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.

Cyber Secure • Data Isolation

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.

System Components

This section describes the individual components that make up a complete 3500 system.

Instrument Rack

The standard 3500 Rack is available in 19” EIA rail-mount, panel-cutout-mount, and bulkhead-mount

versions.

The rack provides slots for two Power Supplies and a TDI in the left-most rack positions

that are reserved exclusively for these modules. The remaining 14 slots in the rack can

accommodate any combination of monitor, display, relay, Keyphasor module, and communication

gateway modules.

All modules plug into the rack’s backplane and consist of a main module and an associated I/O module.

The I/O module installs at the rear of the rack for panel-mount systems, and above the main module for

bulkhead-mount systems.

Standard rack depth is 349 mm (13.75 inches), while bulkhead mount rack depth is 267 mm (10.5 inches).

NEMA 4 and 4X weatherproof housings are available when required for environmental protection or

when purge air is used.

Mini Rack

A mini rack (12” wide instead of 19”) is also available and features 7 available monitor slots instead of 14.

Like its larger counterpart, the left-most slots are reserved for the Power Supply or Supplies and TDI

Module.

The mini rack may be mounted in a panel cutout or, using an optional adapter plate, on 19” EIA mounting

rails.

Bulkhead mounting is not available.
