Bently Nevada 3500/05-01-01-01-00-01 – 19-Inch Rack-Mount Chassis | 3500 Machinery Protection System
Engineering Background: The Bently Nevada 3500 Series is the industry benchmark for continuous online machinery protection, trusted by petrochemical, power generation, and rotating equipment engineers worldwide. The 3500/05 System Rack serves as the structural and electrical backbone of the entire 3500 platform, housing all monitor modules, the power supply, and the communication interface in a single, standards-compliant 19-inch enclosure.
Product Positioning: Designed for mission-critical installations where unplanned downtime is unacceptable, the 3500/05-01-01-01-00-01 rack configuration supports full-complement module population, dual-channel power redundancy options, and seamless integration with DCS/SCADA systems via Modbus, Ethernet, and 3500 TDI protocols. It is the preferred chassis for new greenfield installations and direct OEM replacement in existing 3500 protection panels.

Engineering Advantages
- Modular scalability: Populate only the slots required today; expand without chassis replacement.
- Hot-swap capability: Individual monitor modules can be replaced under power (with appropriate configuration), minimizing process interruption.
- Redundant power architecture: Dual power supply slots allow N+1 redundancy for SIL-rated installations.
- Unified configuration: All modules share a single System 1 / Rack Configuration Manager software environment, reducing engineering hours.
- Backward compatibility: Accepts all current 3500-series monitor, I/O, and communication modules without hardware modification.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Field transducers (accelerometers, proximity probes, velocity sensors) connect to individual monitor modules installed in the 3500/05 rack. Each module conditions raw signals, applies alarm setpoints, and passes processed data across the internal backplane to the 3500/22 or 3500/92 communication gateway. The gateway aggregates all channel data and transmits to the plant DCS or historian via Modbus or OPC-DA/UA, enabling real-time trending, alarm annunciation, and predictive maintenance workflows.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 3500/05-01-01-01-00-01 compatible with older 3500-series modules?
A: Yes. The 3500/05 backplane is backward-compatible with all production 3500-series monitor and communication modules.
Q: Can this rack be used in a SIL 2 safety loop?
A: The 3500 platform supports SIL 2 applications when configured per Bently Nevada’s functional safety manual (document 141228). Consult your safety engineer for the full SIL assessment.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 3–5 business days. Sourced units typically require 7–15 business days depending on availability.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes — 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and functional failure under normal operating conditions.
