 ZOOM ®

Processing Unit
Multi-channel Data Acquisition and
Processing Instrumentation

Application
• On-line condition and alarm monitoring of
dynamic and status parameters on hydrogenerators.

Description
The ZOOM Processing Unit (ZMPU) enables simultaneous
® Sampling, Trending, and Alarm measurements);
monitoring of multiple parameters for hydrogenerators.
It performs various types of measurements in automatic and
manual modes, processes data, checks alarm conditions and
transmits data to ZOOM Controller. The ZMPU is compati-
ble with previous AGMS and ZOOM acquisition unit models.
It accepts up to 9 dynamic inputs (one air gap + a mix of air gap,
displacement, vibration, etc.) and up to 32 machine status
inputs (MW, MVAR, temperature, rpm, etc.). Interconnection
of more ZMPU extends monitoring range and capabilities.
The ZMPU wall-mounted enclosure is installed up to 100 m
(328 ft) outside the generator.
Various peripherals enhance the ZMPU functionality:
ZOOM Extension Unit, STATE Extension Unit, ZOOM-ALARM
Extension Unit, SELECT-100 Conditional Alarm Controller,
and EXTRIG External Trigger of Alarm.
Features
• Performs synchronized measurements of connected
parameters from standstill to runaway speed in
automatic and manual modes (Signature, Pole,
• Accepts: - one air gap input,
- up to 8 dynamic inputs
(air gap, vibration, displacement, etc.),
- up to 32 machine status inputs
(MW, MVAR, temp., rpm, level, etc.),
- one external trigger input;
• Continuous alarm monitoring of all inputs with
user-defined dual-alarm thresholds:
- trigger Alarm measurements (user-defined number
of turns pre- and post- alarm occurence),
- warn of alarm conditions over a computer network
and via optional annunciation relays;
• Isolated RS-485 communication link;
• Fully compatible with previous AGMS and
ZOOM acquisition unit models.

 ZOOM-Alarm
Extension Unit
Annunciation Relays for
Dynamic Parameter Inputs

Applications
• Interfaces with annunciation devices to warn of
alarm conditions (NOT FOR MACHINE TRIP)
• Triggers remote alarm signal in the control room
and/or unit panel

Description
The ZOOM-ALARM Extension Unit (AEU) purpose is to
warn operations/maintenance personnel of alarm conditions
on air gap and high speed parameters. Its relay outputs can
be used to ring a bell or flash a light in the alarm panel of
the control room.
Each AGMS or ZOOM Processing Unit monitors all inputs
for alarms against user-set thresholds (Alert/Danger) even
when the Controller is off line. When a threshold is breached
for three consecutive rotations, the system sends a trig-
gering signal to the appropriate relay module in the AEU.
The AEU consist of one or two sets of up to 16 relays (8 pairs
of Alert/Danger) mounted on a backplane. Each backplane
is associated to separate AGMS or ZOOM Processing
Units. The wall-mounted metallic enclosure is located
nearby or up to 100 m (300 ft) from its associated
Processing Units. Each relay module contains conditioning
circuitry and a SPDT relay.
Features
• 2-level annunciation system with dedicated relays for
warning purpose (Alert / Danger) per air gap
(AGMS®) or high speed (ZOOM®) input
• Accepts up to 16 pairs of module (Alert / Danger)
• SPDT dry contacts
• Connects to one or two AGMS or ZOOM
Processing Units
• Continuous alarm monitoring performed by
AGMS or ZOOM Processing Unit even when
the system controller or software is turned off
• Modular configuration permits simple customization
and upgrade
• Input isolation up to 2500 VRMS

 STATE-100
Extension Unit
Signal Conditioning of
Machine Status Parameters for
AGMS and ZOOM Systems

Description
The STATE-100 Extension Unit purpose is to interface
with slow evolving machine parameters for which there is
only a need for status information rather than dynamic
behavior measurement. When taking measurements, the
AGMS or ZOOM Processing Unit records one average
value of each input per machine rotation. User-defined
alarm thresholds per input permits to trigger Alarm mea-
surements.
The extension is housed in a wall-mounted metallic
enclosure located up to 100 m (300 ft) away from its
associated AGMS or ZOOM Processing Unit. It accepts
up to 32 inputs, one of which can be an EXTRIG input
from the machine master trip relay for external trigger of
Alarm measurement.
A wide range of input modules is available to condition
various analog (SA series modules) and digital signals
(SD series modules).
Applications
• Direct interface with a wide variety of
low speed (slow evolving, quasi-static) inputs and
AGMS® or ZOOM® Systems
• Machine status information for correlating with air gap
and other dynamic parameters, for trending, and
for triggering alarm measurements.
Features
• Accepts up to 32 inputs
• Accepts one EXTRIG input from Master Trip Relay or
SCADA for external triggering or Alarm measurements
• Choice of signal conditioning modules to accept
a wide variety of analog (SA series) and
digital (SD series) input signals
• Alarm measurement triggering capability
• Modular configuration provides great flexibility to
tailor the system for different installations
• Input isolation:
- Analog: up to 1500 VAC
- Digital: up to 4000 VRMS

The various modules are designed to configure and control
the system, take automatic and test measurements, manage
database and perform graphical data analysis. It operates
on a single PC or over a shared network of workstations.
Parameter correlation, advanced analysis and graphic
display show the true dynamic condition and behavior
of an hydrogenerator. This machine knowledge is basic in
