Bently Nevada 3500/20 TMR Rack Interface Module (RlM) – 3500/20 System

Overview

The Bently Nevada 3500/20 is a crucial component of the 3500/20 Machinery Monitoring System. This TMR Rack Interface Module (RlM) connects the 3500 system with external devices, facilitating reliable data communication via RS232 and RS422 protocols. It plays an essential role in machinery protection and condition monitoring. Although not directly involved in critical monitoring paths, it ensures smooth system operations by providing essential rack functions.

The 3500/20 module is designed to be mounted in slot 1 next to the power supplies in the 3500 rack. It supports Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configurations, enabling it to monitor discrepancies in output by comparing monitoring channels. This feature ensures that any output issues are flagged promptly. With its simple integration into the 3500 series racks, this module provides a convenient solution for industrial monitoring.
