Product introduction

The BENTLY NEVADA 3500/50 133388-02 is a dedicated display module designed to provide local visualization and control capabilities for 3500 series machinery protection systems. As a critical on-site interface, it enables operators and maintenance personnel to monitor real-time data, view alarm statuses, and access diagnostic information without relying on remote software like 170190-01E or network-connected systems.

This module integrates seamlessly with the 3500 series rack via the backplane, receiving data from all connected modules—including the 3500/93 communication gateway, 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01 rack interface, 3500/25 149369-01 Keyphasor monitor, and vibration monitors. Its 5.7-inch color LCD display presents information in a clear, intuitive format, with customizable screens for different machinery or process areas. Whether deployed in control rooms, machinery enclosures, or field cabinets, the 3500/50 133388-02 ensures that critical machinery health data is accessible at the point of need, supporting quick decision-making and efficient troubleshooting.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Localized real-time monitoring: The 3500/50 133388-02 provides immediate access to real-time data from 3500 series modules, eliminating the need for remote software or network connectivity. Operators can view vibration amplitudes (from 3500/33 149986-01), shaft speeds (from 3500/25 149369-01), and system statuses directly at the rack location. This is particularly valuable during maintenance or in areas with limited network coverage, where timely access to data is critical.

Intuitive alarm visualization: The module uses color-coded indicators (red for danger, yellow for alert, green for normal) to highlight alarm statuses, ensuring that critical issues are immediately visible. Alarms from connected modules—such as excessive vibration or speed excursions—are prioritized and displayed with timestamps, enabling operators to quickly identify and respond to problems. Unlike remote monitoring via the 3500/93 gateway, the 3500/50 133388-02 provides instant, on-site alarm notification without network latency.

Customizable display screens: Users can configure the 3500/50 133388-02 to display specific data points relevant to their operations, such as turbine vibration trends or pump speed profiles. Screens can be customized for different machinery types or process areas, with options to show numerical values, bar graphs, or trend lines. This flexibility ensures that operators see only the most relevant information, reducing cognitive load and improving efficiency.

Offline data access and export: Equipped with a USB port, the module allows for local data export—even when disconnected from the network or 3500/93 gateway. Maintenance teams can save historical data, alarm logs, or configuration settings to a USB drive for later analysis in 170190-01E software. This feature ensures that critical data is preserved during network outages or system upgrades.

Typical application scenarios

In remote power plant substations with limited network connectivity, the 3500/50 133388-02 serves as the primary monitoring interface for 3500 series racks protecting transformers and auxiliary equipment. It displays vibration data from cooling fan motors (monitored by 3500/33 149986-01) and rotational speed of pumps (from 3500/25 149369-01), allowing on-site technicians to assess machinery health without relying on the 3500/93 gateway or cloud platforms. The USB port enables data export for later analysis at the main plant.

Within refinery compressor stations, the module is installed alongside 3500 racks to provide local monitoring of critical compressors. It displays real-time discharge pressure, vibration levels, and Keyphasor data, with color-coded alarms for bearing temperature excursions. During scheduled maintenance, technicians use the display to verify sensor calibration and configuration changes before reconnecting the system to the plant’s SCADA via the 3500/93 module.

In manufacturing facilities with distributed production lines, the 3500/50 133388-02 is deployed at each 3500 rack location, providing line operators with immediate visibility into machinery health. For example, on a packaging line, it displays conveyor motor vibration and gearbox speed data, alerting operators to jams or misalignment via red alarms. This local monitoring reduces response time compared to waiting for alerts from a central control room via the 3500/93 gateway.

Relationship with 3500/93 and other modules

The 3500/50 133388-02 complements the 3500/93 communication gateway and other 3500 series modules, forming a comprehensive monitoring ecosystem:

With 3500/93: The display module provides local redundancy to the 3500/93’s network-based monitoring. While the 3500/93 transmits data to remote systems, the 3500/50 133388-02 ensures that data remains accessible on-site, even during network outages. It can also display data received from the 3500/93’s cloud or enterprise integrations, such as predicted maintenance timelines from IoT analytics.

With 3500/05-01-02-00-00-01: It receives aggregated rack data from the interface module, including real-time measurements and alarm statuses. The 3500/50 133388-02 can display this data in parallel with the 170190-01E software, providing both local and remote visibility.

With 3500/25 149369-01: The display module visualizes Keyphasor data (shaft speed, phase angle) in user-friendly formats, such as analog gauges or digital readouts. This complements the 3500/93’s role in transmitting this data to cloud platforms by making it immediately accessible to on-site personnel.

With 170190-01E software: Configurations for the 3500/50 133388-02 (e.g., display screens, alarm thresholds) can be created in the software and pushed to the module via the 3500/93 or USB drive. Data exported from the module via USB can be imported into the software for detailed analysis.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Install the 3500/50 133388-02 in the 3500 rack, occupying 2 consecutive slots. Power off the rack and use an anti-static wrist strap. Ensure the installation location provides visibility for operators—avoid direct sunlight, which can wash out the display. Required tools include a torque wrench (0.5-0.7Nm) and Phillips screwdriver.

Installation steps: Align the module with the rack guides, ensuring the backplane connector is properly positioned. Gently insert until the connector engages, then secure with mounting screws using the torque wrench. Connect a VGA cable if an external monitor is needed (optional). No network connection is required for basic operation, but the module will automatically communicate with other 3500 series modules via the backplane.

Commissioning: Power on the rack and allow the 3500/50 133388-02 to initialize. Use the front-panel keys to navigate to the configuration menu, or connect a laptop via USB to upload settings from 170190-01E software. Configure display screens to show relevant data points (e.g., vibration channels from 3500/33 149986-01, speed from 3500/25 149369-01). Set up alarm color coding and priority levels. Test data export by saving a log file to a USB drive and verifying it opens correctly in the software.

Maintenance suggestions: Perform monthly visual inspections to check for loose connections, dust on the display, or backlight dimming. Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth—avoid harsh chemicals. Quarterly, verify that all data points are updating correctly and alarms are triggering as expected. Calibrate the display contrast if visibility degrades. If the backlight fails, contact technical support for replacement. Backup configurations to a USB drive and 170190-01E software to facilitate quick recovery in case of module failure.
