Bently Nevada 9200-06-05-05-00: Online Machinery Condition Monitoring System

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 9200-06-05-05-00 is a compact, high-performance online machinery condition monitoring system, designed for continuous monitoring of rotating equipment in industrial environments. This integrated system combines sensor connectivity, data acquisition, and analysis capabilities in a rugged enclosure, enabling real-time tracking of vibration, temperature, and other critical machinery parameters. It is engineered to detect early signs of equipment degradation, such as bearing wear, unbalance, and misalignment, by processing sensor data and generating actionable alerts. As a cost-effective solution for mid-sized industrial assets, it bridges the gap between basic protective monitoring and complex enterprise-level systems, supporting both machinery protection and predictive maintenance strategies.

Product Specifications

Series

The 9200-06-05-05-00 is part of Bently Nevada’s 9200 series, a family of modular online monitoring systems designed for small to mid-sized industrial assets. The 9200 series focuses on simplicity, scalability, and affordability, offering configurable channel counts (4–16 vibration channels) and sensor compatibility to match application needs. It complements Bently Nevada’s high-end 3500 series by providing a streamlined solution for assets where full enterprise monitoring is unnecessary but continuous condition tracking is critical. The series integrates with Bently Nevada’s Asset Performance Management (APM) software, enabling centralized data analysis across multiple sites and asset types.

Features

Configurable Channel Mix

6 vibration and 5 temperature channels allow tailored monitoring of key machinery components, from motor bearings to pump casings.

Real-Time Data Processing

Onboard analytics engine processes sensor data to detect fault patterns (e.g., bearing defect frequencies, rotor imbalance harmonics) and generate instant alerts.

Flexible Connectivity

Ethernet and RS-485 interfaces support integration with SCADA/DCS systems and cloud platforms, enabling remote monitoring and data aggregation.

Rugged Industrial Design

IP54 enclosure and wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) ensure reliability in harsh environments, including factories and outdoor installations.

User-Friendly Interface

Color LCD and intuitive menu system simplify local configuration; web-based dashboard allows remote access to trends, alarms, and diagnostics.

Function

The primary function of the 9200-06-05-05-00 is to provide continuous, automated monitoring of machinery health. It collects vibration data from accelerometers/velocity sensors and temperature readings from RTDs/thermocouples, then processes these signals to calculate key parameters (e.g., RMS velocity, peak acceleration, temperature trends). The system compares these values against user-defined thresholds and industry standards (e.g., ISO 10816), triggering alarms via relays or network notifications when anomalies are detected. By storing historical data, it enables trend analysis to predict maintenance needs, reducing reliance on manual inspections and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Use

Installed near monitored machinery (e.g., pump skids, motor assemblies), the system connects to sensors via shielded cables. Technicians configure it using a web browser or local LCD, setting sensor types, alarm thresholds, and data logging intervals. The system continuously acquires data, displaying real-time metrics on its screen and transmitting alerts to control rooms or maintenance teams via email/SMS. Historical data is accessed through the web interface or exported to APM software for in-depth analysis, supporting root-cause diagnostics and long-term asset performance tracking.

Application Fields

Water and Wastewater

Monitors pump stations and blower motors, detecting bearing wear and impeller imbalance to prevent sewage overflow or treatment plant disruptions.

Food and Beverage

Tracks vibration in mixers, conveyors, and bottling equipment, ensuring hygienic operation and reducing production line stoppages from mechanical failures.

Pharmaceuticals

Monitors agitators and centrifuges in GMP facilities, providing traceable vibration and temperature data to comply with regulatory requirements.

HVAC and Facilities Management

Oversees chiller pumps, cooling tower fans, and boiler feed pumps, optimizing energy efficiency by identifying underperforming equipment.

Light Manufacturing

Protects production line motors, compressors, and gearboxes, supporting just-in-time maintenance to minimize production losses.

In summary, the Bently Nevada 9200-06-05-05-00 is a versatile online monitoring system tailored for mid-sized industrial assets. Its compact design, configurable channels, and real-time analytics make it essential for industries seeking cost-effective solutions to enhance machinery reliability and reduce maintenance costs through proactive condition monitoring.
