The 3500/65 (Assembly Number 184469-01) is a high-density temperature monitoring module designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. This 16-channel unit is engineered to interface with both Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and Thermocouples (TCs) to monitor critical machinery temperatures, such as radial and thrust bearing metal, stator windings, and lube oil. By providing continuous thermal data, it identifies abnormal heating conditions before they lead to mechanical failure or insulation breakdown.

The 184469-01 module occupies a single slot in the 3500 rack and utilizes a dedicated I/O module for field wiring. It performs continuous self-diagnostics, monitoring for open-circuit or short-circuit sensor conditions. When integrated with the 3500/92 Communication Gateway, all 16 channels of temperature data are transmitted via Modbus or Ethernet to the plant's DCS for centralized process control and historical trending.
Q: Can I mix RTDs and Thermocouples on the same 3500/65 module?
A: Yes, the 184469-01 hardware supports mixed sensor types; however, they must be grouped correctly according to the specific I/O module and configuration software settings to ensure cold-junction compensation and signal accuracy.
