For larger substations and
the most complex applications

Introduction

The most powerful member of the Orion family, the OrionLX+ takes on all automation applications in T&D substations. Modular serial cards and network options enable the OrionLX+ hardware to leverage existing equipment and minimize upgrade effort. The OrionLX+ has been tested with very large configurations and confirmed to be suitable for the largest substations: 80,000 points, 512 IEDs, redundancy, and IEC 61850.

Hot Swappable 
Power Supplies

Single or redundant supplies can be ordered, each removable under power from the 
front of the OrionLX+. For higher reliability, both power supplies share the load, and are 
health monitored by internal Orion diagnostics.

Expanded
 Networking Options

Five NovaCard Expansion Cards are available to support a wide range of network and I/O needs:

NovaCard #0 (NC0): Adds one 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet port and 4DI/4DO

 

NovaCard #1 (NC1): Adds one 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet port, two SFP slots, and 4DI/4DO:

 

NovaCard #2 (NC2): Adds 12 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports

 

NovaCard #3 (NC3): Adds PRP/HSR ports for LAN A and LAN B (10/100/1000BaseT and SFP) plus one 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet port and one SFP slot. Also adds 4DI/2DO

 

NovaCard #4 (NC4): Adds 16 DI
