Bently Nevada 3500/65 16-Channel Temperature Monitor

Function Features

• Multi-type Input Compatibility: It accepts inputs from multiple types of resistance temperature detectors and thermocouples. Users can mix different input types based on on-site sensing device configurations, which eliminates the need for additional signal conversion modules and reduces system configuration complexity.
• Triple Modular Redundant Adaptability: It is designed for triple modular redundant setups. The voting logic between three adjacent modules ensures the monitoring system continues operating normally even if one module malfunctions, which is essential for safety-critical industrial scenarios.
• Configurable Alarm Mechanisms: Users set alert and danger setpoints through software within the full-scale range. The alert delay and danger delay can be adjusted from 1 to 60 seconds, with the danger delay adjustable in 0.5-second steps. This avoids false alarms caused by transient temperature fluctuations and ensures timely warnings for real abnormal conditions.
• Intuitive Status Indication: The front panel is equipped with OK, TX/RX, and bypass status LEDs. These LEDs directly reflect the module’s operating state, communication status with other rack modules, and whether it is in maintenance bypass mode, facilitating quick troubleshooting by maintenance personnel.
• Seamless System Integration: It connects to the 3500 series rack backplane and communicates with the 3500/22M rack interface module via Ethernet. It can also link to upper-level systems such as system 1 software, enabling centralized management and analysis of temperature data.

Application Scenarios

• Power Generation Industry: It is installed on steam turbines, generators, and boiler systems in power plants. It monitors the temperature of key components such as turbine bearings, generator windings, and boiler heating surfaces. It triggers alarms immediately when temperatures exceed thresholds to prevent equipment damage from overheating and ensures continuous and stable power generation.
• Oil and Gas Industry: It is applied to offshore drilling platforms, natural gas compressors, and oil pipeline stations. It monitors the temperature of pipeline walls, compressor cylinders, and pumping unit bearings in hazardous areas. Its compliance with ATEX standards ensures safe operation in flammable and explosive environments and guarantees the safety of oil and gas extraction and transportation processes.
• Petrochemical Industry: It is deployed in chemical reactors, distillation towers, and heat exchangers. It tracks the temperature of reaction materials inside reactors and the temperature of heat transfer media in heat exchangers. Stable temperature monitoring ensures the chemical reaction proceeds as scheduled and avoids safety accidents such as material decomposition or explosions caused by temperature deviations.
• Marine Industry: It is integrated into marine power systems and complies with optional DNV and class NK certifications. It monitors the temperature of marine diesel engines, transmission systems, and auxiliary equipment. It resists harsh marine conditions such as high humidity and salt spray and maintains stable performance to ensure the reliability of ship navigation.
• General Manufacturing Industry: It is used in metallurgical blast furnaces, papermaking drying equipment, and mining machinery. It monitors the temperature of molten steel in metallurgical processes, the temperature of drying rollers in papermaking equipment, and the bearing temperature of mining conveyors. It provides data for equipment maintenance and reduces production downtime caused by temperature-related faults.
