DESCRIPTION

The 3500/33 16-Channel Relay Module is a full-height module that provides 16 relay outputs.

You can place any number of 16-channel relay modules in any of the slots on the right side of the Transient Data Interface (TDI) module.

Each output of the 3500/33 16-channel relay module can be independently programmed to perform voting logic.

Each relay of the module contains alarm drive logic.

The alarm drive logic is programmed using AND and OR logic and the following are available:

Alarm inputs (alarms and hazardous states)

Uncertainty states

Individual measurement variables from any monitor channel or any www.ge-drive.com combination of monitor channels in the rack

You can program the alarm driver using the 3500 rack configuration software.

Ordering Considerations

The 3500/33 16-Channel Relay Module requires 3500 Rack Config version 3.3 or higher.

3500/33 requires 3500 Data Acquisition Software version 2.40 or later.

3500/33 16-channel relay modules require 3500 Data Display Software version 1.40 or higher.

If ordered with the Multiple Certification option (02), the 3500 monitor will be certified to Zone 2 standards, including ATEX and North American.

The Zone 2 standard specifies higher spacing requirements at higher voltages. 3500/33 16-channel relay modules do not meet these spacing requirements.

Therefore, modules with the multiple certification option can only be used at lower voltages than modules with other certification options.

The use of higher voltages violates the hazardous area certificates associated with the multiple certification options.

The North American Division 2 standard associated with the CSA certification only option (-01) has been reduced to 30 Vrms to comply with 61010-1 type test requirements.

If the 3500/3316 Channel Relay Module is part of a Functional Safety (SIL) system, the Functional Safety Certificate requires voltage limitation.

The Functional Safety Certificate requires voltage limiting. Higher voltages are not permitted for Functional Safety (SIL) systems.
