Before you begin
1 Before you begin
This manual provides installation information for Micro Motion®MVD™ Direct Connect
meters. MVD Direct Connect meters may or may not include the MVD Direct Connect I.S.
barrier. Both installation types are discussed here.
Additionally, this manual provides basic information for establishing communication
between the MVD Direct Connect meter and the remote host system.
1.1 Safety
For information on I.S. applications, refer to Micro Motion ATEX, UL, or CSA installation
instructions.
WARNING!
Improper installation in a hazardous area can cause an explosion. For information about
hazardous applications, refer to the appropriate Micro Motion approval documentation,
shipped with the meter or available from the Micro Motion web site.
CAUTION!
Excess voltage can damage the core processor. To avoid damaging the core processor, use only
low-voltage DC power.

Product overview and architecture
2 Product overview and architecture
MVD Direct Connect meters are used to supply Micro Motion sensor data directly to a
remote Modbus-capable host, rather than to a Micro Motion transmitter. Because there is
no transmitter component, MVD Direct Connect systems are not intrinsically safe unless
the MVD Direct Connect I.S. barrier is included in the installation.
2.1 Installation options
All MVD Direct Connect systems include a sensor and a core processor. Either the standard
core processor or the enhanced core processor may be installed. The core processor
(standard or enhanced) can be mounted integrally with the sensor or remotely.
If the MVD Direct Connect I.S. barrier is installed, a separate barrier is required for each
core processor.
See Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 for illustrations of MVD Direct Connect installations without
the MVD Direct Connect I.S. barrier. See Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 for illustrations of
MVD Direct Connect installations with the MVD Direct Connect I.S. barrier.

WARNING!
MVD Direct Connect systems without the MVD Direct Connect I.S. barrier are not intrinsically
safe.

2.2 Multidrop installation
Up to fifteen MVD Direct Connect installations can be networked to a single remote host. If
I.S. barriers are used, one barrier is required for each core processor. Figure 2-5 shows the
four options for a multidrop installation.
