4. Application Fields & Cases

4.1 Application Fields

• Power Generation: Gas/steam turbine data integration with DCS, nuclear power plant machinery health monitoring, wind turbine gearbox data streaming to cloud
• Oil & Gas: Offshore platform compressor data transmission to ESD, pipeline pump condition monitoring via SCADA, LNG plant cryogenic equipment analytics
• Petrochemical: Refinery reactor agitator data integration with APM platforms, chemical plant extruder health monitoring, ammonia synthesis compressor alarm transmission
• Manufacturing: Steel mill rolling mill data sharing with plant-wide MES, paper mill dryer cylinder condition monitoring, cement plant kiln roller analytics

4.2 Typical Cases

1. Nuclear Power Plant Turbine Monitoring: A nuclear power plant deployed BENTLY 136188-02 to connect 3500 racks (monitoring turbine vibration and speed) with the Siemens PCS 7 DCS and safety system. The module’s redundant Ethernet ports ensured uninterrupted data flow during a network switch failure, preventing loss of critical safety-related data.
2. Offshore Oil Platform Compressor Control: An offshore platform used BENTLY 136188-02 to link compressor vibration and temperature data to the ESD system and cloud-based APM platform. The module’s OPC UA encryption protected sensitive data during transmission, while its low latency enabled the ESD to trigger a shutdown within 50 ms of detecting a critical fault.
3. Refinery APM Integration: A petrochemical refinery integrated BENTLY 136188-02 with its Honeywell Experion DCS and Predix APM platform. The module streamed real-time reactor compressor data, enabling predictive maintenance that reduced unplanned downtime by 35% and cut maintenance costs by $400,000 annually.

6. Selection Suggestions & Precautions

6.1 Selection Suggestions

1. Protocol Requirements: BENTLY 136188-02 is ideal for multi-protocol integration (e.g., OPC UA + PROFINET); for basic Modbus-only needs, select Bently 136188-01 (cost-optimized version).
2. Redundancy Needs: Choose dual Ethernet + fiber options for safety-critical applications (e.g., nuclear power, offshore platforms); standard Ethernet-only configurations suffice for non-critical machinery monitoring.
3. Environmental Conditions: Select ATEX/IECEx-certified units for explosive zones (e.g., refineries, chemical plants); opt for IP65 enclosures for outdoor or dusty installations (e.g., mining facilities).

6.2 Precautions

1. Network Configuration: Configure dual Ethernet ports in failover mode (not load-balanced) via the 3500 rack controller; use shielded Ethernet cables and ground them at the module end to minimize EMI.
2. Cybersecurity Setup: Enable OPC UA encryption and ACLs to restrict access to BENTLY 136188-02; update firmware regularly (via System 1® software) to patch security vulnerabilities and enable new protocol features.
3. Maintenance Checks: Inspect network connections and fiber ports (if equipped) every 6 months for corrosion or damage; test failover functionality quarterly to verify redundant path reliability.
4. Installation Guidelines: Mount BENTLY 136188-02 in the 3500 chassis’s dedicated communication slot, with at least 5 cm clearance from power modules to avoid heat interference; avoid installation near high-voltage equipment or VFDs.
