Description
The BENTLY 3500/33 is a 16-channel relay module designed for use within the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection system in industrial applications. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and characteristics based on publicly available resources:
Function:
- Provides sixteen independent relay outputs that can be programmed for various control and protection functions within a Bently Nevada 3500 system.
Key Characteristics:
- Sixteen configurable relay outputs: Each relay can be set to operate (energize) or de-energize upon activation based on user configuration within the 3500 system software.
- Voting logic capability: The relay outputs can likely be programmed to perform voting logic, meaning activation requires a signal from a specific number of input channels (e.g., four out of eight channels in alarm state). This helps prevent spurious trips due to single-point failures.
- Full-height module: Occupies one full vertical slot within a Bently Nevada 3500 rack (based on available resources).
- Rugged construction: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments (dust, moisture, etc.).
Benefits of 16 Channels:
- Increased flexibility for control and protection applications compared to the 4-channel relay modules (e.g., Bently Nevada 3500/32).
- Ability to handle a larger number of independent control or protection functions within a single module.
