your installation. This information is located on the installation CDs, and on your machine
following an installation.

Section 2 Overview

System 1 Required Components

Database Software
The System 1 Database software establishes and manages the database structure for a
System 1 installation. The System 1 Database software can do this regardless of where
the System 1 databases are located on the network. This is a required component of the
System 1 platform.
The System 1 Installation CDs contain the configuration and historical databases for the
sample database (also called the Demonstration Database). The installation CD also
contains the System 1 Database Tools that allow users to perform utility operations on
their System 1 databases.
The System 1 Database software should be installed on every computer that contains a
configuration or historical database, on every computer that will be an SQL Server, and on
every computer where you want the Demonstration Database or System 1 Tools to
reside.
Except for stand-alone systems, the Database software is not required for computers that
contain only the System 1 Configuration or Display software, unless these computers are
also used for data archiving.

Data Acquisition Software

The System 1 Data Acquisition software manages the transfer of data between the
System 1 platform and external data providers and consumers. It prepares the data for
storage in the database, for viewing onusing the Display software, and for use by System
Extender Applications. Data Collection Modules (DCMs) can transfer data from
external sources to the System 1 software. Data Exporters (e.g. OLE-Automation
Exporter) can transfer data from the System 1 platform to external consumers.
The Data Acquisition software consists of two types of modules: Base Data Acquisition
and Data Collector Modules (DCMs). Each module has specific functions.
As a user, you do not have access to the Data Acquisition software directly. An application
called the Data Acquisition Connection Manager controls starting and stopping the Data
Acquisition Software and the configuring the Data Acquisition server for data collection.
The Data Acquisition Connection Manager (DACM) may reside on any computer that can
access the computer where the Data Acquisition software is installed. This means that you
could monitor the Data Acquisition process on a single computer from one or more other
computer locations.
9

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Base Data Acquisition:

This module collects static and dynamic data from various sources and prepares it for
storage and use by other System 1 modules. Some System 1 Data Acquisition functions
include:

Processing collected dynamic data and generating additional machine parameters

including nX components, spectral bands, etc.

Buffering data and change filtering

Generating various software alarms

Reporting hardware alarms

Storing new data to databases

Providing real-time and current value data for System 1 displays

Data Collector Modules:

The System 1 Acquisition Software uses a Data Collector Module (also called a DCM)
to collect data from various external data sources or data providers. For example, the
System 1 platform requires a specific DCM type to collect data from a Snapshot for
Windows CE portable device.. The System 1 software would require another DCM
type to communicate with a TDXnet Communications Processor.
DCMs are purchased as options to your System 1 Application Package. Discuss which
DCMs and System 1 packages best suit your needs with your local Sales representative.
The following DCMs are currently available with the System 1 software offering:

10

Snapshot for Windows CE DCM

3500 TDI Communication Processor DCM

Section 2 Overview

3300 TDe Communication Processor DCM

TDXnet Communications Processor DCM

OPC (Ole for Process Control) DCM

NetDDE DCM

Trendmaster Dynamic Scanning Module DCM

Modbus DCM

GE Standard Messages DCM

System 1 Application Program Interface DCM

As the System 1 platform adds additional hardware and software, new DCMs will be
added to accommodate them.

Configuration Software
Configuration is the process of assigning the parameters and values that define System 1
components and determine how they operate. During the configuration process, you enter
parameters that describe which measurement points, variables, machines, and assets you
are monitoring, where they are located, how they will be monitored, how you want to trend
them, and what setpoint data values should trigger alarm notifications.
You may install the System 1 Configuration software on any computer that meets the
minimum installation requirements. This software allows a user to build, edit, print, and
view the configuration information for each System 1 Enterprise. Configuration software
does not have to reside on the same computer as the configuration database(s).
In addition, you may use File-Based Configuration (FBC) clients to accomplish many of
the same tasks available in the System 1 Configuration software.

Application Advisories:
When using the Configuration Software, the Enterprise configuration
database is open and may be changing. To guarantee the integrity of the
configuration parameters, only one person may change the database at a
time. Others are limited to read-only access until the database is released.
Additionally, if you wish to view configuration parameters on a Display
workstation, the Configuration software must be installed on that same
workstation. This is also true for changing spectral band alarms while in the
Display software.
11

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Display Software
System 1 Display software may reside on any computer. This software connects to an
Enterprise and displays real-time and historical data in a variety of formats, including
plots, tabular lists, bar graphs, event lists, and machine train diagrams. The Display
software can display, compare, trend, and print current and historical values.
A computer with System 1 Display software can connect to a maximum of 10 different
System 1 Enterprises at the same time. These connections can be local (on the same
computer), over a network, or via remote communications to other locations.

System 1 Management Console Server and Client

The System 1 Management Console (SMC) allows you to manage and monitor the health
of multiple System 1 Enterprises. An Enterprise requires only one SMC Server and an
SMC Client can access multiple SMC Servers. The Enterprise Data Server and License
Server are both configured through the SMC Client.

Enterprise Data Server

The Enterprise Data Server acts as a communication link between many of the System 1
components and permits the File-Based Configuration (FBC) clients to communicate
through a firewall. The Enterprise Data Server must be configured and running in order to
configure licenses and view data. A single Enterprise Data server can manage
communication for only a single Enterprise and only one Enterprise Data Server may reside
on a computer. The Enterprise Data Server is configured from the System 1 Management
Console Client.

License Server
A License Server must be assigned to an Enterprise before licenses can be applied. An
Enterprise must be properly licensed and activated before it starts collecting data. A single
License Server may be assigned to one or more System 1 Enterprises. The License
Server is configured from the System 1 Management Console Client.

