• Four serial-port intrinsically safe inputs:

2 x RS232/TTL

2 x RS485/RS422

• 10/100Mbs Ethernet

• ATEX / IECEx certified

• FM / FMC approved

• Wide temp. range –40°C to +70°C

• High Performance 32-bit processor

• PoEx™ Power over IS Ethernet option

The 9461-ET Ethernet Gateway gives existing intrinsically safe equipment

“Ethernet connectivity” by allowing conventional serial communication

port equipment to be connected to an Ethernet network.

Two 9-way D-type serial ports are provided which are RS232/TTL

compatible. In addition, the module’s front panel screw terminals

(T6 – T15) provide two RS485/RS422. 2- or 4- wire ports, giving a total of

four serial ports. All ports can operate at speeds up to 115K2baud.

Various protocols are available (e.g.: Serial Modbus, Modbus/TCP,

Ethernet IP etc) in addition to Serial Tunnelling.

The 9466-ET switch can also distribute power to compatible devices

connected to each of its five ports via the RJ45 Cat5e cables (PoEx).

This method eliminates the separate power supply cable to the device

simplifying installation and maintenance.

The 9466-ET is designed for hazardous-area mounting inside a suitable

enclosure with intrinsically safe Zone 1. ATEX and IECEx certification

and Division 1 FM USA and Canada approvals. The ATEX and IECEx

approvals cover both surface industry and mining applications.

The default mode of operation is a 5-port, unmanaged switch with auto

negotiation. However the onboard EEPROM memory can be configured

via the serial RS232/TTL port either in the safe area, using a PC, or in

the hazardous area using the 9461-ET Ethernet Gateway as its host

processor.

Programmable features such as Rate Limiting, VLAN support and

Forced Speed and Duplex settings may be configured in this way,

along with access to MIB counters etc. The 9466-ET also has Intelligent

Routing with automatic address learning, aging and migration.

It supports IEEE 802.3: 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and also MDI / MDI-X

auto crossover, for easy cascading of switches with standard cables.

The module is supplied as a DIN-rail mounting device.

• 5-port 10/100Mbps links

• Zone 1. Division 1 mountable in suitable enclosure

• Broadcast “storm” protection

• Intelligent Routing

• Programmable Management

• ATEX / IECEx certified

• FM / FMC approved

• Status LEDs to show activity

The 9466-ET 10/100Mbps, Layer 2. Ethernet switch allows the

interconnection of MTL 9460-ET range networking modules via its 5

ports. It also enables an Ethernet network to cover a greater distance

using either Cat5e cable or fibre-optic for longer spans. This capability

is due to the low latency ‘store and forward’ mechanism integral to

the switch, which ensures that the stringent timing associated with

Ethernet is maintained.

With the 9466-ET switch each connection is effectively a ‘point-to

point’ network segment unlike the older generation hubs that were

simple ‘dumb’ repeaters. The old hubs needed to impose a limit on

overall network length to ensure proper collision detection; this limit is

overcome by the 9466-ET. Broadcast “storm” protection is also provided

to eliminate network overload due to excessive ‘broadcast’ & ‘multicast’

packets.

• Zone 2 mountable for connections to Zone 0 and 1

• Galvanically isolated RJ45 ports

• Transparent operation

• Compact alternative solution to fibre optics and media converters

• ATEX / IECEx certified

• FM / FMC approved

• Wide temp. range –40°C to +70°C

• Single 20–30V DC power supply

• Status LEDs to show activity

The 9468-ET 10/100Mbps, Isolating Ethernet Barrier allows the

interconnection of a Zone 2 or uncertified safe area device to the

intrinsically safe 9400-ET range of Ethernet networking products,

operating in the hazardous area.

The isolating barrier provides a compact alternative solution to fibre

optic cable and media converters and for when it is desirable to use

Cat5e cables in preference to fibre.

The 9468-ET is designed for Zone 2 hazardous-area mounting

inside a suitable enclosure and has intrinsically safe ATEX and

IECEx approvals, together with IS approval for USA and Canada. FM

Division 2 mounting approval is pending. The ATEX and IECEx

approvals cover both surface industry and mining applications.

10/100Mb Ethernet twisted pair (Cat5e) RJ45 connections (100metres

length max.). These RJ45 ports provide total galvanic isolation

(Um=253Vac) from safe to hazardous areas.

Status LEDs are provided on the front panel to indicate:

• ‘Power On’

• Safe Area UTP ‘Link 10/100Mb’ established

• Safe Area UTP ‘Tx/Rx Activity’

• Haz. Area UTP ‘Link 10/100Mb’ established

• Haz. Area UTP ‘Tx/Rx Activity’

The module operates from a single supply in the Safe Area of

20…30Vdc at approx. 220mA.

Transparent operation – 10/100Mbps, Full/Half Duplex with Auto

Negotiation. Supports IEEE 802.3: 10Base-T and 100Base-TX.

The module is supplied as a DIN-rail mounting device.

The Crouse-Hinds series MTL 9460-ET product range provides cost-effective

Intrinsically Safe (IS) Ethernet equipment that can be installed and maintained 

easily in hazardous areas. The intrinsically safe hazardous area certification

permits the components to be mounted in a Zone 1. or Division 1 hazardous

area with connectivity into Zone 0.

In Process Automation it is also preferable to use a single cable to provide both

power and communications to the end device. The 9460-ET range can deliver

Intrinsically Safe Power over Ethernet (PoEx™) with a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable,

allowing live connection and disconnection of the end device in Zone 0 and 1

hazardous areas.

The MTL 9460-ET range includes:

The 9471-ET(G) is an Intrinsically Safe (IS) Ethernet to Serial 4 Port

Communication Module suitable for Zone 1 / Zone 21 mounting,

(Zone 0 / Zone 20 with a suitable Ex ia Power Supply).

The Module allows existing Intrinsically Safe equipment with an RS485/

RS422 or RS232/TTL port to become Ethernet Enabled via a Cat5e/6

cable connection into an IS Ethernet Network (LAN). The unit has 4

serial ports, each one supporting either RS485/RS422 or RS232/TTL

depending upon the configuration required. There are 2x RJ45 (LAN)

ports that support 10/100/1000 IS Ethernet connections – these allow

‘daisy-chaining’ of units together.

Power (12V DC) is supplied to the module either locally or using Power

over Ethernet (PoEx) from either LAN port – This requires the PoEx

output to be wired to the Supply Input terminals by the user.

Note: PoEx not available on Gigabit versions

Systems….

Electrical connections are via cage-clamp and/or screw type plug/

socket terminals along with RJ45 type connectors for the Ethernet

LAN ports.
