Working Principle: The module acts as a data gateway between the 3500 monitoring system and the external world. The main card (288055-01) handles backplane communication and Modbus RTU functions. The Ethernet daughter card (146031-01) plugs into the main card, adding TCP/IP network capability. Together they collect machinery data from the rack and transmit it to external control and information systems.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in the designated slot of the 3500 rack
  • Ensure the daughter card is properly seated in the main card
  • Ethernet cable should be shielded CAT5 or better
  • wiring must observe proper termination and polarity
  • Verify firmware compatibility with rack configuration software

Use Precautions:

  • The complete module consists of two physical parts: main card and daughter card
  • Both components must be properly installed for full functionality
  • Ethernet network configuration must match plant network requirements
  • network termination must be properly configured
  • Replace only with compatible main card and daughter card combinations
