Bently Nevada 3500/22M 288055-01 is a Transient Data Interface (TDI) for 3500 monitoring systems, enabling continuous steady-state and transient data collection and Ethernet transmission to host software for analysis.

Features and benefits

• Seamless Integration: Interfaces 3500 monitoring systems with System 1 and 3500 Configuration software.
  Data Collection: Continuously captures steady-state and transient waveform data from M series monitors.
  Ethernet Communication: Transmits collected data efficiently to host software.
  Optional High-Resolution Capture: Supports dynamic data via Channel Enabling Disk.
  Rack Compatibility: Occupies Slot 1, next to power supplies, in every 3500 rack.
  Non-Critical Path: Ensures normal system operation while providing enhanced data functionality.

Specific Application

Serving as the primary communications interface to pass continuous steady-state and high-resolution transient dynamic data from a 3500 rack to host software.

Advanced diagnostic vibration analysis requiring simultaneous synchronous and asynchronous waveform sampling across up to 48 channels.

Remote machinery health trending and software-driven configuration modifications on critical plant assets inside industrial control environments.

System Compatibility, Alternative Models, and Differences

• System Compatibility:

The module resides exclusively in Slot 1 (adjacent to the power supplies) of a 3500 full-height monitoring rack. It interfaces natively with M series monitor modules (such as 3500/40M or 3500/42M) and links to host software via copper or fiber optic Ethernet I/O modules.

• Alternative Model (Legacy Predecessor):

3500/20 (Legacy Rack Interface Module / RIM)

• Key Differences between 3500/22M TDI (288055-01) and 3500/20 RIM:

Data Processing Capability: The 3500/22M TDI combines the standard functions of a 3500/20 RIM with the advanced continuous diagnostic and waveform collection processor capability of external systems like TDXnet.

Waveform Capture Support: The 3500/22M captures dynamic and high-resolution transient data via Ethernet, whereas the legacy 3500/20 RIM is limited to static parameter throughput and basic configuration routing.

Front Panel Configuration: The 3500/22M utilizes a modern USB-B port for local laptop connections, whereas older RIM designs relied on traditional serial connection styles.
