FAQs

Q1: What is the primary function of the 3500/50M-01-00?
It is a 2-channel Tachometer Module that measures shaft rotational speed, rotor acceleration, and rotor direction from proximity probes or magnetic pickups. It compares measurements against user-programmable alarm setpoints and can supply conditioned Keyphasor signals to the 3500 rack backplane .
Q2: Can the 3500/50M be used for overspeed protection?
No. Bently Nevada explicitly warns that the 3500/50M must not be used as a component of a speed control or overspeed protection system. It lacks the redundancy and response speed required for safety-critical overspeed trips. For overspeed protection, the 3500/53 module or 141539-01 Overspeed Protection System is required .
Q3: What does the "-01" and "-00" suffix mean?
The -01 indicates I/O Module with Internal Terminations (field wiring connects inside the rack via the 133442-01 I/O module) . The -00 indicates no hazardous area agency approvals are included . For hazardous area installations, use -01 or -02 approval suffix .
Q4: What configuration options are available?
The module supports: Speed Monitoring with Setpoint Alarming, Speed Band Alarming, Zero Speed Notification, Rotor Acceleration Alarming, and Reverse Rotation Notification . Configuration is performed using the 3500 Rack Configuration software.
Q5: What is the difference between the 3500/50 and 3500/50M?
The "M" designation indicates M-series (enhanced) capabilities, including better integration with Bently Nevada's System 1 diagnostic platform and improved internal processing for higher frequency inputs . The standard 3500/50 lacks these enhanced features.
