The Elcon panels replace the termination boards provided by the DCS vendor, and provide a very clean, elegant robust and cost effective solution for on-line HART communications. The HART information is extracted without interfering with the 4-20mA signals used by DCS or PLC. 

Advantages:

• There is no need for point-to-point wiring normally associated with using HART multiplexers. 
• The panels match exactly the features and footprint of the DCS FDT, including cable connections. 
• Add HART communications. 
• The Elcon multiplexer plugs directly into the HART panel for easy installation and troubleshooting. 
• There is support for point-to-point or multi-drop smart devices. 

Elcon has a solution for all major DCS systems in the market today, including: ABB, Elsag Bailey, Foxboro, Honeywell, Moore Products, and Triconex.
