Optimized for smaller spaces

Introduction

The compact OrionMX takes on automation applications in smaller distribution substations, on pole tops, and in vaults and unit substations. All connections are on the front face to simplify mounting, 12W output powers radios and other accessories, and it can be expanded to add ports and I/O for any application.

Key Features

All connections and diagnostic LEDs on the front face

Universal mounting: surface, 19” rack, or DIN rail

Hardware options configured in software

OrionOS supported: the same firmware, software options, configuration, and security as all other Orions

Dimensions and Features

Software Configurability

Extensive software configurability enables a single physical OrionMX model to handle a wide range of applications. The following are configurable in software:

The two-port RJ45 Ethernet switch can be configured as two copper NICs.

Each of the two serial ports can be configured as RS-232 or RS-485.These ports can be further configured to support SEL-relay specific features of IRIG-B from pins #4 and #6, and power from pin #1.

IRIG-B can be configured modulated or unmodulated.

The eight discrete inputs can be configured low range (12-48V dc nominal) or high range (125V dc nominal).

Expansion options available for I/O and serial ports. See reverse for details.

Cybersecurity

A full suite of security capabilities is included in the OrionMX design, including:

Strong passwords and user groups

Remote Authentication with LDAP to Active Directory

Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) to prevent malware

Syslog event recording

Secure protocols: SSH, HTTPS, TLS, SFTP

Disable unused Ethernet ports

Common OrionOS Architecture

The OrionMX is configured with NovaTech Configuration Director (NCD), the same tool used for all Orions.

The OrionMX runs on the same firmware as the other Orions: OrionLX+, OrionSX, OrionLXm and Orion I/O.

The OrionMX is available with the same software options as other Orions: Math & Logic, Web-based HMI, Alarming, SOE, Redundancy,

Relay Communications Processor, Email, etc.

Flexible Power Capabilities

Wide range. The standard wide range power supply supports nominal voltages from 24-250V dc and 120-240V ac.

A power out feature (12V @ 1A) enables radio, converters and other accessories in the panel to be powered by the OrionMX.

A low voltage 12-24V dc option is available with a power draw of less than 10W for battery-powered applications.

OrionMX Expansion Cases

Two Expansion Cases are now available on the OrionMX. The “2S” case can accommodate two Expansion Cards. The “4S” case can accommodate four Expansion Cards.

As with the Standard Case, Expansion Cases can be universally mounted because all ports, connections, and LEDs are on a single front surface. Mounting options include vertical and horizontal surface mount, DIN rail, and dual 19” rack mount.

OrionMX Expansion Cards

The “S1” Serial Expansion Card adds four (4) RS-232/485 serial ports, software selectable. Each port supports SEL® relay interface (pin 1 power and IRIG support) plus pin assignments for modem connection.

The “D1” Discrete I/O Expansion Card adds eight (8) discrete inputs, software selectable, for 125V dc or 12-48V dc nominal, and four relay grade outputs, two Form A and two Form C.

The “F1” Serial Fiber Expansion Card adds four (4) serial ST fiber ports 800-850nm. Point-to-point and multidrop are software selectable.

 

 

 

All card combinations are permitted, including all the same cards, making possible up to 16 additional serial ports or up to an additional 32 DI / 16 DO. Cards can be replaced or added in the field.
