Recommended Bently Practices

System 1 23.1 allows users to review important machine properties and waveform/spectrum
configuration in the same dialog, making it quick and easy to validate configurations. In thesame dialog, users can apply new waveform/spectrum property values recommended as per
Bently Standards. This feature saves time and automatic configuration ensures accuracy.

3.1.2 Export/Import Machine properties
System 1 23.1 enables users to export machine properties to a Microsoft Excel file, update theproperties in the exported file, and then import it back into System 1. This file-based configuration
feature enables users to configure machine properties offline. Ensure the basic components ofthe machine trains are configured in System 1 before exporting the properties.

System 1 23.1 now displays Sub-Systems in the Asset Library in Standard Mode in Configure tab.
Sub-Systems can be added under an existing asset. Also, when a new asset is added from thelibrary, System 1 automatically adds its associated sub-systems under the asset as shown in

3.1.4 Map Machine Points
System 1 23.1 allows users to export machine points to a CSV file. Users can add OPC and Modbus
points using Tag name and Server/IP address in the exported CSV file. After importing the file
into System 1, Machine points get mapped with the Device points. This functionality is supported
on Database, Group, Machine Train, and Machine nodes in the Machine hierarchy.

Replication Enhancements
3.2.1 Backwards Compatibility
System 1 on a Replicated (Rx) server is compatible with databases from prior three System 1 releases,
which enables you to upgrade System 1 on the Rx server without the need to upgrade Rx databaseor interrupt replication. For example, System 1 version 23.1 on a replicated server is compatible with
databases from System 1 versions 22.2, 22.1, and 21.2.

Figure 3.2-1 Client-Server and Tx-Rx version compatibility.
Rx databases can be upgraded only up to the version of their associated Tx database. Therefore, it
is recommended to upgrade the Tx database before upgrading the Rx database. Even if Rx
databases are “out of sync” with their associated Tx version, data continues to replicate, except for
the following items:oConfiguration changes,oCustom templates, andoSystem health events.

These items resume replication after the Rx version is upgraded to match the Tx version.

3.3.1 Alarm Quick Configuration tool available on Rx
System 1 23.1 has extended the use of the Alarm Quick Configuration tool to Rx databases. Users can
now configure setpoints that are not available on the Tx, and therefore locked for editing, using theAlarm Quick Configuration tool and create Rx setpoints.

3.3.2 Added Constant to Statistical Setpoints Calculation
System 1 23.1 has introduced a new Constant (C) value to the statistical calculation used by theAlarm Quick Configuration tool. The constant C has been added to the end of the calculator forboth Over and Under setpoints. For Over and Under setpoints, Constant value is added andsubtracted respectively. To add or subtract Constant value from Over and Under setpoints
conversely, enter a negative Constant value.

4.1.1

Support Recip Piston Rod Channel

System 1 23.1 now supports Piston Rod channel configured in Orbit 60 device. System 1 receives thedefault Sync and Async waveforms from the device when connected to the device for the first time.
Users can add new waveforms or delete existing waveforms from System 1 and then send theconfiguration to the Condition Monitoring Module (CMM). All the existing features available for 3500’s
Rod drop/Rod Position channel is also supported for Orbit 60’s Piston Rod channel. Users can view Piston
Rod data in Rod Position plot in Display workspace.

4.1.2 Offline Config Import in System 1
In the previous release, users could add a device in System 1 either by connecting to it or by importing
an offline diagnostic file (.odf). In this release, System 1 supports import of offline configuration file (.orb).
The .orb file can be created using Orbit Studio version 23.1 or higher and imported into System 1. After
importing the file, users can map device points to asset points, add waveforms and trended
measurements, configure data collection parameters for the collection groups, add System 1 states,and so on. After establishing connection with Condition Monitoring Module (CMM), the configuration

can be sent to the device. Users can update the protection configuration in System 1 by reimporting the.orb file before synchronizing with the device.

4.1.3 Advanced security for Orbit 60 in System 1
In previous release, users could only add an Orbit 60 device with valid security certificate. Devices withinvalid or expired security certificate could not be added.
System 1 now displays a warning when user adds an Orbit 60 devices with an expired or invalid
certificate. After user accepts the risk, System 1 adds the device and log a system health event notifying
about the certificate expiry or invalidity.
If the Orbit 60 Security certificate expires, System 1 will continue to collect and visualize data.
System 1 also notifies and logs system health events when the certificate is about to expire within 30,
60, or 90 days. Security certificate is validated for Orbit 60 devices added by importing .orb or .odf filewhen the device is online for data collection.

DECISION SUPPORT IS NOW AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD
Valid M&S Agreement Required

Starting with System 1 version 23.1, Decision Support Developer will be included with all new orders of
System 1. Decision Support and System 1 both remain as separate products. However, they will bedelivered through the same download folder in Flexera. Decision Support is now part of the System 1
package, and therefore does not require a separate license for installation. This excludes the Decision
Support Analytics (formerly known as InsightPaks) and the DS Analytics library, which also remains as aseparate commercial product. For more information on this change, contact your sales manager.

ONLY APPLICABLE WHEN UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS PRIOR TO
22.1! License Changes !
If you upgrade from System 1 21.2 or prior, the existing licenses are not visible in the Licenses tab becauseof the Publisher Name change to “Baker Hughes”. Therefore, before you install the latest System 1 version,
return your existing licenses to the Licensing Portal. After the upgrade, register the License Server again
using your existing activation code and relicense System 1. For more details, refer to the System 1 Licensing
User Guide.

! Postgres version upgrade !
System 1 version 22.1 onwards supports Postgres 14 as the historian. Databases on Postgres 11 need to be
upgraded to Postgres 14.
While upgrading to Postgres 14, it is recommended to create a backup before installing the latest System 1
version.
When you upgrade to PostgreSQL14 on System 1 22.1 or later, rollback installation to earlier System 1 versions
is not allowed. Rollback is only possible by restoring VSS/Acronis backup.
To upgrade the historian from Postgres 11 database to Postgres 14, launch the Database Manager tool andclick “Upgrade PostgreSQL Database”.

! Proficy Obsolescence !
Proficy is no longer supported as historian. Users need to migrate their database from Proficy to Postgres.
Users must migrate Proficy databases to PostgreSQL to upgrade to System 1 22.1 or later.
This is applicable for customers who have an older System 1 version with Proficy databases. This does not
impact customers who already have PostgreSQL databases as historians.
For more details, please refer to System 1 Help.
