Belonging to the SC S300 series, it is SIL3 (Safety Integrity Level 3)
certified, conforming to international safety standards such as ATEX and IECEx,
and meeting the highest safety requirements.

The module model is FC-SCNT01, supporting 16-channel configuration (8
inputs + 8 outputs), and can be flexibly configured as AI (analog input), AO
(analog output), DI (digital input), DO (digital output), etc., adaptable to
various sensors and actuators.
Safety Certifications and Standards: Compliant with IEC 61508 SIL 3 safety
standard, it has passed international certifications such as ATEX, IECEx, CE,
EN54, NFPA 72/85/86/87, FM, and CSA Class 1 Div 2, and has obtained ISASecure
EDSA Level 1/2 network security certification, ensuring dual protection of
functional safety and network security.
Design Architecture: Employs a dual-channel redundant design, supporting
QMR (Quadruple Modular Redundancy) architecture. It features a 32-bit RISC
microprocessor with 256 KB program memory, 16 KB data memory, and up to 64 I/O points (supporting 8 inputs/8 outputs or mixed configurations). Communication
interfaces include PROFIBUS DP, RS-232, Ethernet, and Modbus protocols, and it
supports HART 7.0.
Power Supply and Electrical Characteristics:
Uses 24VDC power supply with power isolation to ensure stable system
operation in the event of power failure or abnormality. Operating temperature
range is -40°C to +70°C, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Status Monitoring and Indication: Equipped with status indicator lights to
display input/output status, power status, and fault information in real time,
facilitating rapid fault diagnosis.
Features and Advantages
Safety Control Capabilities: Designed for scenarios such as Emergency Stop
(ESD), Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), fire and gas detection, burner
management, and High Integrity Protection (HIPS), ensuring safety actions are
triggered in abnormal situations (e.g., valve closure, alarm activation,
emergency shutdown). Supports offline simulation and cloud engineering, enabling
remote configuration and debugging, improving engineering efficiency.

Flexibility and Scalability: Utilizes Universal IO technology, each channel
can be independently configured with different I/O types, supporting modular and
scalable system design, reducing space and cost. Integrates with the Honeywell
Safety Suite ecosystem, integrating gas detection, worker safety monitoring, and
equipment management functions, enhancing overall safety and compliance.
Reliability and Maintenance:
Module design meets industrial-grade reliability standards, supporting
hot-swappable and redundant configurations, reducing downtime.
User manuals and documentation provide detailed installation,
configuration, and troubleshooting guidelines, supporting regular maintenance
(e.g., power checks, communication line testing, card status monitoring).
I/O Capabilities: Supports digital input/output, with flexible channel
configuration, compatible with field devices such as sensors and actuators.
Status indicators display real-time input/output status, power status, and fault
information.
Expansion Capabilities: Supports modular expansion, such as redundant I/O
modules (e.g., FC-IOTA-R24) and safety digital I/O modules (SDIO), supporting up
to 64 redundant I/O modules, flexibly configurable through I/O link
configuration.
Dual-Channel Redundancy Design: Ensures fault tolerance and improves system
reliability.
16-Channel Configuration: 8 inputs + 8 outputs, supports digital signal
processing (e.g., switch status, sensor signals), compatible with 24VDC
industrial power supplies.
High-Performance Parameters: 400mA output current, driving safety
actuators; operating temperature range -40°C to +70°C, adaptable to harsh
environments.
