Description
The BENTLY 3500/33-01-03 is a 16-channel relay module designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection system used in industrial settings. While pinpointing the exact functionalities of the “-01-03” suffix is difficult without official manuals, here’s a breakdown of what we can determine based on publicly available information:
Core Function:
- Provides sixteen independent relay outputs that can be programmed for various control and protection strategies within a Bently Nevada 3500 system.
Key Characteristics (Based on Public Information):
- Sixteen configurable relay outputs: Each relay’s activation (energize or de-energize) can be programmed based on user configuration within the 3500 system software.
- Possible Voting Logic Capability: The 3500/33 series generally allows programming relay outputs to require a specific number of input channels to be in an alarm state for activation (e.g., triggering a relay only if 3 out of 16 channels are in alarm). This helps prevent unnecessary shutdowns due to single-point failures. Confirmation for this specific variant (3500/33-01-03) might be limited.
- Full-height module (likely): The absence of a height indicator in the suffix suggests a full-height module, occupying one entire slot within a Bently Nevada 3500 rack.
Uncertainties about the “-01-03” Suffix:
Due to limitations in publicly available information, the exact functionalities associated with “-01-03” are unclear. Here are some possibilities:
- Internal Barrier I/O (uncertain): The module might have internal electrical isolation to prevent interference between relay outputs and the 3500 system’s internal circuitry.
- Internal Revision (possible): It could represent an internal revision within the 3500/33-01 series, potentially with minor modifications not significantly impacting core functionalities.
- Country-Specific Variant (less likely): While less probable, the suffix could indicate a variant designed for a particular country (e.g., China) or manufactured there.
