names. Enter
these names in the Channel Configuration screens for the individual modules
(requires Rack Configuration Software version 2.31 or later).
You configure the Display Interface Module by creating custom display sets,
defining how the display unit presents information, and setting software switches.
You can also check the status of the Display Interface Module and the Display
Unit using the verification screen.
4.1 Creating Custom Display Sets
The 3500 Display Unit displays data from monitor modules in the rack by using
either a default display set or custom display sets. The default display set
includes the primary values of all active channels from all modules in the rack.
The default set begins with values from the left most module in the rack. The
values in the set proceed in the order that modules are installed in the rack from
left to right. You can display specific groups of proportional values that are of
particular interest to you by using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to
create custom display sets.
Custom display sets can contain 8 values for bargraph displays and 16 values for
text displays. A set can include any combination of proportional values from any
active channels in the rack. You can define up to a total of 52 custom display
sets. The configuration software lets you assign names to each custom set.
These names will appear in the main menu of the Display Unit. This menu lets
you select which set of values are displayed on the 3500 Display Unit.
