Features:
- RTD and Isolated Tip Thermocouple Temperature Monitoring for 3500 Rack Systems
- 16-Channel Temperature Input Conditioning with User-Programmable Alarm Setpointst
- Compatible with Triple Modular Redundant Configurations and Standard 3500 Monitors
The Bently Nevada 172103-01 3500/65 RTD/Isolated Tip TC I/O Module with Internal Terminations serves as the dedicated temperature monitoring interface within a 3500 rack, providing precise temperature measurement capabilities across 16 independent channels. The 172103-01 accepts both resistance temperature detector (RTD) and isolated tip thermocouple (TC) temperature inputs, conditions these signals, and compares them against user-programmable alarm setpoints to enable early detection of thermal anomalies. The 172103-01 is configured using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, allowing operators to set up the module to accept isolated tip thermocouples, 3-wire RTD, 4-wire RTD, or a combination of TC and RTD inputs depending on the specific application requirements.
The 172103-01 provides essential temperature monitoring functions critical to the protection of rotating machinery assets, and is a vital component of the overall monitoring path, directly influencing the accuracy and reliability of thermal protection strategies. One 172103-01 module occupies a standard slot within the 3500 rack and integrates seamlessly with the rack backplane for signal processing and communication with other system modules.
For Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) applications, the 172103-01 must be installed in groups of 3 adjacent monitors. In addition to standard single-module operation, the TMR configuration performs dual voting mechanisms to ensure accurate operation and prevent single-point failures. The 172103-01 TMR setup continually monitors the health of all three modules through internal voting logic. If the system detects that one 172103-01 module is providing inconsistent or out-of-tolerance readings compared to the other two, it will automatically disregard the faulty channel and place an event in the System Event List, maintaining continuous and reliable temperature monitoring.
The 172103-01 Bently Nevada RTD/Isolated Tip TC I/O Module with Internal Terminations may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
