Product Introduction
The Honeywell FS-SAO-0220M is a high-performance Safety Analog Output module engineered specifically for use in safety-critical process automation systems. As part of Honeywell’s Fail-Safe Controller (FSC) family, the FS-SAO-0220M provides dual-channel isolated analog output capability, ensuring redundancy and integrity in applications requiring SIL-rated safety systems. This module is designed to interface seamlessly with field actuators and final control elements such as valves, variable speed drives, and other analog-controlled instruments.
Its robust design and precise signal processing capabilities make it suitable for use in industries such as oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals, and power generation, where compliance with stringent safety standards (such as IEC 61508 and ISA S84) is critical.
