1 INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual describes the procedures for installing, connecting, checking and
maintaining the MTL4850 HART® maintenance system, which is a simple interface between
smart devices in the field and HART instrument management software running on a PC.
Visit our website at www.mtl-inst.com for the full specifications of the MTL4850 system
components and accessories, and the MTL4500 range of isolators mentioned in this manual.
2 DESCRIPTION
The MTL4850 HART Maintenance System enables a user to calibrate, configure and maintain
an entire network of 'smart' field devices from a single workstation.
The key element that makes this possible is the MTL4850 or MTL4854 modules, which provide
the multiplexing for the individual field devices, making each one addressable and identifiable
from the workstation.
The other important element is the terminal circuit board that simplifies the interconnection
of the field devices to the multiplexer module. A range of terminal boards and backplanes has
been designed to suit most general applications but custom versions can also be designed to
suit individual OEMs and their applications.
Up to 63 MTL4850/54 modules
The multiplexer module, MTL4850 or MTL4854, uses a plug-in style with fixing screws to
provide a simple and secure installation method onto the backplane.
For intrinsically safe applications, consideration must be given to the safety parameters for
each field loop. For further information, please refer to Eaton’s MTL product line or your local
representative.
The MTL4850 has a single HART modem to service the channels connected to the module
whilst the MTL4854 has four HART modems. The latter enables simultaneous communication
with multiple field devices through a single multiplexer, providing obvious benefits for
applications where speed of data access is important.
NOTE
For any application of the multiplexers where connection is made to signals which are part
of a safety instrumented system then the MTL4850 must be used. Refer also to the safety
manual for the MTL4850 available from our website.
For safe areas, HART Connection Units provide the necessary terminals to connect up to
32 field devices. These may be basic connection units, linked to a HART interface board, or
they may be integrated units with an MTL4850 or MTL4854 multiplexer onboard. Section 2.3
explains this in more detail.
Having the isolators mounted on a backplane dramatically reduces the amount of hand wiring
required and therefore reduces the number of potential wiring errors. The hazardous-area
wiring terminates on the isolating modules, not the backplane, consequently the backplanes
do not need IS certification.
The alternative is to choose a connection unit or backplane that integrates with the type of
DCS being used on the plant. The key advantage of this method is the use of a DCS’s specific
connector type, which simplifies the wiring of the connection units into the system. Various
solutions are available to suit individual DCS types and a listing of the currently available
connection units and backplanes is given in Appendix A.
NOTE
The MTL4850/54 may also be used to update existing HART installations, but these
methods are not discussed here. Consult MTL product line for information if this is of interest.
The self-contained (non-IS) connection unit - see Figure 2.2 - is a 32 channel connection
unit with screw terminals for the field devices and the main system, and an integrated
multiplexers. Up to 63 of these connection units can be daisy-chained on an RS485 link to a
PC runnning HART maintenance software. Apart from an RS485 to USB (or Ethernet) protocol
converter, no other external hardware is required.
See Section 4.1 for details.

The HMP-HM64 is a compact interface between the connection units and the maintenance
system. Up to 32 of these can be daisy-chained on an RS485 link to a PC runnning HART
maintenance software, making a total coverage of 2016 channels. See Sections 4.2 to 4.5 for
details.

HART CPH-SCxx
backplane
The CPH-SC16 backplane is designed for MTL4541 single channel isolators and has 16 field terminals,
while the CPH-SC32 has 32 field terminals for MTL4544/4544A dual channel isolator modules.
RS485 ports on the backplanes enable them to be connected to the HART maintenance software PC.
In addition, both backplanes have a facility to accept dual (redundant) power supplies for
maximum system availability.
Units MUST NOT be installed in a hazardous area unless certified and marked for this
purpose or unless protected by a locally accepted explosion-proof technique.
• Make sure all installation work is carried out in accordance with local standards, codes
of practice, and site regulations.
• Check that the hazardous-area equipment complies with the descriptive system
document.
• If in doubt, refer to the certificate/catalogue for clarification of any aspects of intrinsic
safety or contact Eaton’s MTL product line, or your local representative, for assistance.
• Check that the interface unit(s) functions(s) are correct for the application.
4 INSTALLATION
This section details the methods used to implement the connection options outlined in
Section 2.3.
Able to handle up to 32 channels through its screw-clamp field and system terminals, it is
a convenient way to integrate HART maintenance facilities. The HTP-SC32 provides a self-
contained solution because the MTL4850/54 HART multiplexer is already on-board and
requires only DC power and a simple RS485 link to the host management PC to get started.
Two terminals are provided for each channel enabling connections to be made to 2-wire
transmitters, 4/20mA current loops or voltage inputs. Each channel is isolated so it may be
connected to any suitable point in the analogue loop, and input and output types may be mixed.
HART signals have to be terminated into an impedance of >240W, so provision is made on the
circuit board to fit parallel resistors - normally 250W - or a series resistor if the input impedance
at the point of connection is <240W. Various models are available to suit these termination
options. Table 4.1 identifies the models and their specific differences and Figure 4.2 shows how
these models are used.

