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.
