Description
Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/50M-01-01-01 Tachometer Module is a dual-channel speed monitor for rotating machinery. It reads proximity probe or magnetic pickup signals. It captures shaft speed, acceleration, and direction. And it supports alarm setpoints for protection. It fits into the 3500 rack and uses the Rack Configuration Software. It suits turbines, compressors, motors, and high-value assets.
Core Functions
- Speed Monitoring for rotating assets
- Setpoint Alarming with user-defined thresholds
- Speed Band Alarming for dynamic zones
- Zero Speed Notification for shutdown feedback
- Reverse Rotation Notification for protection
- Rotor Acceleration Alarming for safety logic

FAQ
Q: What sensor type works best for critical speed protection?
A: Proximity probes provide the most stable measurement in high-value assets.
Q: Can I read live diagnostic signals without shutdown?
A: Yes, use the coaxial buffered jacks for real-time testing.
Q: Does the module force rack communication settings?
A: It follows the existing rack bus rules defined in configuration.
Q: What is the best practice before enabling alarms?
A: Confirm setpoint values and validate shutdown logic during a dry-run test.
Q: Can recorder output feed a PLC or DCS loop?
A: Yes, 4-20 mA output supports standard analog input cards.
