The most complete substation I/O solution

Orion I/O provides the most comprehensive solution for substation automation, featuring high density, I/O card flexibility, and unique local display for point names and status.

NovaTech Orion I/O™ is an extension of the family of Orion Automation Platforms for substation automation and incorporates the same security features, software tools, and NCD configuration as the OrionLX+, OrionLXm, OrionMX, and OrionSX. It is a rack, panel, or DIN rail mountable assembly with four slots that can be filled with any combination of I/O cards, currently:

  • 16-point Discrete Input Card

  • 16-point Discrete Input Wetted Card

  • 16-point Discrete Output Card

  • 16-point High Power Output Card

  • 8-point Discrete Input / 8-point High Power Output Combination Card

  • 8-point Analog Input Card

  • 8-point Analog Input Flex Card

Full population of discrete cards yields 64 I/O in 2 RU (rack units); full population of analog input cards yields 32 analog inputs. See Figure 1 below for front indications and rear connections on Orion I/O.

Rear Display / Surface Mount

To facilitate legacy RTU retrofits, a “Rear Display” (RD) model with panel and rack mounting options is available. All LEDs and ports are located on the same side.

Security

In addition to TPM (Trusted Platform Module), Orion I/O incorporates the same software tools and security features as all Orions, including support for RADIUS, LDAP, DNP3-SA, and TLS encryption.
