The MTL4851 and MTL4852 modules can also be located on HTP

SC16x termination boards for general purpose applications. HART loops

are simply wired through these HART Termination Panels and may be

grounded or floating circuits. The HTP boards offer a compact and cost

effective solution for general applications. CPH-SC16x backplanes are

ideal for signal loops requiring intrinsic safety (IS) protection, combining

multiplexer and IS isolator mounting. This offers considerable simplification

in wiring when compared to DIN-rail based solutions.

The HCU16 HART units connect to 16 general purpose field instruments

while maintaining channel to channel isolation. Resistor conditioning

options are compatible with all types of I/O cards. It allows pass-through

connections for transmitter power supply, input signal and common.

The HCU16AO unit includes HART filters for use with I/O cards that are

incompatible with HART communication signals.

Customised backplanes and connection units are available to provide

direct connection from DCS I/O cables, replacing the standard termination

boards.
