Product Introduction: 3500/72M 135489-01
The 3500/72M 135489-01 is a TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) Relay Module for the Bently Nevada 3500 Machinery Protection System. This module is a critical safety component designed to provide the highest level of reliability for machinery shutdown functions. It incorporates three independent voting circuits per channel that monitor the system and actuate shutdown relays. The "TMR" architecture ensures that a single failure within the module itself does not cause a spurious (false) trip of the machinery, while still guaranteeing a trip if a genuine dangerous condition occurs. It is the preferred choice for applications where maximizing asset availability and preventing unnecessary downtime are paramount.
Technical Parameters
The key technical parameters for the 3500/72M 135489-01 module are summarized in the table below.

| Key Features | • Prevents spurious trips • Ensures trip on demand • Relay status indicators • Hot-swappable (in a redundant configuration) |
Note: The dimensions and weight are standard for a module in a 3500 series frame. Always verify the specific contact ratings and safety certifications in the official product manual for your application.
Application Scenarios
The 3500/72M TMR Relay Module is deployed in the most critical applications where both safety and operational availability are essential. Its primary application is to execute the final shutdown command for machinery.
Critical Turbomachinery Protection: Acting as the final shutdown relay for gas turbines, steam turbines, and large compressors in power plants and oil & gas facilities.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): Serving as the logic solver or final element in safety loops for process industries (e.g., chemical, petrochemical).
High-Availability Applications: Any process where a false trip results in extremely high production losses or operational risks.
Machinery Requiring SIL Rating: Systems that need to comply with Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 or SIL 3 standards as per IEC 61508/61511.
This module is essential for protecting multi-million dollar assets and ensuring process safety while minimizing disruptive and costly false shutdowns.
