BENTLY 136188-02 Ethernet/RS485 Module Bus I/O Module

Features Overview

The 3500 System is intended for continuous,permanent monitoring of rotating and reciprocating machinery in a variety of industries. 

It is specifically designed for use in auto-shutdown machineryprotection applications that require extremely high reliability and availability.

Applications

Machine types addressed by the 3500 System include but are not limited to the following:

l Industrial gas and steam turbines in power generation and mechanical drive service

l Aeroderivative gas turbines in power generation and mechanical drive service

l Hydro-electric turbines in power generation service

l Air or Process Gas Compressors (radial/axial,centrifugal/positive displacement)

l Turbo Expanders

l Electric motors and generators

l Exciters

l Gear boxes

l Pumps (centrifugal and positive displacement)

l Fans

l Blowers

l Reciprocating compressors

l Extruders and pelletizers

Field Mounting

In many cases, the 3500 rack can be mounted on or near the machine skid, foundation or local control panel,

keeping cable runs between the 3500 rack and the monitored machine(s) shorter, less costly, and less

prone to possible damage.

The locally-installed rack can use a single Ethernet connection to communicate over the plant network.

This allows it to distribute display data and other information to the control room, to a process control

system or to a plant engineer’s desktop computer.

The result is a machinery protection system with significantly lower installation costs than those that are

limited to being mounted in control room environments.

Optional NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X weatherproof housings are available when installations require field mounting of the 3500 System.

Remote Accessibility

Networked connections allow you to remotely configure a 3500 system and even assess the system when an

instrument problem arises. You can implement simple changes, such as to an alarm setpoint or a filter corner,

without traveling to the site in person. This is useful for installations at offshore platforms, compressor or pump

stations, emergency generators, and other locations where on-site access to the instrumentation is inconvenient or impractical.

Cybersecurity

The 3500 System’s two levels of password protection combined with a keylock for configuration changes

ensures the system can’t be adjusted, changed, or configured except by authorized personnel.

The 3500 rack records any configuration changes in the system’s event list, which accommodates effective

“management of change” documentation.

We also offer Wurldtech™ Achilles® Level 1 certified solutions as well as full engineered and hardened

network architectures when required to meet specific cybersecurity needs.
