3500/92 Communication Gateway Module

Brand: Bently Nevada™ | Model: 3500/92 | Series: 3500 Series | Type: Communication Gateway Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/92 Gateway delivers extensive communication capabilities for all rack monitored values. It supports Ethernet TCP/IP and serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) interfaces. The module integrates with process control and automation systems. It also enables Ethernet communication with 3500 Rack Configuration Software and Data Acquisition Software. The 3500/92 replaces the original 3500/90 with enhanced Modbus register configurability.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Diagnostics

• Configurable Modbus Register Utility – replaces primary value Modbus registers from the 3500/90.
• High-speed internal network collects current measured values, time stamps, module statuses, and alarm statuses.
• Diagnostic LEDs: OK (operation status) and TX/RX (communication with other rack modules).
• Supports Modbus RTU (serial RS232/RS422/RS485) and Modbus/TCP over Ethernet.
• Bently Nevada proprietary protocol for configuration and data acquisition software.
• Environmental immunity: wide temperature range (-30°C to +65°C) and 95% humidity tolerance.

Installation & Maintenance

• Easy rack mounting: occupies 1 full-height front slot and 1 rear I/O slot.
• RJ45 Ethernet connection for 10BASE-T star topology networks.
• Serial interfaces: RS232, RS422, RS485 (selectable via I/O module).
• No special tools required for module insertion or removal.
• Firmware updates and configuration via 3500 software over Ethernet.
• Routine maintenance: visual inspection of LEDs and connection integrity.

Compatibility & Certifications
