Technical Parameters Category Specification Model MTL5044 Product Type Foundation Fieldbus H1 Power Conditioner & Repeater Compliance Designed to meet Foundation Fieldbus H1 standards. Network Topology Supports trunk-and-spur topology. Primary Function Signal Conditioning, Repeater, and Power Supply for the fieldbus segment. Signal Repeater Yes. Regenerates the digital signal, extending the network range. Number of Ports Typically 4 isolated fieldbus ports, allowing it to create a network hub. Power Supply Requires an external 24V DC power source (input). Provides conditioned power to the fieldbus. Key Features Segment Protection Includes short-circuit protection for each output port. Diagnostics LED status indicators for power, network activity, and faults. Isolation Provides galvanic isolation between ports and from the power supply. Typical Use Case Used in conjunction with intrinsic safety barriers (e.g., MTL5043) to build a complete FISCO / Entity approved Fieldbus system in hazardous areas. Mounting Standard DIN rail mount. Operating Temperature -40°C to +70°C (standard for industrial MTL products).
