Peer to peer communication

SafetyNet Controllers can communicate with one another via Ethernet using SafetyNet

P2P - which has been certified as suitable for use in SIL 2 applications. Robust checks and

controls on access and data corruption ensure the safety of communication and

allow safety functions for which the inputs and outputs are widely separated to be

easily implemented - both in terms of the software programming and in the hardware design.

Open communications

MTL Open System Technologies products are just that - open. SafetyNet nodes

communicate with one another, with standard MOST nodes, historian and asset

management packages and with HMI packages over a fault tolerant Ethernet LAN,

running at up to 100 Mbit/s.

PAC8000 delivers full-specification performance in a broad range of harsh process environment conditions; extreme

temperatures, humidity or corrosives and conditions subject to shock and vibration. 

In ATEX environments, PAC8000 also excels. 

All components can be installed and maintained in Zone 2/Division 2 hazardous areas. 

The I/O includes modules that can be connected directly to Intrinsically Safe (Exi) or Increased Safety (Exe) field wiring. 

PAC8000 provides comprehensive diagnostic data on controllers, Bus Interface Modules (BIM), 

I/O modules, field wiring and field instruments, allowing users to respond to issues quickly and effectively.
