Designed to provide comprehensive monitoring of rotating equipment health, this module integrates seamlessly with proximity probes, velocity sensors, and temperature devices to deliver real-time insights into machinery condition.

As a critical component in industrial automation ecosystems, the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 processes raw sensor data to detect early warning signs of mechanical issues such as imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear. Its four independent channels allow simultaneous monitoring of multiple machine points, while advanced signal processing ensures accurate measurement across a wide frequency range. Whether deployed in power generation, oil and gas, or manufacturing facilities, the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 forms the backbone of predictive maintenance strategies, helping prevent costly unplanned downtime.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Comprehensive monitoring capabilities: The 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 supports multiple sensor types, including proximity probes for shaft displacement and velocity sensors for vibration measurement. This versatility allows it to monitor diverse machinery parameters within a single module, eliminating the need for multiple specialized devices. Its broad frequency range (0.1 Hz to 10,000 Hz) captures both low-frequency structural vibrations and high-frequency bearing defects, providing a complete picture of machine health.

Safety-certified reliability: With IEC 61508 SIL 2 certification, the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 meets stringent safety requirements for critical applications. Its 2.5kVrms isolation rating ensures stable operation in electrically noisy environments, while redundant alarm circuits provide fail-safe protection against measurement failures. This robust design ensures reliable performance in safety-critical systems where machinery failure could have catastrophic consequences.

Flexible integration and configuration: The 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 offers multiple communication options, including Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP, enabling seamless integration with DCS, SCADA, and asset management systems. Configurable alarm levels per channel allow customization to specific machinery requirements, while the intuitive software interface simplifies setup and calibration. This flexibility makes it suitable for both new installations and retrofits of existing monitoring systems.

Typical application scenarios

In combined cycle power plants, the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 monitors gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators. Each channel tracks critical parameters: one monitors turbine shaft vibration via proximity probes, another measures generator bearing temperature, while others track velocity in pump bearings. The module’s high-frequency response detects early signs of blade damage in turbines, while its SIL 2 certification ensures it meets safety requirements for power generation equipment.

Within LNG processing facilities, the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 is deployed on compressors and cryogenic pumps. Its ability to operate in low-temperature environments (-40°C) makes it ideal for LNG service, while the multiple channels monitor both radial vibration and axial thrust in compressors. By detecting subtle vibration changes in rotating equipment handling cryogenic fluids, it prevents unplanned shutdowns that could disrupt the delicate LNG production process.

In steel manufacturing, the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01 monitors rolling mill motors, gearboxes, and auxiliary pumps. The module’s robust construction withstands the dusty, high-vibration environment of steel mills, while its wide frequency range captures both gear meshing frequencies and bearing defects. Integration with the mill’s DCS allows operators to adjust production parameters based on real-time machinery health data from the 3300/16-14-01-03-00-00-01, optimizing performance while preventing failures.
