- Displacement measurement range: 0–2000 μm
- Frequency response: 0.5–1000 Hz (vibration), 0–100 Hz (displacement)
Material Composition:
- High-reliability electronic components on multi-layer PCB
- Metal module enclosure with conformal coating
- Gold-plated backplane edge connectors
Structural Features:
- Full-height module form factor
- Front panel with OK, TX/RX, and Bypass LED indicators
- Rear I/O module with external terminal connections (field wiring connected at separate terminal block)
- Plug-in design compatible with any accessible rack slot
Working Principle:
Identical to the 3500/42-01-01 — receives analog signals from sensors, conditions and processes them according to the programmed measurement function, compares against alarm setpoints, and drives alarm and analog outputs accordingly.
Installation Requirements:
- Install the main module in any accessible full-height rack slot
- Install the corresponding external termination I/O module in the rear slot
- Connect sensor cables to the external terminal
