Bently Nevada 4170180-01-05 – External Transducer I/O Module | 3500 Series Platform
Engineering Background: The Bently Nevada 3500 Series is the industry benchmark for continuous machinery protection monitoring, deployed across power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and rotating equipment facilities worldwide. The 4170180-01-05 External Transducer I/O Module extends the 3500 rack’s signal acquisition capability by providing dedicated external transducer interface channels, enabling engineers to connect proximity probes, accelerometers, and velocity sensors without occupying primary monitor card slots.
Product Positioning: Designed for procurement engineers and reliability teams requiring a certified, OEM-sourced I/O expansion component for existing 3500 Series racks. This module is a direct-fit replacement and system expansion unit, maintaining full compatibility with Bently Nevada’s System 1 software ecosystem and rack-level diagnostics.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 4170180-01-05 interfaces between field-mounted transducers and the 3500 rack’s internal monitoring cards via the rack backplane. Transducer signals (raw voltage or current loop) are conditioned and routed through the module’s I/O channels to the designated monitor card, which performs gap, direct, 1X, 2X, and overall vibration measurements. The module supports both buffered output and direct rack communication, ensuring no signal degradation across the measurement chain.
