Description
The BENTLY 3500/32 125720-02 represents a combination of two elements within the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection system:
1. BENTLY 3500/32:
-
This is a 4-channel relay module. Its primary function is to provide control and protection outputs within the Bently Nevada 3500 system used for industrial machinery.
-
Key characteristics:
- Offers four independent relay outputs. These relays can be programmed to activate (energize) or deactivate (de-energize) based on pre-defined conditions from the 3500 monitor modules.
- Voting logic capability: Relay outputs can be programmed to require a specific number of input channels to be in an alarm state for activation. This helps prevent unnecessary shutdowns due to single-point failures.
- Full-height module: Occupies one entire slot within a Bently Nevada 3500 rack.
- Rugged construction: Designed for harsh industrial environments.
2. 125720-02:
-
This is likely a part number or model identifier for a specific variant of the 4-channel relay module (BENTLY 3500/32).
-
Unfortunately, without access to official Bently Nevada documentation, pinpointing the exact characteristics of the 125720-02 variant is difficult. However, some possibilities based on publicly available information include:
- Standard I/O: This variant might lack internal electrical isolation between the relay outputs and the 3500 system’s internal circuitry. Careful grounding practices are crucial during installation to minimize electrical noise and ensure reliable signal transmission.
- Agency approvals: The absence of additional information about the 125720-02 variant suggests it might not have specific approvals from regulatory agencies for use in hazardous locations (explosion zones).
