3500/50 accelerometer 3500 for measuring machinery

The 3500/50M Tachometer Module is a sophisticated 2-channel module within the 3500 System, designed to accept inputs from proximity probes or magnetic pickups. Its primary function is to determine shaft rotative speed, rotor acceleration, or rotor direction, providing essential monitoring capabilities for rotating machinery. This module offers a range of configuration options and features, making it a versatile solution for diverse industrial applications.

Key Features:

1. Input Compatibility:
   • Accepts input from proximity probes or magnetic pickups, allowing for precise measurement of shaft rotative speed, rotor acceleration, or rotor direction.
2. Alarm Generation:
   • Compares measurements against user-programmable alarm setpoints.
   • Generates alarms when setpoints are violated, providing timely alerts for potential issues.
3. Configurable Options:
   • Programmed using the 3500 Rack Configuration software, the module offers several configuration options, including:
     • Speed Monitoring, Setpoint Alarming, and Speed Band Alarming.
     • Speed Monitoring, Setpoint Alarming, and Zero Speed Notification.
     • Speed Monitoring, Setpoint Alarming, and Rotor Acceleration Alarming.
     • Speed Monitoring, Setpoint Alarming, and Reverse Rotation Notification.
4. Keyphasor Signal Conditioning:
   • Can be configured to supply conditioned Keyphasor signals to the backplane of the 3500 rack for use by other monitors, eliminating the need for a separate Keyphasor module.
5. Peak Hold Feature:
   • Stores peak values, including the highest speed, the highest reverse speed, or the number of reverse rotations reached by the machine.
   • Users have the ability to reset the peak values as needed.

Conclusion: The 3500/50M Tachometer Module stands as a key component in the 3500 System, offering precise monitoring of rotating machinery. With its configurable options, alarm generation capabilities, and the ability to provide Keyphasor signals, this module provides users with a versatile and efficient solution for ensuring the optimal performance and reliability of critical machinery. The peak hold feature further enhances its utility by storing critical operational data for analysis and diagnostics.
