Quick Summary

Eaton CHG enclosed gateway enables robust Modbus RTU communication in hazardous locations. This gateway addresses the challenge of protecting sensitive electronics while keeping wiring simple and serviceable in harsh environments. With its IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure, it resists dust, water, and corrosive exposure that can degrade performance and uptime. The device is rated for -20°C to +47°C operation and supports a RS-485 serial interface over Modbus RTU, powered by 100–240 VAC. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards for hazardous locations further eases audits and commissioning. For integrators, its compatibility with seven ½-inch Myers hubs and Brightlayer Industrial monitoring workflows adds immediate value in asset monitoring and remote diagnostics.

FAQs

Installation should begin with confirming an IP66/NEMA 4X-rated enclosure and hazardous-location compliance. Mount the gateway in the panel, connect field devices to the seven 1/2-inch Myers hubs, and wire the RS-485 Modbus RTU network to the PLC/SCADA system. Power the unit with 100–240 VAC, secure all cable glands, and verify termination as per the system wiring diagram. Final checks should include dust/water ingress tests and a commissioning sequence to validate Modbus communication and fault reporting.
The BLI-CHG-D2-S-6 supports Modbus RTU over RS-485, enabling reliable communication with PLCs, RTUs, sensors, and field devices in hazardous zones. Its low current draw (0.064 A) helps minimize power impact on existing networks, while the robust enclosure protects electronics from harsh environments. Ensure device addresses, baud rate, and parity settings align with the gateway configuration for seamless data exchange.
Yes. The CHG enclosed gateway is designed for hazardous/classified locations and provides IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, plus a wide operating range of -20°C to +47°C. Its NEC/CEC compliance supports regulatory requirements in chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and marine environments. Seven 1/2-inch hubs simplify field wiring, which is valuable in space-constrained or rugged offshore panels.
The gateway carries Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification, NEC/CEC standards compliance, IP66, and NEMA 4X ratings, with UL certification references available in Eaton’s literature. These certifications verify safe operation in explosive or damp environments, support regulatory audits, and help ensure safe integration with your control system, reducing risk and speeding commissioning.
The CHG gateway reduces wiring complexity with seven hubs, improves uptime through rugged enclosure protection, and enables reliable Modbus RTU communications in harsh locations. Its compatibility with Brightlayer Industrial monitoring accelerates remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, translating to lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned outages, and faster deployment in new or expanded hazardous-area control architectures.
