상표: Bently Nevada (Baker Hughes), part of the 3500 Series TSI Machinery Protection System, full-height rack card, base part number: 138629-01; Official Name: Communication Gateway (commonly referred to as communication module in the industry). It collects all monitoring data within the 3500 rack and transmits it externally to DCS/PLC or host computer.
- 모델 코드 설명: 3500/92-A04-B01-C00
3500: 3500 Machinery Protection TSI System
/92: Communication Gateway Module (replaces legacy 3500/90; compared with 3500/91M, it supports custom Modbus register configuration)
A04: Segment A = Serial Submodule Option, 04 = RS485 Modbus RTU Interface
B01: Segment B = Certification Option, 01 = With CSA NRTL/C Safety Certification
C00: Segment C = Additional Option, 00 = No extra options
Key Distinctions
3500/91중: EGD protocol gateway, focused on Ethernet broadcast
3500/92: Supports custom Modbus register mapping, the most widely used TSI external communication card for projects
3500/92-A04: RS485 serial port only; A01 = RS232; A02 = RS422
- 핵심 기술 사양
| 목 | 사양 |
| 설치 | Full-height card for 3500 고문, installed in the right-hand rack slot; 핫스왑 가능 (remove interlock before operation) |
| On-board Ethernet Port | RJ45, 10베이스-T (10M 이더넷), TCP/IP, 모드버스/TCP, BNC host protocol (for configuration software communication) |
| Serial Port (A04) | RS485, 모드버스 RTU, baud rate adjustable from 1200~38400 |
| 지원되는 프로토콜 | 모드버스 RTU (serial), 모드버스/TCP, Bently Nevada proprietary protocol (Rack Configuration, System1) |
| 데이터 수집 | Reads data of all cards via high-speed backplane bus of rack: 진동, 갭, axial displacement, 속도, 온도, alarm status, events, 1X/2X/Smax, 등. |
| Data Refresh | Full rack data refresh ≤1s |
| 전력 소비 | Typical 5.0~5.6W, powered by rack backplane |
| 작동 온도 | -30℃ ~ +65℃ (cabinet environment); 보관온도: -40~+85℃ |
| 습기 | 95% 비응축 |
| 상태 표시기 | 좋아요 (module healthy); TX/RX (backplane rack communication); Ethernet/serial port transmit & receive indicators |
| Key Feature | Customizable Modbus register map. Users can freely select measurement points to upload to DCS without fixed address mapping (유산 3500/90 이 기능을 지원하지 않습니다) |
III. 핵심 기능
- Rack data aggregation and forwarding: Collect real-time values, alarm status and module fault information of all monitoring cards (진동, displacement, 온도, 등.) in the rack and output externally.
- Dual communication interfaces: RJ45 Ethernet + RS485 serial port can work simultaneously. Ethernet is used for PC configuration / System1; RS485 Modbus RTU connects to DCS.
- Flexible Modbus register configuration: Custom register allocation, select measurement points, set range scaling to adapt to DCS address planning, support uploading alarm bits, channel status and rack trip signals.
- 이벤트 & timestamp upload: Alarm trigger and card fault come with timestamps for unit event recording on host computer.
- Module self-diagnosis: Backplane communication fault, Ethernet/serial link fault, card self-check abnormality. OK indicator triggers alarm and writes information into rack event log.
- 일반적인 애플리케이션 시나리오

Bently Nevada 3500/33-A01-B00 16-Channel Relay Module
TSI protection systems for steam turbines, 압축기, fans and large pumps; applied in petrochemical, thermal power and coal chemical industries.
목적: Serve as the data interface between TSI system and DCS, transmit shaft vibration, axial displacement, differential expansion, rotating speed, temperature and other process & protection measurement points to DCS graphics and history database.
메모: 3500/92 only transmits data and does NOT participate in protection trip logic. Hardwired trip contacts rely on 3500/33 relay card.
- 설치 & Configuration Guidelines
- Rack Slot: Right-hand slot of RIM. Single or multiple 92 gateways can be configured in one rack. Communicate via backplane; verify rack version compatibility before installation.
- 배선사양
이더넷: Shielded twisted pair cable, industrial switch, isolated independent network. Do not mix with DCS control network.
RS485 Modbus: Shielded twisted pair cable, match terminal resistor at bus end, single-point grounding to reduce interference.
- Configuration Procedure
Connect rack via Rack Configuration software;
Enter 3500/92 기준 치수, enable Modbus, configure serial parameters (주소, 전송 속도, 둥가);
Open Modbus register mapping tool, select measurement points, set range scaling and generate custom register table;
Download configuration to rack; test register reading with Modbus simulator, verify values and alarm bits.
- 시운전: Confirm OK indicator steady on, TX/RX lights blink for backplane communication; then test Modbus polling on DCS side.
- Common Troubleshooting Checklist
- OK indicator off / flashing: Hardware fault of card, abnormal rack backplane communication. Re-seat the card and inspect RIM module.
- Ethernet connection failure: 손상된 케이블, mismatched IP subnet, firewall interception. Check PC IP and 3500/92 port IP.
- DCS cannot read RS485 Modbus data: Mismatched Modbus slave address, 전송 속도, parity check; terminal resistor not enabled; multi-point grounding of bus; register map not downloaded.
- Value deviation: Incorrect range scaling parameters during configuration.
- No data for partial measurement points: Corresponding channel measurement points are not added to register mapping table.
