PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/22M is a Transient Data Interface Module for the 3500 series monitoring system. It provides the primary interface between the 3500 rack and host software. This module operates with System 1 Condition Monitoring software and 3500 Configuration software. The unit combines rack interface functionality with high-speed communication processing capabilities.
The module continuously gathers steady-state and transient dynamic waveform data across compatible M series monitors. Static data collection is standard, while dynamic transient recording is enabled using an optional Channel Enabling Disk. The hardware installs in the slot adjacent to the rack power supplies. It handles rack-level communications without interrupting the independent machinery protection functions of the rack.
