BENTLY 132417-01

Product introduction

The 132417-01 from Bently Nevada is a safety-certified relay output module, engineered specifically for critical machinery protection applications where failure to act could result in catastrophic equipment damage or safety hazards. As an advanced safety component in industrial monitoring architectures, this module provides SIL 2-rated protection, serving as the final safety layer between monitoring systems and emergency shutdown circuits for high-value rotating equipment.

Designed to complement Bently Nevada’s standard relay modules like the 132419-01, the 132417-01 offers enhanced safety features and higher current handling for critical protection scenarios. It accepts input signals from safety-related monitoring systems, including the 1900/65A-01-01-01-00-00 controller and 135462-01 signal conditioning amplifiers, converting these into safety-rated relay actions. When integrated with sensors such as the 330703-000-070-10-02-05 accelerometer and termination panels like the 146031-02, it forms a complete safety instrumented system (SIS) for critical machinery protection.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Safety-certified performance: The 132417-01 is certified to SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and PLd (ISO 13849-1), ensuring reliable operation in safety-critical applications. Unlike standard relay modules, it incorporates diagnostic coverage exceeding 90% and fault tolerance features that prevent spurious trips while ensuring safe state achievement on demand. This certification makes it suitable for protecting machinery where unplanned shutdowns or failure to shutdown could have severe consequences.

High-current handling capability: With a 10A relay rating (double that of the 132419-01), this module can directly control larger loads including motor contactors, valve actuators, and emergency shutdown valves without requiring intermediate contactors. This simplifies system architecture for critical protection circuits while maintaining safety integrity.

Ultra-rapid response time: Featuring a typical response time of less than 5ms, the 132417-01 ensures virtually instantaneous activation of protective actions when dangerous conditions are detected. This rapid response minimizes exposure to hazardous vibration levels or machinery conditions, reducing potential damage during abnormal operation.

Enhanced isolation and robustness: The module provides 3kVrms isolation between inputs, outputs, and ground—exceeding the isolation of standard modules—to ensure protection against electrical noise and transients in high-reliability environments. Its rugged construction includes conformal coating of circuit boards and enhanced relay contacts designed for millions of operations, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial conditions.

Dual-input verification: For critical applications, the 132417-01 supports dual-input verification where two independent monitoring signals must agree before initiating a shutdown, preventing spurious trips caused by single-sensor faults. This feature enhances system availability while maintaining safety integrity, balancing protection with production continuity.

Typical application scenarios

In nuclear power plant auxiliary systems, the 132417-01 provides safety-rated protection for critical pumps and fans whose failure could affect plant safety. It receives dual-verified signals from redundant 1900/65A controllers monitoring 330703-000-070-10-02-05 accelerometers, triggering emergency shutdowns only when both channels detect abnormal vibration. Its SIL 2 rating ensures compliance with nuclear safety requirements for protection systems.

Within LNG processing facilities, the module protects large compressors and turboexpanders in hazardous areas. Its ATEX Zone 2 certification and high-current capability allow direct control of emergency shutdown valves, ensuring rapid isolation of equipment during high-vibration events that could indicate impending failure. The module integrates with 146031-02 termination panels to consolidate signals from multiple safety sensors.

In aerospace manufacturing facilities, the 132417-01 protects precision machining centers and robotic systems where equipment damage could result in expensive product loss or safety hazards. It receives vibration and position signals via 135462-01 amplifiers, activating machine interlocks or emergency stops when measurements exceed safe thresholds. The dual-input verification feature prevents production interruptions from single-sensor anomalies.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing the 132417-01, verify the mounting location in a clean, temperature-controlled cabinet with proper ventilation. Ensure the 24V DC power supply is redundant, regulated, and protected by appropriate fuses. Design wiring routes to separate safety-related circuits from non-safety circuits, using color-coded, shielded twisted-pair cable for inputs. For hazardous areas, confirm the installation meets ATEX Zone 2 requirements and safety instrumented system (SIS) design guidelines.

Mounting procedure: Secure the 132417-01 to a 35mm DIN rail, ensuring proper spacing from other components for cooling. Connect the redundant 24V DC power supplies, observing correct polarity and implementing proper isolation. Wire safety-related inputs from monitoring systems to dedicated input terminals, ensuring shield grounding at the module end only. Connect relay outputs to shutdown devices, using appropriately sized wiring for the 10A rating and implementing double-breaking of circuits where required by safety standards.

Commissioning verification: After installation, perform a complete functional safety assessment including verification of input-output relationships, response times, and fault detection capabilities. Use the 128240-01 tool to simulate sensor inputs and verify proper relay actuation at specified thresholds. Test fault conditions including input loss, power failure, and communication errors to ensure the module transitions to the safe state. Document all test results and obtain formal acceptance per safety lifecycle requirements.

Maintenance suggestions: Implement a preventive maintenance program following IEC 61508 guidelines, including quarterly visual inspections for loose connections, dust accumulation, or signs of degradation. Perform annual functional testing by simulating safety signals and verifying relay operation with a calibrated multimeter. Check relay contact resistance to detect early signs of wear, replacing the module before contact degradation affects performance. Maintain detailed records of all maintenance activities, tests, and modifications to preserve safety integrity.
