Bently Nevada 3500/23E-00-00 Transient Data Interface 3500 ENCORE Monitoring System
Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 3500/23E is an Ethernet System Interface Module (SIM) for GE Bently Nevada's flagship 3500 Series platform. It provides a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet gateway for critical monitoring data such as vibration, temperature, displacement, and speed, seamlessly connecting the 3500 rack to System 1 asset management software, third-party PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider), and DCSs (Honeywell, Emerson, and Yokogawa). The "E" suffix on the model designates enhanced firmware and support for IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), ensuring cross-system event timestamp accuracy of <1 ms, meeting API 670 and IEC 61508 SIL2/SIL3 requirements.
Key Advantages
• 100 Mbit/s full-duplex Ethernet: TCP/UDP, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU (serial port)
• Dual redundant network: Independent MAC/IP addresses for ports A and B, supporting PRP/HSR network redundancy and zero-packet-loss switchover
• PTP time synchronization: IEEE 1588-2008, combined with GPS/IRIG-B for plant-wide clock synchronization within <1 ms
• Plug-and-Play: Automatically identifies the status of all monitoring modules, relays, and power supplies in the 3500 rack, eliminating the need for manual I/O mapping
• In-depth diagnostics: Real-time reporting of rack temperature, power supply voltage, fuse status, and communication link health; event logs with 1 ms timestamps
• Hot-swappable: Online firmware replacement or upgrade with zero downtime; supports SNMP traps and SMTP email alerts
• Network security: TLS 1.3 encryption, 802.1X authentication, whitelist firewall, HTTPS web Management Interface
• Wide operating temperature: –40°C to +70°C, suitable for Arctic LNG, Middle Eastern deserts, and offshore platforms
