Orbit 60 Series Machinery protection and condition monitoring system

Protection never looked so good Say hello to Orbit 60. The most advanced machinery protection system we have ever offered, built on 60 years of domain expertise that many strive to emulate, but none can duplicate. Orbit 60 is more than just protection—it’s also condition monitoring done in a way that’s integrated yet cybersecure. Use Orbit 60 for protection alone, for condition monitoring alone, or both. The choice is yours with Orbit 60.

Leaders aren’t born. They’re built. The Bently Nevada name is synonymous with the entire industry of vibration, machinery protection, and condition monitoring. That association isn’t lost on us. We’re proud to have been a pioneer in this industry—from our humble beginnings in a Berkeley, California garage—to our present world‑class capabilities spanning the entire globe. In the intervening 60+ years, we’ve learned what works through five successful generations of full‑featured, machinery protection platforms culminating in Orbit 60—our new flagship for continuous machinery protection and...

You spoke. We listened. Orbit 60 is not just the result of 60 years of know-how. It’s the result of more than 200 focused customer engagements where we asked you directly what you needed in a new platform. You told us clearly your three biggest requirements: Orbit conneX Publish alarm, event, and overall values • A cybersecure solution for both machinery protection and condition monitoring. A solution that satisfied the needs of not just machinery engineers, but the OT and IT worlds in which data must move and Retrieve high-speed process data • A reduction in installation costs by using...

Completely flexible Orbit Xtend Flexible deployments The 6U “double height” form factor holds more channels than 3500 but fits in the same size cutout In the age-old debate of centralized versus distributed architectures, we did something profoundly simple: an architecture that delivers both. Prior generations of monitoring systems limited a “rack” to a single, physical chassis. Not with Orbit 60. Our Xtend™ technology allows you to connect multiple chassis with a virtual, digital backplane using copper or fiber*. It’s fast. It’s secure. And it’s flexible. The result is that Orbit 60 can be...

Ultra-secure Orbit aXess Customers told us loud and clear that today’s number one priority is cybersecurity. They needed an architecture that was SIL-capable for machinery protection, yet fully segregated from the condition monitoring environment so that one does not interfere with the other. One way to do this is with entirely separate platforms—one for condition monitoring and one for protection—but that would take the industry backwards in time nearly 25 years to an era of stand-alone condition monitoring boxes connected to protection racks. Surely there had to be a better way. There is....

Totally connected Orbit conneX We’ve always been connected, but never like this. In the 1960s and 70s, monitor connections to the process control world consisted of recorder outputs and relays. In the 1980s, digital communications emerged with protocols such as Modbus, allowing a single cable to carry all those signals. As new protocols and physical media emerged over the next 3 decades, things improved, but there was a catch: one interface was used to move data from the monitoring system to the process control system or historian, and an entirely separate interface was used to move process...

Capably equipped 1. Global Div 2/Zone 2 hazardous area approvals 2. Physical keylock security • Fully programmable relay logic 3. Ethernet port (1 public, 2 utility) for use by config SW and external displays 8. Buffered outputs and status LEDs on both utility and public sides 4. Protection processing module (PPM) 9. Integral display options* • One PPM typically supports 80 dynamic and hundreds of static points • Supports multiple PPMs for larger channel counts, redundancy, and API 670 and/or SIL-2 compliance • Can be used without PPM(s) for condition monitoring‑only applications 5....

Modularly designed We meet the API 670 requirement that a single module failure may only impact 4 dynamic channels or 6 static channels. Orbit 60 has also removed the channel pair requirements making it easy to configure X and Y sensors on separate modules. Redundant Protection Processor Modules (PPMs) are required to ensure a failure of the PPM itself will have no impact on any channels. Condition monitoring isn’t an afterthought in Orbit 60. In fact, it’s such an integral part of the architecture that you can use Orbit 60 for condition monitoring alone if desired—without a protection...

Perfectly paired Let’s face it—no matter how good a protection system might be, deficiencies in the condition monitoring capabilities and the relative pain or ease of configuring the system can be more than just inconvenient—they can be show-stoppers. With Orbit 60, you don’t have to expend so much as a single second worrying about either. Both are world-class—just like Orbit 60. Configuration with Orbit Studio Condition monitoring with System 1 We launched System 1 in 2000 and more than two decades later, it’s better than ever. After all, we’ve invested more than 5 million developer hours...

Globally certified Selecting the right system for protecting and managing your machinery shouldn’t represent a compromise when it comes to approvals. Our broad portfolio of products allows you to apply the right product with the confidence that it has the right approvals, wherever you might be located. Orbit 60 continues our commitment to globally certified products by addressing not just hazardous areas and general electrical safety, but also functional safety, cybersecurity, and environmental standards—not to mention numerous industrial standards from IEEE, API, ISO, ABS, and many others....
