Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/01-01 Rack Configuration Software is an essential software utility designed specifically for configuring and managing the Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System. This utility allows system integrators, field engineers, and maintenance teams to configure every module within the 3500 rack — including vibration monitors, relay modules, communication interfaces, and system parameters.
The software supports intuitive drag-and-drop configuration, module diagnostics, and advanced customization to adapt to unique plant or machine requirements. With real-time communication to the rack via a serial or Ethernet interface, users can upload, download, and verify configuration files, track changes, and maintain version control across the system.
Built with Bently Nevada’s legacy of high-reliability condition monitoring, the 3500/01-01 software is vital for industries that depend on accurate, fast, and secure monitoring of critical rotating machinery.
