Description
⚙️ Product Description
The Bently Nevada 3500/92 136180-01 Communication Gateway Module is designed for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. It provides communication between the monitoring rack and external plant control or monitoring systems, allowing rack measurements, module status information, and alarm conditions to be accessed by compatible DCS, PLC, and SCADA platforms. Supported communication options include Ethernet TCP/IP, Modbus/TCP, serial Modbus, and Bently Nevada proprietary communication protocols. The module also supports communication with compatible 3500 configuration and data acquisition software. Confirm the rear communication I/O module, interface type, and configuration before replacing an existing unit.
