Functional Characteristics

The 3500/05 chassis supports a wide variety of vibration and position monitoring modules. Because it uses a modular design, users can easily scale the system. The backplane utilizes a patented design to prevent signal interference between adjacent channels. Consequently, this architecture maintains high data integrity in electrically noisy industrial settings. Each slot provides access to the system-wide communication bus. This allow for seamless integration with external plant control systems.

Engineering Applications

Maintenance teams install this rack in environments requiring continuous machinery protection. It specifically targets high-speed rotating equipment like turbines and compressors. Power plants and refineries rely on this chassis for Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI). The unit remains active and supported within current industrial automation frameworks. It operates reliably under extreme conditions while providing 24/7 diagnostic data. This makes it a standard choice for mission-critical asset management.

Installation and Integration

The rack supports both front and rear mounting configurations for maximum flexibility. Engineers connect the system to Ethernet routers for remote data access. The -02 and -05 options in the part number specify rack size and agency approval requirements. Additionally, the unit features redundant power supply capabilities to prevent single points of failure. This design philosophy ensures uninterrupted monitoring during routine maintenance or power fluctuations.
