Description

Bently 3500 32M

Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 3500/32M
  • Channel Count: 4 independent relay channels
  • Relay Type: Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT)
  • System Compatibility: Bently Nevada 3500 Framework

Key Features

  • Advanced Diagnostics: Enhanced self-test capabilities to detect internal relay coil failures or contact degradation.
  • Flexible Logic Programming: Supports complex AND/OR voting logic utilizing any channel’s alarm status within the framework.
  • High Environmental Tolerance: Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments with extreme temperature fluctuations.

Application Scenarios
Used as the final hardware-level protection interface for critical rotating equipment, ensuring that dangerous operating conditions immediately trigger physical safety interlocks.

Performance Parameters

  • Operating Temperature: -30°C to +65°C
  • Contact Life: 100,000 operations at rated load

Material Composition
Industrial-grade PCB with conformal coating to protect against moisture and chemical corrosion, encased in a durable, anti-static housing.

Structural Characteristics
Full-height module with clearly labeled front-panel LEDs for each channel. Designed for seamless integration into the 3500 backplane without requiring mechanical modifications.

Working Principle
Receives real-time digital alarm signals via the backplane, processes them through the configured logic matrix, and physically closes or opens the SPDT relay contacts to complete or break external control circuits.

Installation Requirements
Install in any available slot to the right of the TDI module. Ensure proper grounding of the framework to prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting relay actuation.

Usage Precautions
Use the 3500 Configuration Software to verify the module’s firmware version and perform a module self-test after installation. Do not mix incompatible relay module revisions in critical safety circuits.
