5. Working Principle
The Bently Nevada 3500/60 temperature monitor module adopts a fully closed-loop temperature monitoring mechanism: sensor signal acquisition → hardware filtering & noise reduction → signal conditioning & correction → cold junction / linear compensation → high-precision calculation & sampling → threshold logic judgment → multi-level alarm output → data upload & traceability → hardware self-diagnosis & protection, realizing all-weather, high-precision and blind-spot-free online monitoring and safety protection of unit equipment temperature.
During normal unit operation, field RTD/TC temperature sensors collect real-time temperature signals of bearing shells, bearings, stators, lubricating oil, process media and other points. The signals are transmitted to each independent temperature measurement channel of the 3500/60 module through shielded cables. Raw temperature signals first go through on-board multi-stage hardware filtering, anti-interference processing and impedance matching to remove invalid signals induced by field electromagnetic noise, cable interference and ambient temperature difference. Then dedicated signal conditioning and compensation units complete thermocouple cold junction compensation, RTD resistance linear correction and loop voltage drop error correction to output accurate and stable standardized temperature data.
The core arithmetic unit of the module continuously compares measured temperature with preset system alarm thresholds. Under normal working conditions, real-time temperature data and channel status are uploaded steadily. When the measured temperature reaches Alert or Danger threshold, the module immediately triggers corresponding multi-level alarm logic, outputs alarm signals, records event sequence and fault codes, and links with the TSI system for warning prompts and protection interlock to prevent equipment damage caused by overheating. Meanwhile, the module continuously self-checks each channel loop, sensor status, power supply condition, communication link and hardware health status. Once open circuit, short circuit, abnormal signal or hardware fault is detected, it actively raises alarms, latches the faulty channel and uploads abnormal information, fully guaranteeing the integrity, precision and reliability of the unit temperature monitoring system.
