Bently Nevada 3500/70M 176449-09 Vibration Monitoring Module
I. Basic Model Definition
Brand: Bently Nevada (a subsidiary of Baker Hughes, Bently)
Full model: 3500/70M, Part Number 176449-09
Product Full Name: Recip Impulse Velocity Monitor – Vibration Monitoring Card for Reciprocating Machines
System Classification: 3500 Series TSI Unit Protection System, Compatible with 3500/05 Standard Rack, Supports Hot Swap
Positioning and Differentiation
3500/70M: Specialized for reciprocating compressors, compatible with pulse speed measurement + velocity / impact vibration collection
3500/25: General Speed Key Phase Card (Measures only speed and phase, no vibration channel)
3500/40M: Electromagnetic Vibration / Displacement Card (Specialized for rotating units, not suitable for reciprocating machines)
Life Cycle: Active main spare part, Original Factory continues to supply, Must-have for Maintenance of Chemical and Oil Gas Reciprocating Units

Core Functions (4 Independent Channels)
Designed specifically for reciprocating compressor and large reciprocating pumps, each card has 4 independent channels that can be independently configured:
Speed / Crankshaft Position Acquisition
Collecting MPU magnetic resistance probes and phase-locked pulse signals, it can measure the crankshaft speed RPM and crankshaft angle phase in real time, used for overspeed protection and stroke synchronization triggering.
Impact / Pulse Vibration Monitoring (Core Feature)
Collecting impact vibration of the casing and impact pulses of the components, identifying valve damage, piston ring wear, crosshead loosening, and liquid strike faults; supporting measurement of impact speed and peak pulse amplitude
Two-level Programmable Alarm Protection
Each channel independently sets Warning threshold and Danger threshold, over-limit outputs trigger relays for interlock, which can directly trigger the unit to stop for protection, meeting API670 mechanical protection standards
Signal Compatibility Types
VRS passive magnetic resistance speed sensor (such as Honeywell 3070A)
Piezoelectric impact speed sensor (specific for reciprocating machines)
Phase-locked Keyphasor pulse signal
System Communication and Data Upload
Through the 3500 rack backplane isolation RS485 Modbus RTU, the speed, impact vibration, and alarm status are uploaded to System1 software, DCS/PLC; supporting waveform recording and fault event storage
