Functional Description

3500/27 is a Machinery Condition Monitoring developed by Bently Nevada. It is a part of 3500 Bently Nevada Series. It is a part of the 3500 Series designed for machinery protection and monitoring. This module utilizes advanced microprocessor-based technology to offer precise and customizable machinery monitoring, ensuring the health and performance of industrial system.

Features

• The module allows for digitally adjustable Alert and Danger setpoints for each channel, offering flexibility in configuring the monitoring system to meet specific operational thresholds. The setpoints can be customized to trigger alarms based on real-time conditions, which helps ensure that machinery is functioning within safe parameters.
• The module offers the ability to configure alarms for either latching or non-latching operation, enabling users to choose how alarms are triggered and cleared. Latching alarms stay active until manually reset, while non-latching alarms reset automatically once the condition returns to normal.
• Includes front-panel LEDs that provide clear and easy-to-read status indications. These LEDs allow operators to monitor the system’s status without needing to interact directly with the equipment, improving operational convenience and minimizing the need for ongoing manual checks.
• Most monitors in the system provide independent 4 to 20 mA proportional outputs for each channel of the I/O module. This feature allows for seamless integration with other industrial systems and ensures that the monitored data can be transmitted to external control systems for further analysis and action.
• The system includes OK detection routines that continuously monitor the integrity of the transducers and associated field wiring. This proactive feature ensures that any faults or issues with the monitoring equipment are detected early, helping to prevent undetected failures and improve the reliability of the monitoring system.
• Beyond direct measurements, many channel types provide an enhanced data set that includes additional measured variables. These variables depend on the type of monitor and its configuration, enabling users to gain a more comprehensive view of machinery health. For example, radial vibration channels offer not only the basic vibration amplitude but also include data points such as:
  • Gap voltage
  • 1X filtered amplitude and phase
  • 2X filtered amplitude and phase
  • Not 1X amplitude
  • Smax (maximum displacement amplitude)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3500/27?
It is a Machinery Condition Monitoring developed by Bently Nevada

How does the monitor help in machinery protection?
The module offers digitally adjustable alert and danger setpoints for each channel, allowing users to set thresholds for machine conditions. When these thresholds are crossed, it triggers latching or non-latching alarms, allowing for immediate action to protect the machinery and prevent damage.

How does the system detect wiring issues or faults?
It features OK detection routines that continuously check the integrity of transducers and associated wiring, ensuring that any faults or disconnections are detected early and addressed before they affect the system's performance.

Does the module provide additional data beyond basic measurements?
Yes, it provides enhanced data sets for various channels. For example, radial vibration channels offer additional data such as gap voltage, filtered amplitude and phase, and other variables that allow for a deeper analysis of machine health.
