IO FTA

The FTA module for IO converts input field signals to values appropriate for the Safety Manager input module being used,

or converts Safety Manager output module signals to values that can be used in the field.

For this conversion, the FTA can be used in combination with an input conversion module or an output conversion module.

FTA modules are available in widths of 70 mm (2.76 inches) or 109 mm (4.29 inches) and in lengths of 90 mm to 300 mm

(3.54 inches to 11.81 inches), depending on the FTA type.

The modules are mounted on standard DIN EN rails (TS32 or TS35 x 7.5).

The FTA may contain electronic circuitry to convert standard Safety Manager signals into specific signals with characteristics required by the field device.

When connected to the Safety Manager IO module, all FTAs use the standard system interconnect cable FS-SIC-0001. field cables are connected to the terminals.

Communication FTAs

FTAs used for communication purposes are connected to a channel of the Universal Safety Interface (USI).

All Safety Manager IO modules are galvanically or optically isolated between the external and internal power supplies.

Safety IO modules are available for safety circuits up to SIL3 and SIL3.

Safety modules can also be used in control applications to provide Safety Manager diagnostics and fault reporting with or without automatic fault isolation.

(The automatic fault isolation feature is configurable).

Field Interface

Safety Manager™ uses Field Terminal Assemblies (FTAs) and internal cables to connect IOs and communication channels to field terminals.

Two communication FTAs are available:

– Ethernet FTA, UCOM-HSE, or SDW-550 EC are available:

– Automatic switching of the 10Mb/100Mb Ethernet interface.

– The Universal FTA, DCOM-232-485. provides an Ethernet FTA, UCOM-HSE, or SDW-550 EC.

– RS232

– RS485

Cabling

System Interconnect Cables (SIC) connect field signals to IO modules.

Depending on the type of SIC cable, an FTA is required to establish the connection.

Benefits:

Simplified engineering and design efficiencies – Simplified safety network design

Enhanced system reliability and robustness – utilizes Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and IEC 61508 standards

Improved process availability – uninterrupted operation during system degradation with QMR technology

Improve O&M performance – unify critical process data and control information for seamless access

Protect investment – facilitate migration from FSC to QMR safety technology

Comply with safety standards – equip industries with SIL3 safety-compliant tools, hardware and software throughout the life cycle of the installation

The IO modules utilize European standard sized instrumentation cards.

The module front panels are 3 HE (3U) high and 4 TE (4 HP) wide. Each IO chassis holds 18 IO modules.

All IO modules have standard 32-pin DIN 41612F connectors.

All IO chassis are equipped with an IO backplane with mating 32-pin connectors and key coding to prevent incorrect insertion of IO modules.

Safety Manager offers a wide range of digital and analog inputs and outputs with different characteristics to meet the needs of a variety of field devices.

Table 12 on the next page lists the available inputs and outputs for the Safety Manager.

Built on QMR technology:

Safety Manager™ is based on reliable Quadruple Modular Redundancy (QMR™) diagnostic technology and 2oo4D architecture.

QMR increases system flexibility, enhances diagnostic messaging, and increases system fault tolerance for critical applications.

This technology enables Safety Manager to handle multiple system failures to meet the needs of critical control applications.

In addition, Safety Manager is the cornerstone for integrating SIL (Safety Integrity Level) rated sensors and valve actuators in the field.

This ensures effective deployment of safety instrumented functionality for complex and hazardous processes.

Whether it’s integrating SIL1-2 safety transmitters (ST3000 and STT250) or safety valve positioners

to enhance safety and field asset management, Safety Manager is the perfect enabler for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).

Enhanced business results:

Safety Manager™ is an evolution of the proven Fail Safe Controller (FSC®) safety system

platform that has been globally recognized for more than 15 years.

It embodies proven technology backed by Honeywell’s two decades of expertise in process safety management.

This includes the integration of process safety data, applications, system diagnostics and critical control strategies.

Safety Manager is designed to enhance business performance, improve process safety and protect plant assets and people.
