Bently Nevada 125744-02 RS422 Serial I/O Module 3500 Series

Product Description

Bently Nevada 125744-02 is a rear-mounted serial I/O module designed for integration with the 3500/92 Communication Gateway. This module provides a dedicated RS422 interface for high-speed, point-to-point serial communication, enabling reliable transmission of machinery data, status, and event logs to external systems such as PLCs or DCS.

Key Features

• RS422 4-wire interface for full-duplex communication

• Built-in internal termination resistors to prevent signal reflections and simplify wiring

• Differential signaling for enhanced noise immunity in high-interference industrial environments

• Supports long-distance data transmission up to 1,200 meters (4,000 feet)

• Configurable baud rates up to 38.4 kbps

• 500 Vdc galvanic isolation from the rack for added system protection

• Compatible exclusively with the 3500/92 Communication Gateway Main Module

Applications

• Direct connection from a 3500 rack to DCS, PLC, or other external monitoring systems

• Long-distance, high-integrity serial links in turbine, compressor, and generator monitoring systems

• Industrial environments with high EMI or electrical noise
