3500/22-01-01-00
Product Name
3500/22-01-01-00 is a Bently Nevada 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI) Module (also referred to as Bently Nevada 3500 Series Industrial Machinery Transient Data Acquisition Interface Module, Bently 3500/22-01-01-00 Ethernet-Based Transient Waveform Data Interface Module for Condition Monitoring), a core communication and data acquisition component of Bently Nevada’s 3500 machinery protection and condition monitoring system.
2. Product Description
The 3500/22-01-01-00 module is a high-performance transient data interface (TDI) module developed by Bently Nevada (a subsidiary of GE), engineered as the critical communication bridge between the Bently Nevada 3500 rack-based machinery monitoring system and host software platforms such as System 1 Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Software and 3500 System Configuration Software.
Installed in the slot adjacent to the power supply of a 3500 rack (slot 1), this module integrates the functions of a 3500/20 Rack Interface Module (RIM) and a communication processor (e.g., TDXnet). It interfaces with M-series monitors (e.g., 3500/40M, 3500/42M) to continuously collect steady-state operational data and high-resolution transient dynamic waveform data (e.g., vibration, shock, bearing fault signals) from industrial machinery. The collected data is transmitted to host systems via 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX Ethernet links for real-time analysis, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance of critical equipment like turbines, motors, and pumps in oil and gas, power generation, and chemical industries.
Notably, the module is not part of the critical safety monitoring path, so its operation does not affect the automatic machinery protection functions of the 3500 system. It supports optional channel-enabling disks for capturing dynamic transient data and features industrial-grade electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design to ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