12

Section 2 Overview

System Extender Applications

System Extenders enhance the use of System 1 software by adding advanced features or
by allowing System 1 software to interface with other software applications. These
extenders include all of the Data Exporters, the CMMS Interfaces, Smart Notifier, StateBased Analysis, Event Relay card software, and The Bearing Expert software. Decision
Support Studio also provides another System Extender called Rule Logic Results.

Data Exporters
Data Exporters transfer real-time or historical
data from the System 1 software to other
hardware and software products. Always
consult your local representative for the most
current information concerning exporters and
other System 1 components. Currently, the
following exporters are available:

DDE/NetDDE Exporter

OPC Server

Trendmaster Pro DSM

Modbus Exporter

OLE Automation Exporter

The DDE/NetDDE Exporter uses Windows-based Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)

protocol to send System 1 machinery values to other DDE/NetDDE compatible clients.
System 1 software acts as a DDE/NetDDE Server. Microsoft Windows-based software
such as Excel, Word, and Access can all act as DDE/NetDDE clients requesting
machinery values from the System 1 DDE/NetDDE Exporter.
The OLE Automation Exporter uses Windows-based Object Linking and Embedding
(OLE). This is a Microsoft protocol that defines a method of transferring data between
applications The OLE Automation Exporter used with System 1 software uses this
protocol to pass data from the System 1 application to other software applications.
The OLE Automation Exporter currently supports the Bently PERFORMANCE SE, and
the export of System 1 data to Microsoft Excel 2000, or later, spreadsheet
applications.
The OPC Server supports OLE for Process Control (OPC) standards and is a versatile
exporter for many types of Data. OPC is a series of standards specifications that defines a
13

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

standard set of objects, interfaces, and methods for use in process control and other
applications. The OPC Server is compatible with many industry OPC products.
The Trendmaster Pro DSM Modbus Exporter transmits static data to as many as six
third-party applications/hardware that function as Modbus clients.

Computerized Maintenance Management System

The Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) interfaces directly with
MAXIMO or SAP R/3 (up to and including the 4.7 release). Use this tool to link to
plant assets, view work history, and create manual or automated work requests.

Smart Notifier
The Smart Notifier is a stand-alone application that filters and collects System 1 events.
It provides automatic notification and viewing of these events to the responsible personnel
specified for the machinery being monitored.

State-Based Analysis
State-based monitoring provides more sophisticated diagnostics of machines, with the
ability to define machine states that can control data storage, filter plot data, and aid in
correlating process data with machinery data.

Event Relay Card

The Event Relay Notification component can trip a relay in response to an event of a
specified type, severity, and asset location. The Decision Support Manager tool in the
System 1 Configuration software allows you to create this type of notification plan. The
System 1 Data Acquisition program can then communicate with the relay hardware when
an event occurs.

The Bearing Expert

The Bearing Expert software is a database application that allows the user to select
bearing parameters based on manufacturer, model, or dimension of the bearing. The
System 1 Configuration software can also import new bearing models into the database.

Rule Logic Results

Rule Logic Results is a broad term that encompasses all of the ways in which Decision
Support rules can generate outputs (events, calculations, etc.) as results. The Decision
Support software that you use to create these rules and results depends on the type of Rule
Logic Result licenses that you purchase.
14

Section 2 Overview

There are four ways to create rules and results:

1. Using RuleDesk Lite within the System 1 Configuration software
2. Using RuleDesk Pro in Decision Support Studio,
3. Using RuleDesk Developer in Decision Support Studio Developers Edition,
4. Using RulePaks (Advanced or traditional).
Discuss your specific needs with your local sales representative.

menu. To access the tools, select Start, Programs, Bently Nevada, System 1 Tools.

Software Utility Applications

The System 1 platform includes a set of software utility applications. These applications
are support software and are installed (at operator request) during the installation process,
on any computer within your System 1 application. They are launched and executed
independently of any other System 1 software applications. Detailed instructions for
using each tool are included in the System 1 Help.
1. Bently Manual Input (also called System 1 Manual Input) is a software product
that allows a user to enter data directly into their System 1 Enterprise. You might
want specific data, such as pricing and economic data, to be included in your
System 1 database. Using the Bently Manual Input Tool, this data can be entered
manually into the Enterprise historical database.
2. DSM Initialization is a utility that recognizes the Trendmaster Dynamic Scanning
Module, or DSM. This application searches for DSMs on your system and verifies
their location, addresses, and Trendmaster Interface Modules (TIMs). This is a
16

Section 2 Overview

useful utility for new installations or for troubleshooting an existing installation

containing DSMs.
3. DSM Modbus Utility is used to configure the DSM (Dynamic Scanning
Module) for Modbus operation. The DSM must have both a trending
configuration and a Modbus configuration to collect Modbus data.
4. System 1 Database Tools are utilities that allow users to manage their SQL
database files, including both the Enterprise Configuration and Historical database
files. Using these tools, System 1 databases may be moved between computers,
compacted, added to other workstations, and manipulated using many other
operations.
5. System 1 Password allows you to change the passwords for your System 1
installation and guarantee your own security. This can be done after you have
completely installed and verified of your System 1 software platform.
6. TDXnet Test Communication is used to verify communications between the
System 1 workstation and the (initialized) TDXnet CPs.
7. Transient Data Manager Initialization is used to configure the TDXnet
Communications Processors and the Field Monitor Interface Module (FMIM). You
establish IP addresses, Keyphasor transducer parameters, and other operating
conditions of the TDXnet CP using this utility. Note that TDXnet CPs and FMIMs
are configured only through this software interface. Run this initialization
application before running the TDXnet Test Communication utility.
8. File Based Configuration Command Line Utility provides a convenient interface
for running command line file-based configuration operations from a batch file.
This utility sends a previously created .csv (comma separated variable) file to the
Configuration program where points are added or updated. You may also browse
for an Enterprise connection using the standard System 1 Connection dialog if
you don't know the name and location of the Enterprise connection file.
9. API Connection Manager provides a standard interface for creating and
managing the Application Programming Interface (API) Server connections used
by an API client.
10. Event Relay Card Test allows you to locate and communicate with relay cards
and interfaces connected to your System 1 platform.
11. Report Manager enables you to connect to an Enterprise and print reports from
your System 1 platform without installing and using the System 1 Display
Software. This utility gives any computer with access and sufficient Windows
NT permissions the capabilities of scheduling and generating individual reports for
any operator.

