3500/34 TMR Relay Module (Bently Nevada)

Product Description The 3500/34 is a TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) relay output module for the 3500 Machinery Protection System. It provides 6 independent, fault‑tolerant relay outputs (form C) for alarm and shutdown signaling, critical for safety‑critical rotating machinery. It uses 2‑out‑of‑3 voting logic to eliminate single‑point failure risks.

Core Functions

TMR Fault Tolerance: Three independent processing paths per relay; 2‑out‑of‑3 voting ensures valid output even with one channel fault.

6‑Channel Isolated Relays: Map any alarm/danger from monitors to relays for DCS/PLC trip interlocks.

Fail‑Safe Operation: Relays de‑energize on fault/power loss (safe state for shutdowns).

Diagnostics & Bypass: Self‑check, relay coil monitoring, and channel bypass for maintenance.

High‑Speed Switching: <25 ms response for fast machine protection.

Applications

Power Generation: Steam/gas turbine emergency shutdown (ESD), generator trip, BFP protection.

Oil & Gas: Centrifugal compressor anti‑surge, high‑speed trip, process safety interlocks.

Heavy Industry: Critical motor, gearbox, and fan vibration trip systems.

Safety‑Critical TSI: SIL 3‑rated turbine supervisory instrumentation for high‑integrity plants.

Redundant Protection: Any rotating machinery requiring zero single‑point failure in alarm/shutdown paths.
