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 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.

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.

Description

TC/RTD Temperature Module

The primary purpose of temperature modules is to interface

to the temperature transducers and convert the signal into a

digital representation. These modules condition and digitize

the inputs  at a rate that completely encompasses the signal

content and allows for removal of typical noise sources.

The Orbit 60 Series TC/RTD Temperature Input Modules

provide six channels of either Thermocouple (TC) or Resistive

Temperature Detector (RTD) temperature input sensors.

Each channel of the Orbit 60 Series TC/RTD input module is

individually configurable for sensor type and range using

Orbit Studio configuration software.

The RTD/TC inputs reference the internal system ground, and

for this reason, should only connect to transducers isolated at

the sensing end.

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.

Sensor Types

TC sensors – The thermocouple configured channels provide

cold junction compensation for any J, K, E, or T Type

Thermocouple.

RTD sensors – The RTD configured channels can be

connected to the following:

• 3-Wire 100 Ohm Platinum 0.00392 RTD

• 3-Wire 100 Ohm Platinum 0.00385 RTD

• 3-Wire 10 Ohm Copper RTD

• 3-Wire 120 Ohm Nickel RTD

Description

The Orbit 60 Series AC LVDT Input Module provides inputs to

interface with four AC Linear Variable Differential Transformers

for position measurements. The module’s primary use is the

measurement of case expansion and valve position. The AC

LVDT input module occupies a single slot.

The four AC LVDT configured channels can connect to a:

• 5-wire AC LVDT

• 6-wire AC LVDT

Note: To configure the 6-wire, 3 and 4 pins are shorted together.

The module’s OK LED indicates when the module is

functioning properly, and the LINK LED indicate when the

module is communicating to the rest of the system. Four

channel status LEDs, located on the utility side of the module,

indicate that each AC LVDT sensor is connected and functioning properly.

SIL 2

The 2-wire input connection provides a

galvanically isolated, hi-impedance input

which primarily supports magnetic pick-up

speed sensors. The isolated input eliminates

potential ground loops that can occur when

speed sensors are shared between the

vibration system and other instrumentation.

The Keyphasor Input Module provides a

buffered transducer output for each channel.

Within Orbit Studio software, each output can

be configured within Orbit Studio Software to be

either a true analog signal representative of the

input or a conditioned/processed digital TTL

signal replicating machine speed and

maintaining phase with the input signal.

The Keyphasor Input Module can accept a

recip multi-event wheel signal, which is used to

track shaft rotation more precisely during a

revolution. This 13 tooth gear has a unique tooth

used to indicate the crank angle reference for

specific recip measurements.

The module supports backup speed source

functionality. When configured, if the primary

speed source enters an invalid state, a backup

speed channel will be utilized to provide a

speed reference for configured synchronous

measurements. Compensations for differences

in shaft speed and phase reference timings

can be configured to maintain measurement

accuracy upon transitioning to backup speed sources.

The module OK LED indicates when the module

is functioning properly, and the LINK LED

indicates when the module is communicating

to the rest of the system. Four Channel Status

LEDs located on the utility side of the module

indicate a connected sensor is installed and in

OK condition.

The Keyphasor Input Module works with the following transducers:

• Magnetic pickup

• 3-wire Prox

• 3-wire Accel

The module senses the Keyphasor signal when

the sensor reads a notch or protrusion in the

target, then digitizes and processes the signal

to provide machine rotative speed and the

phase reference for vector parameters, such as

1X amplitude and phase. The Keyphasor gives

phase reference information for vibration

measurements, providing key relationships for

diagnostic analysis. It also provides

speed/phase reference for the synchronously

sampled waveforms captured by the Condition

Monitoring Module.

The 2-wire input connection provides a

galvanically isolated, hi-impedance input

which primarily supports magnetic pick-up

speed sensors. The isolated input eliminates

potential ground loops that can occur when

speed sensors are shared between the

vibration system and other instrumentation.

The Keyphasor Input Module provides a

buffered transducer output for each channel.

Within Orbit Studio software, each output can

be configured within Orbit Studio Software to be

either a true analog signal representative of the

input or a conditioned/processed digital TTL

signal replicating machine speed and

maintaining phase with the input signal.

Although the system allows the user to configure

channels on the Keyphasor Input Module to serve

as non-speed input types as described above,

there will be a decrease in accuracy on these

measurements when compared to PAV, PAS, PAA,

PAD, and PVT modules. The accuracy is decreased

from 1% of Full Scale Range to 2% of Full Scale Range

on all 3-wire (non-speed) connections from 0 to

40 kHz. These non-speed inputs also cannot be

utilized in SIL applications. The Keyphasor Input

Module can only be utilized in SIL applications when

configured for speed inputs.

Any channel on the module can be configured as a once

per-turn Keyphasor or a multiple-event-per-turn speed

signal from a rotating shaft or gear used to provide a

precision timing measurement. The Keyphasor Input Module

Speed Channels can be configured to support Recip Multi

Event Wheel speed signals.

Description

The Power Input Modules (PIM) always reside in a special

purposed slot located in the first slot of the chassis. This slot

accommodates two PIMs for redundancy.  At least one PIM

must power every chassis, and every chassis requires its own

PIMs and power sources. Redundant PIMs and power sources

are strongly recommended.

The PIM is a half-height module that connects an external

power source to the system. Each Orbit 60 Series chassis

supports two stacked redundant power input modules.

Failure of one power source does not affect the operation if

the system uses both power inputs. The PIM employs out-of

range protection for miswiring, overvoltage, and overcurrent

protection for the input power sources.

The PIMs support input voltages ranging from +21 Vdc to +32 Vdc.

The most common power source comes from external DIN rail mounted

AC/DC +24 Vdc output power supplies.

The Instrument Common(IS) and Protective Earth connections for the

system are made at the utility side of the PIM.
