BENTLY 3500/50 288062-02

Product introduction

The Bently Nevada 3500/50 288062-02 is a dedicated operator interface module, serving as the primary local monitoring hub within the 3500 series machinery protection system. It provides real-time visualization of critical machinery parameters, enabling operators to quickly assess equipment health and respond to alarms without relying solely on remote systems.

Designed to consolidate data from interconnected modules like the 3500/25 125792-01 Keyphasor module and 3500/33 vibration monitor, the 3500/50 288062-02 displays key metrics such as rotational speed, vibration amplitude, phase angles, and temperature readings. Its intuitive interface bridges the gap between complex sensor data and actionable operator decisions, making it an essential component in both attended and semi-automated industrial environments.

With its rugged construction and dual mounting compatibility, the 3500/50 288062-02 thrives in harsh industrial settings—from power plant turbine halls to offshore drilling platforms. It complements remote monitoring via 170180-01-00 software by providing on-site access to real-time data, ensuring operators have immediate visibility during critical situations such as startup sequences or alarm events.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Centralized data visualization: The 3500/50 288062-02 aggregates data from all connected 3500 series modules, including speed and phase information from the 3500/25 125792-01 and vibration data from the 3500/33. Its 320×240 pixel display organizes this information into customizable screens, allowing operators to view system-wide status or drill down into specific parameters like turbine shaft vibration or bearing temperature. This consolidation eliminates the need to cross-reference data from multiple sources, reducing response time during critical events.

Local alarm management: Equipped with 8 configurable function keys, the 3500/50 288062-02 enables operators to acknowledge alarms, reset counters, or navigate to preprogrammed screens with a single press. It prioritizes critical alerts—such as overspeed conditions detected by the 3500/25 125792-01—by displaying them prominently and activating LED indicators, ensuring urgent issues aren’t overlooked. This local control is invaluable during network outages when remote access via 170180-01-00 software may be unavailable.

Dual connectivity options: The module’s Ethernet port facilitates data synchronization with 170180-01-00 software, ensuring local and remote displays remain consistent. The USB port allows for on-site data logging, configuration backups, or firmware updates without network access. This flexibility makes the 3500/50 288062-02 adaptable to both networked facilities and isolated installations, such as remote pump stations or mobile equipment skids.

Rugged design for industrial environments: Built to withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C) and high humidity, the 3500/50 288062-02 maintains functionality in the harshest operating conditions. Its backlit LCD remains readable under varying lighting—from direct sunlight to dimly lit control rooms—and the tactile buttons resist wear from frequent use, ensuring reliable operation over extended service life.

Typical application scenarios

In a coal-fired power plant, the 3500/50 288062-02 is installed in the turbine control room, connected to a 3500 series rack monitoring the main steam turbine. It displays real-time speed data from the 3500/25 125792-01 Keyphasor module, vibration levels from the 3500/33, and temperature readings conditioned by the 3500/40-03-00 176449-01. During turbine startup, operators use the module’s function keys to navigate through preprogrammed screens showing Bode plots (synchronized via the 3500/25 125792-01), ensuring the unit accelerates smoothly through critical speed ranges without exceeding vibration limits.

At an offshore oil platform, the 3500/50 288062-02 serves as the local interface for monitoring a gas compressor train. Mounted in a weatherproof control cabinet, it provides drill floor operators with instant access to compressor discharge pressure, bearing vibration, and rotational speed—even when communication with the onshore SCADA system is intermittent. When the 3500/33 detects excessive vibration, the module’s LED indicators flash, and operators can press a dedicated button to view trend data from the 3500/25 125792-01, helping determine if the issue is transient or requires immediate shutdown.

In a chemical plant’s refrigeration unit, the 3500/50 288062-02 monitors a large ammonia compressor. It displays synchronized data from the 3500/25 125792-01 (speed) and 3500/40-03-00 176449-01 (oil pressure, discharge temperature), allowing operators to correlate parameter changes during load fluctuations. The USB port is used weekly to export data logs for comparison with 170180-01-00 software analytics, helping maintenance teams identify efficiency trends and schedule preventive service.
