What to Do When Your Bently Nevada Sensor Stops Sending Data
Quick Specs
| Power: | +12 to +24 VDC |
| Cable Resistance: | > 1 MΩ |
| Typical Baud Rate: | 9600 or 115200 bps |
What to Check First
First, inspect connectors and cables. Over 60% of faults stem from loose wiring. Next, examine the probe for visible damage. Cracks may reduce signal by up to 40%. Finally, ensure the sensor has proper power supply. No voltage means no data.
How to Test Sensor & Cables
Use a multimeter or TK‑3 calibrator to verify continuity and insulation. Expect > 1 MΩ resistance. Then, inject a test signal. If this passes, the issue lies downstream.
Inspect Monitoring Modules
Confirm that the 3500/42M module is seated properly. Fault LEDs appear in 15% of loose‐module cases. Review System 1 logs for disconnect or threshold errors.
Verify PLC/DCS Communication
Check Modbus or Profibus settings. Match addresses and ports accurately. Review network logs for up to 20% packet loss during EMI.
When to Escalate
If issues persist, contact Bently Nevada support. Expert help can cut downtime by 40%. Replace only genuine parts to avoid a 60% failure‑rate increase.
