Description
- The Bently Nevada 3500/92 is a high-performance communication gateway that provides digital communication between the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System and external systems. It translates rack data into Modbus or other protocols, allowing DCS and PLC systems to access critical vibration, position, and status information.
Product Parameters
- Protocols: Modbus RTU (Serial) and Modbus TCP/IP (Ethernet)
- Configuration: Programmable via 3500 Rack Configuration Software
- Update Rate: Fast data refresh optimized for machinery monitoring
- Interface: RS232/RS422/RS485 and RJ45 Ethernet options
- Rack Slots: Occupies one half-height or full-height slot depending on the I/O module
Product Specifications
- Power Consumption: 5.0 Watts typical
- Isolation: 500 Vdc for communication ports
- Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C (-22°F to +150°F)
- Status Indicators: Front panel LEDs for module health and TX/RX activity
- Compatibility: Integrates with System 1 Asset Management software

Product Q&A
Q: Does the 3500/92 provide machinery protection functions? A: No, it is a communication module only. Protection logic is handled by the monitoring modules; the 3500/92 simply transmits that data.
Q: Can multiple communication gateways be used in one rack? A: Yes, the 3500 rack supports redundant 3500/92 modules to ensure continuous data availability to the host system.
Q: Is the communication I/O module included with the main module? A: The main 3500/92 module and its specific I/O module (e.g., Ethernet/RS232 or Ethernet/RS485) are typically separate components that must be paired.
