Description
Overview
The 3500/01-01 from Bently Nevada is a configuration software package and system manual designed for the Bently Nevada 3500 machinery protection and condition monitoring platform. It is used during system commissioning, expansion, and maintenance to define rack architecture, module assignments, and alarm logic settings.
Unlike measurement modules, this product does not perform signal acquisition or vibration analysis. Instead, it provides the engineering environment required to configure and manage the 3500 monitoring rack.
