Product Short Description

  • Product Name
    • Hiway Interface Module (HIM) for Bently Nevada 3500 Series Machinery Protection System
  • Product Introduction

    This module is a key rack interface component under Bently Nevada’s 3500 series, now produced and distributed under Schneider Electric after Bently Nevada’s integration. It serves as a dedicated communication bridge connecting the Tricon controller and Honeywell TDC – 3000/2000 control systems via Hiway Gateway and Local Control Network as well as Data Hiway. It acts as the core data transfer hub within the 3500 series mechanical protection system, undertaking tasks such as data management, rack parameter configuration and external system integration. It must be installed in the No.1 slot of the 3500 series rack next to the power module. It supports hot – swap and hot – standby functions, enabling on – line replacement of faulty modules without interrupting the overall system operation. It is supplied with original factory packaging and is widely recognized as an essential component for ensuring stable data communication in industrial automation monitoring systems.

Description

  • Technical Specifications
    • Communication Parameters: It has 2 isolated AC – coupled data Hiway channels, with 2 poll response switches per channel and a fixed baud rate of 250 Kbaud. It provides 8 Hiway addresses and can finish refreshing all data in less than 0.5 seconds. It supports Gigabit Ethernet, RS – 232/RS – 422 serial interfaces, Modbus TCP/IP and Profibus protocols.
    • Electrical Parameters: It adopts a 24V DC power supply, with a typical power consumption of 4.75 watts. It is equipped with a 1GHz processor, and its memory can be expanded up to 2GB RAM. It supports analog and digital input and output signals such as 0 – 20mA and 4 – 20mA.
    • Physical Dimensions and Weight: The module has dimensions of approximately 20cm × 10cm × 5cm and weighs about 2kg. It adopts a compact design that matches the installation dimensions of the 3500 series standard rack.
    • Environmental Adaptability: Its operating and storage temperature range is from – 40°C to + 85°C. It has an IP65 protection rating, which can effectively prevent the intrusion of dust and water and adapt to various harsh industrial working conditions.
    • Sampling and Storage Performance: The maximum data sampling rate reaches 24kHz, and its storage capacity can hold more than 1 million data points, which can fully meet the requirements of long – term continuous data collection and storage for industrial equipment.
  • Function Features
    • Efficient Cross – System Communication: It can realize smooth data interaction between upper – level devices like computers and operator workstations on the Local Control Network or Data Hiway and the Tricon controller. It also has the same functional capacity as up to four extended Data Hiway Port addresses, which significantly enhances the system’s communication expansion capability.
    • Hot – Standby and Hot – Swap Support: Though it is not a triple modular redundancy module, it fully supports the hot – standby function. The hot – swap design allows maintenance personnel to replace faulty modules online without shutting down the entire monitoring system, greatly reducing maintenance downtime.
    • Diversified Sensor Compatibility: It has configurable I/O channels and can be connected with various sensors including 2 – wire/3 – wire accelerometers, velocity sensors, proximity sensors, thermocouples of E/J/K/T types and RTD temperature sensors, adapting to different mechanical parameter monitoring needs.
    • Intuitive Status Monitoring: The front panel is equipped with status indicators that display module passing, fault and active states respectively. These indicators enable on – site technicians to quickly and accurately judge the module’s operating condition without complex detection instruments.
    • Convenient Configuration and Management: It can complete parameter configuration, relay contact programming and Modbus gateway register mapping through 1900 configuration software. It also supports display and keyboard expansion, facilitating on – site personnel to view channel information and perform real – time configuration adjustments.
  • Application Scenarios
    • Power Generation Industry: It is widely used in thermal power, hydropower and nuclear power plants. It is matched with the 3500 series system to monitor the vibration and temperature status of key equipment such as steam turbines and generators. It ensures the smooth transmission of equipment operation data to the central control system and prevents serious faults caused by bearing wear and misalignment.
    • Oil and Gas Industry: It is deployed in offshore drilling platforms and on – shore refineries. It is used for data communication and monitoring of drilling machinery, oil transfer pumps and other equipment. Its IP65 protection level and stable communication performance ensure safe operation even in explosive and high – humidity marine and oilfield environments.
    • Chemical and Metallurgical Industry: It is installed in chemical reactors, metallurgical rolling mills and mixer equipment. It monitors the vibration and pressure parameters of equipment working under high temperature and high pressure conditions. It triggers alarms or shutdown signals in a timely manner when abnormal data is detected, avoiding safety accidents such as material leakage and equipment damage.
    • Aerospace Field: It is applied to the state monitoring systems of aircraft engines and transmission systems. It collects and transmits key mechanical operation data efficiently and stably, providing reliable data support for the fault diagnosis and maintenance of aerospace equipment.
    • General Manufacturing Industry: It is integrated into the production lines of large machine tools and air compressors. It communicates with the factory’s SCADA system to realize real – time monitoring of production equipment. It helps enterprises carry out predictive maintenance, reduces unexpected downtime of production lines and improves overall production efficiency.
