Bently 3500/72M Reciprocating Rod Position Monitor

Description

• Mounting: Can be installed in a 3500 system rack or as a standalone unit, with options for panel or wall mounting.
• Communication: Features digital communication capabilities for integration with process control and other factory automation systems through industrial standard protocols. Also supports analog outputs (4-20mA and relays) for connection to older factory control systems.
• Front Panel LEDs: OK, TX/RX, Bypass indicators for easy status monitoring.

Key Features

• High Precision: Offers high-precision position measurement, ensuring reliable operation in various industrial environments.
• Flexible Configuration: Each operating mode can be realized through software configuration using the 3500 rack configuration software, making it highly adaptable to different applications.
• Comprehensive Monitoring: Continuously monitors the piston/rod position of reciprocating compressors, detecting anomalies early.
• Advanced Alarming: Supports programmable alarms for each monitored parameter, enabling early warning of potential issues.
• Self-Diagnostics: Monitors its own operating status and sensor health in real-time, preventing false alarms or missed detections.
• Redundancy Options: Provides multiple redundancy levels, from single module to dual power supplies, and full Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) configuration for enhanced reliability.
• Data Output: Returns various data values such as rod position (displacement, position angle, crank angle, peak-to-peak amplitude, gap, 1X amplitude, non-1X amplitude, 2X amplitude), rod drop (average piston position, average probe gap, instantaneous piston position, instantaneous probe gap), and super compressor channel (peak-to-peak displacement, gap, 1X amplitude, non-1X amplitude, 2X amplitude).

Application Scenarios

• Reciprocating Compressors: Widely used to monitor the piston/rod position of reciprocating compressors in petrochemical, power generation, and metallurgical industries.
• Pumps: Monitors the position of pump rods to ensure efficient and safe operation.
• Industrial Process Machinery: Provides precise motion recording for industrial process machinery, aiding in performance optimization and maintenance planning.
• Mechanical Protection: Provides mechanical protection for reciprocating machinery by continuously comparing monitored parameters with configured alarm setpoints, driving alarms when necessary.
