Description
BENTLY NEVADA 3500/91 190782-01 EGD Communication Gateway Module
1. Product Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 3500/91 190782-01 is an Ethernet Global Data (EGD) communication gateway module designed for seamless integration of BENTLY 3500 Series machinery health monitoring systems with industrial control networks. This module enables real-time transmission of critical machine data, including vibration, temperature, and speed measurements, to compatible controllers such as GE Mark*Vie systems. Supporting protocols like EGD v2.01 and Ethernet UDP/IP, it ensures fast response times (<10 ms) for process control applications. The module adheres to IEEE 802.3 standards for 10Base-T/100Base-TX connectivity and is hot-swappable for maintenance flexibility.
