Bently Nevada 350092-136180-01 – 3500/92 Communication Gateway with 136180-01 Rear I/O Plate

The Bently Nevada 350092-136180-01 pairs a 3500/92 Communication Gateway with its matching rear I/O plate 136180‑01. From my experience, this is the clean, rack‑native way to present 3500 rack data to plant systems—think DCS, PLCs, and historians—using Modbus over Ethernet or serial. You might notice that keeping the OEM rear plate in place makes cabinet wiring predictable and, in many cases, turns a swap into a simple plug‑in job during a turnaround.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty period: 365 days
• Delivery time: 1 week for in-stock; no more than 1 month at the latest
• Payment method: 50% advance payment; full payment for delivery
• Express delivery methods: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Rack data gateway – Publishes 3500 measurement/status data to control systems via Modbus TCP/IP or serial Modbus RTU.
• Matched rear I/O (136180‑01) – RJ‑45 Ethernet and labeled serial/terminal points keep terminations tidy and traceable.
• Backplane integration – Powered and synchronized through the 3500 rack; no separate front‑end PSU wiring to the module.
• Read‑only interface – Typically serves data outward without changing rack configuration, which plants prefer for robustness.
• Service‑friendly – Front plug‑in card with rear terminations; in many cases you don’t need to disturb adjacent modules during maintenance.

Technical Specifications

Values below reflect commonly supplied characteristics for a 3500/92 with rear plate 136180‑01. Share your rack option string and network details and we’ll verify the exact fit before shipment.

Application Fields

• Linking 3500 racks on compressors, turbines, and large motors to DCS/PLC systems via Modbus
• Publishing machine protection status to plant historians and alarm servers
• Retrofits migrating from local annunciation to centralized visibility without rewiring probe loops
• Multi‑train sites standardizing on 3500 hardware for consistent data mapping and maintenance

Advantages & Value

• Low integration risk – Native gateway with OEM tag structures typically shortens commissioning.
• Compatibility – Works alongside 3500/22M TDI and rack relays; in many cases it’s a like‑for‑like replacement.
• Maintenance efficiency – Labeled rear terminations and clean segregation of network wiring help during tight outage windows.
• Cost control – Minimizes custom gateways and associated engineering hours.

Installation & Maintenance

• Networking – Assign IP addressing carefully; separate the Modbus network from high‑EMI cabling and VFD outputs.
• Grounding – Bond the rack using single‑point practice; maintain shield continuity on adjacent low‑level signal wiring.
• Commissioning – Validate tag maps and byte/word order with your DCS/PLC; run a quick Modbus client test before handover.
• Routine care – Check link/health LEDs, confirm port speed/duplex, and re‑torque terminal screws during PMs; apply firmware updates per site policy.

Quality & Certifications

• CE and RoHS compliance (typical for Bently Nevada 3500 components)
• UL/cUL suitability for industrial control panels, model dependent
• Manufacturer’s warranty: 12 months from shipment

Recent feedback from a controls engineer: “Modbus tags lined up with our DCS template, and the rack was online within the same shift.” Share your rack option string, required protocol (TCP or RTU), and any special tag mapping, and we’ll confirm the 3500/92 + 136180‑01 configuration so installation is smooth on the first pass.
