BENTLY 136188-01

Product introduction

The 136188-01 from Bently Nevada is a high-performance signal input module designed as a critical data acquisition component in 3500 Machinery Protection Systems. This 1-slot rack-mount module processes analog signals from vibration, position, and displacement sensors, converting raw sensor data into digital format for analysis and monitoring by the 3500 system. Bently Nevada’s 136188-01 serves as the front-end interface between field sensors and the centralized monitoring system, ensuring accurate signal conditioning and reliable data transmission for critical machinery protection applications.

Bently Nevada’s 136188-01 addresses the need for precise signal acquisition in complex machinery monitoring environments, where accurate measurement of subtle vibration patterns and position changes is essential for early fault detection. Powered by the 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 power supply module, it maintains signal integrity through advanced conditioning circuitry, preserving the precision of measurements from calibrated sensors like the 330180-90-05. Its compact design and multi-channel configuration make it an efficient solution for integrating diverse sensor inputs into the 3500 system architecture.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Precision signal acquisition: The 136188-01 features high-resolution ADCs and advanced filtering that capture subtle signal variations with exceptional accuracy. With a 40 kHz sampling rate per channel and a bandwidth of 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz, it accurately captures both low-frequency position changes and high-frequency vibration components critical for machinery diagnostics.

Configurable input flexibility: Each of the four channels can be independently configured for different input types (±10 VDC, ±5 VDC, 4-20 mA), allowing the module to accept signals from various sensor types without requiring additional interface hardware. This flexibility simplifies system design when integrating different monitoring technologies into a single 3500 system.

Channel isolation: The module incorporates channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation that eliminates ground loops and minimizes interference between channels. This isolation is particularly valuable in industrial environments with high electrical noise, ensuring that signals from one sensor don’t corrupt measurements from others.

Seamless system integration: Designed specifically for the 3500 system architecture, the 136188-01 integrates seamlessly with 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 power supplies and 3500/20 racks. Its backplane communication ensures low-latency data transfer to other system components, enabling real-time monitoring and rapid response to machinery anomalies.

Typical application scenarios

In power generation facilities, the 136188-01 is installed in 3500 racks monitoring turbine and generator health, processing signals from proximity sensors measuring shaft vibration and position. Each channel handles specific measurements—radial vibration on bearing housings, axial position of rotors, and casing vibration—providing comprehensive data to the 3500 system. Powered by the 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 module, it ensures continuous data acquisition even during power fluctuations common in utility environments.

Oil and gas processing plants utilize the 136188-01 to monitor compressor trains and pump systems, where it processes signals from 330180-90-05 proximity sensors and accelerometers. The module’s configurable inputs allow it to handle both vibration and position measurements, providing operators with a complete picture of rotating equipment health. Its rugged design ensures reliable operation in the harsh environmental conditions of processing facilities, including exposure to temperature variations and electrical noise.

Manufacturing facilities deploy the 136188-01 in 3500 systems monitoring critical production machinery such as large motors, gearboxes, and precision machine tools. The module’s high sampling rate enables detection of subtle vibration patterns that indicate early-stage bearing degradation or misalignment, allowing maintenance teams to address issues before they cause unplanned downtime. Its integration with the 3500 system provides both real-time alarms and historical data for trend analysis.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing the 136188-01, verify compatibility with the 3500/20 rack and ensure the system is powered down. Confirm that the 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 power supply is properly sized to accommodate the module. Required tools include a screwdriver set, torque wrench, and multimeter. Inspect the module for shipping damage, checking for bent pins, loose components, or damaged connectors. Ensure the installation environment is within the 0°C to +60°C operating range with adequate ventilation.

Mounting and wiring: Insert the 136188-01 into an available slot in the 3500/20 rack, securing it with front panel screws to the specified torque. Connect sensor cables from 330180-90-05 sensors or signal conditioners to the module’s input terminals, following the wiring diagram for proper polarity and shielding. Ensure shield connections are properly grounded at the module end to minimize noise. Double-check all connections before applying power to the system.

Configuration and commissioning: Power up the 3500 system using the 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 power supply and verify the 136188-01 initializes correctly using the system configuration software. Configure each input channel for the specific sensor type, setting appropriate input ranges, filtering, and scaling parameters. Use a calibrated signal generator or the 330130-080-00-00 calibration fixture to inject known signals and verify accurate measurement and conversion by the module. Document configuration settings and calibration results as part of the commissioning record.

Maintenance suggestions: Conduct quarterly visual inspections of the 136188-01 to check for loose connections, dust accumulation, or signs of overheating. Verify proper operation by checking system status indicators and reviewing diagnostic data through the 3500 system interface. During scheduled maintenance, recheck calibration using known input signals to ensure measurement accuracy hasn’t drifted. Clean ventilation openings periodically to maintain proper cooling. If signal quality issues arise, check sensor connections and cabling before suspecting module failure, and verify stable power from the 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 supply.
