Description
BENTLY 3500/22-01-01-00
1. Product Description
The BENTLY 3500/22-01-01-00 is a Transient Data Interface (TDI) module designed to integrate the BENTLY 3500 machinery monitoring system with advanced software solutions like System 1 for asset management. It combines the functions of the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module (RIM) and a TDXnet communication processor, enabling real-time data transmission and analysis of both steady-state and transient vibration waveforms from rotating equipment. This module is critical for predictive maintenance in industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, and manufacturing, where continuous machinery health monitoring is essential.
