MTL, part of Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds business, is proud to introduce three new multiplexers as part of the MTL4850 Series HART® connection system.

The new MTL4851, MTL4852 and MTL4854 multiplexers are part of a system that provides a simple interface between smart devices in the field, control/safety systems and HART® Instrument Management Software packages allowing you to access valuable HART® data quickly and easily.

The MTL4851 and MTL4852 provide an expandable solution from 16 to 256 channels through multiple secondary modules with a single master device. Auto-detection of communication parameters, no switching on the modules and two to three times faster scan capability, give significant savings in both maintenance and commissioning time and associated costs.

The MTL4854 provides four HART® modems to enable you to carry out parallel communications with field devices giving you more access to data which can be used to optimise your process.

The new multiplexers offer many benefits including:

• Reduce commissioning time by up to 70% with 2 to 3 x faster initial scan
• Reduce set up and maintenance costs with plug ‘n’ play modules
• Maximise availability through the Integrated HART multiplexer status with alarm relay
• Flexible, cost effective solution scalable from 16 to 256 HART loops/MTL4851
• Single source of supply for all IS, HART multiplexer, surge protection and industrial network requirements
• Over 40 years’ experience in harsh, hazardous and industrial environments. Global network of sales and support with reliable, trusted products and service
