Bently Nevada 129974-01 Monitoring I/O Module

Description

The Bently Nevada 129974-01 is a high-reliability monitoring and I/O module designed for the 3500 and 3300 Series Machinery Protection Systems. It serves as a critical interface between field sensors—such as proximity probes and accelerometers—and the central control system, providing precise signal conditioning and power distribution for real-time machinery health diagnostics.

Specifications

• Part Number: 129974-01
• Input Signal Range: Supports standard ±10 Vpp voltage or 4–20 mA current signals.
• Transducer Power: Provides -24 Vdc regulated power (up to 40 mA) to field sensors.
• Operating Temperature: Extremely wide range from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).
• Signal Accuracy: Typically ±0.33% with a maximum variance of ±1% for static values.
• Frequency Response: Configurable filters ranging from 4 Hz to 4 kHz (vibration) or 0.017 Hz to 20 kHz (speed).
• Enclosure Rating: IP65 rated, ensuring high resistance to dust and water ingress.
• Power Consumption: Rated at approximately 10 to 40 Watts depending on configuration.

Features

• Versatile Sensor Support: Accepts inputs from both eddy current proximity probes and industrial velocity/acceleration transducers.
• Integrated Signal Conditioning: Removes signal noise and conditions data for stable transmission to PLCs or DCS without external calibration.
• Advanced Alarm Logic: Features programmable Alert and Danger thresholds with adjustable time delays to prevent false tripping.
• Fault Tolerance: Supports redundant configurations to ensure fail-safe operation in mission-critical monitoring environments.
• Diagnostic Indicators: Equipped with front-panel LEDs (OK, TX/RX, Bypass) for immediate visual status assessment of the module and signal loops.
• Robust Circuit Protection: Includes built-in overvoltage and reverse polarity protection to safeguard the module against electrical faults.
