C8000 floor mounting enclosure system for MTL8000 Series Process I/O

◆ High packing density

◆ No external barriers or isolators
◆ Hot swapping facility
◆ 6mm effective width per channel

The MTL8000 system can be connected to all major fieldbus types

and allows complete access to information from both smart and non
smart field devices. MTL8000 Series offers genuine process control
I/O features and data integrity. As well as real field mounting
capability, MTL8000 Series gives customers the benefit of greatly
reduced installed cost. Cabling and interconnections are both
minimised, and extra plant security, local fail-safe and preventive
maintenance characteristics combine to make this a unique and
reliable form of process control.
