MTL fieldbus displays

Eaton supplies the widest range of Crouse-Hinds series MTL fieldbus displays from 8-variable to cost effective single-variable versions, field and panel mount variants, safe and hazardous area versions as well as FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1 and Profibus PA versions. All versions are bus powered to simplify installation.

The 8-variable BA-x8x model provides a large 86 x 45 mm back-lit display with 9 standard screen options displaying 1 to 4 variables, measurement units and tags as well as bar graphs. The operator can select the displayed screen via the front panel push-buttons, or these buttons may be disabled. The instrument can be supplied with six isolated alarm outputs, each of which may be linked to any of the displayed fieldbus variables. Alarm setpoints can be entered via the front panel push-buttons, which in turn may be protected by a security code.

Our cost effective MTL BA-x1x model displays a single fieldbus process variable on a bold five digit display and a 31 segment analogue bargraph. It supports FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1 with an Input Selector fieldbus function block which is supported by most fieldbus hosts.

Field mounted versions are housed in a robust IP66 glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure with a toughened glass window that may be surface mounted or pipe mounted using one of the accessory kits.

Panel mounted versions provide IP66 ingress protection from the front, fitting in a standard 72 x 144mm panel cut out.
