Overview

The 172323-01 Universal Device Monitor (UDM) is part of Bently Nevada’s 1900/65A platform, engineered to deliver real-time condition monitoring and fault detection for essential machinery. It supports a wide range of sensor inputs, including proximity probes, accelerometers, and RTDs, allowing flexible deployment across compressors, pumps, motors, and fans.

Moreover, the UDM offers programmable alarm thresholds, relay outputs, and scalable configuration options. It is DIN-rail mountable and designed for standalone operation or integration with SCADA and DCS systems via Modbus. For instance, in a manufacturing plant, the 172323-01 helps detect early signs of imbalance or overheating, enabling timely maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime.

In addition, the module is CE-certified and built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, making it a reliable choice for continuous monitoring in remote or space-constrained installations.
