Data Display and Transfer

System can be configured to show a
machine train diagram with live data
System can be configured to provide either
real time and/or historical data
Data can be displayed on third party device
using DDE or Modbus, or on Bently
Nevadas own LCD remote displays

Computer Display Examples

3500/93 Remote Display

Wiring and Configuration

Direct termination at monitor I/O module, or
external termination
Transducer configuration, time delay, trip
multiply and more are easily configured
Relay energize conditions are easily
programmable for various logical conditions

Redundancy and Support

Two power supplies support redundancy
Hot Swappable monitors and power
supplies can be removed and installed
during system operation
Keyphasors can be implemented as backups
for each other

Alarms and Operations

Alarm setpoints can be digitally configured
without reconfiguring monitor
System maintains alarm and rack operation
history, including time and date stamps
Rack and monitors can be reset from
software
