Intended use
The device is a piece of equipment from explosion protection category
“increased safety” (IEC/EN 60079-7) and may only be used as part of the excom
I/O system with the approved module carriers MT… (TÜV 21 ATEX 8643 X or IECEx
TUR 21.0012X) in zone 2.
DANGER These instructions do not provide any information on use in zone
2.
Danger to life due to misuse!
- When used in zone 2: Observe the information on use in zone 2 without fail.

General safety instructions
- The device may only be mounted, installed, operated, configured and maintained by professionally trained personnel.
- The device meets the EMC requirements for industrial areas. When used in residential areas, take measures to prevent radio interference.
- Only combine devices that are suitable for joint use based on their technical data.
- Check the device for damage before mounting.
Product description
Device overview
Functions and operating modes
The module converts an analog input signal of 0…21 mA into a digital value of
0…21,000 digits. This corresponds to a resolution of 1 μA per digit. Up to
eight HART variables (maximum four per channel) can be read via the cyclical
user data traffic of the fieldbus. The acyclical data exchange offers enhanced
communication options such as the diagnostics and parameter setting of HART
field devices.
Installing
Multiple devices can be mounted directly next to each other. The devices can also be changed during operation.
- Protect the mounting location from radiated heat, sudden temperature fluctuations, dust, dirt, humidity and other ambient influences.
- Insert the device into the designated position on the module rack so that it noticeably snaps into place.
Connecting
When plugged into the module rack, the device is connected to the module
rack’s internal power supply and data communication. Screw connection terminal
blocks or terminal blocks with spring technology can be used to connect the
field devices.
- Connect the field devices as shown in “Wiring diagram.”
Commissioning
Switching on the power supply on the module rack immediately switches on the fitted device. As part of the commissioning process, the input and output behaviors must be parameterized once via the fieldbus master and the module slot must be configured.
Wiring diagram
Operating
The device can be fitted in or removed from the module rack during operation if a potentially explosive atmosphere is not present.
LEDs
Setting
The behavior of the inputs is parameterized via an associated configuration tool, FDT frame or web server, depending on the higher-level fieldbus system. The following parameters can be set for each channel:
- Short-circuit monitoring
- Wire-break monitoring
- Substitute value strategy
- HART status/measuring range
- HART variable
- Channel of the HART variable
- Activate or deactivate secondary variable
- Filter for mean value generation
Repair
The device must not be repaired by the user. The device must be decommissioned
if it is faulty. Observe our return acceptance conditions when returning the
device to Turck.
Disposal
The device must be disposed of properly and does not belong in the domestic
waste.
