Product Short Description
Technical Specifications:
- Input Signal Compatibility:
- Accepts signals from 5 mm or 8 mm proximity probes (e.g., Bently Nevada 3300 series probes).
- Supports dual-channel operation for each measurement type (vibration, position, expansion).
- Measurement Ranges:
- Vibration: 0–1000 µm peak-to-peak (adjustable based on probe type).
- Axial Position: ±2.5 mm (±0.1 inches) or ±5 mm (±0.2 inches), depending on configuration.
- Casing Expansion: Up to ±10 mm (±0.4 inches).
- Frequency Response:
- Vibration: 0–10 kHz (adjustable via software).
- Position/Expansion: DC to 10 Hz.
- Output Signals:
- Provides 4–20 mA analog outputs for integration with DCS/PLC systems.
- Relay outputs for alarm activation (warning, danger, and shutdown levels).
- Communicates with the 3500 framework via backplane for system-wide data sharing.
Description
- Environmental Ratings:
- Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).
- Storage temperature: -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F).
- Physical Attributes:
- Full-height module design for integration into 3500 series racks.
- Weight: Approximately 2–3 kg (depending on configuration).
Functional Features:
- Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously measures vibration, axial position, and casing expansion with high accuracy.
- Programmable Alarms: Users can set custom thresholds for warning, danger, and shutdown conditions via 3500 configuration software.
- Dynamic Filtering: Adjustable frequency filters to isolate specific mechanical faults (e.g., imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear).
- Keyphasor® Compatibility: Interfaces with Keyphasor® modules for phase reference and synchronous vibration analysis.
- Hot-Swappable Design: Allows module replacement without disrupting system operation (when installed in a powered 3500 framework).
- Self-Diagnostic Capabilities: Monitors internal health and alerts users to potential module faults.
Application Scenarios:
- Power Generation: Monitors turbines, generators, and pumps in gas, steam, and hydroelectric plants.
- Oil and Gas: Protects compressors, pumps, and motors in refineries, offshore platforms, and pipelines.
- Petrochemical Industry: Ensures reliable operation of rotating equipment in chemical processing plants.
- Metallurgical Sector: Monitors motors, fans, and rolling mills in steel and aluminum production.
- Aerospace: Used in test cells for engine and rotor monitoring during development and testing.
Compatibility:
- Designed exclusively for the Bently Nevada 3500 series machinery protection system.
- Integrates with DCS/PLC platforms via Modbus or Ethernet communication modules (e.g., 3500/92).
- Certified for use in hazardous locations (ATEX, IECEx, CSA).
Certifications and Standards:
- Meets API, ISO, and ASTM standards for vibration and position monitoring.
- Complies with EMC directives (EN 61326) for industrial environments.
- RoHS compliant (restriction of hazardous substances).
