IM-ENG-116/GB 3. F UNCTIONAL ESCRIPTION 3.1 Overview The Mux2700 HART Signal Multiplexer (HSM) provides 32 signal channels for connection to field located, “smart” transmitters or control devices supporting digital communication according to the HART standard. The Mux2700 acts as a gateway between a Maintenance Workstation (MW) – typically a PC with suitable SW – and the field instrumentation.

The Mux2700 HSM is not normally intended to be designed by the user in a specific application, but to be used as part of the Elcon HART Interface Solutions (H.I.S.) offering, which provides appropriate interconnection packages for a wide range of applications, as well as a set of compatible Maintenance Workstation solutions. This makes the Mux2700 application straightforward, because most “tricky”...
I fact, the Mux2700 architecture is such that any internal single fault never result in any interference with an input connected 4/20 mA loop. For this reason, the MUX 2700 can be used as a monitoring device within safety-sensitive applications.

RP12.6) applicable in the country of use. Before powering the Termination Board, verify the polarity and the voltage level of the supply line. The supply volta- ge must be within the limits specified for the Mux 2700 module. Warning ! Improper supply connections could seriously damage the Mux 2700 module.
Cornerstone creates and maintains a comprehensive instrument database and individual histories of the configura- tion, test, calibration and maintenance activities performed on each instrument. Finally, Field Browser from Neles Automation is another package which can directly interface with the Elcon Mux2700 HSM.

Address setting The Mux 2700 module operates as a slave device on a multi-point RS-485 serial line. A unique address is therefore to be specified for each Mux connected to the same serial line. To set the required address, use the first five swit- ches according to the following table.
IM-ENG-116/GB 7.3 Connections and mounting The Mux2700 HSM module is a plug-in unit intended for insertion in a suitable H.I.S. Termination Board. Therefore, the primary electrical connections (supply, field connection, serial lines) are made at the Termination Board level. Please refer to the relevant board instruction manual for details. The Mux2700 box –...

IM-ENG-116/GB Warning ! Please remember that – unless the GND signals at both ends are connected to earth – the RS-485 communication line needs three wires (differential pair plus GND). It is not recommended to use the cable shield as GND connec- tion (i.e.
No periodic maintenance or calibration is required for this product, which is also not intended for direct repair from the end-user. For these reasons, the Mux 2700 enclosure was not designed to be easily opened (and a special tool is in fact required at this purpose).

12.1 Three-port isolation The three-port isolation structure of the MUX 2700 is depicted in Fig.8. As you can see, both the 24V supply input and the RS-485 serial interface are isolated from the HART section, that is to say, from the HART signals on the field devices.

MUX is still fully functional. In a more formal term, the probability of any “electrical feedback” of the MUX 2700 on the loops signals is very low, and you can consider the control system for “fail-safe” applications (this doesn’t mean, however, that the MUX is fail-safe certified or that it will keep working properly when in a generic “single-fault”...

4-20mA loop. 12.5 Conclusions By this note, it was possible to clarify how the MUX 2700 isolation structure is such to guarantee both an high level of application flexibility and a good reliability and fault tolerance (as for induced errors).
