MLX Field Mount Loop Indicator

Brand: Yokogawa Electric Corporation

The MLX is the latest addition to Yokogawa's family of loop powered indicators operating from a 4-20 mA DC input. 

This model uses the same explosion proof housing as the MLA and MLD, and incorporates the LCD display from the EJX pressure transmitter. 

The display itself contains a 6 digit numerical display, a 6 digit alphanumeric display for engineering units and a 20 segment bar graph indicating 0 to 100% of full scale. 

The display is user configurable to show the desired engineering units. 

Another unique feature is square root extraction from a pressure transmitter signal for flow measurement. 

Please consult our general specification or instruction manual regarding product related details, options, mounting and wiring.
Features
  • User interface
    • A front panel push button switch combined with four touch switches allows easy configuration of the indicator (calibration, span, zero and engineering units).
  • Root extraction
    • For applications where the process variable is non-linear and based on the square root, 3/2 root or 5/2 root, the MLX can be configured to display the root function of the input.
  • Field Configurable 
    • Via the front panel user interface, the process variable parameters can be modified as desired in the field.
  • LCD Display features
    • The LCD display includes a bar graph for an analog indication of the process variable magnitude. The 6 digit display and 6 character display (combined with several symbols) give an instant view of all process variable parameters. A menu system allows customizing parameters such as decimal point position, engineering units, status of symbols and state of bar graph.
  • Self-diagnostics
    • Built-in diagnostics operate at power-up and during operation for ease of maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • EMC Conformity Standard
    • EN61326-1 Class A, Table 2 (for use in industrial location)
  • Built-in Loop Protection
    • Includes circuitry that, in the event of MLX failure, automatically takes the MLX out of the loop thus maintaining loop integrity.
