Bently Nevada 141379-01 Proximitor Input Module

The Bently Nevada 1701/15-141379-01 is a two-channel Proximitor Input Module designed to monitor and process signals from proximity probes. This module is a key component of Bently Nevada’s FieldMonitor line of products, providing critical monitoring capabilities for various parameters in industrial machinery. It is commonly used in predictive maintenance programs to detect potential machinery issues early, helping to avoid unplanned downtime and prevent equipment failures.

Key Components:

• Bently Nevada 1701/15: This is the model series, referring to the FieldMonitor Proximitor Input Module. FieldMonitor products are known for their reliability in monitoring industrial machinery.

• Proximitor Input Module: The core functionality of the device, this module accepts input signals from proximity probes, which are sensors used to detect the presence or absence of objects without physical contact.

• 141379-01: Internal product code used by Bently Nevada for identification and tracking purposes.

Functionalities:

• Signal Input: The module can receive signals from two connected proximity probes, enabling dual-channel monitoring.

• Signal Conditioning: It processes raw signals from the probes and converts them into standardized output, such as voltage or current.

• Setpoint Comparison: User-defined alarm setpoints can be programmed into the module. The module continuously compares the conditioned signals to these setpoints.

• Alarm Generation: If the signal exceeds or falls below the preset setpoints, the module triggers an alarm, providing an early warning of potential issues.

• Communication: The module can send alarms and relevant information to a host control system for further monitoring and analysis, allowing for timely intervention when necessary.
