BENTLY 3500/22M 288055-01 Transient Data Interface Module
Product Description
The BENTLY 3500/22M 288055-01 is a high-performance transient data interface module designed for the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. It serves as a bridge between the 3500 monitoring system and compatible software like System 1 Condition Monitoring Software, enabling real-time data collection, analysis, and remote configuration. This module supports both steady-state and high-resolution transient waveform recording, making it ideal for vibration analysis, fault detection, and predictive maintenance in rotating machinery.

Competitive Comparison
Compared to legacy communication processors, the 3500/22M 288055-01 offers:
- Higher Integration: Eliminates external components, reducing installation space and complexity.
- Improved Data Resolution: Supports high-speed transient recording up to 20 kHz for detailed waveform analysis.
- Cost Efficiency: Combines multiple functions into a single module, lowering procurement and maintenance costs.
Selection Recommendations
- Functionality: Choose 288055-01 for USB connectivity and standard Ethernet. Opt for fiber optic variants (e.g., 288055-02) for EMI-sensitive environments.
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your 3500 rack configuration and software (e.g., System 1).
- Budget: Consider bulk discounts for large-scale deployments.
Precautions
-
Installation:
- Mount in slot 1 of the 3500 rack, adjacent to power supplies.
- Ensure proper grounding using the 2-pin connector for SignalCommand integration.
-
Maintenance:
- Regularly update firmware to access new features and bug fixes.
- Monitor LED indicators for system status and data transmission errors.
-
Safety:
- Disconnect power before replacing the module to avoid electrical hazards.
