Product Name:

Bently 3500/32 – Bently Nevada Machinery Protection and Monitoring System, 32-Channel Card

Product Description:

The Bently 3500/32 is a 32-channel relay output card that integrates with the Bently Nevada 3500 series monitoring systems. It is used for monitoring vibration, position, and other critical parameters of industrial machinery. This card provides real-time data to ensure the health and safety of rotating equipment and can be used to initiate alarms or shutdowns based on predefined setpoints.

This relay card is designed for harsh industrial environments and offers robust features for continuous machinery protection, helping to prevent unplanned downtime and costly repairs. It can handle multiple types of inputs, making it highly adaptable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

• Type: 32-channel relay output card for the Bently Nevada 3500 system
• Channels: 32 output channels, used for relaying signals and alarms
• Input/Output: Compatible with vibration, proximity, and temperature sensors, with outputs to initiate alarms, shutdowns, or other control systems
• Relay Output: Typically provides Form C (SPDT) relays for alarm and trip functions
• Power Supply: Powered by the Bently 3500 rack (usually +24V DC)
• Mounting: Plugs into the Bently 3500 rack system
• Environmental Rating: Designed for industrial use, suitable for harsh conditions (vibration, temperature extremes, etc.)
• Temperature Range: Typically -40°C to +85°C, but may vary based on specific model configurations
• Communication Interface: The card integrates with the 3500 Series Rack and communicates via the system’s backplane
• Configuration: User-configurable for different alarm thresholds and conditions through the Bently 3500 system interface
• Compatibility: Compatible with Bently Nevada 3500/15, 3500/20, 3500/22, and 3500/25 vibration monitoring and control modules

Product Use:

• Machinery Protection: It is used to monitor the status of critical equipment, such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and motors.
• Condition Monitoring: Provides real-time diagnostics to monitor the health of machinery and prevent unplanned shutdowns or failures.
• Alarm and Shutdown Logic: The relay outputs are used to trigger alarms or shutdowns when predefined conditions (e.g., vibration levels, temperature thresholds) exceed acceptable limits.
• Industrial Applications: Widely used in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and mining where the reliability of machinery is critical.

Common Applications:

• Vibration Monitoring: Detects abnormal vibrations or misalignments in rotating machinery, helping prevent damage.
• Proximity Monitoring: Monitors the position of critical components like shafts or bearings to ensure alignment.
• Temperature Monitoring: Tracks temperature fluctuations that could indicate malfunction or equipment stress.
• Trip or Alarm Systems: Used to interface with other machinery control systems to trigger corrective actions (shutdown, alarms, etc.) based on abnormal sensor readings.

Advantages:

• High channel density (32 outputs), reducing the need for multiple separate cards.
• Can be configured for a variety of monitoring functions.
• Reliable for use in demanding industrial environments.
• Scalable and flexible, fitting into a wide range of monitoring applications within the 3500 Series system.
