Bently Nevada 3500/60 Six-Channel Temperature Monitoring Module

Function Features

• Dual Sensor Input Support: It can accept inputs from two types of temperature sensors. The non-isolated version even allows mixed inputs of Resistance Temperature Detectors and thermocouples, while the thermocouple isolated version provides 250 VDC channel-to-channel isolation to resist external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
• Flexible Configuration Options: It offers multiple I/O module options, including non-isolated with internal or external termination, isolated thermocouple with internal or external termination, and non-isolated with internal barriers for hazardous areas, adapting to different installation and environmental needs.
• Reliable Alarm Mechanism: It supports user-programmable alert and danger thresholds. It can promptly trigger alarms when equipment temperature exceeds the set range, and the adjustable alarm delay settings prevent false alarms caused by transient temperature fluctuations.
• Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities: It is equipped with diagnostic functions that can detect sensor faults such as wire breaks. The three front-panel LEDs clearly display the module’s working status, communication status, and bypass status, facilitating maintenance personnel to quickly locate problems.
• Triple Modular Redundant Adaptability: When applied in triple modular redundant configurations, it needs to be installed in adjacent groups of three. The system uses two types of voting logic to ensure accurate operation, which significantly improves the reliability of the temperature monitoring system in critical scenarios.

Application Scenarios

• Power Generation Industry: It is installed on steam turbines, gas turbines, and generators to monitor the metal temperatures of radial and thrust bearings in real time. It also tracks the temperature of key components such as motor stators, preventing equipment damage caused by overheating and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of power generation equipment.
• Oil and Gas Industry: It is used in oil field pumping units, natural gas compressors, and pipeline transport equipment. It monitors the suction and discharge temperatures of compressors and the temperature of pipeline valves, adapting to the flammable and explosive environment with optional internal barriers and ensuring the safety of oil and gas extraction and transportation processes.
• Petrochemical Industry: It is applied to reactors, distillation towers, and various pumps in petrochemical plants. It monitors the temperature of reaction materials and equipment wall temperatures, which helps maintain stable reaction conditions and avoid safety accidents such as material leakage due to excessive local temperatures.
• Metallurgical Industry: It works on blast furnaces, rolling mills, and smelting equipment in steel plants. It tracks the temperature of rolling bearings and heating furnace pipelines, adapting to high-temperature and high-dust working environments and ensuring the normal progress of metallurgical production processes.
• General Manufacturing Industry: It is integrated into production lines involving motors, gearboxes, and air compressors. It monitors the temperature of key rotating components and transmission parts, provides early warnings of overheating faults, reduces production downtime caused by equipment failures, and improves the overall efficiency of the production line.
