Temperature converter

MTL offer many different versions of Temperature converter, they all have similar functionally but differ in connection and case style.  The MTL3073, MTL5073, MTL5074, MTL5074XK, MTL5573, MTL5575, MTL5576-RTD & MTL5576-THC are DIN rail mounted isolators; the MTL4073, MTL4073XK, MTL4075, MTL4573, MTL4575, MTL4576-RTD & MTL4576-THC are designed to be mounted on a backplane.  For simplicity, in many cases references are made to the MTL457x modules but the comments are equally applicable to the equivalent MTL557x modules as well.  Also the spelling MTLx57x (e.g.MTLx573) is used to indicate that the reference applies to both versions.

The temperature converter takes an mV or Ω signal from either a thermocouple or RTD in hazardous area and converts this to a 4/20mA signal in the safe area.

The converter is programmable by the PCS45 software and PCL45USB (or PCL45) hardware, which configures input types, output characteristic, alarms etc.
