MTL SUM5
MTL 5
Smart Universal Marshalling
Minimise CapEx and maximise investment return with the revolutionary smart universal marshalling solution, SUM5. MTL SUM5 combines five functions in one modular design enabling one standard cabinet to deliver the lowest lifetime costs and lowest installed cost while saving valuable space in a control room.
MTL SUM5 offers a single cabinet design, with ‘plug and play’ configurable modules for the five key marshalling functions. This eliminates the need for intricate wiring to interconnect the components, ultimately improving uptime and reducing the cost of wiring, installation and maintenance.
MTL SUM5’s modular design simplifies marshalling and provides increased flexibility throughout the product lifetime. Loop disconnect is integrated in every terminal, so loops can be easily isolated, which together with the modular design, simplifies maintenance and keeps associated costs to a minimum.
MTL HART™ Interfacing
MTL 4851 & MTL 4852
HART Multiplexers
The MTL4851/52 HART connection system is the system of choice for unrivalled flexibility. Based on 16 channel modularity the system can be easiliy expanded to cover up to 7936 HART devices on one network. The flexibility of the MTL4851/52 and its ability to communicate with any of the Instrument Management Software (IMS) packages on the market today allows us to offer the optimum solution for any application - both general purpose and Intrinsically Safe.
The HART multiplexer provides the brains of the system and consists of a combination of two modules, the MTL4851 - HART communications module and MTL4852 - HART interface module. They provide the HART data interface between smart devices in the field and HART instrument management software running on a PC. The modules, which mount on to a range of HART backplanes, connect to the field devices via either HART connection units or IS backplanes depending on the application.
MTL 4854

Fieldbus Power Supply
Simplex FISCO
Power Supplies
In a FISCO fieldbus network, the entire field circuit – including the trunk and all spurs - is intrinsically safe. The fieldbus power supply includes an intrinsic safety barrier, and provides conditioned power to the fieldbus segment in the hazardous area. The fieldbus instruments together with the power supply and any associated wiring components, must be certified as intrinsic safety apparatus and must comply with FISCO requirements. The field instruments may be located in a Zone 0 or 1, IIC or IIB hazardous area, depending on the certification of the individual components.
FISCO enjoys the benefits of any intrinsically safe instrumentation circuit. These advantages include the ability to live-work in the hazardous area without “gas clearance”, for example to add or remove a fieldbus instrument while the bus is energised in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. This is critical for Foundation fieldbus installations because field instruments need to be connected to a live network in order to establish communication with the host control system.
For easy integration with DCS Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs), we can supply Termination Boards that use the DCS client system interconnect cables. These support up to four power supplies and have built-in segment terminators.
Redundant FISCO Power Supplies
Since their introduction in 2002, the MTL simplex FISCO power supplies and wiring components have become the definitive solution for intrinsically safe fieldbus, and have been chosen by influential end users to protect major hazardous area networks worldwide. Plant operators have been able to take advantage of the benefits of a fully live-workable field network without the onerous restrictions on segment loading and maximum cable length that were imposed by earlier IS techniques. The existing product portfolio has established our credentials as technical leader for intrinsically safe fieldbus.
With the introduction of the 910x series of power supplies, we are the first to offer true redundancy for the FISCO concept, which will provide the highest level of reliability for critical hazardous area applications.
Single-Segment Fieldbus
Power Supplies
The F101, F102 and F104 fieldbus power supplies each provide power for a single FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1 segment. Galvanic isolation, power conditioning and segment termination are incorporated. The F10x Series modules should be adopted for all new installations requiring single-segment, non-redundant power in small to medium scale applications such as batch processing.
- The range features:
- Compact design
- Fully isolated
- Low power dissipation
- DIN rail power bus option
Redundant Fieldbus Power Supplies
The NEW 9180 range should be selected for all new applications. Its unique N+1 redundancy approach provides flexibility to the system designer meeting the initial demands of the project with 2 power supply modules/segment, whilst having the ability to add a third power supply later to meet expansion requirements. The advantage to the operator is typically a 25% saving in initial capital cost compared to a conventional, 1+1 redundant architecture. High system availability is achieved with the use of passive components for power conditioning, galvanic isolation and power regulation delivering redundant fieldbus power at up to 28V, 500mA/segment. The product range also includes power supply modules that can be used to provide power for segments with Ex ic spurs, to be used in conjunction with MTL F300 range of Megablock device couplers and F30 Ex ic adaptor.

Fieldbus Wiring Components
Single-Segment Fieldbus
Power Supplies
The F11 is the next generation of the popular power hub. Ideal for fieldbus device or system demonstrations, bench-top calibrations and test setups. The power hub is a mini fieldbus segment in a box - just add devices.
A typical use for the power hub is to configure, precommission, test or calibrate Fieldbus devices.
Spur Connectors
If an Entity certified* field device needs to be added to a segment powered by a FISCO power supply, then a 9321-SC Entity spur connector can be used with a 9121-IS power supply and a 9323-SC Entity spur connector can be used with a 9122-IS power supply.
When connected between the segment and the device, it limits the power and with the 9323-SC the current, making the spur compatible with the safety description (24V, 250mA and 1.2W) of an Entity certified device.
- 9321-SC and 9323-SC connect FF816 entity certified devices to FISCO power supply segments
- DIN rail mounting.
If field devices are to be mounted in Zone 0, or have an electrical connection into Zone 0, then a 9322-SC spur connector can be used. This is connected in the spur to provide EEx ia current limiting.
The 9322-SC is designed to work with the 9121-IS IIC or 9122-IS IIB FISCO power supplies. This can only convert an ‘ib’ source to an ‘ia’ when the source voltage is clamped to ‘ia’ as with the 9121-IS and 9122-IS power supplies.
- 9322-SC connects devices located in Zone 0 to EEx ib fieldbus trunk
- DIN rail mounting.
Spur Connectors
Typically, one F30 adaptor is used with each fieldbus segment, and is installed with the Megablock in the field enclosure. Power to the Ex ic segments is provided by 9192-FP modules installed on the 9180 series power supply carriers. When connected to suitably certified fieldbus instruments in Zone 2 hazardous areas, the spurs may be live-worked in accordance with normal intrinsic safety procedures. This allows field devices to be connected to the network while it is energised in the hazardous area. Unlike competing products in which the trunk must be treated as a ‘partial’ intrinsic safety circuit, our solution provides clear separation between the non-arcing (Ex nA) trunk and the intrinsically safe (Ex ic) spurs, thereby avoiding complex rules for wiring in the marshalling cabinet. Further, it is compatible with all host H1 control systems that comply with basic electrical safety standards, avoiding ambiguous rules for host system approvals.
- Key benefits of the our Ex ic solution are:
- Simple compliance with Ex ic certification requirements from control room to field
- No need to assess energy contribution of host H1 card
- Architecture supports Ex nA, Ex d devices and Ex i devices on the same segment
- Satisfies FISCO and Entity spur applications
- Supports longer trunk cable lengths for FISCO spur applications
