Description
BENTLY NEVADA 136188-02 Ethernet/RS485 Modbus I/O Module
1. Product Description
The BENTLY NEVADA 136188-02 is a high-performance communication gateway module designed for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. It bridges the gap between rotating machinery (e.g., turbines, compressors) and industrial automation systems by enabling real-time data exchange via Ethernet TCP/IP and RS485 Modbus protocols. This module processes vibration, temperature, and displacement signals from sensors, transmitting them to control platforms like SCADA or DCS for predictive maintenance and operational optimization. With a compact design and dual-protocol support, the 136188-02 ensures seamless integration in industries requiring reliable machinery health monitoring.
