- Electrical Safety: Use a stable and reliable power source that meets the specified voltage requirements. Install appropriate electrical protection devices such as fuses and surge protectors to safeguard the module from electrical surges.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the module for any signs of damage or overheating. Clean the module periodically to remove dust and debris that could affect its performance. Keep an eye on the status indicators to quickly identify any potential issues. Update the module’s firmware as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure optimal operation.
BENTLY 3500/42M 176449-02
Expanded channel capacity: With 16 input and 16 output channels, the 3500/42M 176449-02 can handle multiple sensor types across large machinery or entire process lines. This capacity allows it to process signals from numerous 87199-01 sensors (via 135799-01 amplifiers) and thermocouples simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple modules and simplifying system integration.
Superior signal processing: Equipped with 24-bit ADC resolution and a wide filtering range (0.01Hz to 20kHz), the module delivers exceptional measurement accuracy and noise reduction. This high resolution ensures that subtle signal variations from 87199-01 sensors—amplified by the 135799-01—are preserved, enabling early detection of machinery issues such as bearing wear or rotor imbalance. The configurable filters allow optimization for specific sensor types and operating conditions.
Direct thermocouple support: Unlike basic modules, the 3500/42M 176449-02 natively supports 7 thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B), eliminating the need for external transmitters. This integration reduces signal loss and potential points of failure, while the module’s cold junction compensation ensures accurate temperature measurement even in varying ambient conditions.
Enhanced connectivity and remote access: The integrated Ethernet port enables remote configuration via 170180-01-00 software, eliminating the need for on-site access during setup or adjustments. It supports real-time data streaming to cloud platforms or SCADA systems, enhancing visibility in distributed facilities. The RS-485 port allows daisy-chain communication with other modules, simplifying wiring in large installations.
Advanced isolation: With 5kVrms channel-to-channel and channel-to-backplane isolation, the module provides superior protection against ground loops, voltage transients, and electrical interference—critical in high-voltage industrial environments. This isolation ensures measurement integrity when processing signals from 135799-01 amplifiers and thermocouples, even in noisy environments like power plants and steel mills.
