3500/20 – Rack Interface Module

The Bently Nevada 3500/20 Rack Interface Module (RIM) is a crucial part of the 3500 Series Machinery Protection System, providing the essential interface between the monitoring system and communication networks. This module manages the configuration, status reporting, and data communication for all modules in the 3500 rack, making it the central nervous system for your machinery protection and condition monitoring infrastructure.

The 3500/20 RIM enables seamless integration with host systems such as System 1® software, DCS (Distributed Control Systems), and other data acquisition systems via industry-standard communication protocols like Modbus (Serial & Ethernet), OPC, and TDI. It continuously collects data from the monitoring modules in the rack and transmits it for visualization, trending, diagnostics, and archiving.

In addition to communication functionality, the 3500/20 also performs self-checks, monitors rack health, and provides centralized alarm management. It is equipped with LED indicators to signal module status, communication activity, and alarm conditions for quick troubleshooting and operational clarity.

This module is essential for centralized control and is typically installed in Slot 1 of the 3500 rack. It plays a key role in achieving API 670 compliance and supports mission-critical operations in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical, and manufacturing.

The hot-swappable design of the 3500/20 means the module can be replaced or upgraded without system shutdown, minimizing downtime and maintaining protection during servicing. Whether used in power plants, refineries, offshore platforms, or manufacturing facilities, the 3500/20 is critical for maintaining operational integrity and equipment safety.

Whether you are deploying a new 3500 system or upgrading an existing one, the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module ensures intelligent, reliable, and real-time communication between your machinery protection system and your plant’s control environment.
