BENTLY 3500/33

Description

The code you provided, BENTLY 3500/33, identifies a variant of a Bently Nevada 3500 series module likely within the 3500 machinery protection system designed for industrial applications. Here’s a breakdown of what we can determine and how to find more details about it:

Function:

• This module belongs to the Bently Nevada 3500 system, which is designed for monitoring the health of rotating machinery in industrial settings. The specific function of this variant depends on the sub-category within the 3500/33 series. Here are some possibilities:
  • 16-Channel Relay Module: This is a common variant that provides control of various equipment within the system by activating or deactivating (switching) 16 relays based on pre-defined conditions.
  • Other Functionality: The 3500/33 designation could also represent other module types besides relay control, such as signal processing or communication interfaces.

Understanding the Code Breakdown:

• Bently Nevada 3500: Indicates the Bently Nevada 3500 product series, a rack-based system for machinery protection and condition monitoring.
• /33: Refers to the specific module type within the 3500 system. In this case, “/33” identifies it as a variant within the 3500/33 series, but the exact functionality requires further information.
