Bently Nevada 3500/92 136180-01 Communication Gateway Module

A workhorse for industrial monitoring systems, this communication gateway module bridges critical data gaps in demanding environments. We’ve seen it deployed in power plants where turbine vibration monitoring needs real-time data exchange with SCADA systems, and in oil refineries where reliability during extreme temperature fluctuations is non-negotiable. Its dual Ethernet/IP and TDXnet protocol support makes it particularly valuable for facilities upgrading legacy systems while maintaining operational continuity.

In field applications, we’ve observed this module excel in coordinating between 3500/22M monitoring chassis and control room HMIs. A recent chemical plant installation used it to synchronize shaft vibration data with their DCS system while maintaining ISO 13374-1 condition monitoring standards. For system architects, its compatibility with both legacy TDXnet and modern Ethernet/IP networks proves particularly valuable during phased modernization projects.

Our inventory includes both standard and extended temperature range variants. Popular cross-references include:
• 3500/92M for Modbus TCP integration
• 136180-02 as the fiber optic interface version
• 3500/90 as the base communication module

We maintain active partnerships with Bently Nevada-certified engineers for technical support. While the module itself carries a typical 15-year lifecycle, our extended warranty program ensures replacement part availability beyond standard obsolescence timelines. Real-time diagnostics through our AssetGuard™ portal provide predictive maintenance insights during operation.

Note: While the module supports hot-swap functionality in redundant configurations, we recommend verifying network topology compatibility with Bently Nevada’s System 1 software before installation. Our engineers can assist with configuration files if needed.
