Product introduction

The BENTLY NEVADA 170180-01-00 is a high-performance system configuration and diagnostic software, designed to serve as the advanced management platform for 3500 series machinery protection systems. Building on the capabilities of basic configuration tools, it provides engineers and maintenance teams with comprehensive control over system setup, real-time diagnostics, and in-depth data analysis—seamlessly integrating with the 3500/05 rack interface module and all connected 3500 series components.

As the centralized software hub, 170180-01-00 enables users to configure complex system architectures, monitor module health, and analyze machinery performance trends with greater precision. It acts as a critical link between the 3500/05 (the hardware backbone) and operational decision-makers, translating raw data from modules like the 3500/42 176449-02 (transducer signal conditioner) and 3500/60 163179-01 (relay module) into actionable insights. Whether deployed in power generation, oil and gas, or manufacturing, this software enhances the efficiency of 3500 series systems by streamlining configuration workflows, accelerating troubleshooting, and enabling predictive maintenance strategies.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Advanced configuration management: 170180-01-00 offers a sophisticated interface for configuring complex 3500 series systems, far beyond basic setup tools. It allows users to create and save multi-rack configurations, with the ability to replicate settings across multiple 3500/05 modules—saving time in large-scale installations. For the 3500/42 176449-02, it provides granular control over thermocouple types, filtering parameters, and signal scaling, with built-in validation to prevent configuration errors that could compromise data accuracy.

Real-time diagnostic dashboard: The software features a customizable diagnostic dashboard that displays the health status of all connected modules, including the 3500/05 and its associated components. It highlights issues such as communication failures, calibration drift in the 3500/42 176449-02, or relay malfunctions in the 3500/60 163179-01, with detailed troubleshooting guides embedded directly in the interface. This proactive diagnostics capability reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) by pinpointing root causes quickly.

High-resolution data logging and analysis: 170180-01-00 captures and stores high-resolution data from 3500 series modules at user-defined intervals (down to 1ms), enabling detailed trend analysis. It automatically synchronizes time-stamped data from the 3500/42 176449-02 (e.g., temperature, pressure) with vibration and speed data from other modules, using the 3500/05 as the synchronization reference. Advanced analytics tools, including FFT analysis and spectral trending, help identify early signs of machinery degradation, such as bearing wear or misalignment.

Integration with enterprise systems: The software supports APIs for seamless integration with enterprise systems such as CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems) and ERP platforms. It can automatically export alarm data from the 3500/05 and performance reports to these systems, ensuring that maintenance teams have real-time access to critical information. This integration bridges the gap between machinery protection and broader operational management, enhancing workflow efficiency.

Typical application scenarios

In a nuclear power plant, 170180-01-00 is used to manage multiple 3500 series racks monitoring turbine generators. Engineers use the software to configure redundant 3500/05 modules and set up complex alarm logic for the 3500/42 176449-02 (monitoring coolant temperatures) and vibration modules. The real-time diagnostic dashboard alerts operators to minor calibration drift in a 3500/42 176449-02 channel, allowing for scheduled recalibration during a planned outage—avoiding unplanned downtime. High-resolution data logs are analyzed to identify subtle vibration trends, enabling predictive maintenance of turbine bearings.

Within an offshore oil platform’s compressor station, the software connects to 3500/05 modules across multiple racks, aggregating data from 3500/42 176449-02 (measuring discharge pressure and temperature) and 3500/60 163179-01 (relay status). It generates compliance reports for regulatory bodies, detailing pressure fluctuations and safety system activations, with data automatically timestamped via the 3500/05’s clock synchronization. The software’s enterprise integration capabilities push critical alarms to the platform’s CMMS, triggering work orders for maintenance teams.

In a large manufacturing facility with distributed production lines, 170180-01-00 manages over 50 3500 series racks, each controlled by a 3500/05 module. It allows engineers to configure standardized settings for 3500/42 176449-02 modules across all lines, ensuring consistency in temperature and pressure monitoring. The software’s trend analysis tools identify a correlation between motor temperature spikes (from 3500/42 176449-02) and production quality issues, leading to adjustments in operating parameters that reduce scrap rates by 15%.

Relationship with 3500/05 and other modules

170180-01-00 acts as the software counterpart to the 3500/05 hardware hub, forming the core of the 3500 series management ecosystem:

With 3500/05: The software communicates directly with the 3500/05 via Ethernet, using it as the gateway to configure and monitor all modules in the rack. It uploads complex system configurations to the 3500/05’s non-volatile memory and retrieves real-time data, including aggregated alarms and module statuses. 170180-01-00 also synchronizes its clock with the 3500/05 to ensure time-stamped data accuracy across the system.

With 3500/42 176449-02: The software provides advanced configuration options for the signal conditioner, such as custom thermocouple linearization curves and dynamic filtering profiles. It retrieves high-resolution conditioned data from the 3500/42 176449-02 via the 3500/05, storing it for trend analysis and correlation with other parameters (e.g., vibration, speed).

With 3500/60 163179-01: 170180-01-00 configures relay logic for the module, including latching conditions and interlock settings, and monitors relay activation status via the 3500/05. It logs all relay actions with time stamps and associated sensor data, enabling post-event analysis of shutdowns or alarms.

With 3500/50 133388-02: The software allows users to design custom display screens for the local display module, defining which parameters from the 3500/42 176449-02 and other modules are shown. It also retrieves operator actions logged by the 3500/50 133388-02 (e.g., manual overrides) for audit trails.
