EATON MTL4850 HART Multiplexer

Description

EATON MTL4850 HART Multiplexer

Product Dimensions：

The MTL4850 is a high-density HART® multiplexer from Eaton’s MTL product line. It is designed to provide an interface between smart field devices and HART® configuration or instrument management software (IMS) on a PC. It is primarily used to simplify the maintenance and calibration of smart instruments in large-scale industrial plants.

Product Overview

The MTL4850 acts as a communication bridge, allowing users to access the “smart” data (such as diagnostics, calibration parameters, and secondary variables) from field instruments without interrupting the 4-20mA control signal. It is specifically optimized for integration with Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).

Technical Specifications (Product Parameters)

Key Advantages

• High Density: Supports 32 channels in a single compact module, significantly reducing cabinet space requirements.

• Cost-Effective: Connects thousands of field devices to a single PC via RS485 networking.

• Non-Intrusive: Communicates with field devices without disturbing the primary 4-20mA analog control signal.

• Simultaneous Access: Provides rapid scanning of device status, which is critical for large-scale asset management.

• Seamless Integration: Works with industry-standard software like AMS Device Manager, FDT/DTM, and Valmet DNA.

Precautions & Notes for Use

• Backplane Requirement: The MTL4850 is not a standalone unit; it must be mounted on a specific MTL4850 backplane (which handles the signal routing).

• Termination: Ensure correct RS485 termination at the end of the communication link to prevent data errors.

• Safety: While the module itself is often located in a safe area, ensure the field loops comply with hazardous area regulations if applicable.

• Power Supply: Use a stable, filtered 24V DC power source to ensure reliable HART communication.

Product Applications

The MTL4850 is widely used in industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemical Processing, and Power Generation for:

1. Online Asset Management: Continuous monitoring of valve health and transmitter diagnostics.

2. Remote Calibration: Configuring smart instruments from the control room rather than the field.

3. Loop Testing: Verifying instrument performance during commissioning or turnaround.

4. ESD Integration: Interfacing with Emergency Shutdown systems to monitor the “health” of safety-related sensors.
