Function Features

Sensor Compatibility: Bently Nevada 3500/53 supports interface with different classes of sensors used in machinery monitoring. It transmits eddy current proximity probes for shaft vibrations and positioning measurements as well as piezoelectric accelerometers for overall vibration analysis.

Signal conditioning: Bently Nevada 3500/53 advanced signal conditioning circuitry. It separates the real signals from possible noise and sensor interference; it augments the lower-order signals to a precisely malleable level for processing; and it carries out some signal processing steps like integration and differentiation to give velocity and displacement values from acceleration signals.

Alarm and Trip Functions: Bently Nevada 3500/53 provides comprehensive, multi-function alarms and trip settings. The user can have multiple alarm settings and/or trip conditions based on the parameter being monitored. Alarms can, for example, be generated if vibration amplitudes go above pre-set limits, and trip action can even be automatically initiated to stop the machine in cases of shaft positioning excursions outside predefined limit ranges to protect the machine from damage.

Data Logging and Communication: This unit logs data for long periods. It stores historic data that may be retrieved and analyzed later for certain analyses such as trend analysis and machinery performance assessment. Bently Nevada 3500/53 supports various communications such as Ethernet, RS-485, and Modbus, which integrate easily with other control and monitoring systems on the site.

Applications

Power Generation: Bently Nevada 3500/53 is used both on utility power generating plants to assess and monitor the conditions of turbines, generators, and other rotating machinery. It would allow early detection of faults in service, contributing to the reliable and efficiency-oriented operations of the power generation facility to prevent disruptions and expensive breakdowns.

Petrochemical Industry: It is used in refineries and chemical plants to monitor critical machinery like pumps and compressors. The Bently Nevada 3500/53 is essential to maintaining the safety of the process and structural reliability of the facility since any failure of machinery in this industry can lead to leaks, fires, or explosions.
