BENTLY 3500/25-02-01-00

The BENTLY 3500/25-SIL2-01-01-R0 appears to be a specific variant of the Bently Nevada 3500 Enhanced Keyphasor Module designed for use within the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection system in industrial applications, with an emphasis on functional safety. Here’s a breakdown of what we can glean from publicly available resources:

Function:

  Provides Keyphasor signals to the monitor modules in a 3500 system. A Keyphasor signal is a critical timing pulse generated once per revolution from a shaft or gear on a rotating machine. This precise measurement is crucial for various machinery protection functions like:

• • Machine speed monitoring
  • Shaft relative position monitoring in multi-shaft machines
  • Order tracking analysis for vibration analysis

Key Characteristics (Based on publicly available information):

• Offers two independent Keyphasor signal channels.
• Half-height module for efficient use of space within a Bently Nevada 3500 rack.
• Rugged construction for harsh industrial environments (dust, moisture, etc.).
• SIL 2 Safety Level (likely): The “SIL2” in the designation suggests this module is designed to meet Safety Integrity Level 2 requirements according to IEC 61508, an international standard for functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems. This indicates the module has been developed with features to minimize the probability of random hardware failures that could impact safety functions.
• Internal Barrier I/O (possible): While not explicitly mentioned, the absence of “03” in the suffix might not necessarily rule out internal electrical isolation. Bently Nevada might offer SIL2 variants with or without internal barrier I/O depending on the specific application.
