Released in 1995, this system is API 670 compliant, is fully compatible with System 1* software, and is considered GE's current flagship offering for continuous, rack-based machinery protection and monitoring.

Released in 1988, this system is the predecessor to the 3500 Series System. It has tens of thousands of installations worldwide, is API 670 compliant, is fully compatible with System 1* software, and remains fully supported as an active product.

Use this section to discuss products in the 1900 family including the 1900/65A, 1900/65, 1900/55, 1900/27, 1900/25, 1900/17, and the 1900/15. These products interface to System 1* software via the Trendmaster* Pro asset scanning network architecture and provide either single-channel or four-channel input capabilities. The system addresses basic machinery protection functionality for assets where only a few measurement points are required and for which a rack-based system such as 3300 or 3500 is not appropriate.

Released in 1998, this system offers very tight integration with control and automation platforms and is typically used in applications that would have previously been addressed with the 2201 series system. It is designed to act as intelligent I/O blocks that are distributed around the machine skid, communicating via a wide variety of industry-standard protocols back to a central controller such as a PLC or turbine control system.

Use this section to discuss other Bently Nevada monitoring systems such as 2201 Series, 9000 Series, 7200 Series, 7000 Series, 5000 Series, and 1700 Series. Many installations of these products still exist.

Use this section to discuss monitoring systems manufactured and sold by companies other than GE's Bently Nevada* Asset Condition Monitoring group.

Use this section to discuss GE's flagship condition monitoring software, supporting numerous data sources such as 3500, 3300, and 1900 series monitoring systems, the Trendmaster* Pro sensor bus network, Snapshot* portable data collection devices, manually entered data, and a variety of interfaces to DCS and other control systems.

Other Software such as Knowledge³ (Kn³ ™), MVC™, Closed Loop Optimal Control (CLOC®), EfficiencyMap™, Bently PERFORMANCE™, GateCycle™, CoaLogic®, GenGauge™

Predecessors to System 1 software, these systems are still in use at some locations. Use this section to discuss operating experiences/questions/comments as well as issues related to upgrading to from DM2000 or TM2000 to System 1 software.
