Machinery Protection Communication Solution – Bently Nevada 3500/92-04-01-00 | 3500 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Bently Nevada 3500/92-04-01-00 Communication Gateway is engineered for mission-critical industrial environments where real-time machinery health data must be transmitted reliably to plant-wide control and monitoring systems. Typical deployment sites include:
- Oil & Gas Facilities – Compressor trains, turbines, and pumping stations requiring continuous vibration and process data relay to DCS/SCADA platforms.
- Power Generation Plants – Steam and gas turbine protection racks integrated with plant historians and operator workstations via Modbus or Ethernet.
- Petrochemical & Refining – Rotating equipment monitoring systems where the 3500 rack must communicate alarm and trip data to safety instrumented systems (SIS).
- Marine & Offshore Platforms – Harsh-environment installations demanding robust serial and network communication with minimal latency.
- Pulp, Paper & Heavy Industry – Multi-rack 3500 systems networked to centralized condition monitoring software (e.g., System 1).

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the 3500/92-04-01-00 compatible with all 3500 rack sizes?
A: Yes. It is compatible with both 4-slot and 14-slot 3500 series rack chassis, occupying the designated communication gateway slot.
Q: Can this module communicate with a Modbus TCP master simultaneously with a serial Modbus RTU master?
A: Yes. The -04-01-00 variant supports concurrent Modbus TCP and RTU sessions, enabling parallel DCS and local HMI connectivity.
Q: Does this replace the older 3500/92-01-01-00 or 3500/92-02-01-00 variants?
A: The 3500/92-04-01-00 is the current-generation variant and is backward-compatible with earlier 3500/92 form factors. Verify firmware compatibility with your rack configuration software version before installation.
Q: Is a Bently Nevada software license required to configure this module?
A: Configuration requires Bently Nevada’s rack configuration software (typically supplied with the 3500 system). Contact us if you need assistance sourcing the software or a configuration service.
Q: What warranty is provided?
A: Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested units. Extended warranty options are available upon request.
