Bently Nevada 3500/64M Dynamic Pressure Monitor

As a key module in the Bently 3500 monitoring system, BENTLY 3500/64M is specially designed to monitor critical parameters such as vibration and shaft displacement of rotating machinery, and serves as a "guardian" to ensure the safe and efficient operation of industrial equipment.

It has 4 independent input channels, each of which has strong signal acquisition capability and can be connected to various types of sensors such as vibration sensors and displacement sensors at the same time. This multi - channel design enables the module to monitor the operating parameters of different parts of the equipment simultaneously, such as the bearing vibration of a steam turbine and the rotor displacement of a generator. It comprehensively grasps the operating status of the equipment and provides abundant data support for the comprehensive analysis of the equipment's health condition.

• Vibration Measurement: It can measure a wide range of vibration amplitudes, usually 0 - 500μm peak, which can meet the vibration monitoring needs of rotating machinery from low speed to high speed. The measurement accuracy is as high as ±1% of full scale, ensuring the accurate capture of tiny vibration changes. Even weak vibration signals caused by early equipment faults can be accurately detected.

• Shaft Displacement Measurement: The shaft displacement measurement range is generally - 25mm to + 25mm, and the measurement accuracy also reaches ±1% of full scale. It can accurately monitor the axial displacement of the rotating shaft, timely detect potential problems such as shaft misalignment and thrust bearing wear, and provide accurate data reference for the safe operation of the equipment.

• Signal Processing: It has a built - in high - performance signal processor, which can perform filtering, amplification, digitization and other processing on the collected original signals. Advanced digital signal processing algorithms are adopted to effectively eliminate environmental interference signals and extract effective signals that reflect the real operating status of the equipment, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of monitoring data.

• Output Signals: It provides various types of output signals, including 4 - 20mA analog output and relay contact output. The 4 - 20mA analog output can transmit the measured values to control systems such as DCS and PLC in real time, realizing remote monitoring of equipment status; the relay contact output is used for outputting alarm signals. When the monitored parameters exceed the set alarm thresholds, the corresponding relay contacts act to trigger sound - light alarm devices or shutdown protection mechanisms.

It is equipped with an RS - 485 communication interface and supports the Modbus communication protocol, facilitating data interaction with upper computers or data acquisition systems. Through this interface, the module can upload real - time monitoring data, alarm information, etc. to the monitoring center, and at the same time, can receive configuration instructions from the upper computer, realizing remote parameter setting and function control, which improves the integration and intelligence level of the equipment monitoring system.

• Working Environment: The operating temperature range is 0 - 65℃, which can adapt to temperature changes in environments such as industrial on - site control rooms and equipment rooms. The relative humidity is 5% - 95% (non - condensing), allowing it to work stably in humid environments without additional moisture - proof measures. It has a certain ability to resist electromagnetic interference and can maintain normal signal acquisition and processing functions in strong industrial electromagnetic environments.

• Power Parameters: It adopts 24V DC power supply, with a power input range of 18 - 32V DC. It has a wide voltage adaptability and can be compatible with industrial DC power supply systems of different specifications. The rated power consumption is low, usually less than 10W, which reduces energy consumption while ensuring monitoring performance.

With advanced sensing technology and signal processing algorithms, the BENTLY 3500/64M module realizes high - precision real - time monitoring of vibration and shaft displacement parameters of rotating machinery. During equipment operation, it can capture parameter changes with a microsecond - level response speed, and complete data acquisition and processing multiple times per second, ensuring the real - time and continuity of monitoring data. For example, in the operation of a steam turbine generator set, the module can monitor the vibration spectrum of each bearing and the shaft displacement trend in real time, providing dynamic data of equipment operation for operation and maintenance personnel to help them find potential faults in time.

The module supports multi - level alarm settings. Users can set multiple alarm thresholds, such as warning values and danger values, for each monitoring parameter according to the operating characteristics and safety requirements of the equipment. When the monitored parameters reach different thresholds, the module will send out alarm signals of corresponding levels, and the alarm modes can be flexibly configured, including sound - light alarm, relay output, etc. This hierarchical alarm mechanism enables operation and maintenance personnel to take different treatment measures according to the alarm level, improving the pertinence and efficiency of fault response and avoiding unnecessary production shutdowns.

It has a complete data recording function, which can continuously record the historical data of equipment operating parameters. The recording time can be as long as several months or even years, and the recording interval can be flexibly set according to needs. These historical data provide valuable materials for the trend analysis of equipment status. By analyzing the changing trend of data, operation and maintenance personnel can predict the aging degree of the equipment and the probability of fault occurrence, and formulate reasonable preventive maintenance plans. At the same time, the module also supports data export function, which can export historical data to a computer, and use professional analysis software for in - depth analysis to further explore potential equipment faults.
