Description
📌 Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/93 is a System Display Interface Module designed for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. The module provides the interface between the 3500 rack and the associated system display, allowing operators to view machinery protection information locally or remotely.
The 3500/93 System Display can present system event information, alarm event lists, and data from monitor modules, channels, relay modules, Keyphasor modules, and tachometer modules. Up to two displays can be connected to a single 3500 rack, with each display requiring its corresponding Display Interface Module (DIM).

📋 Technical Datasheet
Brand: Bently Nevada
Model: 3500/93
Product Type: System Display Interface Module
Module Type: Display Interface Module (DIM)
Series: 3500 Machinery Protection System
Primary Function: Interface between 3500 rack and system display
Display Information: System events, alarm events, module data and channel data
Supported Data: Monitor, Relay, Keyphasor and Tachometer information
Maximum Displays per Rack: 2
Installation: 3500 rack / dedicated module position
Application: Machinery protection and condition monitoring
Configuration: Via 3500 Rack Configuration Software
Typical Use: Monitoring, maintenance and replacement
The 3500/93 requires a dedicated rack position for its corresponding DIM.
🖥️ Display & Monitoring Functions
The 3500/93 is intended to make information already available within the 3500 rack easier to view at the machine or control-room level.
Typical displayed information includes:
• System Event List
• Alarm Event List
• Monitor module information
• Individual channel data
• Relay module information
• Keyphasor module information
• Tachometer module information
This makes the 3500/93 particularly useful when operators need a direct visual indication of machinery protection status without relying exclusively on a host computer or DCS interface.
🏭 Typical Applications
The 3500/93 is commonly associated with continuous machinery protection and condition-monitoring installations.
Typical applications include:
• Steam turbines
• Gas turbines
• Compressors
• Pumps
• Generators
• Large rotating machinery
• Oil & gas facilities
• Petrochemical plants
• Power generation
• Industrial machinery monitoring
For an existing 3500 installation, keeping a spare display interface module can be useful when the original DIM develops a hardware or communication problem.
🔧 Installation & Replacement Notes
Before replacing a 3500/93, verify the complete module designation and the display configuration used by the existing 3500 rack.
- Confirm that the rack is a Bently Nevada 3500 system.
- Verify that the replacement module is the correct 3500/93 configuration.
- Check the associated display unit and display interface arrangement.
- Confirm that the required rack position is available.
- Inspect the module connector and rack contacts before installation.
- Follow the applicable 3500 rack installation and maintenance procedure.
- After installation, verify communication between the DIM and display.
- Check system events, alarm information and channel data on the display.
- Confirm that the display configuration matches the installed 3500 rack configuration.
The 3500/93 is a dedicated display-interface component, so it should not be treated as a direct replacement for other 3500 communication or rack-interface modules such as the 3500/20.
❓ FAQ
Q: What is the Bently Nevada 3500/93?
A: It is a System Display Interface Module used to connect a 3500 rack with its associated system display.
Q: Is the 3500/93 the display screen itself?
A: No. The 3500/93 is the Display Interface Module (DIM). It provides the interface between the 3500 rack and the display unit.
Q: What information can the 3500/93 display?
A: It can provide system events, alarm events, monitor and channel data, as well as information associated with relay, Keyphasor and tachometer modules.
Q: How many displays can one 3500 rack support?
A: Up to two displays can be connected to each 3500 rack, with each display requiring its corresponding DIM.
Q: Does the 3500/93 require a dedicated rack position?
A: Yes. The 3500/93 Display Interface Module requires a dedicated position in the 3500 rack.
Q: Is 3500/93 the same as 3500/20?
A: No. The 3500/20 is the Rack Interface Module, while the 3500/93 is dedicated to the system display interface.
Q: What software is used to configure the 3500/93 display?
A: The 3500/93 System Display is configured using 3500 Rack Configuration Software.
