The Bently Nevada 3500/20 125744‑02 is a Rack Interface Module (RIM) for the 3500 machinery protection system. It functions as the communication gateway of the rack, handling configuration, diagnostics, and external communication. The 135031‑01 is a companion I/O (input/output) module for the RIM, providing extended interface capabilities — e.g. modem interface, digital/analog I/O, and external connection to host systems.
When used together, the 125744‑02 (RIM) and 135031‑01 (I/O Module) combination forms the backbone of the rack’s external communications and control interface. The RIM must reside in slot 1 of the rack, while the I/O module occupies an associated rear slot to provide communication and signaling services.
Below are consolidated known or commonly cited specifications for 125744‑02 and 135031‑01. Some values are from product listings and may vary slightly depending on revision or firmware.

Notes:
The RIM module (125744‑02) is full height / front slot module, with a large footprint in depth.
The I/O module 135031‑01 is shorter in depth (99.1 mm) and lighter.
Communication modes include RS‑232, RS‑422, modem interface, and rack bus.
Environmental specs (temperature, humidity) apply to industrial settings.
Central Communication Hub: The RIM centralizes all rack communications to external systems (host PCs, DCS, data loggers).
Protocol Support & Flexibility: Supports Bently proprietary protocol, Hayes‑compatible modem protocols, RS‑232/RS‑422 modes, enabling flexible connectivity.
High Data Reliability: The RIM ensures data integrity and fault management; supports fault relays to indicate rack health.
Modular & Expandable: With the companion 135031‑01 I/O module, it extends external interface capability without modifying core monitoring modules.
Redundancy / Diagnostics Support: In triple modular redundant (TMR) configurations, the RIM can compare channels and flag anomalies.
Compact Yet Robust: Despite the high functionality, it remains built to the rack module standard and tolerates industrial temperature and humidity.
Low Power Draw: Typical power consumption under 5 W helps reduce thermal load in racks.
Field Serviceability: Modules can be swapped or upgraded with minimal downtime.
Process and power plants where machinery condition monitoring racks need communication with control systems.
Industrial facilities with remote diagnostics needs, where the I/O module provides modem or external data link.
Situations requiring interface to SCADA, DCS, or plant historians.
Systems needing fault signaling, remote reset, or trouble reporting from the rack to external systems.
Configuration and calibration of rack modules via external host links.
