Bently Nevada 3500/33 | 16 Channel Relay Module

Bently Nevada 3500/33 is a 16 channel relay module from Bently Nevada

· Output channel: It has 16 independent relay output channels, each of which can be independently programmed and controlled.

· Maximum switching current: 5A.

· Maximum switching voltage: 30VDC.

· Power consumption: The typical power consumption is 5.8 watts.

· Dimensions: 9.50 inches high, 0.96 inches wide, 9.52 inches deep.

· Weight: 0.7kg.

· Relay contact life: 100000 cycles.

· Communication capability: Supports Ethernet TCP/IP and serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) communication, allowing Ethernet communication with 3500 rack configuration 

software. It also supports proprietary protocols from Bently Nevada, as well as Modicon Modbus and Modbus/TCP protocols.

· Equipment protection and alarm output: When connected monitoring devices such as vibration monitors, temperature monitors, etc. detect abnormal equipment operation 

and issue alarm signals, the 3500/33 module can output control signals through corresponding relay channels according to preset logic, triggering external alarm devices 

such as sound and light alarms, signal lights, etc., to promptly remind operators of equipment failures, so that corresponding measures can be taken to deal with them and 

protect the safe operation of the equipment.

· Equipment interlocking and control: Interlocking control between equipment can be achieved through programming and configuration of relay modules based on the 

operating status and process requirements of the equipment. For example, when a critical equipment fails, the relay module can automatically cut off the power or control 

signals of other related equipment, preventing the fault from further expanding and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the entire production system.

· Signal conversion and driving: It can convert digital signals or weak electrical signals inside the 3500 system into strong electrical signals that can directly drive external 

devices, while achieving electrical isolation of signals to avoid interference signals from external devices from affecting the internal 3500 system, improving the reliability 

and stability of the system. This module can drive various types of loads, such as solenoid valves, contactors, motor starters, etc., to achieve direct control of external devices.

· Redundant control and voting logic: In some applications that require high reliability, multiple 3500/33 modules can be configured to achieve redundant control and voting 

logic through programming. For example, using a two out of three or one out of two voting method, the output action is triggered only when the signals from multiple 

channels are consistent, improving the system's fault tolerance and reliability, and ensuring the safe operation of critical equipment.

· Remote control and monitoring: The relay output signal of this module can be connected to a remote control center or monitoring system through a remote transmission

 line, achieving remote control and monitoring of the equipment. The operator can monitor the real-time operation status and alarm information of the equipment in the 

control room far away from the equipment site through the monitoring system, and can remotely control the start stop, reset and other operations of the equipment.
