The Phoenix Contact MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I repeater power supply is engineered for safe and precise transmission of current signals in hazardous environments. Designed to handle 0/4 mA … 20 mA signals, it transfers data from Ex zones into safe areas while maintaining full isolation between input, output, and supply. With SIL 2 certification, compact 12.5 mm housing, and support for HART transparency, it ensures dependable performance where process integrity and explosion protection are critical. This device provides a reliable solution for industries that demand both functional safety and space-saving signal conditioning.

The MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I combines safety with operational efficiency by delivering high accuracy and low power dissipation. It supports both powered and non-powered current loops, offering two isolated outputs and continuous HART communication for advanced diagnostics. Error detection in line with NAMUR NE 43 helps identify faults quickly, reducing maintenance time. Its durable build and international certifications make it suitable for demanding sectors such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and pharmaceutical automation. By ensuring consistent signal quality and simplifying installation on DIN rails, it enhances plant reliability while reducing downtime and operational costs.

Why Phoenix Contact MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I?

The Phoenix Contact MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I stands out because it merges intrinsic safety with high signal accuracy in a compact housing. Unlike conventional isolators, it not only handles 0/4 mA … 20 mA signals but also provides two fully isolated outputs, ensuring flexible integration into complex automation systems. Its SIL 2 certification and HART transparency make it a trusted choice for engineers who demand performance, compliance, and easy diagnostics in hazardous areas where every detail matters.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Industrial facilities often struggle with safely transmitting measurement signals from explosive zones to control systems without compromising accuracy or safety. The MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I addresses this by providing three-way isolation, error detection, and robust Ex i protection. It eliminates risks of signal interference and ensures operators receive precise data while maintaining compliance with global safety standards. This reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and provides peace of mind in environments where reliability is critical.

The Applications

1. Safe Temperature Measurement in Hazardous Zones

In oil refineries and gas processing plants, temperature transmitters are often located in areas with explosive risk. These transmitters must deliver precise data to the control room without increasing ignition hazards. The MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I provides an intrinsically safe 4–20 mA loop supply while isolating the signal and duplicating it across two outputs. One channel can be used for process monitoring, while the second is reserved for maintenance or redundancy. With HART transparency and SIL 2 certification, operators can remotely configure devices and ensure reliable operation, even under harsh conditions where continuous accuracy and safety are essential.

2. Extending Signal Reach in Distributed Systems

Large production facilities often spread sensors across wide areas, where signals must travel long distances to central control systems. Without proper isolation, these signals may degrade or face safety limitations. By using the MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I, engineers can extend reliable communication between field instruments in hazardous areas and controllers in the safe zone. Its compact DIN-rail housing and low power consumption make it practical for installation in junction boxes or control cabinets. Dual outputs allow the same signal to be routed to multiple systems, reducing wiring complexity while maintaining compliance with intrinsic safety requirements.

3. Redundant Safety Loops in Chemical Plants

Chemical processing often demands redundant signal paths to protect critical operations such as reactor control or dosing systems. The MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I enables dual isolated outputs from a single input signal, allowing the same measurement to feed both a control system and an independent safety circuit. This setup ensures that if one channel fails or becomes corrupted, the second channel continues to provide accurate data. Integrated error diagnostics based on NAMUR standards further enhance fault detection. By combining redundancy, precision, and intrinsic safety, the device strengthens overall system reliability in high-risk industrial environments.

4. Reliable Signal Conditioning in Harsh Manufacturing

Manufacturing sites with heavy machinery and electromagnetic interference often struggle with clean signal transmission. Sensors measuring variables such as pressure, level, or vibration can produce noisy data that undermines control accuracy. The MACX MCR-EX-SL-RPSSI-2I solves this with three-way isolation, shielding both the input and outputs from disturbances. Its slim 12.5 mm housing saves valuable panel space, while high accuracy ensures operators receive trustworthy information. With built-in HART transparency, plant engineers can perform diagnostics and adjustments remotely, reducing downtime. This makes it a robust choice for maintaining efficiency and safety in demanding production environments.
