Description
The BENTLY 3500/33-01 is a variant of the 16-channel relay module designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection system used in industrial applications. Here’s a breakdown of what we can glean from publicly available information:
Function:
- Provides sixteen independent relay outputs for various control and protection functionalities within a Bently Nevada 3500 system.
Key Characteristics (Based on publicly available information):
- Offers 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: While not confirmed for this specific variant, the 3500/33 relay modules generally have voting logic functionality. This 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 eight out of sixteen channels are in alarm). This helps prevent unnecessary shutdowns due to single-point failures.
- 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.
