Field Interface

Safety Manager™ uses Field Terminal Assemblies (FTAs) and internal cables

to connect IOs and communication channels to field terminals.

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).

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

The safety system is seamlessly integrated with the Experion™ Process Knowledge System

(PKS) into a single architecture, providing an excellent opportunity to improve safety and process

availability.

Experion PKS ensures unparalleled connectivity between processes and business operations,

optimizes workflows, simplifies maintenance tasks, enhances safety management, and frees personnel

from manual tasks.

Introducing:

Honeywell Safety Manager™ is a reliable and highly complete safety system tailored for critical control

applications.

It is an integral part of Honeywell Experion™ PKS and integrates seamlessly

into PlantScape and can also operate autonomously.

Safety Manager is the foundation of functional safety, ensuring the well-being of individuals,

plant assets and the environment while optimizing plant continuity.

Safety Manager is a user-programmable, modular, microprocessor-based safety system

capable of performing a wide range of high integrity process control and safety instrumentation functions, including:

High integrity process control

Burner/boiler management systems

Process protection and emergency shutdown

Turbine and compressor safety protection

Fire and gas detection systems

Pipeline monitoring

Architecture

The system consists of a single 1” (2.54 cm) wide board mounted in a ruggedized rack designed for European style cabinets.

Two rack widths are available:

a. 19-inch with 17 card slots for up to 16 channel control cards and one engineering card.

b. Half 19 inches with 9 card slots for up to 8 channel control cards and 1 engineering card.

Each subrack contains one engineering card and one DC input card to form the rack system.

The system is designed to accommodate different customer wiring configurations, and for this reason,

the control functions are separated from the relays and field wiring connections.

Therefore, single channel gas detection consists of :

a. Sensor Driver Module

For compatibility with a wide range of input and sensor types, the circuitry required to control the sensors is mounted on separate plug-in sensor driver modules.

These modules plug directly into the channel control card and are factory installed. Two different modules are available, one for catalytic inputs and the other for 4 – 20mA inputs.

b. Single Channel Control Cards

Each single-channel control card is self-contained and contains all the necessary electronic circuitry to provide sensor actuation, 

alarm detection, and gas level indication for that gas detection channel.

c. Field Interface or Relay Card

Field interface/relay cards provide interface connections between the control card and the respective field-connected gas sensors.

In addition, relay cards provide alarm outputs for field connections.
