Bently Nevada 146031-01 3500 Rack Interface Module

Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 146031-01 is a 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI) I/O Module used in the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It combines the functions of a 3500/20 Rack Interface Module (RIM) and a communication processor, providing communication between the 3500 monitoring rack and System 1 Machinery Management Software.

The module captures and transfers machinery condition data, including steady-state values and transient waveform data from 3500 monitoring modules, enabling advanced vibration analysis and predictive maintenance.
