The 3500/22 (161580-01) serves as the primary communication gateway between the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack and the System 1 management software. This Transient Data Interface (TDI) replaces the legacy 3500/20 Rack Interface Module (RIM), offering enhanced data collection capabilities and faster processing for machinery protection and condition monitoring.
The 3500/22 is engineered to capture both steady-state and transient waveform data (such as startups and shutdowns), providing engineers with high-resolution diagnostics for critical rotating assets. The integration of an Ethernet-based I/O module ensures seamless data throughput across industrial networks.

The 3500/22 (161580-01) is typically installed in the slot immediately to the right of the power supplies. It is essential for facilities requiring automated data collection for predictive maintenance. By utilizing the 10/100 Ethernet I/O, it eliminates the need for external protocol converters, allowing for a direct backbone connection to the plant's server infrastructure.
How does the 3500/22 (161580-01) differ from the older 3500/20 RIM?
The TDI provides the ability to collect transient waveform data (oscilloscope-like snapshots) which the older RIM cannot. It also features integrated Ethernet support, whereas the 3500/20 often required additional hardware for network connectivity.
Does this module support redundant power?
While the TDI itself is a single module, it is powered by the 3500 rack's redundant power supplies, ensuring continuous communication even if one power source fails.
