Model M1438A 8 HART Input Module

Product catalog summary
Overview: The MAXIFLEX Hart Input Module, Model M1438A 8H, is designed to connect to eight HART loops, each supporting up to 15 devices. It serves as a primary master in each loop, facilitating real-time data acquisition for SCADA and DCS systems. The module fits into any Maxiflex I/O slot and supports up to 15 modules in a Maxiflex system.
Features:
  • Supports Burst Mode and Polled Mode operations with configurable poll timers.
  • Automatic or manual polling regimes in Polled Mode.
  • Up to 32 custom query blocks per loop can be configured.
  • 500Vdc minimum loop isolation.
  • CE approved.
Advanced Features:
  • Burst Mode allows only one slave device per loop.
  • Automatic Polling in Polled Mode polls all transmitters at the same rate, searching for offline devices every seven seconds.
  • Manual Polling allows user-defined polling rates, searching only for offline devices with configured poll timers.
  • Custom Query Block Configuration allows up to 64 blocks per loop, with options for one-shot or cyclic queries.
Specifications:
  • Eight independent HART loops, each supporting up to 15 devices.
  • Baud rate ranges from 300 to 38,400 baud.
  • 500Vdc isolation between loops and logic.
  • Loop voltage up to 30Vdc, with resistance between 230 and 1100 ohms.
  • Data Interchange Table with 8000 16-bit registers.
  • Operating temperature from -10°C to +50°C, storage from -40°C to +70°C.
  • Humidity tolerance up to 95% at 40°C, non-condensing.
Indicators and Power:
  • Front panel indicators show module health and data transmission status.
  • Consumes 250mA from a 5Vdc logic power supply.
Ordering Information: The module is available under the order code M1438A.
Connection Details: Provides diagrams for two-wire and four-wire transmitter connections.

Model M1438A 8 HART Input Module-1

MAXIFLEX Hart Input Module Model M1438A 8H Hart Input Module DATASHEET FEATURES • Connects to eight HART loops, each with up to 15 devices Acts as Primary Master in each HART loop Facilitates real-time data acquisition to SCADA and DCS Fits any Maxiflex I/O Slot. Up to 15 M1438A modules in a Maxiflex system. Supports both Burst Mode & Polled Mode Operation Configurable Poll Timers when in Polled Mode Automatic or Manual Polling regime when in Polled Mode Up to 32 Custom Query Blocks per loop can be configured 500Vdc minimum loop isolation to each HART loop. The Maxiflex M1438A 8H is an Input Module that acts as a permanent host interface device (primary master) on up to eight Hart networks simultaneously and is used to acquire data from the HART loops and to make the data available for SCADA, data-logging etc. using the Maxiflex system. The M1438A plugs into an I/O slot on a Maxiflex base and independently interrogates field devices on eight Hart networks, making the data available to the Maxiflex system. This data may be accessed by the entire range of Maxiflex CPU's. (The NIM is designed to be self configuring for ease of use. Once powered up, the NIM searches for HART devices on each of its eight HART interfaces and builds an inventory of devices found. Various data elements are continuously and automatically read from the device and stored in the Data Interchange Table (DIT) in the device for access by the rest of the Maxiflex system. The M1438A handles all HART communications and exchanges data with the system by means of a 8000 register Data Interchange Table (DIT). All system configuration data and dynamic data can be read and written through this convenient table interface. This data is then accessible by the CPU, SCADA, DCS or PLC systems as regular data registers in the system. The link to the HART device is made transparent to the rest of the system.

Model M1438A 8 HART Input Module-2

MAXIFLEX Hart Input Module Model M1438A 8H Hart Input Module ADVANCED FEATURES • Burst Mode – When configured for use in this mode, there can only be One Slave device connected on each loop. Polled Mode(Automatic Polling) – When configured for automatic polling the Master(M1438A) will poll all transmitters up to 15 connected to each loop at the same rate. After seven seconds the Master will search for a device which is NOT online. If the device is found then it will be switched to online. *Note: When Automatic polling is selected the Programmable Poll Timers for each loop are ignored. Polled...
