Working Principle 24VDC discrete signals from field safety switches pass through galvanic isolation circuit. The module reads signal state cyclically and sends digital status data to safety CPU. Diagnostic circuit injects test signal to monitor loop impedance continuously. When wire break or short circuit occurs, the module latches fault state, activates corresponding LED alarm and sends fault information to safety controller. Safety CPU uses validated discrete signal to execute safety interlock logic.

Installation Requirements

  • Insert FC-SDI-1624 module into designated slot of Safety Manager rack.
  • Use shielded twisted pair cable for field safety device wiring.
  • Separate safety signal cables from high power cables in cable tray.
  • Complete protective earth connection for rack and control cabinet.
  • Verify wiring polarity of all 24VDC field devices.
  • Perform channel fault simulation test after wiring completion.
  • Inspect backplane connector contact integrity before power energization.

Usage Notes

  • Perform hot swap strictly in accordance with Safety Manager operation manual.
  • Do not apply voltage exceeding rated specification to input terminals.
  • Keep cabinet dry and free of corrosive gas and conductive dust.
  • Execute periodic SIL proof test according to safety requirement specification.
  • Disconnect field wiring before high voltage insulation resistance test.
  • Use anti-static protection when handling spare modules.
  • Replace module immediately when permanent hardware fault occurs.
