Product Description

The BENTLY 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00 is a Rack Interface Module (RIM) designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 Series machinery protection and condition monitoring system. It serves as the primary interface for configuring and communicating with the 3500 system, enabling users to set up, monitor, and manage machinery protection parameters. The module supports integration with Bently Nevada’s proprietary communication protocols and hardware, ensuring seamless operation within industrial environments.


Product Parameters

  • Model: 3500/05-01-03-00-00-00
  • Brand: Bently Nevada
  • Series: 3500 Series Condition Monitoring System
  • Communication Protocol: Supports Bently Nevada’s proprietary protocols for framework configuration and data exchange.
  • Interface:
    • Front panel: RS-232 serial interface for local configuration and data acquisition (max baud rate: 38.4 kbps, cable length: up to 30 m).
    • Rear panel: RS-232/RS-422 serial interfaces for remote configuration and data acquisition (RS-422 supports cable lengths up to 1200 m).
  • LED Indicators:
    • OK LED: Flashes when the module is operating normally.
    • TX/RX LED: Flashes during communication with other modules in the 3500 framework.
    • CONFIG OK LED: Illuminates when the framework configuration is correct.
  • Address Switch: Allows setting of framework address (63 address options).
  • Configuration Key Lock: Switches the 3500 framework between “RUN” (normal operation) and “PROGRAM” (configuration) modes.
  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Humidity: 95% non-condensing
  • Power Requirements: Compatible with 3500 system power supplies (e.g., 3500/15).

Product Specifications

  • Mounting: Must be installed in the first slot of the 3500 framework (adjacent to the power supply).
  • Compatibility:
    • Works with Bently Nevada communication processors like TDXnet, TDIX, and DDIX.
    • Supports integration with 3500 series monitoring modules (e.g., vibration, displacement, and keyphasor modules).
  • Frame Reset Button: Clears locked alarms and restores normal channel operation (similar to the “Frame Reset” contact on I/O modules).
  • Software Configuration: The module is highly configurable via Bently Nevada’s software, allowing users to set up monitoring parameters, alarm thresholds, and communication settings.

Series

  • 3500 Series Condition Monitoring System: A modular, scalable system for machinery protection and condition monitoring, widely used in industries requiring high reliability and precision.

Features

  1. Primary Interface: Acts as the main interface for configuring and communicating with the 3500 system.
  2. Flexible Communication: Supports both RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces for local and remote configuration.
  3. LED Status Indicators: Provides real-time feedback on module operation, communication status, and configuration correctness.
  4. Address and Mode Configuration: Allows setting of framework address and switching between operation and configuration modes.
  5. Frame Reset Functionality: Enables clearing of alarms and restoration of normal operation.

Function

  • Configuration: Allows users to set up and manage the 3500 system’s monitoring parameters, alarm thresholds, and communication settings.
  • Communication: Facilitates data exchange between the 3500 framework and external systems (e.g., PLC, DCS, or SCADA).
  • Status Monitoring: Provides real-time feedback on the operation and configuration status of the 3500 system.

Purpose

  • Ensures the proper configuration and operation of the 3500 machinery protection and condition monitoring system.
  • Simplifies integration with external systems for centralized control and monitoring.
  • Reduces downtime by providing real-time status feedback and alarm management.

Applications

  1. Power Generation: Turbine monitoring and protection.
  2. Oil & Gas: Compressor, pump, and drilling equipment monitoring.
  3. Petrochemicals: Rotating machinery condition monitoring in chemical plants.
  4. Metallurgy & Mining: Fan, blower, and mill monitoring.
  5. Marine Engineering: Propulsion system monitoring.
  6. Industrial Automation: Integration with PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems for centralized control and monitoring.
