Eaton FDB3100

The MTLx549 accepts 4/20mA floating signals from safe-area controllers 

to drive 2 current/pressure converters (or any other load up to 800Ω) in 

a hazardous area. For HART valve positioners, the module also permits 

bi-directional transmission of digital communication signals. Process 

controllers with a readback facility can detect open or short circuits 

in the field wiring: if these occur, the current taken into the terminals 

drops to a preset level. The MTL4549C and MTLx549Y are very similar 

to the MTLx549 except that they provide open circuit detection only 

(i.e. no short-circuit detection).
