3500/33 16-Channel Relay Module (Bently Nevada)

Product Description The 3500/33 is a full‑height, 16‑channel relay output module for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It provides sixteen independent SPDT relay outputs for high‑density alarm and shutdown control. It installs in any slot to the right of the TDI/interface module and supports complex AND/OR/voting/latching logic using any Alert, Danger, or Not OK status from the rack.
