Core Functional Features
- 4-Channel Independent Axial Thrust Position Monitoring
Equipped with 4 fully isolated monitoring channels, simultaneously measures multi-point rotor axial thrust displacement, differential expansion and axial dynamic movement status of large rotating machinery.
- Professional Static & Dynamic Axial Signal Processing
Separates and processes DC static axial gap position signal and AC dynamic axial vibration signal independently, accurately reflects rotor axial offset, thrust increase trend and axial vibration fault characteristics.
- Fully Configurable Dual-Level Alarm Protection
Supports independent setting of warning and danger alarm thresholds for each channel; supports programmable AND/OR voting interlock logic through 3500 configuration software, realizes accurate safety interlock protection.
- Standard 4–20 mA Analog Signal Output
Converts axial position data into standard industrial current loop signals, directly uploads data to DCS, PLC and central control room monitoring platforms.
- Real-Time Status Visual Indication
Front-panel digital display value, channel running indicator, warning alarm indicator and danger alarm indicator, intuitively reflects real-time monitoring status and abnormal faults on site.
- Complete Fault Self-Diagnosis Function
Automatically detects sensor disconnection, cable damage, channel open/short circuit and abnormal signal status, outputs safe defeat state and avoids false alarm and false interlock actions.
