Eaton MTL intrinsically safe fieldbus barriers
Fieldbus barriers providing intrinsically safe spurs from a high-energy trunk for FOUNDATION™ fieldbus H1 devices – mount in Zone 1/21, spurs into Zone 0.
- High-energy trunk with intrinsically safe spurs for FF H1 devices
- Mount in Zone 1 (gas) or Zone 21 (dust) with spurs into Zone 0
- Redundant versions (9372-FB, 9387-FB) for high availability
- Complete 6/12-spur enclosures or modules/open-frame for your own enclosure
Overview
MTL fieldbus barriers provide intrinsically safe spur connections from a high-energy trunk, enabling reliable connection to certified FOUNDATION™ fieldbus H1 instruments. They are engineered for hazardous areas and come in a variety of configurations and enclosure materials.
