BENTLY 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00

Description

Product Description

The BENTLY 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 is a critical system module within the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System (MPS), functioning as a Keyphasor® Input Module. This specialized module serves as the essential timing and speed reference for the entire monitoring rack, processing signals from Keyphasor® proximity probes or magnetic pickups (MPUs) to provide a once-per-revolution pulse. This pulse is the fundamental timing mark used by other monitoring modules (like vibration and position modules) to synchronize measurements, enabling accurate analysis of speed, phase, and order-related machinery phenomena. Integrating the 3500/05 Keyphasor Module is a foundational step in configuring a complete protection system for critical turbomachinery.

Product Parameters and Specifications

• Product Type: Keyphasor® Input Module (Slot 5 module in a 3500 rack).

• System Compatibility: Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System.

• Primary Function: Conditions and digitizes the signal from one or two Keyphasor® transducers to generate a clean, timed pulse per revolution for the rack’s internal data bus.

• Input Channels: Typically accepts input from two independent transducers (e.g., one primary, one backup) for redundancy.

• Input Types: Compatible with Eddy Current Proximity Probes (Keyphasor probes) and Magnetic Pickups (MPUs).

• Key Outputs: Provides the Keyphasor pulse to all other monitoring modules in the rack and can provide buffered analog outputs for speed indication or other external devices.

• Speed Measurement: Calculates and transmits rotational speed (RPM) data.

• Module Address: The “01” in the part number typically indicates a specific firmware version or hardware revision.

Advantages and Features

1. System-Wide Synchronization: The BENTLY 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 is the master timing source for the rack. Its accurate Keyphasor pulse ensures that all vibration and position measurements from other modules are phase-synchronized, which is critical for diagnostic techniques like orbit plots, Bode plots, and cascade analysis.

2. Redundant Input Capability: The ability to accept two independent transducer signals allows for a primary and backup speed reference, enhancing system availability and reliability for uninterrupted machinery protection.

3. Advanced Signal Conditioning: Features sophisticated circuitry to condition noisy or irregular raw transducer signals, ensuring a reliable and jitter-free timing pulse even under challenging signal conditions (e.g., gear mesh interference, low speeds).

4. Integrated Diagnostics: Continuously monitors the health of the connected Keyphasor probes or MPUs, detecting faults such as probe gap, broken wires, or loss of signal, and relays this information to the system for alarm generation.

5. Proven Reliability and Integration: As a core component of the industry-standard 3500 system, this module offers unmatched reliability and seamless, plug-and-play integration with all other 3500 monitoring and relay modules.

Application Cases in Various Fields

• Gas & Steam Turbine Protection: Provides the critical speed and phase reference for monitoring turbine vibration, allowing for accurate balancing and detection of synchronous vibration problems. The 3500/05 Keyphasor Module is indispensable for turbine supervisory instrumentation (TSI).

• Centrifugal Compressor Trains: Used in refineries and chemical plants to synchronize vibration data from multiple compressor casings and gearboxes, enabling precise analysis of torsional and lateral vibrations across the entire train.

• Large Synchronous Generators and Motors: Delivers the timing pulse needed to monitor vibration relative to rotational speed and load angle, crucial for detecting issues like rotor eccentricity or loose windings.

• High-Speed Pumps and Fans: Ensures accurate speed measurement and vibration phase analysis for condition-based maintenance and protection of critical auxiliary equipment.

Comparison with Competing Products

• vs. PLC High-Speed Counter Cards: While a PLC can count pulses for speed, it lacks the dedicated signal conditioning for noisy industrial environments, the seamless deterministic integration with vibration monitoring channels, and the specialized diagnostics for probe health that the 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 provides.

• vs. Simpler Speed Monitoring Relays: Basic speed switches only provide alarm thresholds. This module is a sophisticated measurement and timing device that enables advanced machinery diagnostics and is fully integrated into a comprehensive protection system.

• vs. Other MPS Vendor Keyphasor Modules (e.g., Vibro-Meter VM600): Competing systems offer similar functionality. The Bently Nevada 3500 system, and particularly its 3500/05 module, is often considered the industry benchmark due to its widespread installed base, proven track record, and depth of diagnostic compatibility with third-party software.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Mandatory System Compatibility: This module can only be used in a compatible Bently Nevada 3500 series rack framework. It will not function standalone or with other systems.

2. Correct Transducer Selection: The module must be matched with a compatible transducer (e.g., a 5mm or 8mm Eddy Current probe with the correct extension cable and proximitor, or a specific MPU). The system must be configured in software for the correct transducer type.

3. Proper Installation is Critical: The physical installation of the Keyphasor probe (gap, orientation, target material) is paramount. An improperly installed probe will provide a poor or erratic signal, rendering the 3500/05 module’s advanced conditioning ineffective.

4. Configuration via 3500 Software: The module’s parameters (e.g., signal source selection, filtering, speed ranges, alarm setpoints) must be configured using the dedicated 3500 Configuration Software. Physical jumper settings on older modules may also be required.

5. Redundancy Planning: For the most critical applications, plan for both transducer redundancy (two probes) and consider power supply redundancy to ensure the Keyphasor signal is never lost.
