The Honeywell FC-TSHART-1620M serves as a high-performance Analog Input Field Termination Assembly (FTA) specifically engineered for the Honeywell Fail-Safe Control (FSC) and Safety Manager architectures. This module provides the critical interface for 16 channels of HART-enabled smart transmitters. It facilitates the acquisition of precise 4–20 mA process variables while simultaneously extracting secondary digital data for advanced device diagnostics and remote configuration. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring compliance with strict SIL 3 safety standards for critical process industries.
The FC-TSHART-1620M utilizes high-resolution conversion circuitry to ensure signal integrity across all 16 safety-critical channels.

Enhanced Diagnostic Coverage: By leveraging the HART protocol, the FC-TSHART-1620M monitors the health of field-mounted smart transmitters in real-time. This visibility allows the safety system to detect "hidden" device failures, significantly improving the Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) of the overall safety loop.
Superior Signal Precision: The module delivers 16-bit resolution with an accuracy of ±0.1%, ensuring that the Safety Manager receives highly granular process data. This precision prevents nuisance trips and improves the reliability of safety-instrumented functions (SIF).
High-Voltage Protection: Rated for a maximum supply of 30V DC, the assembly incorporates robust isolation barriers. This design shields the internal Safety Manager electronics from field-side electrical surges and ground loops common in industrial environments.
Rapid Process Response: With an update rate of ≤ 100 ms per channel, the FTA ensures that the controller acts upon process deviations almost instantaneously, satisfying the demanding response time requirements of SIL 3 applications.
Does the FC-TSHART-1620M support both 2-wire and 4-wire transmitters?
This FTA primarily interfaces with 4-20 mA HART-enabled transmitters. While it manages the signal conditioning, you must verify your specific field wiring and power distribution requirements within the FSC cabinet to ensure proper transmitter loop powering.
Can I use this module to configure transmitters remotely?
Yes. The FC-TSHART-1620M facilitates bidirectional HART communication. This allows maintenance teams to perform remote instrument configuration, zero/span calibrations, and diagnostic retrieval without entering hazardous field areas.
What is the difference between this and a standard (Non-HART) analog input FTA?
Standard FTAs only process the 4-20 mA analog signal. The "M" version (FC-TSHART-1620M) includes additional circuitry to pass the digital HART signal to the controller or an Asset Management System (AMS), enabling predictive maintenance.