connections
P1 and P2 connect to multiplexer module 1 and P3 and P4 connect to module 2. Each one
provides 16 signal connections and 4 ground returns to the module. The HM64RIB20 cable is
used for this purpose and is available in standard lengths from 0.5 up to 6 metres. This cable
is intended for use within a cabinet to link the connection units to the HART multiplexer, and
is not ruggedised for applications outside of the cabinet environment.
For example, if the address switch is set to 24 (i.e. switch 8 and 16 are set ON) then module 1
will take the address 24 and module 2 (if it is fitted) will be at address 25.

Each channel has three terminals: +ve, -ve and a transmitter supply terminal (Tx +) – see Figure
4.6. The HART signal has to be terminated with an impedance of approximately 240W. Positions
are provided on the circuit board to fit parallel resistors (normally 250W), or an appropriate
series resistor to raise the impedance if it is < 240W. This unit can be used with analogue outputs
if the system's current signal is compatible with HART communications.
Connections to the field signals and the system are via screw-clamp terminals.

INTERFACE
The HCU16AO HART connection unit - see Figure 4.8 & 4.9 - enables HART signals to be used
in current output loops, in non-hazardous areas. It has 16 isolated channels, each with a low-
pass filter in series with the current signal from the system. This has virtually no effect on the
4-20mA signals but presents a suitable high impedance (> 240W) to the HART signals for their
detection and measurement.
Field and system connections are made via pluggable 8-way, screw-clamp terminals, in 4
groups of 4 channels.

Other types of backplane are available that have provision for the inclusion of an MTL4850/54
module on the backplane itself. These are dealt with in the next section.
The CPH-SC16R version has 250W resistors across each of the control system terminal to
provide a 1–5V signal for the host. Only the MTL4541 and MTL4541A modules may be used
with this version.
Connectors P1 and P2 at each end of the backplane are provided for linking a pair of CPH-SC16
(or 16R) backplanes to utilise the full 32 channel capacity of the MTL4850/54. See Section 4.11
for additional details.
If a pair of backplanes is linked in this way, only one will have the multiplexer modules fitted.
The MTL4850/54 is fitted to the backplane that carries modules 1–16: the RS485 serial link
should also be connected to this backplane.
The CPH-SC32R version has 250W resistors across each of the control system terminal to
provide a 1–5V signal for the host. Only the MTL4544 modules may be used with this version.
Power requirements
Voltage: 20–35V dc
Current (with all channels at 20mA): 0.65A max. @ 24V dc - CPH-SC16(R)

These are mounted on the backplane at the same height as the tops of the module, close to the
hazardous-area connectors. Earth rails are attached using the following procedure:-
a) Locate the earth rail mounting positions - marked ‘C’ in Figure 4.15 - at each end of the
backplane.
b) Attach each mounting post (1) with two M3 x 12 mounting screws and washers (2).
c) Fit the earth terminals (3) onto the rail (4).
d) Insert the ends of the earth rail into the slots at the tops of the mounting posts.
e) Finally, insert the plastic retaining rivets (5) into each end of the rail.
WARNING!
Personnel that carry out connection of wiring to or from hazardous areas must be
correctly trained. Unless this work is done correctly, it can endanger the lives of site
workers and seriously damage equipment.
Hazardous area wiring is terminated on the isolator modules using the blue terminals
provided on them. For full information on the wiring of MTL4500 isolators consult MTL
publication INM4500.
Figure 4.16
Control wiring
connections:
CPH-SC16(R)
shown as example
The numbering on the terminals corresponds to the channel number. In the case of the CPH-
SC16(R), the terminal numbers correspond with the the module number; however, the CPH-
SC32(R) is designed for dual channel isolators and so there are two sets of terminals per module.
The same channel terminals are used for input or output field devices because the
backplane provides the required interconnections.
Maximum wire gauge is 2.5mm2 (12 AWG) and the wire enters from the side of the block.
Connect each of the two power supply connectors to the independent supply sources according
to the terminal assignments shown in Figure 4.17.

The backplane has two fuses, one for each power supply. These fuses are rated at 2.0A and may
be obtained as accessory FUS2.0ATE5 which contains 10 spare fuses.
NOTE
Backplanes can be ring-mained providing the maximum circuit current does not exceed 12A.
Wire sizes up to 2.5mm2 (12AWG) can be used and should be chosen according to load and
voltage drop.