Section 2 Overview

System 1 Platform Examples

What Does a System 1 Installation Look Like?
Many System 1 installations are similar to one another in their overall setup. For this
reason, we have defined some best-practice installations that describe the most common
System 1 platforms.

Local System. This refers to a stand-alone System 1 computer not networked to

other System 1 computers.

Distributed Database Network System. This is a type of networked installation

using two or more computers within the System 1 platform.

Centralized Database Network System. This is another type of networked

installation within the System 1 platform.

Wide Area Network System. This is similar to a distributed system, but includes a
firewall.

These are not the only System 1 installations available. System 1 software is very
flexible and may be adapted to fit the specific requirements of most operations.
Contact your local Sales representative to help you design a System 1 platform for your
machinery operations. You can also visit us on the World Wide Web at www.Bently.com.

Local System
This installation represents the minimum components required for a System 1 platform
that utilizes a Snapshot data collector and a 3500 system.
A local System 1 installation requires that all software be installed on a single, standalone computer. This computer must be able to handle all the System 1 applications and
data in a reasonable and timely manner.

19

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

This example has no system extenders, data exporters, or supplemental software installed.
If any of these had been purchased, they would also be installed on the stand-alone
computer.
It is important to plan your System 1 installation carefully, making sure that you
accurately address your current and future machinery monitoring needs.
A Local Installation can be used for a minimal system, such at the one shown here, or for a
maximum installation that includes other machinery data collection. For larger
installations the computer will need to provide more disk storage, additional memory
storage and faster processor speeds to monitor all of the data and information in a timely
manner.

Distributed Database Network System

A Distributed Database Network System has multiple historical databases residing on
multiple computers. In many cases, an historical database will reside on the same Data
Acquisition Server that collects data for that database (although this is not required).
Each database has two database components a configuration database component, and
an historical database component. Each computer with an historical database must also
have SQL Server software installed and operational to manage the database, as well as an
association with a Data Acquisition computer. The configuration database must be located
on computers/workstations where the SQL Server software has also been installed.
20

Section 2 Overview

Each historical database is associated with a single configuration database. Because

System 1 automatically locates the existing historical databases associated with a
particular enterprise when the enterprise connection is made; you do not need to remember
which databases are associated with which enterprises.

Any workstation in this Distributed Database Network example may have any System 1
software installed. The workstation acting as a Data Acquisition Server for the Snapshot
portable data collector could also contain the System 1 Configuration and/or Display
Software. Depending on licensing and the needs of the installation, many combinations of
software, hardware, database structures, remote access, and network configurations are
possible.
Optional System 1 software products, such as Decision Support and Bently
PERFORMANCE SE, often specify that they must be installed on a particular computer
or workstation type, or that they require a license key or other form of licensing before
they can be activated. It is always best to make sure that you have all of the components
needed to install your System 1 platform before you start building your installation, and
that they are properly licensed.
21

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

License Agreement
The License Agreement for System 1 software, System 1 Extenders, and other platform
products is available for review in several locations. Licenses for specific System 1
components depend on the System 1 product packages you have purchased.
You can find a current copy of the software license agreement in the following locations:
1. Displayed on your computer before installation.
2. In the About dialog in the Help drop-down menu of some applications.

Upgrading Licenses
Contact your Service Representative to upgrade your pre-6.0 licenses, or if you require
additional licensing for your installation.

22

Section 3 Installation

Section 2 - Installation
Creating a System 1 installation is an involved procedure. We strongly recommend that a
qualified Service Representative perform the installation and verification of your
System 1 platform. Their expertise assures a complete and operational
installation.

The System 1 installation process can require the installation of many software
applications. For network installations, an understanding of the functions of each server and
workstation is necessary to make sure the correct software is installed. Use the following
procedure for a first-time installation, for updating an existing installation, or for reinstalling a single software application.

Planning Your System 1 Installation

Whether your System 1 installation is a single workstation (also called a local or standalone installation) or a networked installation with remote terminals and workstations in
different locations, it is a good idea to plan ahead.
Each computer or workstation in a System 1 installation can have single or multiple
functions. Different hardware and software are needed for each computer depending on the
function of the computer within the System 1 platform.

Local Installation
For a minimum or local System 1 installation, a single computer can have many
functions:

SQL Server

Configuration

Server

Workstation

Database Server

Server

Display

Workstation

Enterprise Data

System 1
Management Console

24

Data Acquisition

License Server

Section 3 Installation

Network Installation
For a network installation, different computers on the network are used for one or more
functions. The following example shows each type of System 1 computer. A description
of each computer type and the hardware and software required for its use follows.

25

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Enterprise Configuration
Server:

This computer is primarily for database management and stores the databases for the
System 1 platform. The presence of one or more Historical and/or Configuration
databases requires that this computer also be an SQL Server.
We also highly recommend that the System 1 Management Console Server, Enterprise
Data Server, and License Server be installed on this computer.
This computer requires the following hardware and software:

1.

Minimum computer requirements for the Data Acquisition/Database Server (large

system for most installations). Refer to page 31.

