Core Technical Parameters

Main Product Features

3.1 High-Precision Speed Measurement Performance

The 3500/50 (133388-02) module adopts high-resolution pulse acquisition and frequency conversion algorithm, achieving accurate real-time measurement of rotating shaft speed with ultra-low measurement error. It supports wide-range RPM monitoring from static zero-speed status to high-speed rotating state, ensuring stable and consistent data output under variable speed working conditions. The optimized hardware circuit of the 133388-02 revision effectively reduces signal jitter and improves long-term measurement stability.

3.2 Dual-Channel Independent Monitoring Design

Equipped with two completely independent speed monitoring channels, the module supports simultaneous monitoring of two sets of equipment speed signals or redundant speed signal acquisition for a single unit. Each channel can independently configure alarm thresholds, trip logic and signal parameters, realizing redundant protection and dual verification of equipment speed status, which greatly improves the reliability of machinery overspeed protection.

3.3 Comprehensive Equipment Safety Protection Logic

This module integrates multiple core protection functions including overspeed high alarm, overspeed trip, zero-speed detection and rotor acceleration monitoring. It can accurately capture abnormal speed changes such as equipment runaway, sudden speed drop and static standstill. It outputs reliable alarm and trip signals to interlock equipment shutdown, effectively avoiding mechanical collision, blade damage and bearing failure caused by abnormal speed of rotating machinery.

3.4 Full-Link Fault Self-Diagnosis Capability

The 3500/50 (133388-02) supports real-time self-diagnosis of sensor disconnection, signal attenuation, pulse abnormality and internal circuit failure. It can actively identify potential faults in the speed monitoring loop, generate accurate fault codes and upload diagnostic information to the upper monitoring system. It eliminates monitoring blind spots and ensures the normal operation of the machinery protection loop.

3.5 Strong On-Site Adaptability & Anti-Interference

Adopting industrial-grade EMC anti-interference design, the module can resist electromagnetic interference, vibration impact and power fluctuation in complex industrial environments. It stably acquires pulse signals of rotating equipment in high-temperature, high-noise and strong-vibration workshop environments, ensuring no distortion or loss of monitoring signals in long-term industrial operation.

3.6 Flexible Software Configuration & Easy Maintenance

All monitoring parameters, alarm thresholds and protection logic can be remotely configured and modified through the 3500 system supporting software. It supports real-time data viewing, historical trend recording and fault log query. The plug-and-play rack installation design simplifies on-site debugging, replacement and daily maintenance work, reducing equipment operation and maintenance costs.

Specific Application Scenarios

The Bently Nevada 3500/50 (133388-02) speed monitor module is dedicated to safety monitoring and overspeed protection of industrial core rotating machinery, widely used in high-risk process industries such as thermal power, petrochemical, natural gas and coal chemical.
