Bently Nevada 146031-02 Transient Data Interface I/O Module

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 146031-02 is a high-performance I/O module designed for the 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI). It serves as a reliable bridge between the 3500 Machinery Protection System and host software, such as System 1 Condition Monitoring. Moreover, it enables seamless data collection from M-series monitors, supporting both steady-state and transient dynamic measurements. Engineers rely on this module for precise, continuous monitoring without affecting the critical protection path of machinery.

Key Functional Highlights

• Integrates functions of the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module and data collection processor.

• Collects continuous steady-state and waveform data from 3500/40M and 3500/42M monitors.

• Provides high-speed Ethernet communication via 100Base-FX Fiber Optic interface.

• Installed in slot adjacent to the power supply, ensuring optimal rack layout.

• Non-critical monitoring path prevents disruption of automatic protection shutdowns.

• USB-B front panel interface enables local configuration and diagnostics.
