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.

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.

Plant-wide • One System

The Orbit 60 Series Protection and Condition Monitoring

System provides one continuous, online monitoring

system for both critical and plant-wide applications.

Orbit 60 Series data isolation creates a safe industrial

data environment designed to meet  ISA 62443 with world

class network security features and segregation of

protection and condition monitoring functions.

Modular • Flexible • Scalable

The Orbit 60 Series system is deployable in any

combination of rackmounted and distributed hardware.

This provides for better alignment of  instrumentation to

the machinery application.

High Speed Process Data Integration

Next generation architecture facilitates full bi-directional

communications with plant control systems over a suite of

standard protocols.

Extended Field Wiring Length

With the Orbit 60 Series distributed architecture,

connection of multiple chassis through Bridge modules

decreases overall electrical installation costs, reduces

analog ground loops and noise issues, and moves key

maintenance activities further from hazardous areas.

Industry Leading System Capabilities

The Orbit 60 Series supports monitoring of one or multiple

machine trains in a single deployment. One System

Interface Module (SIM) defines each system and can

encompass up to 88 dynamic channels and 4 chassis*

using Bridge modules to link them.

Next-generation condition monitoring, asset protection,

and data integration for all rotating machinery in any industry

The Orbit 60 Series is Bently Nevada’s most advanced condition monitoring

and protection system that will help you make smarter decisions faster—

and accelerate your journey to digital transformation.

It collects and processes data on the edge at high speed

—equipping operators with the right analytics

and machine‑health information needed to optimize performance and maintenance.

Robust cybersecurity

The Orbit 60 Series is the first intrinsically cybersecure vibration

monitoring system with a built‑in data diode—creating a safe industrial

environment for data processing. It’s designed to ISA 62443 Cybersecurity Standard.

Enhanced analytics

The system has 100x higher signal processing power than the industry

standard. It offers best‑in‑class data resolution across all machine

types, and seamlessly connects to System 1 software for advanced data

analysis—delivering highly accurate machine‑health information at the speed you need.

Scalability and flexibility

The architecture can support up to 65 dynamic data channels per

rack (versus industry average of 50), so you can monitor more

machinery with less effort and lower capital expenditure. With scalable

architecture, a modular remote I/O system, and the ability to connect

to third‑party systems—the Orbit 60 Series can cover a wide range of

assets, from critical machinery to balance of plant—making it the

ideal platform for future expansions.

It’s also the only turbomachinery monitoring system that can be

distributed or rack‑based, which maximizes your installation and operating flexibility.

The unit is exponentially more efficient: 50% smaller than industry

standard, so it optimizes space and reduces associated costs

for installation, operations, and maintenance—across a wide range

of industries including oil and gas, power generation, renewables, and industrial.

Continuity

The Orbit 60 Series performs high‑resolution offline data storage

for incidents—ensuring continued access to data even during a

network interruption. It has SIL 2 Certification for confidence through redundancy measures.

Description

The 2300 Vibration Monitors provide cost-effective continuous

vibration monitoring and protection capabilities for small and

spared machinery. They are specifically designed to

continuously monitor and protect essential balance-of-plant

equipment assets in a wide range of industries, including: oil &

gas, power generation, water treatment, pulp & paper,

manufacturing, mining, cement, and a wide range of

equipment in other industries.

The 2300 Vibration Monitors deliver vibration monitoring and

high vibration level alarming. They include two channels of

vibration measurement inputs from various accelerometer-

and proximitor- type sensors, a speed input channel, and

outputs for relay contacts. Any channel may be used for

process parameter sensor inputs. The 2300/20 monitors

feature a configurable 4-20 mA output, as well as Modbus/

TCP, which interfaces more points to a DCS. The 2300/25

monitor features System 1* connectivity for Trendmaster SPA

interface configuration, which enables users to leverage

existing DSM SPA infrastructure. Envelop acceleration

demodulation is also supported for advanced rolling element

bearing and gear diagnostics.

The 2300 Vibration Monitors are designed for use on a broad

range of machine trains or individual casings where the

sensor point count fits the monitor’s channel count and

where advanced signal processing is desired.

The 2300 Vibration Monitors provide very low cost condition

monitoring and protection capability on small machinery. The

monitors can be used with proximity sensing to be used on

fluid film bearing machines and velomitor sensing to

monitor slow speed machines.
