Product Introduction
The Bently Nevada 3500/22M 288055-01 Transient Data Interface (TDI) Module is an integral component of the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection and Condition Monitoring System. Designed to serve as the primary communication interface between the 3500 rack and external software platforms such as System 1®, the 22M TDI module collects and transmits static, dynamic, and transient data from all modules in the rack.
This module combines the functionality of the older 3500/20 Rack Interface Module and a Communication Processor Module into a single high-performance unit. With its modular design, the 3500/22M supports both transient data and static values and plays a critical role in real-time diagnostics and post-event analysis. Equipped with dual-redundant Ethernet ports and buffered output interfaces, the 22M TDI ensures robust data communication with minimal latency and high reliability across a wide range of industrial machinery monitoring applications.