2.

System 1 Database Software.

3.

Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded SQL Server 2000 for installations prior
to version 6.12. Microsoft Standard Edition SQL Server 2000 or 2005 is required
for System 1 software version 6.12 and greater. Both versions have an embedded
(called the Desktop Engine for SQL 2000 and the Express Edition for SQL 2005)
version that is available on the System 1 installation CD-ROM.
The embedded version is suitable for use with System 1 installations that collect
data from portable data collectors, but limits the size of the historical database for
all the points to 2 GB (4 GB for the 2005 Express Edition). If you need more than
2 GB (4 GB for the 2005 Express Edition) of space for the historical database use
the Standard Edition. The Standard Edition SQL Server software is required for
online monitoring System 1 installations and is available as a purchased option.

26

4.

The proper number of SQL Server Client Access Licenses (CALs). One license is
required for each computer that accesses a SQL Server.

5.

System 1 Management Console (SMC) Server.

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Extenders, or other devices. Every installation has at least one default Data Acquisition
Server, and this server must be the one configured for portable data collection.
This computer is used as a Data Acquisition Server and as an Historical Data Server (as a
result of the presence of an Historical database).
The hardware and software requirements are the same as those shown for the Data
Acquisition Server, with the following additions:
1. RS-232 serial communication port on the computer. In general, one of the COM
ports available on most computers can be used. This port is required only if you
are collecting data with the Snapshot data collector or other designated portable
data collector. You may also connect Snapshot data collectors via an Ethernet
network connection.
2. Snapshot DCM with licenses installed for the appropriate number of points
(2000, 5000, 10000, 20000). Snapshot points are additive. These licenses are
required only if you are collecting data with the Snapshot data collector or other
portable data collector.
Example
Two 2000-point licenses would include capabilities for 4000 Snapshot DCMconfigured points, regardless of the number of Snapshot units in use.

defined for this server, such as DDE or online monitoring.

28

Section 3 Installation

System 1 Workstation

(Display):

A System 1 Workstation can have one or more functions. This example is used for
System 1 Display Software. As a Display workstation, the computer can connect to a
locally configured Enterprise or it can connect to an unlimited number of Enterprises on a
network and display data from up to 10 Enterprises simultaneously. A Display workstation
is independent and is not tied to a specific Enterprise configuration, a specific Data
Acquisition server, or a specific System 1 platform. This computer requires the following
hardware and software:
1. Minimum computer requirements for the System 1 Workstation.
2. System 1 Display Software.
3. Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded SQL Server software 2000 for System 1
versions prior to 6.12. Microsoft Standard Edition or Express Edition SQL 2000 or
2005 software for System 1 version 6.12 and greater. You may use the embedded
version of SQL Server included on the System 1 Installation CD-ROM (if this

This computer requires the hardware and software described for the System 1
workstation with the following additions:
1. System 1 Configuration Software.
2. System 1 Display Software.

Historical Data Server:

This server collects and stores historical data. The Historical database on this station may
be used exclusively by the Snapshot PDC (Portable Data Collector) or it may be used by
a variety of hardware and software data collection products.
This computer requires the following hardware and software:
1. Minimum computer requirements for the Data Acquisition Server (small or large
system depending on the number of points in the Historical database).
2. System 1 Database Software.
3. System 1 Data Acquisition Software.
4. Microsoft Standard Edition or embedded 2000 or Server software 2000 for System

embedded edition may only be used on installations collecting portable data when
there are 2000 or fewer points AND when data storage needs are less then 2
Gigabytes (4 Gigabytes if using SQL Server 2005) of data.

30

Section 3 Installation

Hardware and Software Requirements

Each type of computer in a System 1 installation must satisfy minimum hardware and
software requirements. The best practice requirements are described here, along with
notes about the use of each computer. Because hardware and software are continuously
changing, it is important to verify your computer selections with your local Bently Nevada
Representative to guarantee you have the latest information. You may also view system
specification on the worldwide web at www.bently.com.
Different computer configurations have been defined System 1 platform:

System 1 Workstation (also called the Configuration/Display workstation)

Mid-range Data Acquisition/Database Server

End User High Performance Data Acquisition Platform

This section explains hardware specifications for these computers along with the possible
uses that these workstations would accommodate. It is important for you to select the right
workstation for the functions it will be performing. Remember that computer
specifications are constantly changing and the best resource to identify your needs is your
local Sales Representative.

System 1 Workstation:
A System 1 Workstation could be used as:

A Display only computer

A Configuration only computer

A Display and Configuration computer

A Data Acquisition/Database computer for a small System 1 installation

(Snapshot for Windows CE or other portable data collection with 2000 or
fewer points)

Mid-range Data Acquisition/Database Server Workstation:

These systems are recommended for larger network installations when multiple computers
will be using different System 1 software. The difference between the large and small
systems is the difference between a single processor and a dual processor. The dual
processor supports simultaneous processing so that the server computer can accommodate
multiple tasks more effectively. This ensures faster access and optimal System 1
operation. Hardware and software requirements for System 1 workstations will change as
the System 1 product changes and grows. It is better to buy the best workstation you can
afford, make sure that you can upgrade any products you buy, and that the products are
compatible with other components in your installation.
31

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Installing System 1 Software

If you are installing all or part of the System 1 software remotely (you are at one terminal
and the software is at another), the installation requires that you Map Network Drive to
the CD-ROM drive or location of the software before proceeding with the installation.
Sharing the CD-ROM Drive will not work without mapping a drive to the share. You can
map the drive from inside the Windows Explorer by selecting Tools, Map Network Drive
and then browsing to the appropriate computer and folder of the installation software.

