Real-World Use & Application Scenarios
In industrial environments where precise shaft speed and position monitoring are crucial, the BENTLY 135473-01 plays a vital role in supporting machinery condition monitoring and control systems. It is widely used in power plants, petrochemical facilities, and manufacturing plants where rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and motors require accurate shaft phase reference and speed measurement. This module is essential in predictive maintenance programs, enabling engineers to detect imbalances, misalignments, or other faults early through keyphasor signal processing. The BENTLY 135473-01 is employed within automation and control systems that demand real-time data for vibration analysis, shaft position feedback, and machine protection, helping minimize downtime and extend asset life. Its ability to transform raw sensor data into actionable signals directly addresses the challenges faced in monitoring complex rotating machinery under rigorous operating conditions.
Product Introduction & Positioning
The BENTLY 135473-01 is a Keyphasor I/O Module designed as part of the Bently Nevada 3500 Series machinery protection system. It receives inputs from proximity probes, tachometers, and general-purpose digital sensors, converting these signals into digital keyphasor outputs that represent once-per-turn or multiple events per revolution of a shaft or gear. These outputs are critical for shaft speed measurement, phase referencing, and synchronization within protection and control systems. The module is designed for DIN rail mounting and integrates fully with Bently Nevada 3500 and 3300 Series control systems, enabling seamless data acquisition and system-wide synchronization. Engineers appreciate this module for its signal conditioning features such as filtering, amplification, and isolation, which ensure high fidelity and noise-free keyphasor signals vital for accurate machine diagnostics.

Installation Notes & Maintenance Best Practices
The BENTLY 135473-01 is designed for DIN rail mounting within standard control cabinets or 3500 Series racks. Ensure proper grounding and twisted shielded cabling for proximity probe or tachometer inputs to minimize electrical noise and signal distortion. Regular inspection of connection integrity and cleaning of mounting surfaces helps maintain signal reliability. During maintenance, verify keyphasor output signals with diagnostic tools to confirm correct pulse timing and frequency.
Firmware and configuration settings should be backed up routinely to preserve system configurations during module replacement or upgrades. As the module operates continuously in demanding industrial environments, periodic cleaning around ventilation areas and connectors extends component life. Recalibration or alignment checks may be necessary after major equipment overhauls to ensure measurement accuracy.
