6.2 Digital Output modules
The single channel Digital Output (DO) module range enables on/off devices in a hazardous area
to be controlled from the safe area. Some units are loop powered while others enable solid-state
switching by providing independent power supplies.
6.2.1 MTL5521(-T) - Solenoid Alarm driver
Single channel, loop powered, IIC
The MTL5521(-T) is a loop-powered module that enables a device located in the hazardous area
(IIC gas group) to be controlled from the safe area. The MTL5521(-T) can drive a certified
intrinsically safe low-power load, as well as non-energy-storing simple apparatus such as an
LED.
