The Bently Nevada 1900/65A is a versatile and self-contained machinery protection system designed for continuous monitoring and protection of critical industrial assets. This specific kit comprises the monitor unit 167699-02 and its associated components 172323-01. Unlike large-scale rack systems, the 1900/65A provides essential protection for small to mid-sized machinery—such as cooling tower fans, pumps, and small compressors—where a full 3500 series rack may not be cost-effective. It effectively monitors vibration, position, and speed, ensuring equipment safety through immediate alarm and trip functionality.
The 1900/65A is engineered to bridge the gap between field sensors and plant-wide control systems. It accepts a variety of inputs, including proximity probes, accelerometers, and velocity sensors. For data integration, the module provides 4–20 mA proportional outputs for direct connection to a DCS or PLC, alongside Modbus RS-485 communication for digital integration. The module features configurable onboard relays, allowing for independent machinery shutdown logic that operates reliably even if the supervisory control system is offline.
