Description
1. Product Description
The Bentley Nevada 135137-01 is a 4-channel position monitor designed for the 3500 Mechanical Health Monitoring System, delivering precise measurement and analysis of machinery position, displacement, and motion. It interfaces with proximity probes, rotary potentiometers, and linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) to monitor critical parameters in rotating equipment. With RS485 communication capabilities, the module enables real-time data integration with Bentley’s System 1 software for predictive maintenance. Its rugged design and modular architecture make it ideal for industrial environments requiring high reliability and scalability.

3. Advantages and Features
- Multi-Sensor Support: Accommodates proximity probes, RPTS, and LVDTs, reducing the need for multiple modules.
- Real-Time Monitoring: RS485 connectivity enables seamless integration with central control systems.
- Space Efficiency: Four channels in a compact design, minimizing rack space compared to single-channel alternatives.
- Intelligent Alarming: Continuous comparison of measurements against 预设阈值 triggers immediate alerts for machinery protection.
4. Application Areas and Case Studies
Industries:
- Oil and gas (pumps, compressors)
- Power generation (turbines, generators)
- Manufacturing (conveyor systems, motors)
Case Study:
A European power plant deployed the 135137-01 to monitor steam turbine shaft displacement. The module’s real-time alerts and historical trend analysis reduced unplanned downtime by 25%, saving over €400,000 annually.

5. Competitor Comparison
Compared to similar position monitoring modules:
- Channel Density: 4 channels vs. typical 2–3 channels in competing models.
- Communication Flexibility: Built-in RS485 eliminates the need for external adapters.
- Temperature Range: Operates in extreme conditions (-40°C vs. standard -20°C).
6. Selection Recommendations
- Channel Requirements: Choose this model for up to four measurement points; upgrade to higher-channel modules for larger systems.
- Communication Needs: Opt for RS485-enabled versions if remote data integration is required.
- Compatibility: Ensure integration with Bentley’s 3500 rack and System 1 software for advanced analytics.
7. Precautions
- Sensor Calibration: Regularly verify sensor alignment and update firmware to maintain accuracy.
- Installation: Follow Bentley’s guidelines for proper grounding and cable routing to prevent signal interference.
- Protocol Settings: Configure RS485 parameters (baud rate, parity) according to the system requirements.
