Product Introduction
The Honeywell FS-DO-1624 Digital Output Module is a high-performance output module engineered for industrial control and safety systems that demand precise, reliable digital signal actuation. Designed to operate within Honeywell’s FS Series control platform, this module provides 16 optically-isolated digital output channels capable of switching a wide range of DC loads. Its robust design ensures consistent operation in harsh industrial environments, offering protection against electrical noise, transient surges, and electromagnetic interference.
With a 24 VDC nominal operating voltage and built-in diagnostics, the FS-DO-1624 enables fast and deterministic output control for applications such as emergency shutdown (ESD), fire & gas systems, and critical process automation. The module’s compact form factor allows easy installation in standard system racks, while advanced fault detection capabilities help maintain system integrity and reduce downtime.

FAQ
-
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel?
Each channel can deliver up to 0.5 A continuously. -
How is channel isolation implemented?
Each output is optically and galvanically isolated at 1500 Vrms to prevent cross-channel interference. -
Can the module detect a short-circuit condition on an output?
Yes, it provides built-in short-circuit detection and reports faults to the control system. -
What is the typical switching response time?
Less than 1 ms for rapid actuation. -
Does the FS-DO-1624 support hot-swapping?
Yes, it can be replaced while the system remains powered, with no disruption to other modules. -
What type of loads can be driven by the outputs?
The solid-state outputs can drive DC solenoids, relays, lamps, and other resistive or inductive loads. -
Is there internal surge protection?
Yes, integrated suppression protects against voltage spikes and transients. -
How is module addressing configured?
Addressing is handled automatically through the FS Series controller backplane—no manual switch settings required. -
What communication protocol is used to interface with the controller?
It communicates over the FS Series high-speed system bus for deterministic updates. -
