Bently Nevada 3500/92/04-01-00 (136180-01+136188-02) Communication Gateway Module

Bently Nevada 3500/92 Communication Gateway Module (Model 3500/92/04-01-00) – Part Numbers 136180-01 + 136188-02

Description

The Bently Nevada 3500/92 Communication Gateway module provides robust communication capabilities for monitoring rack values and statuses. It enables integration with process control and automation systems through Ethernet (TCP/IP) and serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) connections. This module supports the following protocols:

Modicon Modbus: Via serial communications.
Modbus/TCP: A variant of Modbus used for Ethernet TCP/IP communications.
Proprietary Bently Nevada Protocol: For integration with 3500 Rack Configuration Software and Data Acquisition Software.

The Ethernet interface is an RJ45 connection compatible with 10BASE-T Ethernet networks. Additionally, it includes a Configurable Modbus Register Utility that provides flexible functionality, building upon features of the original 3500/90 model.

Technical Specifications

Inputs

Power Consumption:
- 5.0 Watts typical with Modbus RS232/RS422 I/O Module.
