Bently Nevada ORBIT 60 SERIES Recorder Output Module

Description

The recorder output module is a 8-channel single slot width

module that provides an analog output signal based on a

processed measurement from any of the proportional

measurements within  the system. The output of the recorder

output channel is proportional to the associated

measurement value within the measurement's full scale range.

The recorder output module is software-selectable to

operate in several output modes, providing the following

analog output signal ranges:

• 4 to 20 mA

• 1 to 5 V

• 0 to 10 V

When configured for a 4-20 mA output, the recorder channel

supports the extended output range of 3.8 mA to 20.5 mA to

align with the NAMUR NE43 standard.

These differing signal ranges can accommodate

connections to various interfacing equipment designed to

consume and interpret the proportional analog signals.

The recorder output module provides analog outputs for any

proportional signal measurements available within the Orbit

60 system including the following examples:

• Processed Vibration measurements (Direct, 1X

Amplitude, 1X Phase, etc.)

• Temperature measurements

• Position measurements

The recorder output channels' configuration includes several

options for clamp output levels, providing an indication of an

invalid health status of the associated measurement. The

system will also attempt to output the configured clamp

signal when any fault within the Recorder

Output channel or output load is detected.

The configuration also includes the option to

include Recorder Output channels within the

protection path so that detected faults within

the Recorder module or wiring can be

annunciated through Protection Fault relays.

details when using the Recorder Output

channels in a SIL application.)
