Solution
The Eaton MTL GECMA RT Hazardous Area Workstation is a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) extension of a Personal Computer or Thin Client located in the safe area.
The MTL GECMA RT provides an easy-to-use, near real-time ‘plug and play’ solution that enables a secure PC or Thin Client to be remotely controlled from within the hazardous area, via a single, point-to-point connection. The MTL GECMA RT consists of individually Ex-certified, modular components from the MTL GECMA Work Station range, such as a power supply, display with or without touchscreen, keyboard, pointing device and mechanical hardware. By adding an RT communications module (COM), a Remote Terminal solution is then achieved.
The RT COM module receives data from a PC in the safe area via an Ex-certified data connection, which is available as a copper or fibre optic connection (Multi Mode or Single Mode) for reliable data transfer over (longer) distances.
A Safe Area Unit (SAU) is required to combine and transfer the video and data information intrinsically safely via cables to the Remote Terminal in the hazardous area.
Two versions of the SAU are available, a desktop version for single terminal access or a rack-mounted version that allows up to four terminals to be connected.
