The MTL4854 mounts on the same range of backplane as

the MTL4850 but includes four HART modems that enable

simultaneous communications with connected field devices to

be carried out.

The primary application for this is to enable monitoring of other

channels to continue while one channel is being used for valve

positioner diagnostics.

The benefits of utilising these powerful software packages online

include:

• Reduced commissioning time and costs

• Reduced maintenance costs

• Reduced documentation

• Reduced process downtime

The MTL4850/54 offers connectivity to a comprehensive range

of FDT based software packages via the comms Device Type

Manager (DTM). The DTM can be downloaded from

www.mtl-inst.com. Other software packages work with the

MTL4850/54 through custom software drivers or by the inclusion

of the device description (DD) file for the MTL multiplexers.
