Capability at the EDGE
Distributed Condition Monitoringwith Orbit DCM

The right fit

Route-based monitoring with portables has it’s place, but for yourcomplex higher-criticality machines, monthly measurements may simply
not be adequate. Wireless sensors offer more frequent data collection,
but they too have their limits. The inevitable compromises between size,battery-life, wireless range and processing can leave these important
machines without the continuous condition monitoring they need.
Of course you could step up to a continuous protection system, as these
too support condition monitoring. But such an API 670 compliant platform
is likely to be an over-kill in terms of both infrastructure and cost.

Protection + CM

This is why we developed Orbit DCM. For your important assets with rapid failure modes,
substantial process impacts and interactions, and sophisticated mechanical assemblies.
We know that conditions can degrade quickly, processes can change suddenly, andcomplex vibrations from numerous components can combine to make diagnosis difficult
without advanced sampling and signal processing capabilities. Orbit DCM has all of thiscovered. Cost effectively.

Wiring costs are the single most expensive
part of any installation

Orbit DCM (Distributed Condition Monitoring) is distributed. It’s engineered
to be mounted at the machine where wiring runs to sensors can be kept
short, saving costs.

Capturing the unexpected
Machinery events rarely happen when you’re watching. That’s why Orbit DCM has an embedded“flight recorder” capable of storing high-resolution snapshots of the event—before, during, andafter—allowing you to reconstruct not just what happened, but why.

No machine left behindWhile Orbit DCM can easily
address all common machines,
it’s also designed to fully
address your most challenging
machines and their uniquemonitoring requirements.
