Functional Features

Independent Programming and Voting Logic:
Each relay channel can be programmed independently to execute logical functions such as AND, OR, and other combinational logics, allowing adaptation to diverse control and interlock requirements.

Alarm Driver Logic:
Built-in alarm driver logic supports input from any monitor channel or combination within the 3500 framework.

• Logic configuration is achieved through 3500 Configuration Software

• Supports custom alarm thresholds, time delays, and composite logic for precise alarm management

Signal Synthesis and Control:
Capable of accepting multiple control signal inputs, performing logical synthesis, and outputting pre-defined control responses. Ideal for integrated signal processing and coordinated control scenarios.

Typical Applications

1. Equipment Protection and Control:
Used in vibration monitoring and protection systems for rotating machinery (e.g., turbines, compressors, fans), where relay outputs trigger alarms or shutdowns during abnormal conditions.

2. Signal Amplification and Conversion:
Functions as an interface to amplify low-level control signals for driving high-power devices such as solenoid valves, contactors, or motor starters.

3. Multi-Device Coordinated Control:
Supports simultaneous, independent control of multiple devices or subsystems via its 16-channel design, enhancing system automation and operational efficiency.
