Main Features and Advantages:BENTLY 3500/32 125720-01
Multi-Channel Flexibility: The BENTLY 3500/32 125720-01 accommodates up to four analog inputs, each configurable for different sensor types and signal ranges. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple single-channel modules, simplifying system design and reducing hardware costs. For example, a single module can simultaneously monitor vibration (±10 VDC) from a proximity probe and temperature (4–20 mA) from a thermocouple on the same piece of equipment.
Advanced Signal Processing: Built-in digital filtering and linearization algorithms ensure that raw sensor data is accurately conditioned for analysis. The module’s 16-bit ADC provides high-resolution measurements, enabling early detection of subtle machinery anomalies—such as incipient bearing wear or imbalance—that might otherwise go unnoticed. Real-time trend analysis via Bently’s software further enhances predictive maintenance capabilities.
Rugged Industrial Design: Constructed with a reinforced metal chassis and conformal-coated PCBs, the BENTLY 3500/32 125720-01 withstands extreme environmental conditions, including high vibration, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) makes it suitable for both indoor control rooms and outdoor installations, such as offshore platforms or mining facilities.
Seamless System Integration: As part of the 3500 Series, the module integrates seamlessly with other 3500 components, such as the 3500/22M Proximitor Monitor and 3500/95 Communication Gateway. This ecosystem approach ensures unified configuration, diagnostics, and data management, streamlining system commissioning and maintenance.
Enhanced Diagnostics: The module features front-panel LED indicators for power, communication, and channel status, allowing quick visual verification of operational health. Internal self-test (BIST) functionality continuously monitors ADC performance, power supply stability, and signal integrity, with fault conditions reported to the system’s HMI for immediate attention.
