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.
