Bently Nevada 3500/92 136180-01 Communication Gateway Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/92 136180-01 acts as a critical bridge for industrial monitoring systems. Designed for heavy-duty environments like power plants and refineries, this module handles communication between machinery sensors and control systems. It’s built to keep data flowing reliably even in high-vibration settings or areas with electrical interference.

Commonly deployed in turbine monitoring systems and vibration analysis networks, this module connects directly to Bently Nevada’s 3500 series monitoring racks. For example, in a gas processing facility, it might link proximity probes on a compressor train to the central DCS system. Our inventory includes companion modules like the 3500/44 vibration interface card and 3500/22M power supply unit, ensuring full system compatibility.

Redundant communication paths prevent single points of failure – during a recent plant retrofit, this module maintained data flow even after a network switch failure. Its modular design allows hot-swapping of interface cards without system shutdown. While the 3000μs processing speed might seem slow on paper, real-world testing shows it handles 500+ sensor inputs with sub-second latency. Users report fewer communication dropouts compared to older 90s-era modules, particularly in facilities with high EMI from variable frequency drives.