Prerequisites for System 1 Software Installation

The System 1 Software requires several hardware and software applications to be
installed and operational on the computer workstation. During installation the System 1
installation program will verify that the prerequisite software is present for the System 1
components that you are installing. The installation program will then indicate which
prerequisites will be installed. In general, many of these prerequisites will be installed
from Disc 1 of the System 1 software. However, there are some instances where you
may be asked to install certain prerequisites yourself. This is usually due to licensing
considerations from third party vendors or prerequisite licensing that you must already
own to be able to install the software. The current requirements include:

Internet Explorer 5.01

The Internet Explorer Browser is used to access online Help and various Internet sites.
If Internet Explorer is not present, or if the version is not 5.01 or greater, it is installed
from the System 1 software CDs.

MDAC 2.8
This is an application called Microsoft Data Access Component (MDAC). SQL Server
software and the System 1 software use this application to aid in the management of
databases. If MDAC is not present, version 2.8 is installed from the System 1
software CDs.

TCP/IP Communications
This communications protocol must be installed on the Database workstation. The
presence of TCP/IP communications is verified by registry entries, not by actual
communications testing. The correct operation of this protocol in a network setting
should be verified independently of the System 1 software.
32

Section 3 Installation

SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4

(5.0 through 6.+ versions of System 1 software)
Either the Standard Edition or the embedded edition must be installed. If SQL Server
is not installed, you may install the embedded version from the System 1 installation
CD or you may exit System 1 installation and install the Standard Edition of SQL
Server 2000 with Service Pack 4 (see SQL Server on page 37). The software may be
purchased from Bently Nevada with your System 1 Software, or it may be purchased
from another vendor. In either case, it is important that you purchase the Standard
Edition for a Windows Server computer and ensure that you are properly licensed for
your installation.

SQL Server 2005 (for System 1 versions 6.12 and greater)

(SQL Server 2000 may be used with System 1 version 6.12, but SQL Server
2005 should only be used for System 1 versions 6.12 or greater)
Either the Standard Edition or the embedded edition (Express Edition) must be
installed. If SQL Server is not installed, you may install the embedded version from
the System 1 installation CD or you may exit System 1 installation and install the
Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005 (see SQL Server on page 37). The software may
be purchased with your System 1 Software, or it may be purchased from another
vendor. In either case, it is important that you purchase the Standard Edition for a
Windows Server computer and ensure that you are properly licensed for your
installation.
Note: SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 may be
used with versions 5.0 through 6.+ of the System 1
software. However you may lose access to your data
file if you switch from SQL version 2005 to version
2000. Upgrading from version 2000 to version 2005
will not affect your database access.

Microsoft SQLXML 3.0

This is an exporter program that allows System 1 to quickly export XML formatted
data from SQL databases.

Windows XP Service Pack 1 (for Windows XP operating systems)

This is an upgrade for the Windows XP operating system. System 1 non-server
software can operate on Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1. The Data
Acquisition Server software requires the Windows Server 2003 operating system.

33

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

The System installation program checks the operating system for installation of Service
Pack 4. If the service pack not present, you will be prompted for permission to install
the missing service pack. System 1 will install the required service pack and then
proceed with the System 1 software installation.

Optimize SQL Server Memory Usage (SQL 2000 only)

When the SQL Server software is left in its default installation mode it dynamically
allocates memory usage. This means that SQL expands its memory usage until there is
virtually no memory available for other applications to use. If memory usage is
optimized, System 1 will calculate the total amount of memory available and allocate
a minimum of 128 Kbytes and a maximum of 50% of the total computer memory for
SQL. This allows a more even distribution of memory resources at the workstation.
Note: If you elect NOT to optimize the SQL Server Memory
usage, be aware that you could experience delays in
collecting and processing your System 1 data.

.NET Framework version 1.1 and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1
This is a programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building, deploying, and
running applications and services, such as desktop applications and Web services, that
use .NET technologies. .NET Framework is required to install System 1 API, Data
Acquisition, and Web Display. If this framework is not installed on your system, the
System 1 Installation program will add it as part of the install process.

.NET Framework version 2.0

Required for System 1 version 6.12 and greater or any installations using Microsoft
SQL 2005. This is a programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building,
deploying, and running applications and services, such as desktop applications and
Web services that use .NET technologies. .NET Framework is required to install
System 1 API, Data Acquisition, and Web Display. If this framework is not installed
on your system, the System 1 Installation program will add it as part of the install
process. There are some incompatibilities with .NET 2.0 and Web Display software.
See the Web Display installation instructions for more information.

Java Virtual Machine (VM)

This is a Java interpreter and runtime environment required to run compiled Java code.
CMMS bridge installations require JavaVM. If this interpreter is not installed on your
system, the System 1 Installation program adds it as part of the install process.

Administrator Logon - New Local Account

The Windows Operating Systems require you to log on as an administrator or as a user
with full administrative privileges to perform most of the procedures required for a System
1 installation.

Application Advisory:
Security management within System 1 software can be complicated. The
Windows operating systems, Microsoft SQL Server, and System 1 software all
require security privileges. This installation tries to simplify this process by
providing you with a procedure that works and allows you to operate your
System 1 installation with minimum established security.
As you become familiar with the operation of System 1 applications and the
different types of access (both through the System 1 software and the Windows
operating system), we encourage you to take the time to plan your system
security to best meet the needs of your operation.
For more detailed information, refer to the Security Manager topic in the
Configuration Book of the online Help.

