Product Description

The 3500/61 (Assembly Number 163179-02) is a high-performance 6-channel temperature monitoring module within the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. This module is specifically engineered to provide continuous thermal surveillance for critical assets, such as turbine bearings, motor stator windings, and compressor housings. It is unique for its integrated 4-20 mA recorder outputs, which allow real-time temperature data to be sent directly to external control systems (DCS/PLC) for trending and historical logging.

Technical Specifications

Specification Details
Channel Capacity 6 independent, high-precision temperature channels
Input Versatility User-configurable for RTDs, Thermocouples, or a mix of both
Signal Support RTDs: 100Ω Platinum (Pt100), 120Ω Nickel, and 10Ω Copper
Thermocouples: Types J, K, E, T, and S
Recorder Outputs 6 dedicated +4 to +20 mA DC proportional outputs (one per channel)
High Availability Supports Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) using dual-voting logic
Isolation Options Supports isolated TC I/O modules for up to 250 Vdc channel-to-channel protection
Configuration Programmed via the Bently Nevada 3500 Rack Configuration Software
Accuracy ±1.5°C typical at room temperature
Net Weight 0.73 kg

Operational Advantages

The 163179-02 module enhances machinery reliability by providing early detection of thermal anomalies. Its TMR capability ensures that a single-point failure within the module hardware will not cause a false machine trip or a loss of protection. By utilizing the recorder outputs, plant engineers can perform advanced diagnostics and correlate temperature spikes with vibration or process data, leading to more informed maintenance decisions.

Engineering FAQ

Q: Does the 163179-02 support grounded thermocouples?
A: While it can process various TC types, using grounded thermocouples is only recommended when paired with an Isolated TC I/O Module to prevent ground loop noise from affecting the 3500 system's accuracy.
