Serving out data and HMI

Introducing the OrionSX, the latest model in the Orion family. The OrionSX brings a combination of power and small size into applications for serving out large amounts of data and serving out a distributed Orion Direct Video HMI. Just like all Orions, the OrionSX is equipped with OrionOS™ ensuring across-the-line compatibility in firmware, software, protocols, and configuration.

The OrionSX is an OrionLX+ in a smaller package. The only difference is in the communication ports and I/O expandability. Offering a combination of power and small size, the OrionSX provides a compact solution for four utility automation applications.

Mounting flexibility is a key feature in the OrionSX. The universal mounting brackets offer mounting on horizontal lower surfaces, front vertical surfaces, top horizontal surfaces, or rear vertical surfaces. DIN rail and 19” rack mounting are also available.

1. Data acquisition front end in the utility enterprise.

With the same power and capacity of the OrionLX+ but with only a small fraction of the volume, the OrionSX is ideal as a data acquisition front end for EMS, DERMS, and ADMS. In only 14 RU, 28 OrionSX can access over one million points from field IEDs.

2. Distributed Direct Video HMI in larger transmission substations.

When OrionSX are networked to the substation RTU, their browser can be pointed to the RTU and all of the pages become accessible. No need to plug a PC into a switch. A southwest user plans to put three or four OrionSX into their big substations so complete visualization and control are never more than a few steps away.

3. More compact Orion SCADA Master, further reducing the cost of Orion SCADA.

4. Smaller transmission substation RTU, where serial communication and PRP/HSR Ethernet networking are not required. Two redundant OrionSX can be mounted side-by-side in one rack, saving space and reducing cost.

The OrionSX provides a compact solution for four utility automation applications:
