Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/91M 190782-01 EGD Communication Gateway Module is a high-performance communication interface designed for integration between the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System and external control systems such as GE Mark VI, DCS, and PLC platforms. It functions as a gateway that converts machinery protection and condition monitoring data into Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol, allowing seamless, real-time data exchange between machinery monitoring and plant automation systems.
This module provides reliable and deterministic data transfer, ensuring that critical vibration, position, temperature, and speed information from the 3500 rack is instantly available to supervisory systems. The 3500/91M enhances visibility, diagnostics, and plant control efficiency without compromising the integrity of the protection system.
It is widely used in gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating machinery across industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation.
