Description

60M18 (PVD) is a 4-channel input module in the Orbit 60 lineup for 4–20 mA analog process signals and discrete (contact) signals. The module lets you bring not only vibration parameters into the monitoring system but also process values — pressure, process temperature, flow — as well as logical events via dry contacts.

The module installs into an Orbit 60 Series chassis (3U/6U) and works alongside the chassis's control and power modules — 60M01 SIM, 60M02 PPM, and 60M03 CMM. Channel configuration and diagnostics run through Orbit Studio, while trend analysis and data archiving run through System 1.

Where it's used

60M18 is used where process parameters and logical events need to be combined with vibration monitoring data in a single database — at chemical plants, general industrial facilities, and other sectors where the unit already has 4–20 mA sensors and contact-based signaling installed.
