Product Details

22810-00-10-10-02 Product Description

The Bently Nevada 22810-00-10-10-02 is an 8mm eddy-current proximity probe engineered for the 3300 Series machinery protection platform. Designed to deliver continuous, high-resolution shaft displacement and vibration data, this probe forms a critical node in the industrial data chain — bridging rotating machinery with the digital intelligence layer of a modern smart factory. From raw signal acquisition at the machine shaft to real-time visualization on SCADA dashboards, the 22810-00-10-10-02 ensures that every micron of shaft movement is captured, transmitted, and acted upon without latency or data loss.

In a connected factory environment, the 22810-00-10-10-02 operates as the front-end sensing element within a layered architecture. Its analog output feeds directly into the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor Sensor, which conditions the raw eddy-current signal into a calibrated voltage proportional to shaft gap. This conditioned signal is then routed to the 3500/40M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor module housed in the 3500 Rack — a modular, network-ready machinery protection system that supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and Ethernet/IP communication protocols. Through these industrial protocols, vibration and position data flow seamlessly from the field device layer to the control and monitoring layer, where Bently Nevada System 1 software aggregates, trends, and alarms on all critical machine parameters.

The data pathway does not stop at the protection rack. In integrated smart factory deployments, the 3500 Rack communicates upstream to plant-level DCS platforms and SCADA systems via OPC-DA or OPC-UA gateways. Edge computing nodes — such as industrial IoT gateways running on DIN-rail-mounted embedded controllers — can subscribe to real-time vibration streams, enabling local analytics and anomaly detection without round-trip latency to the cloud. This architecture supports predictive maintenance workflows where the 22810-00-10-10-02's displacement data, combined with process variables from Yokogawa or Emerson DCS I/O modules, feeds machine-learning models that forecast bearing wear, rotor imbalance, and seal degradation weeks before failure.

For facilities running mixed-protocol environments, the 3500 Rack's gateway capability allows the 22810-00-10-10-02's data to be bridged from proprietary Bently Nevada communication formats into standard industrial Ethernet segments. Managed industrial switches — such as those in the Hirschmann MICE or Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH families — provide the network backbone, ensuring deterministic packet delivery and VLAN segmentation between the machinery protection network and the plant IT backbone. This separation maintains cybersecurity integrity while enabling authorized SCADA and HMI terminals to display live shaft orbit plots, gap voltage trends, and alarm states sourced directly from the 22810-00-10-10-02 probe circuit.

Remote diagnostics represent another key value dimension of this probe in smart factory contexts. Maintenance engineers can interrogate the full probe-to-rack signal chain — including cable continuity, gap voltage, and proximitor gain — from a remote HMI or engineering workstation without entering the hazardous area. When integrated with Bently Nevada's Trendmaster Pro or System 1 Evolution platform, the 22810-00-10-10-02 supports scheduled and on-demand diagnostic routines that validate probe health, detect cable faults, and confirm calibration status. Alarm events generated by the 3500/40M module are propagated through the Modbus TCP/IP link to the plant SCADA, where they trigger work orders in the CMMS and notify on-call engineers via SMS or email — closing the loop between field condition and maintenance response in minutes rather than hours.

Every 22810-00-10-10-02 unit shipped by NANKMOS undergoes pre-shipment functional verification, including gap voltage linearity testing and cable insulation resistance checks, ensuring that the probe arrives ready for immediate installation and commissioning. Stock is maintained for rapid dispatch, and all units are covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Whether you are expanding an existing 3300 Series installation, retrofitting a legacy machinery protection system, or commissioning a new smart factory line, the 22810-00-10-10-02 delivers the signal integrity and network compatibility required for reliable, continuous machine health monitoring.

The 22810-00-10-10-02 anchors the sensing layer of a multi-tier industrial data architecture. At the field level, the probe's eddy-current tip monitors shaft radial position with sub-micron resolution, feeding the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm Proximitor Sensor — a signal conditioning module that converts gap distance into a linear DC voltage. This voltage is wired to the 3500/40M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor input card, which applies configurable alert and danger setpoints, executes relay trip logic, and simultaneously formats the measurement data for network transmission.

Within the 3500 Rack, the 3500/22M Transient Data Interface module captures high-speed waveform data during machine transients — startups, coastdowns, and load changes — storing full-spectrum vibration records that are later retrieved by System 1 Evolution for orbit analysis and Bode plot generation. The rack's communication gateway module publishes all channel data over Modbus TCP/IP to the plant DCS, where Yokogawa CENTUM VP or Emerson DeltaV I/O modules ingest the vibration values alongside process variables such as bearing temperature from Pt100 RTD transmitters and lube oil pressure from 4–20 mA pressure transmitters.

At the network transport layer, managed industrial Ethernet switches — configured with RSTP for redundancy and QoS prioritization for time-critical alarm traffic — carry the Modbus TCP/IP frames from the machinery protection network segment to the plant SCADA server. The SCADA platform, running on a redundant server pair, hosts OPC-DA and OPC-UA servers that expose all 22810-00-10-10-02-derived measurements to authorized HMI clients, historian databases, and edge analytics nodes. Operators at the central control room HMI can view live shaft orbit plots, gap voltage bar graphs, and alarm annunciation panels updated at 1-second scan rates.

Edge gateways — DIN-rail-mounted Linux-based IoT controllers with dual Ethernet ports — subscribe to the OPC-UA data streams and execute local anomaly detection algorithms, comparing current vibration signatures against baseline fingerprints stored in onboard flash memory. When a deviation threshold is crossed, the edge gateway publishes a structured alarm payload via MQTT to the plant's industrial IoT broker, which routes the alert to the CMMS and to mobile devices carried by maintenance technicians. This closed-loop architecture, anchored by the 22810-00-10-10-02 at the sensing layer, enables condition-based maintenance decisions to be made in near-real-time without dependence on cloud connectivity.

Many industrial facilities operate with fragmented machinery protection infrastructure — legacy proximity probes wired to standalone monitors with no network output, vibration data trapped in proprietary formats inaccessible to the plant SCADA, and maintenance teams relying on manual rounds rather than continuous monitoring. The 22810-00-10-10-02, deployed within the Bently Nevada 3500 platform, directly addresses these data gaps.

Protocol fragmentation is resolved by the 3500 Rack's multi-protocol gateway, which translates the probe's analog signal into Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, and OPC-UA simultaneously — eliminating the need for third-party protocol converters and reducing potential points of failure. Data silos are broken down by connecting the machinery protection network to the plant DCS and SCADA via standard industrial Ethernet, giving process engineers and reliability teams access to the same real-time vibration data from a unified historian.

Remote monitoring challenges — particularly relevant for unmanned compressor stations, offshore platforms, and remote pump installations — are addressed through the 3500 Rack's secure remote access capability. Engineers can connect via VPN to the plant network and interrogate the full probe-to-rack signal chain, review alarm histories, and adjust setpoints without site visits. Alarm tracking is automated: every alert and danger event generated by the 22810-00-10-10-02 circuit is time-stamped, logged to the 3500 Rack's internal event log, and simultaneously forwarded to the SCADA alarm management system, creating an auditable record for root-cause analysis and regulatory compliance.

Production line transparency is achieved through real-time dashboards that display shaft centerline plots, trend charts, and spectrum waterfalls sourced from the 22810-00-10-10-02 data stream. System expansion is straightforward: additional probe channels can be added to the 3500 Rack by inserting new monitor modules, with no changes required to the network infrastructure or SCADA configuration beyond adding new OPC-UA tags.
