Product Description
The 3500/45 Position Monitor is a 4-channel instrument designed to accept input from a variety of transducer types, including:
- Proximity transducers
- Rotary Position Transducers (RPTs)
- DC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (DC LVDTs)
- AC Linear Variable Differential Transformers (AC LVDTs)
- Rotary potentiometers
Once received, the monitor conditions each signal and compares it against user-programmable alarm limits. Using the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, each channel can be programmed to perform one of the following functions:
- Axial (Thrust) Position
- Differential Expansion
- Standard Single-Ramp Differential Expansion
- Non-standard Single-Ramp Differential Expansion
- Dual-Ramp Differential Expansion
- Complementary Differential Expansion
- Case Expansion
- Valve Position
Primary Purpose
The 3500/45 Position Monitor is designed to deliver:
- Machinery protection, achieved by continuously comparing monitored parameters against configured alarm setpoints to drive alarms
- Essential machine information for operations and maintenance personnel
Channel Operation
Each channel—depending on its configuration—conditions its input signal to generate several parameters known as measured variables. You can configure alert setpoints for each active measured variable and danger setpoints for any two of the active measured variables.
The 3500/45 system is the absolute workhorse of the industry, having protected machinery for decades. As technology evolves, many customers are comparing the classic 3500 platform with the new Orbit 60 system.
System Comparison: 3500 Series vs Orbit 60
| Feature | 3500 Series (The Veteran) | Orbit 60 (The Next Gen) |
|---|---|---|
| Philosophy | "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." It's rigid, rack-based, and extremely reliable | "Everything is connected." It's modular, distributed, and built for the IoT era |
| Architecture | Centralized. Big rack, fixed slots with dedicated processors for specific functions | Distributed. Modules can be linked with bridge cables, breaking the traditional "one big box" design |
| Cyber Security | Requires separate data diode or strict isolation for external communication security | Built-in. Features dedicated cyber-secure isolation module directly in the architecture |
| Processing | Hardware-centric. Uses different cards for different functions | Software-centric. One card can perform multiple functions through configuration changes |
| The Verdict | The Gold Standard for traditional plants who want exactly what they've always used | The Future Proof choice for anyone who wants smaller hardware, smarter data, and better cloud integration |
