Eaton MTL4850-TR Triconix 4850 HART® multiplexer

• Designed to mount directly to Tricon Interface

cards and Trident backplanes

• Designed for use in SIL3 loops (non interfering)

• Connect up to 992 loops on one RS485 network

• Auto baud rate detection

• Automatic addressing for Tricon and Trident systems

• LED indication for fault diagnosis

• Isolated Power Supply

• Firmware upgradeable

• Onboard Diagnostics

• Alarm output

The 4850-TR HART multiplexer provides a simple interface between

smart devices in the field; Triconex safety systems and FDT based

HART® instrument management software running on a PC.

The system is based on 32-channel modularity to provide a compact,

easily configurable and expandable system. Using a standard RS485

serial link, up to 992 individual HART® devices can be connected to a

single network.

For the optimum solution, the 4850-TR mounts directly to either

the Tricon (Interface) card or the Trident backplanes via a 100-way

connector.

Connectivity to HART Configuration and Asset Management

Software

The online access to the information contained within HART devices

allows users to diagnose field device troubles before they lead to costly

problems. Software such as PACTWARE can capture and use diagnostic

data from HART field instruments via the MTL HART connection

hardware. This allows users to realise the full potential of their field

devices to optimise plant assets, which results in significant operations

improvement and direct maintenance savings.IMS products provide

essential configuration, calibration,

monitoring and maintenance history functions for conventional analog

(4-20 mA) and HART protocol compatible smart process instruments

and field devices. They deliver powerful tools to meet the need for

standardised instrument maintenance procedures and record keeping

mandated by some quality standards and regulatory bodies.

The benefits of utilising these powerful software packages online

include:

• Reduced commissioning time and costs

• Reduced maintenance costs

• Reduced documentation

• Reduced process downtime

The 4850-TR will offer connectivity to a comprehensive range of FDT

based software packages via the 4850-TR Device Type Manager (DTM).
