The Orbit 60 Series represents the future of machine asset protection, condition monitoring, and advanced diagnostics. It goes beyond simple protection. Bently Nevada's next-generation machine protection and condition monitoring system is designed to be the most advanced system for all critical machine assets and plant assets across a wide range of industrial applications.
Built-in Cybersecurity and IT/OT Convergence
One of the most significant upgrades of the Orbit 60 is its built-in cybersecurity architecture. This system isolates protection functions from the plant and enterprise networks while still enabling secure, high-resolution data sharing. With API 670 SIL-certified protection and high-speed bidirectional data integration, the Orbit 60 connects operational technology and IT systems. This unified data environment allows operators to integrate machine, process, and control data, improving visibility, reliability, and decision-making accuracy throughout the plant.
A highly scalable distributed architecture reduces installation complexity and lifecycle costs
The Orbit 60 employs a modular, distributed hardware design, reducing installation complexity and lifecycle costs. Its bridging modules efficiently connect multiple racks, minimizing field cabling and mitigating grounding and noise issues. A single system interface module can support up to 80 dynamic channels, significantly improving scalability and system capacity. Open communication protocols further simplify integration with the control and monitoring ecosystem, enabling plant-wide asset management and smarter maintenance strategies. The Orbit 60 series is based on a fully distributed architecture, allowing you to monitor all assets, regardless of their complexity or location, and features built-in network security capabilities.
Reliable spare parts and controllers are essential for maintaining optimal system performance and minimizing downtime. Moore Automated’s high-quality components ensure seamless integration, precise control, and extended equipment life, enabling industries to maintain productivity and operational efficiency in harsh environments.
Orbit 60 employs a modular, distributed architecture, offering increased flexibility and scalability compared to traditional systems. It complies with the API 670 standard, supports advanced edge processing, and features enhanced cybersecurity. Furthermore, it integrates more easily with digital systems such as SCADA and DCS, making it suitable for modern smart factories.
