Honeywell FC-TIDI-1624 Isolated passive Digital Input Module

The Honeywell FC-TIDI-1624 is a high-performance Isolated Passive Digital Input Module, specifically engineered for robust and reliable industrial automation applications. Part of the Honeywell Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) or PlantScape family, this module is designed to ensure safe and secure collection of digital input signals in critical control systems.

Built with galvanic isolation and high noise immunity, the FC-TIDI-1624 is ideal for interfacing field signals from various sensors and switches to the central controller. It supports passive digital input signals, meaning it detects voltage levels from external sources without supplying power to the field devices. It is often deployed in systems requiring safe signal interfacing in harsh industrial environments such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and manufacturing plants.

With a robust build, easy installation, and high reliability, the FC-TIDI-1624 ensures that no signal is lost or corrupted, contributing to the integrity and availability of the overall control system.