Most PCs running instrument maintenance software masters use RS232 or USB for serial
communication; however, this interface type does not allow the communications network to
extend beyond 10 to 20 metres in length.
We have chosen to use an RS485 serial interface, which includes tri-state operation, and
allows network lengths of up to 1000 metres and operates with data rates between 1200 and
38k4 baud when used with the MTL4850 or MTL4854. RS485 also allows the simple parallel
connection of a number of units.
NOTE
For the purposes of this document RS485 can be regarded as a 2-wire, half-duplex,
differential, multi-drop (32 nodes), communications standard. The RS485 standard defines the
characteristics of the drivers and receivers that can be connected to the bus. It does not define
the cabling or connectors used, nor does it specify a particular data rate or signal format.
Terminations
RS485 interfaces should ideally be provided with a ‘matched’ termination to prevent reflections
and ringing of the signal on the bus cabling. The termination is usually a simple resistive
terminator, with an impedance that matches the characteristic of the cable - this will normally be
in the range of 100 - 200Ω.
Biasing
When no communication is taking place, the bus is in an undefined, floating state and,
consequently, noise on the bus may be decoded as real characters. Well-written software
MTL4850 multiplexer modules from us have no built-in facility for terminating or biasing the
network; as this is often provided by the RS232/RS485 converter.
Figure 4.20
2-wire
bus system
This 2-wire bus uses the same pair of wires to transmit queries from the master and responses
from the slave.
The MTL4850/54 multiplexer module connects to the maintenance workstation via a 2-wire link,
accessible from the RS485 Port connections on the backplane. Up to 63 MTL4850/54 modules
(slaves) can be connected to a single Master maintenance workstation, as shown in Figure 4.20.
Connect the bus to the backplane as follows using a screened cable, for example Belden 8132 or 9841.
Figure 4.21
RS485 port
connectors
• Connect the two cores of the RS485 cable to screw terminals A & B of Port A on the
backplane - see Figure 4.21.
• If multiple backplanes are to be connected, use Port B to loop to Port A of the next
backplane. To avoid spending time in troubleshooting, it is suggested that the same
colour convention is used for all connections to backplane terminals A and B, e.g. red
to A, black to B.
NOTE
No damage will occur if the signalling lines are connected with the wrong polarity.
The system will not operate in this case but all that has to be done is to reverse the two
connections to make it operate correctly.
If the module does not operate correctly, the module mounting should be the first point to check.
Position each isolator module in its appropriate location on the backplane. Ensure that the
module is not tilted, which could damage the connector pins, then press it carefully to the
backplane. All safe-area circuit and power connections are made through this connector.
WARNING!
Personnel that carry out connection of wiring to or from hazardous areas must be
correctly trained. Unless this work is done correctly, it can endanger the lives of site
workers and seriously damage equipment.
Hazardous area wiring is terminated on the isolator modules using the blue terminals
provided on them. For full information on the wiring of MTL4500 isolators consult our
publication INM4500/4600.
NOTE
the HMP-HM64 can only be set to even numbers as the other module adopts the odd
addresses. See Section 4.2.5.
1. Modules are of the types specified in the relevant documentation and are mounted in the
correct positions on the associated backplanes.
2. Modules and hazardous area connectors are correctly and legibly tagged; that the
connectors are plugged into the matching modules and that the tag details given comply
with the relevant documentation.
3. Modules and hazardous area connectors are securely plugged into their matching sockets.
4. All connections to the backplane, and to the hazardous area connectors, are properly made.
5. Connecting cables to backplanes and to the hazardous area connectors are of the specified
type and rating.They should be correctly routed and segregated and not frayed or otherwise
damaged.
6. Cable screens are properly earthed.
Caution: It is strongly recommended that users only undertake the tests and routine maintenance
described in sections 6.2 and 6.3.
If an MTL4500 module is judged faulty, repairs or modifications MUST NOT be made as these
may affect the intrinsic safety of the module. For repair or replacement, any faulty units or
backplanes should be returned to us or the representative from which they were purchased.
7 SOFTWARE CONNECTIVITY
7.1 Introduction
The MTL HART system provides access from a PC to the HART field devices for configuration,
diagnostics and the monitoring of device performance. HART devices may be selected for
regular status monitoring, and an alert issued if the status changes. An internal alarm log is
also maintained which may be accessed through the Instrument Management Software (IMS)
package - see Appendix B for further details.
In addition, the MTL HART connection system supports dedicated software packages for valve
positioners to optimise valve maintenance schedules.
The MTL Comms DTM enables an MTL4850/54 system to pass HART data to any IMS that
utilises the FDT/DTM concept.
The DD and DTM files are free of charge and can be downloaded from the our website at:
www.mtl-inst.com/product/hart_software
