1. Purpose 

Since the original design of the 3300 monitoring system, the Serial Data 

Interface/Dynamic Data Interface (SDI/DDI) communication protocols have been added. 

As a result, there are now three different 3300 configurations in the field: Original, Mixed, 

and SDI/DDI configurations. The purpose of this Compatibility Guide is to assist field 

personnel with the identification of each configuration and to explain the differences 

between these configurations. This document is not intended to be an upgrade guide to 

change from one configuration to another. 

The 3300 system has been enhanced to upgrade the computer/communications 

interface options. The 3300/03 SDI/DDI communication protocols were released in April 

1992 with external SDIX/DDIX, TDIX and TDXnet™ communication processors released in 

August 1992, July 1993 and December 1997, respectively. The internal Transient Data 

enabled (TDe) communications processor was released in July 2004. 3300 components 

that have been changed to implement these interface options are the System Monitor, 

AC and DC Power Supply, Rack Backplane, and individual monitor firmware. 3300 

systems that consist of all the upgraded components are referred to as an SDI/DDI 

system or TDe system. The SDI/DDI system uses the 3300/03 System Monitor and the 

TDe system uses the 3300/02 System Monitor. 

The information in this guide is divided into these two sections: 

Section 2, System Identification, lists the four configurations of the 3300 Monitoring 

System which are authorized by Bently Nevada LLC and shows how to identify each one. 

Identifying your system will help you make decisions about replacement parts and 

computer/communications interfaces. 

Section 3, System Compatibility, describes the compatibility between 3300 systems, 

communication interfaces, and monitoring and diagnostic software. 

Table 1 on the following page shows some definitions and explanations for the part 

numbers and abbreviations used in this guide

2. System Identification 

This section should be used to help define and identify each of the four configurations of 

the 3300 Monitoring System Bently Nevada LLC supports. The configurations are defined 

by the rack (backplane version), Power Supply, System Monitor, and firmware installed in 

individual monitors. The four possible 3300 configurations are explained below. 

Use Table 2 on the next page to clarify exactly which 3300 configuration you may have. 

2.1 Configuration Definitions 

2.1.1 Original System 

This is the first generation 3300 System. This system may have serial communication 

capability, but it predates and is not compatible with the internal data interfaces (TDe or 

SDI/DDI) and most recent external communication processors (SDIX/DDIX, TDIX and 

TDXnet™ CPs). The Original System can, however, communicate with a Digital Control 

System (DCS) or with DM2000 Software through a DDM, PDM, or TDM CP. 

These systems can be upgraded to the Mixed System, TDe or SDI/DDI System 

configuration, depending on your interface requirements. 

2.1.2 Mixed System 

This is the Original System with a 3300/03-01 System Monitor that does not have internal 

SDI/DDI capabilities but can interface to a DDM, TDM, PDM CP. In order to interface to an 

SDIX/DDIX, TDIX or TDXnet™ CP, the firmware in each monitor must be SDI/DDI 

compatible. 

NOTE: The System Monitor must be configured correctly with jumpers depending upon 

the external Communication Processor that is being used. The DDM, TDM, and PDM use 

a different static interface than the SDIX/DDIX, TDIX, and TDXnet™ CPs. Refer to the
