Product introduction

The 3500/22M 288055-01 from Bently Nevada is an advanced transient data module designed for the 3500 Machinery Protection System, specializing in high-speed capture and analysis of machinery vibration and position data during critical events. This 2-slot rack-mounted module serves as the system’s “black box,” recording detailed transient waveforms that provide invaluable insights into machinery behavior during faults, startups, shutdowns, or other significant operational events.

Unlike standard monitoring modules that focus on steady-state measurements, 3500/22M 288055-01 is engineered to capture high-resolution data from sensors connected via cables like the 177230-01-01-05, preserving the subtle signal details necessary for precise diagnostic analysis. Its integration with the 3500 system backplane allows seamless communication with other modules, while its powerful processing capabilities enable real-time data capture without compromising system performance.

In machinery protection ecosystems, 3500/22M 288055-01 plays a critical role in root cause analysis, capturing the milliseconds before, during, and after abnormal events. This data helps engineers distinguish between different fault types—such as bearing failure versus misalignment—supporting targeted maintenance and preventing recurrence. Its capabilities are essential for maximizing reliability in critical applications across power generation, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing.

Core advantages and technical highlights

High-speed multi-channel capture: 3500/22M 288055-01 delivers simultaneous data capture across 16 channels at sampling rates up to 128,000 samples per second, ensuring no detail is missed in transient events. This high-speed capability preserves the 高频 components (high-frequency components) of vibration signals transmitted through cables like 177230-01-01-05, capturing the subtle harmonic patterns that indicate specific machinery faults. The synchronized sampling ensures accurate time-correlation between channels, critical for analyzing complex interactions between machinery components.

Flexible triggering capabilities: The module offers multiple trigger options including alarm events from other 3500 modules, external signals, manual activation, and scheduled captures. This flexibility allows users to capture data during predictable events (startups, shutdowns) and unexpected anomalies alike. Pre-trigger buffering captures data before the trigger event, providing essential context for understanding what led to the condition, while post-trigger recording captures the full evolution of the event.

Robust data storage and retrieval: With 8 GB onboard flash memory and SD card expansion capability, 3500/22M 288055-01 can store hours of high-resolution data for later analysis. Data is stored in industry-standard formats compatible with diagnostic software, enabling detailed waveform analysis, spectral analysis, and trend comparison. The module prioritizes critical event storage, ensuring important data is preserved even when memory is limited.

Seamless system integration: Designed specifically for the 3500 architecture, 3500/22M 288055-01 integrates with all system modules including vibration monitors, temperature modules, and display units. It shares synchronized timing with the entire system, ensuring accurate correlation between transient data and other machinery parameters. Ethernet connectivity enables remote data retrieval and configuration, supporting analysis by experts regardless of location.

Typical application scenarios

In steam turbine power plants, 3500/22M 288055-01 modules capture transient data during startup sequences and trip events, recording vibration patterns from probes connected via 177230-01-01-05 cables. When a turbine trips, the module captures pre- and post-trip data, allowing engineers to analyze whether the trip was caused by genuine machinery issues or nuisance alarms. This data is critical for optimizing startup procedures and reducing unplanned downtime in power generation facilities.

LNG processing facilities utilize 3500/22M 288055-01 to monitor compressor trains during upset conditions, capturing transient vibration data during pressure fluctuations or surge events. The module’s high sampling rate preserves the rapid pressure and vibration changes that occur during surges, helping engineers adjust anti-surge controls to prevent recurrence. The correlation between vibration data and process parameters supports more effective protection strategies for these capital-intensive compressors.

Steel mills employ 3500/22M 288055-01 to monitor rolling mill drives, capturing transient data during load changes and emergency stops. The module records vibration patterns from motor and gearbox bearings connected through 177230-01-01-05 cables, enabling analysis of how mechanical components respond to rapid torque variations. This information helps maintenance teams identify fatigue points and schedule preventive maintenance before catastrophic failures occur in continuous production environments.
