Bentley Nevada 136188-01 Ethernet/RS232 Modbus Gateway Module
The
Bentley Nevada 136188-01 is a high-performance
communication gateway module designed for the
3500 Series Machinery Protection System, enabling seamless integration of rotating equipment health data into industrial automation networks. It supports real-time monitoring of critical parameters like vibration, displacement, and speed, while offering advanced communication capabilities (Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and Bentley’s proprietary protocol) to interface with PLCs, SCADA systems, and cloud platforms. With dual Ethernet ports and rugged construction, this module ensures reliable operation in harsh environments such as power plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities.

- Multi-Protocol Flexibility: Bridges Modbus and Bentley’s native protocol for versatile system integration, reducing the need for additional converters.
- Dual Ethernet Redundancy: Failover protection ensures continuous data flow in mission-critical applications.
- Real-Time Data Transmission: Transmits vibration and displacement data at high speeds (≤10 ms latency) for predictive maintenance.
- Remote Management: Web-based interface and System 1™ software enable remote configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: EMI/EMC protection and rugged housing withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations.
Industries:
- Power generation (gas/steam turbines)
- Oil and gas (pumps, compressors)
- Manufacturing (rotating machinery)
Case Study:
A U.S. petrochemical plant deployed the 136188-01 to integrate compressor health data into their SCADA system. By analyzing real-time vibration trends, operators detected a bearing fault early, avoiding a $200,000 breakdown and reducing downtime by 30%.
The 136188-01 outperforms standard gateway modules with:
- Simultaneous Protocol Support: Handles Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and Bentley’s protocol in a single unit.
- Faster Data Throughput: 10 Mbps Ethernet connectivity vs. typical 1 Mbps limits.
- Built-in Redundancy: Dual Ethernet ports eliminate single points of failure.

- System Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with the 3500 Rack and System 1™ software.
- Protocol Requirements: Choose this module if your system requires multi-protocol integration.
- Redundancy Needs: Opt for dual modules in applications requiring 100% uptime.
- Network Security: Secure Ethernet ports with firewalls to prevent unauthorized access.
- Grounding: Use shielded cables and proper grounding to minimize signal interference.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly update firmware via Bentley’s System 1™ software for optimal performance.
