BENTLY 350045 Position Monitor

BENTLY 350045 Position Monitor

DESCRIPTION

The 3500/45 Position Monitor is a 4-channel instrument that accepts input from proximity transducers, Rotary Position Transducers (RPTs), DC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (DC LVDTs), AC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (AC LVDTs), and rotary potentiometers. The monitor conditions the input and compares the conditioned signals with user-programmable alarms.

You can program each channel using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software to perform the following functions:

Axial (thrust) Position 

Differential Expansion 

Standard Single Ramp Differential Expansion 

Non-standard Single Ramp Differential Expansion 

Dual Ramp Differential Expansion 

Complementary Differential Expansion 

Case Expansion 

Valve Position

Product Overview

The BENTLY 3500/45 Position Monitor is a four-channel instrument manufactured by Bently Nevada that accepts inputs from proximity sensors, rotary position transducers (RPTs), DC linear variable differential transformers (DC LVDTs), AC linear variable differential transformers (AC LVDTs), and rotary potentiometers. The monitor regulates the input signals and compares the regulated signals with user-programmable alarms to accurately monitor machine operation.

Main Functions

Four-channel monitoring: With four independent monitoring channels, the 3500/45 position monitor can monitor multiple positional parameters at the same time, improving monitoring efficiency and accuracy.

Multiple sensor inputs: It supports multiple types of sensor inputs, including proximity sensors, rotary position sensors, etc., which meets the needs of different application scenarios.

Signal Adjustment and Alarm: Adjust the input signal to ensure the accuracy and stability of the signal. At the same time, the regulated signals are compared with user-programmable alarms, triggering alarms when parameters are out of the preset range to remind operators to take timely measures.

Programmability: Using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, the user can program each channel to perform different monitoring tasks, such as axial (thrust) position monitoring, differential expansion monitoring (including standard single-slope, non-standard single-slope, and double-slope expansions), complementary differential expansions, enclosure expansion, and valve position monitoring.

Product Features

High-precision Measurement: The 3500/45 Position Monitor provides high-precision position measurement and is capable of accurately monitoring the shaft position of rotating machinery and its variations.

Real-time monitoring: It provides real-time data acquisition and analysis functions, which can instantly reflect the status of equipment and support real-time alarms and notifications.

High Reliability: Designed to emphasise high reliability and durability, it is suitable for applications in industrial environments that require high reliability.

Modular design: As a modular component of the 3500 series, the 3500/45 position monitor can be easily installed, configured and maintained.

Mechanical safety protection: Mechanical safety protection is provided to ensure the safety of equipment and operators.
