BENTLY 3500/22M 138607-01

Product introduction

The 3500/22M 138607-01 from Bently Nevada is a compact transient data module designed for the 3500 Machinery Protection System, specializing in capturing time-critical vibration and position data during machinery events. This 1-slot rack-mounted module serves as a flexible solution for monitoring transient conditions in mid-sized machinery protection applications, offering a balance of performance and space efficiency within the 3500 system architecture.

As a complementary model to the higher-channel 3500/22M 288055-01, 3500/22M 138607-01 provides targeted transient data capture for applications requiring fewer channels but maintaining the same core functionality. It seamlessly integrates with sensors connected via cables like 177230-01-01-05, preserving critical signal integrity needed for accurate diagnostic analysis of machinery behavior during startups, shutdowns, or fault events.

In industrial monitoring ecosystems, 3500/22M 138607-01 plays a vital role in capturing pre- and post-event data that reveals the root cause of machinery issues. Its ability to record transient waveforms helps engineers distinguish between normal operational variations and early fault indicators, supporting proactive maintenance strategies that minimize downtime in power generation, manufacturing, and oil and gas facilities.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Optimized channel configuration: 3500/22M 138607-01 offers 8 simultaneous input channels with sampling rates up to 64,000 samples per second, providing an ideal balance of performance and resource utilization for medium-complexity machinery. This configuration delivers sufficient resolution to capture critical transient details from sensors connected via 177230-01-01-05 cables while occupying only one rack slot, maximizing monitoring capability in space-constrained enclosures compared to larger modules like 3500/22M 288055-01.

Flexible triggering system: The module features a comprehensive triggering system that includes alarm-based triggers from other 3500 modules, external voltage triggers, manual activation, and scheduled captures. Pre-trigger buffering (configurable up to 10 seconds) ensures data from before the trigger event is preserved, providing essential context for understanding event initiation, while adjustable post-trigger recording captures the full event evolution.

Efficient data management: With 4 GB onboard flash memory and SD card expansion capability, 3500/22M 138607-01 provides ample storage for hours of high-resolution transient data. The module employs intelligent data prioritization that protects critical event recordings even when storage capacity is limited, ensuring valuable diagnostic information isn’t lost. Data is stored in open formats compatible with Bently Nevada diagnostic software and third-party analysis tools.

Seamless system integration: Designed for the 3500 architecture, 3500/22M 138607-01 communicates via the system backplane with other modules, maintaining precise timing synchronization across the entire monitoring system. It works alongside 3500/22M 288055-01 in larger installations, allowing scalable transient monitoring from 8 to 24+ channels. Ethernet connectivity enables remote configuration and data retrieval, supporting centralized analysis of machinery events.

Typical application scenarios

In biomass power plants, 3500/22M 138607-01 modules monitor boiler feed pumps, capturing transient vibration data during startup sequences and load changes. The 8-channel configuration provides dedicated monitoring of pump bearings and motor vibration via 177230-01-01-05 cables, recording how equipment responds to fuel quality variations. This data helps engineers optimize maintenance intervals for these critical auxiliary systems, preventing unplanned outages in renewable energy facilities.

Chemical processing plants utilize 3500/22M 138607-01 to monitor centrifugal pumps handling corrosive fluids, capturing transient data during cavitation events or valve transitions. The module’s rapid sampling preserves the unique vibration signatures of cavitation, enabling operators to adjust process parameters before pump damage occurs. Its compact 1-slot design fits easily in control cabinets alongside other 3500 modules, providing comprehensive protection for medium-sized rotating equipment.

Water treatment facilities employ 3500/22M 138607-01 to monitor large motor-driven agitators and mixers, capturing transient vibration patterns during startup and shutdown cycles. The module triggers on abnormal vibration spikes, recording data that helps distinguish between normal mechanical looseness and serious issues like bearing degradation. This targeted monitoring ensures reliable operation of equipment critical for water purification processes and distribution systems.
