3500: 3500 TSI Machinery Protection System

/42М: 4-channel Proximitor/Seismic Monitor card. Суффикс “М” means dynamic waveform acquisition is supported. The legacy 3500/42 does not support dynamic data acquisition.

A09: Segment A = Sensor Input Option. 09 = Supports both Proximitor (Eddy Current) and Seismic sensors (velocity / acceleration).

B00: Segment B = Certification Option. 00 = Without CSA NRTL/C certification; B01 is the version with CSA certification.

Отличительные примечания

A01: Eddy current input only; A02: Seismic sensor input only; A09 hybrid type can connect to 3300XL eddy current probes for shaft vibration / axial displacement measurement, and also piezoelectric velocity sensors for bearing housing vibration measurement.

3500/40М: Speed and keyphase only; 3500/45: Temperature card; 3500/42M is the primary monitoring card for vibration and displacement.

1. Основные технические характеристики

III. Основные функции

1. Paired channel configuration: Channels 1&2 can be configured for shaft vibration while channels 3&4 for bearing housing vibration. The same card can mix eddy current and seismic sensors.
2. Static protection measurement: Calculate vibration amplitude and displacement values in real time, compare with setpoints to trigger Alert / Danger alarms, and send signals to 3500/33 relay card for hardwired unit trip protection.
3. Dynamic waveform acquisition (core feature of M version): Capture raw vibration waveforms, 1X/2X amplitude and phase, upload to System1 for spectrum and orbit analysis to diagnose faults such as rotor unbalance, misalignment and rub.
4. Sensor self-diagnosis: Detect probe open circuit, short circuit and excessive gap deviation; sensor faults are directly logged into rack event history.
5. REBAM® Bearing Condition Monitoring: Bently patented algorithm to evaluate bearing oil film stability.
6. Event logging: Alarms and sensor faults are recorded with timestamps, which can be uploaded to DCS through 3500/92 communication gateway card.
7. Типичные сценарии применения

Steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, осевые вентиляторы, большие моторы; TSI systems in thermal power, coal chemical and oil & gas refining industries.

Eddy current channels: Rotor radial vibration, axial displacement, differential expansion

Seismic channels: Bearing housing casing vibration (velocity / acceleration)

1. Установка & Рекомендации по настройке
2. Электропроводка: Eddy current probe extension cable + proximitor. Cable length must be matched (3300XL system uses fixed-length cables, must not be arbitrarily cut). Seismic sensor shielded cable with single-point grounding.
3. Configuration Procedure

Connect rack via Rack Configuration software and add 3500/42M card.

Channel grouping: Set channel1/2 to eddy current radial vibration; channel3/4 to seismic velocity.

Set sensor sensitivity, measurement range, Alert warning value and Danger trip setpoint.

Enable dynamic acquisition and configure waveform sampling parameters.

Download configuration to rack; confirm channel OK LED steady on, perform probe gap verification and simulate alarms to test relay operation.

3. ввод в эксплуатацию: Verify eddy current probe gap voltage (around -10V DC); calibrate seismic sensor sensitivity.
4. Common Troubleshooting Checklist
5. OK LED flashing: Отсутствующий / invalid card configuration, re-download rack configuration.
6. Channel reports sensor fault: Abnormal proximitor power supply, open/short circuit of cable, worn probe or out-of-range gap; check gap voltage output from proximitor.
7. Fluctuating vibration readings: Multi-point grounding of proximitor shield, cable routed near power cables causing interference; loose probe mounting.
8. Normal static value but no dynamic waveform in System1: Dynamic acquisition not enabled in configuration, or missing 3500/22M transient interface module.
9. Danger alarm fails to trigger relay: Verify alarm voting logic and configuration mapping between 3500/33 relay card.

Metrix ST5484E-123-434-22 Seismic Velocity Vibration Transmitter

Бренд: Метрикс (США). ST5484E is an integrated 2-wire loop-powered velocity vibration transmitter. It adopts built-in piezoelectric accelerometer core, integrating circuit and true RMS processing, directly outputs 4–20mA signal for bearing housing casing vibration monitoring. Different from Bently eddy current probes which measure shaft vibration.

6. Типичные сценарии применения

Bearing housing casing vibration monitoring for centrifugal pumps, фанаты, моторы, gearboxes and small compressors; нефтехимический, coal chemical and power plants.

>Comparison with Bently 3500/42M: ST5484E outputs standard 4-20mA to DCS and cannot provide raw dynamic waveform for spectrum analysis. Bently 42M can capture raw waveforms for fault diagnosis.

1. Установка & Руководство по вводу в эксплуатацию
2. Установка: Stud must be tightened on flat metal surface of bearing housing, polish and remove rust on contact surface. Sensor axial direction must align with measured vibration direction. Avoid installation on thin wall or stiffener (resonance interference).
3. Электропроводка: 2-wire intrinsically safe loop, intrinsically safe safety barrier is mandatory. Shielded cable single-point grounding; do not route together with power cables in the same cable tray.
4. Loop calculation: Maximum allowable loop resistance depends on supply voltage. Max loop resistance ≈650Ω under 24VDC supply.
5. Калибровка: Full-unit calibration on vibration shaker table. No zero or span adjustment knobs inside sensor; range cannot be modified on site.
6. Конфигурация: Set in DCS: 4mA=0 mm/s, 20mA=50.8 mm/s, configure high vibration alarm and high-high interlock setpoints.
7. Common Troubleshooting Checklist
8. Fixed 4mA output: Broken loop, faulty safety barrier, loss of sensor power supply; damaged internal sensing element.
9. Fixed 20mA output: Short circuit in loop, damaged internal circuit of sensor, vibration exceeds full scale.
10. Колеблющиеся показания: Свободное крепление, resonance on contact surface; multi-point grounding of shield; cable interference from inverter power lines.
11. Low vibration readings: Wrong installation direction; paint/gasket on contact surface leading to weakened vibration transmission.
