3500-93 135785-02C

Main features and advantages:

Implementing the BENTLY 3500-93 135785-02C brings significant advantages to industrial operations. Its wireless design reduces installation costs by up to 60% compared to traditional wired setups, as there’s no need for extensive cabling, conduit installation, and labor for cable routing. This not only speeds up the deployment process but also allows for quicker system expansions or modifications, enabling businesses to adapt to changing production needs more rapidly.

The module’s high-speed Wi-Fi 6 connectivity ensures fast and reliable data transfer, minimizing latency and enabling real-time monitoring and control. For maintenance teams, this means they can access up-to-date machinery health data promptly, facilitating more accurate predictive maintenance decisions. The rugged construction and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for harsh industrial environments, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance efforts. Additionally, its support for multiple industry-standard protocols simplifies integration with existing control systems and software platforms, eliminating the need for complex middleware or custom programming, and streamlining overall system management.

Application areas:

The BENTLY 3500-93 135785-02C is particularly well-suited for several industries and applications. In automotive manufacturing plants, where production lines are often reconfigured to accommodate different vehicle models, the wireless functionality allows for easy relocation of monitoring equipment without the hassle of rewiring. It can transmit real-time vibration and temperature data from robotic arms, conveyor belts, and other critical machinery to the central control system, ensuring smooth production flow and preventing unexpected breakdowns.

In the oil and gas industry, especially in offshore platforms and remote drilling sites, the module’s ability to operate in harsh conditions and its wireless connectivity are invaluable. It can connect 3500 monitoring modules on pumps, compressors, and turbines to onshore monitoring centers, enabling remote monitoring and diagnostics. This reduces the need for frequent on-site inspections, saving time and costs while improving safety by minimizing human exposure to hazardous environments.

Warehouses and distribution centers also benefit from the 3500-93 135785-02C . With its wireless capabilities, it can monitor the performance of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), forklifts, and conveyor systems, even as these move around the facility. By collecting and analyzing data on equipment usage, wear and tear, and operational efficiency, managers can optimize logistics processes, reduce downtime, and increase overall productivity.

Installation and maintenance:

Before installing the BENTLY 3500-93 135785-02C, it’s essential to perform a site survey to identify optimal locations for access points to ensure sufficient wireless coverage and minimize interference. Verify that the 3500 rack firmware is at least version [X] to support the module’s wireless and protocol conversion features. Check the compatibility of the target systems (SCADA, cloud platforms) with the supported protocols of the module. When mounting the module in the rack, ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating, as high temperatures can degrade wireless performance.

For ongoing maintenance, regularly monitor the wireless signal strength and link quality indicators on the module’s front panel. A drop in signal strength may indicate interference or a problem with the access point, requiring investigation. Quarterly, inspect the wireless antennas for any signs of damage or loose connections. Update the module’s firmware annually through Bently’s official channels to benefit from the latest security patches, performance improvements, and compatibility enhancements. Periodically test the module’s roaming capabilities by simulating equipment movement within the wireless coverage area to ensure seamless connectivity transitions.
