General Introduction

Technical Features

• Protocol Support136：It supports EGD (Version 2.01) and Ethernet UDP/IP protocols. The Ethernet standard it adheres to is IEEE 802.3 for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX (twisted pair), which guarantees reliable and high-speed data transmission over Ethernet networks.
• Rack Space Requirement1：The main module requires 1 full-height front slot, and the I/O modules need 1 full-height rear slot in the 3500 rack, ensuring proper integration within the system.
• Data Transmission Capability2：It enables real-time data transmission with high data throughput, allowing it to handle a large amount of real-time monitoring data from the 3500 system and transmit it accurately to other connected systems.

Functionalities

• Comprehensive Communication：It collects and transmits various monitored values and status information from the 3500 rack, providing a holistic view of the machinery's operating conditions to other systems that are integrated with it.
• System Integration：It allows for the integration of the Bently 3500 monitoring system with EGD protocol-compatible controllers, such as GE Mark* VIe controllers, enhancing the overall control and management capabilities of the industrial system167.
• Response Time Optimization：The Ethernet network path provided by the 3500/91M offers information with response times suitable for controller applications, enabling timely decision-making and control actions136.

Applications

• Power Generation Industry：In power plants, it can integrate the Bently 3500 monitoring system with the plant's distributed control system (DCS) or other control systems. This allows for the seamless transfer of data related to turbine vibrations, temperatures, and other crucial parameters, helping operators to monitor and optimize the power generation process.
• Petrochemical Industry：In petrochemical refineries and plants, the 3500/91M can connect the 3500 monitoring system with different process control systems. It enables the transmission of data from various sensors and monitors in the plant, such as those on pumps, compressors, and reactors, facilitating efficient operation and maintenance.
• Manufacturing Industry：In manufacturing facilities, especially those with complex machinery and production lines, the 3500/91M can integrate the 3500 system with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other automation systems. This helps in monitoring the performance of manufacturing equipment, improving production efficiency and product quality.