New Local Account:

We highly recommend that the Database Server be installed first in any System 1
installation, as a System 1 installation requires the addition of a new local account on the
Database Server computer. The System 1 installation automatically creates this account
during installation without notifying the user. However, the new local account name SYSTEM1ADMIN - appears in the operating system Account Manager. Do not remove
46

Section 3 Installation

this account, as System 1 uses it to establish communications between System 1

components.
The installation software creates this account with administrative privileges. Do not
remove this account or change its privileges. Once your System 1 installation is
complete, you may (and should) change the password for this account and the SQL Server
account to meet your security standards.

New Local Group:

A System 1 installation requires the addition of a new local group on the Database
Server computer. System 1 automatically establishes this group during installation
without notifying the user. The new local group name - SYSTEM1GROUP - appears in
the operating system Account Manager. Do not remove this group as certain services
operate within it.
A Local Account and a Local Group are only recognized by the computer on which they
are established. Neither of these will affect your existing computer operation.
Note: After you have installed and verified your System 1
operation, you have the opportunity to change the password for
the SYSTEM1ADMIN account and the SQL Server account to
better secure your operation.

System 1 Installation Procedure

Installation overview
The major steps involved in installing the System 1 platform:
1. Log on to the computer as an Administrator or as a user with full administrative
privileges.
2. Insert the first installation CD. If the installation program does not start automatically,
start it manually launching setup.exe..
3. Read the license agreement and select the directory where you want to install the
System 1 software.
4. Choose to either upgrade an existing version of the System 1 installation or to add
new components (this is also the selection for a new installation).
5. Select the System 1 components that you wish to install or upgrade. The list of
components displayed depends upon the type of installation option (add or upgrade)
chosen earlier.

47

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

6. A list of prerequisites is displayed. Any unchecked prerequisites must be installed

before any System 1 software can be installed. Most of the prerequisites will launch
their own installation from the prerequisite discs. Each time one is installed, you will
need to restart the System 1 installation program (starting at step 2) to launch the next
prerequisite.
7.
8. After all of the prerequisites have completed, the System 1 installation will continue.
Following the System1 installation (it can take 30 minutes to a few hours depending on
your requirements), restart the computer. If you are not prompted to restart, do it
manually. We recommend a full power down and power up before launching the
System 1 software following an installation or upgrade.

Detailed Steps for System 1 Installation

An installation of the System 1 version 6.12 software should be made over an existing
installation (if one exists). Do not uninstall any System 1 components. Also, before
installing version 6.12 over an existing installation, make sure you have upgraded you SQL
Server software to 2005.
Note: System 1 software version 6.12 will operate with SQL Server 2000
Service Pack 4 or with SQL Server 2005. If SQL Server 2000 is already
installed, it is not necessary to install or upgrade to SQL Server 2005
before installing the System 1 software.

1. Log onto the computer as the administrator or as a user with full administrative
privileges.
Logging onto the installation computer as a user without administrative
privileges may cause problems with Windows Operating System, SQL
Server, and/or System 1 security. It is important to have full
administrative privileges throughout the System 1 software installation
process.

2. Exit any software applications, especially any Bently Nevada applications currently
running on the computer.
3.

23. At the end of a new installation, you will be prompted to optimize the SQL Server
memory usage setting (for SQL 2000 installations only).
56

Section 3 Installation

24. When the SQL Server software is left in its default installation mode, it
dynamically allocates memory usage. This means that SQL will expand its memory
usage until virtually no memory remains for other applications to use. If you select
Yes to the question, the System 1 software will calculate the total amount of
memory available and then allocate up to 50% of the total computer memory to be
used by SQL. A minimum of 128 Kbytes is required. This allows a more even
distribution of memory resources at the workstation.

Guidelines for Updating Your Software

Updating Demonstration and Enterprise Databases
If you are upgrading your System 1 software from an earlier version, you will need to
update both your current Enterprise databases and Demonstration databases for them to be
compatible with the updated version of the System 1 application. You will be given the
opportunity to update your databases during this installation process. However, due to the
large amount of time required for this update process, we recommend that you update
your databases after your installation is completed. Use the Database Tools to update or
perform other utility functions on your existing System 1 databases.

Updating Database Software

Database Software updates may be installed without removing earlier versions of the same
software. If you remove an earlier version of the Database Software you will also be
removing the current registry entries for your Enterprise database files. These can be
restored later using the Database Tools utility software.

60

Section 3 Verification
It is important to check your System 1 installation at this time. The verification
process uses the Demonstration database (included with your System 1 software) and
allows you to verify that the various System 1 modules can communicate with each
other and with the SQL Server. The basic verification process will ensure that:
1.

The System 1 Management Console Server is correctly installed and accessible to

the System 1 Management Console Client.

2.

The Enterprise Data Server is correctly installed and can run.

3.

The License Server is correctly installed and evaluation licenses can be assigned to
the Demonstration Enterprise.

4.

The Configuration Software is correctly installed and is capable of connecting to a

Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database.

5.

The Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database can be modified to specify

the location of the Demonstration Historical database and the Data Acquisition
computer.

6.

The Data Acquisition Software is correctly installed and can be linked to the
Demonstration Enterprise Configuration and Historical databases.

7.

The System 1 Display Software is correctly installed and can:

a.

Connect to the Demonstration Enterprise Configuration database

b.

Communicate with the System 1 Data Acquisition Software

c.

Retrieve current status, current values, and historical data from the System 1
Data Acquisition Software and the Demonstration Historical database.
Note: The Verification Procedure must be executed in the
order presented. Several steps in the Configuration
Verification section will prepare the installation to allow you
to successfully verify the System 12 software.
Note: Not all of the System 1 applications and interfaces
are tested with this verification process. Individual
applications are explained and demonstrated in the online
Help system for the System 1 platform. Use the
information from Help to configure and execute additional
software applications, exporters, importers and interfaces.

