The FC-SDI-1624M is a high-integrity Safe Digital Input (SDI) module for the Honeywell Safety Manager system. It provides 16 discrete input channels for monitoring critical safety field devices such as emergency stop buttons, pressure switches, and light curtains. The "SDI" designation highlights its role as a primary data collector for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), ensuring fault detection and high reliability.
Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the FC-SDI-1624M operates across -40°C to +70°C and features a compact 100 mm cube design that supports high-density I/O configurations within standard control cabinets. With advanced internal diagnostics, it validates every input signal before processing, making it suitable for SIL 2 and SIL 3 safety loops in refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities.

Safety Integrity: Detects internal hardware failures and external wiring faults, maintaining a guaranteed Safe State.
Environmental Resilience: Withstands extreme temperatures and unconditioned remote instrument enclosures (RIEs).
Space-Efficient Design: Compact footprint allows more safety inputs per linear inch of rack space.
Seamless Integration: Directly interfaces with Honeywell safety backplanes and communicates with the central Quad Processor Pack (QPP).
What is the significance of the "M" suffix in FC-SDI-1624M?
The "M" indicates a specialized hardware revision with enhanced monitoring, optimized for redundant I/O carriers and high-availability Safety Manager configurations.
Can this module detect a broken wire in the field?
Yes. When paired with the correct Field Termination Assembly (FTA) and end-of-line resistors, the module can differentiate between a normal logic low signal and an open-circuit fault, providing reliable field wiring diagnostics.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
