Application
Power industry: In thermal power plants, it can be used to monitor the rotational speed of steam turbines. The steam
turbine is the core equipment of a power plant, operating at a high speed. If it exceeds the speed limit, it may lead to
serious accidents such as blade breakage and shafting damage. The 3500/54 module can monitor its rotational speed
in real time. When the rotational speed exceeds the set threshold, it will promptly issue an alarm signal and trigger
shutdown protection to ensure the safe operation of the steam turbine. In addition, it can also play the same
overspeed protection role in power generation equipment such as gas turbines and water turbines, ensuring the stable
and reliable operation of the power generation units.
The petrochemical industry: In oil and gas refineries, there are numerous high-speed rotating mechanical equipment,
such as compressors and pumps. During the operation of these devices, if the rotational speed gets out of control, it
may cause dangerous situations such as equipment damage and material leakage, threatening production safety and
the environment. The Bently 3500/54 overspeed detection module can precisely monitor its rotational speed, providing
reliable overspeed protection for the equipment and ensuring the safety and stability of the petrochemical production
process.
In the metallurgical industry, during the metallurgical production process, equipment such as blast furnace blowers
and main drive motors of rolling mills have high requirements for the stability of rotational speed. Abnormal rotational
speed may affect the quality of steel and even lead to equipment failure and production halt. The 3500/54 overspeed
detection module can monitor the rotational speed of these devices in real time, preventing equipment damage and
production accidents caused by overspeed, and helping to improve the efficiency of metallurgical production and
product quality.
In the machinery manufacturing industry, in some large-scale mechanical processing equipment, such as high-speed
cutting machine tools and large centrifuges, the equipment operates at a relatively high speed, and strict requirements
are placed on speed control and protection. The Bently 3500/54 overspeed detection module can be used for these
devices to monitor the rotational speed in real time. When there is a risk of overspeed, it will promptly alarm or take
protective measures to prevent the equipment from being damaged due to overspeed and ensure the safety of the
operators at the same time.
Detection process and methods
1. Daily status monitoring
Visual inspection:
Check whether the module housing is damaged, deformed or corroded, whether the terminal blocks are loose or
oxidized, and whether the indicator light status is normal (such as power light, operation light, alarm light).
Check whether the installation of the module and the rack is firm and whether the heat dissipation holes are blocked.
Signal input detection
Use a multimeter to measure the sensor input signal (range: +10.0V to -24.0V), and confirm whether the
corresponding
relationship between the signal amplitude and the mechanical rotational speed is normal (for example, when the
rotational speed increases, the signal frequency should increase synchronously).
Observe the input signal waveform through an oscilloscope to ensure there is no obvious interference or distortion
(the normal waveform is a periodic sine wave or square wave).
Functional test
Set the simulated overspeed signal through software (such as Bently's Asset Condition Monitor) to verify whether the
module can trigger the alarm relay to act at the preset threshold (the response time should be
Check whether the communication interfaces of the module (such as RS485, CANopen, etc.) can normally transmit the
rotational speed data and alarm status. Real-time data can be read through the upper computer software.
2. Performance accuracy calibration
Rotational speed calibration
Use a rotational speed calibrator (such as a high-precision motor driving a standard gear disk) to simulate different
rotational speed conditions (covering 99,999 revolutions from 0 to full scale), and compare the error between the
module output value and the actual rotational speed (the accuracy should be ≤±0.1% full scale).
If the error exceeds the range, calibration can be carried out through the module configuration software or the
hardware zero/gain adjustment knob (refer to the manual for operation).
Relay action threshold calibration
Gradually increase the simulated rotational speed, record the actual rotational speed when the alarm relay operates,
and compare it with the preset threshold (allowable error ±0.5%). If the deviation is large, the software threshold needs
to be reset or the relay contact status needs to be checked.
3. Utilization of self-diagnostic function
The module is equipped with a built-in self-diagnostic system and can obtain fault information through the following
methods:
Status indicator light: If the "FAULT" light is on, it may indicate an internal circuit fault, sensor disconnection or
abnormal communication.
Communication interface reading: Through the upper computer software, the self-diagnostic code of the module (such
as abnormal sensor input, CPU error, memory failure, etc.) is read to locate the specific problem.
Maintenance Precautions
Safe operation
Before maintenance, disconnect the module power supply (220V AC) and wait for more than 5 minutes to prevent
static electricity from damaging the electronic components.
Wear an anti-static wristband and avoid touching the solder joints of the circuit board or the pins of the chip during
operation.
Spare parts and tools:
Regular vulnerable parts: relays, signal conditioning chips, communication chips, filter capacitors.
Specialized tools: oscilloscope, multimeter, programming Software (such as Bently 3500 Configuration Software),
rotational speed calibrator.
Calibration cycle:
It is recommended to conduct accuracy calibration every 12 months. In harsh environments (such as high temperature
and high vibration), the calibration period can be shortened to 6 months.
Record and Traceability
After the maintenance, information such as the fault phenomenon, replaced parts, and calibration data should be
recorded for reference in subsequent maintenance.
