Honeywell FC-DCOM-232/485 Communication FTA Module

The FC-DCOM-232/485 is a communication FTA (Field Termination Assembly) module designed for use in Safety Manager (SM) systems, enabling both RS-232 and RS-485 communication with various devices, including SM-SM SafeNet and third-party equipment. This module is critical for safe, reliable communication in industrial control and automation systems.

Key Features:

Dual Communication Interfaces: Supports both RS-232 and RS-485/422 communication, offering versatility in different system setups.
RS-232 Preference: This FTA is the preferred choice for RS-232 communication, offering compatibility with a wide range of devices.
Redundant Configuration: The communication FTA can be powered by one or a redundant pair of Control Processors (no separate power supply needed).
Grounding: The module requires connection to earth ground for proper shielding and safety.
Flexible Baud Rate Options: The module supports baud rates from 0-250 kBaud for RS-232 and 0-2 MBaud for RS-485/422 (transparent, FM0, FM1, or Manchester coded).
Mounting: It has a universal snap-in provision for DIN EN rails (TS32 / TS35 × 7.5).
