Bently Nevada ORBIT 60 SERIES System Overview

Overview

The Orbit 60 Series Protection and Condition Monitoring System provides a single platform for the

continuous online monitoring of both critical and plant-wide applications. The Orbit 60 Series system

is deployable in any combination of rackmounted and distributed hardware, with Bridge modules

creating a seamless connection between chassis to make a single system.

The table below gives a general overview of the components that make the Orbit 60 platform.

One System Interface Module (SIM) defines a system of up to 88 dynamic channels*,

accommodating multiple machine trains and supporting unrestricted synchronous Keyphasors for

any channel. The Condition Monitoring Module (CMM) interfaces to the business network through a

cyber-secure access port. The Communications Gateway (CGW) sends(data, status, setpoints) and

receives(inhibit, reset, trip multiply)* high speed process data with the control systems. Bridged

(BRG) connections allow up to 3 chassis to act as a single system while decreasing overall

installation costs, reducing ground loops, and minimizing electrical noise.

Orbit 60 Series Chassis

You can flexibly deploy each chassis option with a public facing side (for rack or panel mounts) and a

utility side (for wiring connections and bulkhead mounts). Insert modules and make all wiring

connections from the utility side. Provisions for the public side of the chassis include status LEDs,

configuration port, Config/Run key, and reset button. Three chassis types are available.

Mounting Options

l Panel Mount – Mounts to rectangular cutouts in panels and secures to the panel using clamps

supplied with the chassis in  3U Mini*, 3U 19" standard, and 6U 19" standard* configurations. The

6U 19" will fit in the space of a 3500 rack.*

l Rackmount – Mounts the 3U or 6U  chassis on 19-inch EIA rails. Two 3U units or a single 6U* form

factor have been designed to fit within the space of a single 19” rackmount 3500 unit, as a

retrofit.

l Bulkhead - Typically mounts into a protective enclosure fastened to a sub panel in 3U Mini*, 3U

19" standard, and 6U 19" standard* configurations.  NEMA 4 and 4X weatherproof housings are

available when required for environmental protection or when purge air is used.
