What Is SCADA? Supervisory Control Without Replacing the PLC
SCADA sits above PLCs and RTUs: it acquires field data, alarms operators, and issues supervisory commands across plants and remote assets—without replacing local deterministic control.

Designed for continuous machinery protection, the Bently Nevada 3500/61-01-00 processes temperature inputs from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples (TCs). This six-channel module continuously compares these temperature inputs against user-defined alarm setpoints to protect critical industrial machinery from thermal damage. The 3500/61-01-00 variant is configured with non-isolated RTD/TC I/O modules utilizing internal terminations, providing clean, direct wiring connections within the rack enclosure.
In addition to active alarm monitoring, this module provides dedicated analog recorder outputs for each of its six channels. These recorder outputs provide proportional continuous signals to external control systems, such as Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), or strip chart recorders, ensuring seamless historical data logging and process visualization.
