WIRING COMPONENTS (FOR ZONE/DIVISION 2) - The FCS-MBx-SG Megablocks are DIN-rail mounted passive hubs for easy connection of field devices to fieldbus networks and are certified for mounting in a Zone 2 and Division 2 hazardous areas. The established SpurGuardTM feature protects the fieldbus segment in the event of spur-short circuit faults. MTL has a comprehensive range of enclosures that are designed to house Megablock wiring components and accessories.

FIELDBUS DEVICES (FOR ZONE 2) - Normally non arcing (Ex nA), flameproof (Ex d) or explosion-proof certified fieldbus devices may be selected.

WIRING COMPONENTS (FOR ZONE 1) - The F240-273-XE Megablocks are DIN-rail mounted passive hubs for easy connection of field devices to fieldbus networks are certified for mounting in a Zone 1 hazardous area. The established SpurGuardTM feature protects the fieldbus segment in the event of spur-short circuit faults. MTL has a comprehensive range of enclosures that are designed to house Megablock wiring components and accessories.

SURGE PROTECTION - The MTL Surge Technologies’ fieldbus protector range has been designed specifically for fieldbus installations, providing excellent protection while remaining transparent to the digital communication signals. The cost of reliable surge protection is therefore a small price to pay to safeguard the significant investment in today’s fieldbus systems.

FIELDBUS POWER SUPPLIES - These provide conditioned DC power to the field wiring and devices. MTL fieldbus power supplies cover every application, including redundant types for high-reliability applications.

HOST CONTROL SYSTEM - FOUNDATION fieldbus™ is supported by all major Control System vendors. MTL have worked closely with every supplier to develop cost effective, integrated power supply solutions.

HIGH ENERGY TRUNK - A fieldbus network interconnects transmitters and actuators to a control system over a single twisted pair cable with a high energy trunk. The trunk and spurs cannot be live worked. The image above shows key components required to build a fieldbus network.
