Bently Nevada 3500 series Applications and industries

Applications and industries

Service and support

The table on page 5 summarizes the enormous selection

of measurement types available in the 3500. This allows it

to be applied to an extremely wide-range of rotating and

reciprocating machinery in many industries. Below are just

a few of the more common applications that can be easily

addressed by the 3500 System.

If your specific machine doesn’t appear on the list, just

ask us. Chances are, our applications engineers have

already developed a solution that’s right for you. And,

with our extensive custom applications capabilities, we

can easily modify off-the-shelf 3500 solutions to handle

your nonstandard applications and signal processing

requirements.

System 1

System 1†, connected to your 3500 Monitoring System,

delivers the comprehensive machinery wide diagnostic HMI

capability users need to make informed decisions on how to

proactively manage their machinery.

Connectivity

Seamless connectivity to Bently Nevada’s 3500 machinery

protection system with full access to available trend,

waveform, and event data. Standard integration to control

system PLCs through OPC DA protocol with full access to

applicable process data, first-outs, permissives, surge

control, and set points.

Visualization and management

Complete Diagnostic HMI desktop-based application,

designed to enable rich HMI overviews, extensive trend

diagnostics, vibration analysis, and proactive condition

monitoring.

Plant-wide scalability

Ability to scale connectivity beyond 3500 and the control

system to monitor more machinery leveraging other Bently

Nevada online, scanning, or portable devices in the same

System 1 platform.

Comprehensive diagnostic HMI implementation

Standardized & holistic machinery configurations based on

Bently Nevada best practices for vibration and process data.

Standard data connectivity (OPC, 3500. etc.) for overall machine

and key sub-systems (vibration, lube, seal, surge, etc.).

Optional hosted and/or remote monitoring

Access to Bently Nevada machinery experts through

standardized remote monitoring.
