Product Overview
The Honeywell FTA-T-14 is a Fail-Safe Digital Output Field Termination Assembly (FTA) engineered for use in safety-critical industrial control systems. Designed specifically for compatibility with Honeywell’s Safety Manager and FSC (Fail Safe Controller) platforms, this module enables safe, deterministic, and reliable actuation of field devices in response to logic-driven digital output commands.
The FTA-T-14 is structured to ensure fail-safe operation, meaning that outputs will default to a safe state in the event of a system failure or power loss. This feature is essential for applications in process safety systems, where the safe operation of actuators, relays, and control valves can protect both personnel and infrastructure.
