Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/91-01-01-01 EGD Communication Gateway Module is an advanced industrial communication interface specifically designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. This module provides a high-speed and reliable data link between the 3500 system and external supervisory control networks using Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol. It serves as a bridge between the protection system and higher-level control architectures, such as GE Mark VI/VIe, DCS, and PLC systems.
The 3500/91-01-01-01 collects all critical machinery condition data from the rack, including vibration, temperature, speed, and alarm statuses, and transmits this information via Ethernet to control systems for centralized monitoring and decision-making. It supports high-speed, deterministic Ethernet communication and ensures accurate data synchronization across systems.
This module is typically used in high-reliability environments, such as power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical plants, refineries, and marine industries, where seamless data transfer and monitoring precision are vital for operational safety and performance.
