FAQs
Q1: What is the primary function of the 3500/62-05-00?
It is a 6-channel Process Variable Monitor that accepts 4-20 mA current inputs from industrial transmitters. It conditions these signals, compares them against user-programmable alarm setpoints (Alert and Danger), and triggers alarms or relay logic to protect machinery. It monitors non-vibration parameters such as pressure, flow, temperature, and level .
Q2: What is the difference between the -05-00 configuration and the -03-00 configuration?
The -05-00 uses the 137110-01 Barrier I/O Module with intrinsically safe zener barriers and internal terminations, providing I.S. power to field transmitters in hazardous areas . The -03-00 uses the 136294-01 Isolated I/O Module with 500 VDC isolation but no intrinsic safety barriers.
Q3: Can the 3500/62-05-00 be used in a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configuration?
Yes. For TMR applications, three identical 3500/62 modules must be installed adjacent to each other in the rack. The system uses two types of voting to ensure accurate operation and avoid single-point failures. This configuration provides the highest level of reliability for safety-critical applications.
Q4: What are the hazardous area approvals for this configuration?
When used with the Internal Barrier I/O Module, the 3500/62-05-00 holds ATEX, IECEx, and cNRTLus certifications for hazardous area installation. The internal barriers provide intrinsically safe power to 4-20 mA transducers located in Zone 0/1/2 (gas) or Division 1 (North America) hazardous areas.
Q5: What firmware and software versions are required for the 3500/62?
Adding the 3500/62 to an existing 3500 system requires:
-
3500/20 Module Firmware: 1.07 (Rev G) or later
-
3500/01 Software: Version 2.20 or later
-
3500/02 Software: Version 2.10 or later
-
3500/03 Software: Version 1.20 or later
-
If Internal Barrier I/O is used: 3500/62 Firmware 1.06 (Rev C) and 3500/01 Software Version 2.30
