Overview

The Honeywell FC-TSDI-16UNI is a Safe Digital Input Field Termination Assembly (FTA) engineered for high-integrity industrial control environments. It connects field digital input signals to the System Interconnection Cable (SICC-0001/Lx), providing seamless integration with Honeywell Safety Manager systems. This module is ideal for applications requiring dependable signal routing, compact installation, and long-term reliability.

Moreover, the FC-TSDI-16UNI supports two groups of eight input channels, each terminated via screw terminals for secure and vibration-resistant connections. Its compact design and global certifications (CE, UL508, CSA, TUV) make it suitable for use across process industries. In addition, its rugged construction ensures consistent performance in high-vibration and electrically noisy environments.

For instance, in a chemical processing plant, the FC-TSDI-16UNI ensures accurate signal transmission from emergency stop buttons and limit switches to the safety controller, thereby reducing downtime and enhancing operational safety.