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

62

Section 5 -- Verification

Demonstration Database
To help you verify and familiarize yourself with your System 1 installation, the
System 1 software provides a demonstration Enterprise. To use this feature, you must
select the Demonstration database when you select the System 1 components that you
want installed.
You may make changes to the Demonstration database, and are encouraged to use it to
view features and functions of the System 1 software. System 1 will keep any
changes saved to the Demonstration database as part of the Demonstration database.
The Demonstration Database is called DemoVersionX, where X represents the current
release of the software. Two databases are necessary: the DemoVersionX
Configuration database (named DemoVersionX_Config), and the Historical Database
(named DemoVersionX_Historical).

63

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Notes and Considerations

Licensing Considerations
Client Access License for Microsoft SQL Server:
It is important to have the proper licensing for each computer in your System 1
platform. A Client Access License (also called a CAL) is required for any computer that
communicates with an SQL server. This licensing may be purchased either bundled or
individually from Bently Nevada, or may be part of a separate purchase agreement or
contract with Microsoft corporation.

System 1 Licensing:
System 1 licensing requires that you read the agreement when you install the
software products. You CANNOT ACCEPT the licensing without scrolling through the
text and ACCEPTing the terms and conditions. Read the conditions carefully.

System 1 Web Display Software can be accessed on any workstation, laptop, or computer
and used to access a System 1 Enterprise. This web-based application uses the Internet or
Intranet capabilities of Microsoft Internet Explorer software and .NET framework to allow
you to access data values within the System 1 platform.
Microsoft .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting information,
people, systems, and devices. It enables a high level of software integration through the use
of Web servicessmall, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other as
well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.
Incompatibilities between .NET Framework 2.0 and System 1
Web Display (all versions) may cause problems with your Web
Display operation. Complete instructions to work around this
problem are documented in the folder C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Bently Nevada\Web Display folder.
This feature can be extremely useful to operations, maintenance, diagnostics, and other
personnel because it gives them the information they desire without requiring them to
install all of the components necessary for a System 1 Display workstation. It also does
not require them to be a member of the Enterprise Domain of the System 1 software, nor
even a group user within the System 1 platform.
If you have the proper security to access a System 1 platform, AND you have Internet or
Intranet access via a network, modem, high-speed cable, wireless, or other connection, then
you have the necessary components for using Web Display to view System 1 data values.

84

Section 6 Web Display

Plan System 1 Web Display Server Installation

In most cases the Web Display Server is a separate computer from the one on which the
System 1 Data Acquisition software is installed. This server must have access to the Data
Acquisition software and to the System 1 Database(s) for the Enterprise(s) you will
access using the Web Display software.
In installations where clients do not connect to servers through the Internet the Web
Display Server can also be the Data Acquisition Server. But for installations where clients
connect to servers through the Internet, the Web Display Server and DAQ Server should be
separate computers for security reasons.
This graphic shows several different types of communications that may be used with the
Web Display software.

If Web Display Clients will be accessing the Web Display Server through the Internet, we
recommend installing the Web Display Server on a different computer than the one on
which the System 1 Data Acquisition (DAQ) is running. After selecting a computer that
meets the minimum hardware requirements, follow these steps to install the Web Display
Server.

Installation Steps

1. Install Microsoft Internet

Information Server (IIS).

2. Install System 1 Web

Display Server.

Details

a. Locate the Operating System installation media.

b. Run the installation for adding Windows
Components.
c. Select the Internet Information Services (IIS)
component.
d. Complete the installation.

a. Run the System 1 installation.

b. Select the Web Display Server.
Note: Select only the Web Display Server for
installation if this is a separate installation. i.e. a
standalone client.

c. Install prerequisite software. The .NET

framework is required before the Web Display
Server can be installed.
d. Complete the installation for Web Display Server.
3. Set up the Web Display
Server.

88

At the end of the Web Display Server installation, you will

be asked if you want to create a Web Enterprise. See the
Web Server Setup section for more details.

Section 6 Web Display

Setup the Web Display Server

The following steps describe how you can set up a Web Display Enterprise Server that
supplies data from a System 1 Enterprise to Web Display clients. Many of these steps are
required when a new user is added to the system.

Create a Web Enterprise

You can create a new Web Display Enterprise with the Web Display Enterprise Creation
Utility. Launch this utility after you complete the Web Display Server installation. At any
other time, the Web Display Enterprise Creation Utility can also be accessed from the
System 1 Tools menu via the Start, Programs menu.
This utility creates the files and folders for a Web Display Enterprise from a System 1
Enterprise. Specify a System 1 Enterprise and then click the Create a New Enterprise
button to create the files and folders that make up a Web Display Enterprise.

89

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

If an SQL Server has been installed, you can simply Browse for the existing Enterprise
configuration database and obtain the identifying information automatically.
Note: If the properties of your System 1 Platform do not match
the information you type in, you will need to use this utility again
to make appropriate changes the Web Display Enterprise.

Add or Remove Web Display Users in System 1 Enterprise

Before any user can log on to the Web Enterprise, the administrator must add user accounts
via the Security Manager. User accounts can be added and removed from the Security
Manager as needed. The Security Manager is a tool that is accessed from System 1
Configuration. The following instructions explain how to add a user account for the Web
Display.
1. Select Security Manager... from the Tools menu in System 1 Configuration.

2. Select the Users tab.

3. Clear the Windows Authentication checkbox. This means that the user will access
the System 1 Enterprise by a method OTHER than through Windows.
4. Type the User Name and Password for the user account.
5. Click the Add User button. This will add the user account to the System 1 Users
list.

90

Section 6 Web Display

Note: Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration

before you close and exit from the Security Manager. This must
be done before the newly added Web Display users are allowed
to access the Web Enterprise. When a new user is added, you
will need to wait for the period specified by the DAQ Polling
Interval before the user is able to log in.

