Bently Nevada 60M100 Condition Monitoring System Monitor

Description

The 60M100 Condition Monitoring System utilises complex signal processing algorithms and machine operating conditions to continuously monitor wind turbine units.

As part of Condition Based Maintenance, the 60M100 monitoring system detects defects months before a potential failure occurs.

Depending on the size of the wind farm, early detection can reduce downtime and lost production, saving you hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in lost revenue each year.

With the advanced knowledge provided by the 60M100. you can reduce maintenance costs by scheduling maintenance downtime and crane operations in advance.

The 60M100 monitor can be used in a variety of configurations:

As a stand-alone condition monitoring system.

As a networked, distributed, interoperable system.

As an integrated part of the machine OEM's control and instrumentation package.

The 60M100 Monitor offers features and benefits not found in other systems.

The monitoring system has all the features required for wind turbine condition monitoring, including signal conditioning, alarms, configuration, speed inputs and control system communications.

System components include the 60M100 monitor, Adapt.wind software, sensors and cables.

Advanced signal processing algorithms extract dozens of measurements and health indices from each accelerometer point and can be customised to suit specific bearing and gearbox characteristics.

60M100 Overview

The 60M100 Condition Monitoring System has been specifically designed for continuous permanent monitoring of wind turbine generator sets.

The system is designed to monitor equipment where reliability and availability are critical.

The 60M100 system is designed to monitor the basic characteristics and components of a wind turbine generator, including.

Tower sway

Main bearings

Main rotor

Gearboxes

All internal bearings

All bearing engagement

Debris monitoring

Generator bearings

Generator Grounding

Digital Communications

The 60M100 system has digital communications capabilities to connect to ADAPT software using a proprietary prtocol over an Ethernet connection.

The 60M100 system transmits data via Ethernet TCP/IP. You can monitor the values and status of process and control and other automation systems.

The 60M100 system provides extensive communication capabilities for all monitored values and statuses.

It can be integrated with process control and other automation systems that use Ethernet TCP/IP communication functions.

It allows Ethernet communication with other 60M100 systems and system software.

Supported protocols include

Modbus/TCP

The industry standard Modbus protocol over TCP.

The 60M100 supports both server and client modes.

System Features

The 60M100 monitors up to 150 static variables and generates high resolution waveform data and trend lines.

The 60M100 is a powerful and versatile condition monitoring system.

It provides basic monitoring functions and advanced signal processing and rules in a compact, rugged unit.

The module modulates the input signal to make a variety of measurements and compares the modulated signal with user-programmable alarms.

The 60M100 system is capable of receiving input signals from different types of sensors.

It supports up to 12 dynamic channel inputs, two key signals and digital communications. Channels 1 to 10 are connected to a 2-wire ICP type accelerometer.

Channels 11 and 12 can be configured to interface with 2-wire ICP-type sensors or 3-wire proximity probes.

Each dynamic channel can be configured independently with flexible signal processing options.

The Keyphasor channels can be connected to 3-wire proximity probes or other externally powered speed sensors.

The module enhances monitoring of rolling bearing machinery and gears with 24-bit analogue/digital conversion and a 40 kHz bandwidth design.

The 60M100 system is not a replacement for hard-wired safety systems, nor is it a replacement for standard systems that collect data on wind turbine operation.
