The BENTLEY NEVADA 3500/60 is a high-precision temperature monitoring module designed for critical rotating machinery in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing. As part of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System, it supports up to six channels of simultaneous temperature measurement using RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) or thermocouples (TCs). The module converts raw sensor signals into actionable data, enabling real-time condition monitoring, alarm activation, and compliance with API 670 standards. With configurable isolation options and dual-channel redundancy for safety-critical applications, the 3500/60 ensures reliable performance in harsh environments.

3. Advantages and Features
Multi-Channel Flexibility: Supports up to six independent temperature measurements, reducing system complexity.
Isolation Options: TC-isolated versions prevent EMI/RFI interference in noisy environments.
API 670 Compliance: Meets safety requirements for turbine and compressor applications.
Dual-Channel Redundancy: Available for TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) configurations, ensuring fail-safe operation.
4. Application Areas and Case Studies
Oil & Gas: Monitoring bearing temperatures in offshore platform turbines.
Power Generation: Tracking stator temperatures in steam generators.
Manufacturing: Optimizing process temperatures in chemical reactors.
Case Study: A European power plant reduced maintenance costs by 30% using the 3500/60 to detect overheating in generator bearings, enabling predictive maintenance.
5. Competitor Comparison
The 3500/60 outperforms comparable modules by:
Offering configurable isolation (standard vs. isolated TC inputs).
Supporting up to six channels (vs. typical 4-channel alternatives).
Including dual-channel redundancy for safety-critical systems.
6. Selection Recommendations
System Complexity: Choose for multi-axis temperature monitoring requiring alarm thresholds.
Environment: Opt for TC-isolated versions in high-interference settings.
Redundancy: Pair with 3500/61 for 4–20 mA outputs or 3500/22 for system integration.
7. Precautions
Sensor Calibration: Verify RTD/TC accuracy before installation.
Cable Routing: Use shielded cables for thermocouple inputs to minimize noise.
Firmware Updates: Regularly update software via BENTLEY’s 3500 组态软件 for enhanced features.
