Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/62 133811-03 Process Variable Monitor is a specialized monitoring module in the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. It is designed to interface with process variable signals such as pressure, flow, level, or temperature from industrial transmitters. By bringing process data into the same rack system that monitors machinery parameters like vibration and position, the 3500/62 allows engineers to view both machinery and process conditions in a unified platform.
This monitor accepts standard 4–20 mA signals and provides electrical isolation, scaling, alarming, and integration with the rack’s display and communication modules. The 3500/62 enhances plant reliability by enabling correlation of machinery health with process conditions, supporting both protection and predictive maintenance strategies.
