Bently 3500/92 Communication Gateway

Bently 3500/92 Communication Gateway

OVERVIEW

The 3500/92 Communication Gateway module provides extensive communication capabilities of all rack monitored values and statuses for integration with process control and other automation systems using both Ethernet TCP/IP and serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) communications capabilities. It also permits Ethernet communications with 3500 Rack Configuration Software and Data Acquisition Software. Supported protocols include: 

  Modicon® Modbus® protocol (via serial communications) 

  Modbus/TCP protocol (a variant of serial Modbus used for TCP/IP Ethernet communications) 

  Proprietary Bently Nevada protocol (for communication with 3500 Rack Configuration and Data Acquisition Software packages) The Ethernet connection to the 3500/92 is an RJ45 connection for 10BASE-T star configuration Ethernet networks. The 3500/92 supports the communication interfaces, communication protocols, and other features from the original 3500/90 with the exception of the primary value Modbus registers. The 3500/92 now has a Configurable Modbus Register Utility, which can provide the same functionality originally addressed by the primary value Modbus registers.

Key Features and Functions

Wide range of communication capabilities:

The 3500/92 Communication Gateway supports Ethernet TCP/IP and serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) communication protocols, which enables it to communicate with a wide range of devices and systems.

It also supports Ethernet communication with 3500 frame configuration software and data acquisition software, which facilitates remote monitoring and data management.

Multiple protocol support:

Supported protocols include Modicon Modbus (for communication via serial), Modbus/TCP (an alternative form of serial Modbus for TCP/IP Ethernet communication), and Bently Nevada proprietary protocols (for communication with the 3500 Frame configuration and data acquisition software packages).

Configurable Modbus register functionality:

The 3500/92 Communications Gateway has configurable Modbus register functionality, which allows it to provide the same functionality as the initial value registers, increasing the flexibility and customisability of the device.

Status Indication:

LED indicators on the front panel of the device (e.g., OK LED and TX/RX LED) can indicate the device's operating status and communication status, which is convenient for users to carry out troubleshooting and device maintenance.

High Reliability:

The 3500/92 communication gateway adopts high-quality materials and manufacturing process, which can work stably under harsh environmental conditions and ensure long-term operational reliability.
