Product Overview

The 3500/94M-04-00-00 is a VGA Display Module from Bently Nevada, designed for industrial monitoring systems. This module provides a 10-inch display with independent mounting, making it suitable for machine condition monitoring and data visualization in harsh environments. It integrates seamlessly with the 3500 series rack systems to deliver real-time status and data values.

Technical Specifications Analysis

The 3500/94M-04-00-00 operates with a max power consumption of 4.6 watts. It includes a high-speed network interface for monitoring status, data, and values, along with an RS232 port for touch controller data. The module features an OK LED for proper operation indication and TX/RX LEDs for communication status. The VGA port outputs analog red, green, blue, and sync signals. The front port provides 24 Vdc power out, VGA signal out, and touch commands in. Environmental limits include an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F), storage temperature of -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), and humidity up to 95% non-condensing. Compliance includes FCC Part 15, EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4, electrical safety standards CSA C22.2 61010-1 and UL EN 61010-1, and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The monitor module requires 1 full-height front slot, and the I/O module requires 1 full-height rear slot. The display size is 10 inches diagonal, with a resistive touch interface. The module weight is 1.07 kg.

Application Scenarios & Usage Methods

This VGA display module is ideal for continuous monitoring of vibration, temperature, and speed data from rotating machinery in power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing plants. Operators can use the 10-inch display to view real-time trends and alarm status directly from the 3500 rack system. The RS232 port enables touch screen calibration and data input, while the VGA port connects to external monitors for expanded viewing. The module supports independent mounting, allowing flexible placement on control panels or desks.

Installation Guide & Packing List

Install the monitor module in a full-height front slot of the 3500 rack, and the I/O module in a full-height rear slot. Ensure the rack is powered off during installation. Connect the VGA cable from the module to the display, and the RS232 cable for touch functionality. The package typically includes the 3500/94M VGA Display Module, I/O module, and mounting hardware. Verify all connections are secure before powering on the system.

Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 3500/94M-04-00-00, confirm compatibility with your existing 3500 rack and TDI module (3500/22 required). The 10-inch display is suitable for space-constrained environments. For hazardous areas, note that the KVM Extender Receiver is approved for Class I, Division 2, but the transmitter must be in a safe area.
