3500/92 is a Communication Gateway module developed by Bently Nevada. The 3500/92 Communication Gateway module offers extensive serial (RS232/RS422/RS485) and Ethernet TCP/IP communication capabilities for integrating all rack monitoring values and statuses with process control and other automation systems. Additionally, it enables Ethernet communication with the data acquisition software and 3500 Rack Configuration Software. Protocols supported include:
- Modicon Modbus protocol (through serial communications)
- Modbus/TCP protocol (a serial Modbus variation used for TCP/IP Ethernet communications)
- Proprietary Bently Nevada protocol(for communication with 3500 Rack Configuration and Data Acquisition Software packages)
3500/92 Functional Description
For 10BASE-T star configuration Ethernet networks, the 3500/92’s Ethernet connection is an RJ45 connection. With the exception of the primary value Modbus registers, the 3500/92 supports the communication interfaces, communication protocols, and additional functionality from the original 3500/90. The primary value Modbus registers were replaced by a Configurable Modbus Register Utility in the 3500/92, which may now offer the same functionality.
