This course is workshop intensive! You will spend considerable time practicing configuration on the 3500 workstations and will have good hands-on experience to take back on the job. This helps engineers, operators & technicians understand the information available and provides the knowledge to help better operate machinery.

Our 3500 module workshop sessions can also be specifically tailored to emphasize the modules contained in your plant, maximizing your hands-on time experience. Both hotel & on-site seminars are offered.

• Introduce the 3500 Monitoring System
• Explain Typical Usage & Benefits
• Review Available Modules & The Information Provided
• Practice Software Configuration
• Review Implications of Configuration Parameters
• Review DDE / Modbus Communications to External Devices
• Learn to Program Modbus Maps
• Review Troubleshooting Techniques

Engineers, vibration analysts and I&C technicians who are involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of the 3500 Monitoring System.

A manual containing slide presentations, discussion materials, workshop exercises and additional reference information is provided in hardcopy and CD-ROM.