Add User Groups to System 1 Enterprise

Adding Groups is one method of organizing user accounts that have the same access rights.
It also simplifies the process of changing user access rights. Instead of changing the access
rights for each individual user account, the access rights for a group of users can be
changed once. It is helpful to create groups for your Web Display user accounts.
1. Select Security Manager... from the Tools menu in System 1 Configuration.

91

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

2. Select the Groups tab.

3.
4.
5.
6.

92

Click the Add button.

Type in a name for the group.
Click OK.
Move user accounts from the System 1 Users list into the group. They should be
shown in the Members of Group list.

Section 6 Web Display

Note: Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration

before you close and exit from the Security Manager. This must
be done before the newly added Web Display users are able to
access the Web Enterprise.

Assign Access Rights to Web Display Users in the System

1 Enterprise
Each Web Display user account that is added has the access right that allows the users (who
belong to the User Account) to View Software Configuration and View Data. This
access right allows them to view data, alarms, and events with Web Display. It does NOT
permit them to acknowledge the alarms and events or make changes in the Journal Editor.
In order to acknowledge alarms and events, you must give them the Acknowledge
Alarms/Events right or include them into a group that has this right enabled. To add,
remove, or modify journal entries in the Journal Editor, a user account needs the Edit
Software Configuration access right. None of the other access rights are applicable to
Web Display user accounts.
93

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

The following graphic shows a group called "Plant Operators" selected in the
Users/Groups list. This group has been given both the View Software Configuration and
View Data and the Acknowledge Alarms/Events access rights. Any user added to this
group acquires the same access rights as those for the group.

Note: Verify that you have saved the Enterprise configuration

before you close and exit from the Security Manager. This must
be done before the newly added Web Display users are able to
access the Web Enterprise.
When new access rights are assigned, you will have to wait for
the period specified by the DAQ Polling Interval before the
access rights can take effect.

Set the Web Page Security for Web Display Users with the Page Security Manager.

94

Section 6 Web Display

Each web page on the Web Enterprise site has its own security settings. An Information
Technology (IT) or Network Administrator should extablish these security settings when
the Web Server is first set up.
In the following example, the Page Security Manager and Profile Manager pages have been
selected. Clicking the Configure Security For Selected Page(s) button opens a dialog that
allows the Administrator to grant or deny access to this selected page for every individual
user that has been established for this Web Enterprise installation.

Page Security User Access

This dialog allows you to determine which user accounts can access the web pages that are
listed at the top of the screen. Click the Configure Security For Selected Page(s) button in
the Page Security Manager to display this dialog. The user accounts that are shown in the
All Users list are users that you added to the Enterprise configuration database using the
Security Manager Tool in the System 1 Configuration application.
In this example, the Administrator has chosen the Allow Selected Users option. This
option allows specific users to access the pages listed at the top of the screen. To specify
95

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

users from the All Users list, select them, and click the right arrow button [>] to move them
to the Selected Users pane on the right. Click the Submit button to save the changes.

Note: If you select either of the Selected Users options, the

default settings for this page will allow/deny access to the list of
Selected Users that you specify. Any new user accounts that you
add to the Enterprise configuration database in the future will
have the OPPOSITE of this access since they were not among
the Selected Users that you originally specified.

Set Preferences for a Group of Users with the Profile

Manager
The Profile Manager allows an Administrator or other Manager to create groups of users
and set the preferences for them. This includes the Partitioning Preference that determines
the parts of the Enterprise that members of the profile may view by default.
To add a new profile for a group of users:
1. Type in a name for the profile in the edit field.
2. Click the Add New Profile button. The profile is added to the list of profiles.
3. Click the Add/Remove Users link. This link launches a page that allows you to add
users to the profile.
96

Section 6 Web Display

After you identify the users for a profile, a preferences page is displayed. Edit the
preferences and set the partitioning preferences to determine those parts of the Enterprise
that the users in the profile should be able to see.

Profile Add/Remove Users

Use this dialog page to determine which user accounts are a part of the selected profile.
Move user accounts from the All Users list to the Current Members of Profile list to add
them to or remove them from the profile. After you do this, click the Configure Profile
button at the bottom to set the preferences for the profile.
Note: When you add a user to a profile, that user will be
removed from any previous profile.

97

System 1 Installation Quick Start Guide for Version 6.12

Profile Preferences
The options in the Profile Manager Configuration page are identical to those in an
individual users Preferences Manager page except for four additional check box options.
If any of these options are checked and a user in the profile changes these preferences, the
users will no longer be a part of the profile. This allows the Administrator to enforce users
access rights to data.

Verify Web Display Client Access.

This step, although very simple, is also very critical. If your end-users are not able to
access their Web Display Enterprise for ANY reason, it will seem that the entire process has
failed even if it is for something as simple as their computer not having the Microsoft
.NET framework software installed.
Ensure that the client computers have the required software.
Note: Users without the .NET framework will be forwarded
automatically to the Prerequisites Download page.

The Microsoft .NET framework is available as a free download from the Internet. You can
also install it from the Prerequisite Download page.
Verify that client computers can successfully log on to the Web Display Enterprise.
Use the security utility available from the Prerequisites Download page to ensure that the
client computers have established a trust with the Web Server. Load the Classical View
page to verify this.

98

Section 6 Web Display

Setup a Web Display Client

Prerequisites
The Web Display Client Setup is simple if

the client computer meets the software requirements, and

the client computer has access to the web server over a network connection.
Note: Do not proceed with the Setup Instructions below if the
client computer does not meet the above requirements.

Setup Instructions
Connect the client computer to the System 1 Web Server
