Bently Nevada 136180-01 3500/92 Communication Gateway Module

Description:

The Bently Nevada 3500/92 Communication Gateway module provides extensive communication capabilities of all rack monitored values and statuses for integration with process control and other automation systems using both Ethernet TCP/IP and serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) communications capabilities. It also permits Ethernet communications with 3500 Rack Configuration Software and Data Acquisition Software. Supported protocols include Modicon® Modbus® (via serial communications), Modbus/TCP (a variant of serial Modbus used for TCP/IP Ethernet communications), and proprietary Bently Nevada protocol for communication with 3500 Rack Configuration and Data Acquisition Software packages. The Ethernet connection to the 3500/92 is an RJ45 connection for 10BASE-T star configuration Ethernet networks.

Technical Specifications:

• Inputs:

  • Power Consumption:
    • 5.0 watts typical with Modbus RS232/RS422 I/O Module.
    • 5.6 watts typical with Modbus RS485 I/O Module.
  • Data Types:
    • Collects data from other modules in the rack, such as current proportional values with time stamp, module statuses, and current alarm statuses via a high-speed internal network.
  • Update Time:
    • The data collection rate depends on rack configuration but will not exceed 1 second for all modules in the 3500 rack.

• Outputs:

  • Front Panel LEDs:
    • OK LED: Indicates when the 3500/92 is operating properly.
    • TX/RX LED: Indicates when the 3500/92 is communicating with other modules in the 3500 rack.

• Protocols:

  • BNC Host Protocol: Communication with 3500 Configuration Software and 3500 Data Acquisition and Display Software over Ethernet TCP/IP.
