Bently Nevada 170180-01-00 | 3500/94 VGA Display Module | Touchscreen Interface

Product Description:

The Bently Nevada 170180-01-00 is a high-performance VGA Display Module designed as part of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. This versatile touchscreen display module provides a local, graphical interface to display real-time machinery data directly at the machine train or control cabinet. It eliminates the need for a separate PC and enhances operator visibility, making it ideal for monitoring systems in critical industrial applications.

Key Features & Functions:

1. Real-Time Visual Monitoring:

The 170180-01-00 display module offers a clear, detailed graphical representation of vital machinery parameters. Operators can instantly see numerical data such as vibration levels (e.g., 5.2 mils) and specific channel alarms, ensuring quick and accurate response times to any system irregularities.

• Display Type: 10.4-inch Active Matrix Color TFT LCD

• Resolution: 640 x 480 VGA

• Input Method: Resistive Touchscreen, suitable for use with industrial gloves

2. Multi-Language Support:

The 170180-01-00 is designed for global use with support for multiple languages, including English, Chinese, French, German, and Russian. This feature makes it adaptable for diverse industrial environments, such as power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities worldwide.

3. Durability for Harsh Environments:

Engineered to withstand demanding conditions, the 3500/94 VGA Display Module is rated NEMA 4X / IP65 when mounted properly with the appropriate gasket. It offers resistance to dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting operation even in challenging industrial settings.

• Protection Rating: NEMA 4X / IP65 (when correctly mounted)

• Operating Temperature: -20°C to +65°C (-4°F to +150°F)

4. Ease of Use:

The module features a resistive touchscreen that allows operators to interact with the interface even while wearing gloves. This makes it ideal for use in industries where personal protection equipment is mandatory.

5. Seamless Integration:

The 170180-01-00 connects to the 3500/93 or 3500/94 Display Interface Module through a serial/VGA interface. It enables real-time data visualization, allowing operators to monitor the health of critical machinery without the need for separate computing systems.

• Power Supply: Typically powered via the 3500 rack or an external supply (+24 Vdc)

• Connection Interface: Serial/VGA interface to the 3500/94 Display Interface Module

Technical Specifications:

Installation Guidelines:

• Connection Requirements: The 170180-01-00 must be connected to a 3500/94 Display Interface Module via specialized cables (such as 149241 or 149242). It is crucial to ensure that proper connections are made to allow seamless communication with the 3500 rack.

• Hazardous Area Installation: For installations in hazardous areas, the 3500/94 VGA Display must be mounted in an explosion-proof or purged enclosure to meet safety certifications.

Key Benefits:

• Instant Data Access: View real-time machine data without relying on an external PC.

• User-Friendly Interface: The resistive touchscreen makes it easy to interact with even in industrial environments where gloves are required.

• Environmental Resistance: With an IP65/NEMA 4X rating, the module withstands dust, moisture, and other industrial contaminants.

Applications:

• Power Generation Plants: For monitoring the health of turbines, compressors, and other critical machinery.

• Refineries: Ensuring the smooth operation of key equipment in high-temperature, high-pressure environments.

• Heavy Industrial Machinery: Used in machinery protection systems for large-scale industrial operations.
