Bently Nevada ORBIT 60 SERIES Process Variable and Discrete Input Module

Description

The Orbit 60 Series Isolated Process Variable and Discrete

(PVD) Input module processes machine-critical parameters

such as pressure, flow, temperature, and levels that merit

continuous monitoring. The module conditions and digitizes

the signals so the result can be compared with user

programmable alarm setpoints. The user can program the

PVD module using the Orbit Configuration software to

perform current, voltage or discrete input measurements.

This module provides discrete inputs for essential operational

commands, such as Trip Multiply for machine start-up and

Alarm Inhibit.

The monitor accepts +4 to +20 mA current inputs or any

proportional voltage inputs between -10 Vdc and +10 Vdc, in

addition to monitoring “dry” or “wet” contacts which can be a

sensor, switch, or relay.

Primary purposes of the PVD Module:

• Continuously process input from monitored

parameters to be compared against configured alarm

setpoints to drive alarms for machinery protection.

• Allow provision of essential machine information, such

as Trip Multiply for machine startup and Alarm Inhibit

for both operations and maintenance personnel.

These modules occupy a single slot. The module OK LEDs

indicate proper functioning and the LINK LEDs indicate good

system communication. Six Channel Status LEDs on the utility

side of the module indicate a connected sensor in OK condition.
