Description
The BENTLY 3500/32-01-00 is a Bently Nevada 3500 Series 4-Channel Relay Module. It’s a workhorse component within the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection system, designed for industrial applications. Here’s a breakdown of its functionality and key characteristics gleaned from publicly available resources:
Function:
- Provides four independent relay outputs. These relays can be programmed to activate or deactivate based on various conditions monitored by the Bently Nevada 3500 system. Essentially, it acts as a translator between electrical signals from the system and physical responses in external devices.
- Serves as an interface between the 3500 system and external equipment like alarms, shutdown systems, or control logic.
Applications:
- Triggering alarms or emergency shutdowns for machinery based on pre-defined fault conditions detected by the 3500 system. This helps prevent catastrophic equipment failures and protects personnel.
- Controlling external equipment based on specific machine operating parameters. For instance, the module could activate a cooling system if it detects the machine exceeding safe temperature thresholds.
Key Features:
- Four independent relay outputs, offering versatility in controlling external devices.
- Programmable relay logic using AND and OR gates with inputs from various monitor channels within the 3500 system. This allows for complex control logic based on multiple conditions.
- Epoxy-sealed construction for protection against dust, moisture, and other harsh industrial environments.
