Honeywell System Interconnection Cable | FS-SICC-0001/L20

The Honeywell FS-SICC-0001/L20, also cataloged as the FS-SICC-0001 System Interconnection Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for signal routing between Safety Manager I/O modules and Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs) within Honeywell Safety Manager platforms.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol and Channel-to-Channel Isolation

The 20-meter cable assembly utilizes multi-conductor shielded conductors designed to maintain physical channel-to-channel isolation between individual signal lines. The high-density outer shield prevents external electromagnetic interference and common-mode noise from distorting low-level discrete safety signals and 4-20 mA HART loop protocol telemetry transmitted between field termination assemblies and central controller cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What specific interface connections are provided on the FS-SICC-0001/L20 assembly?

A: The cable is terminated with a dedicated I/O module connector on one end and a 20-pin Field Termination Assembly (FTA) connector on the opposite end.

Q: Can the cable assembly be disconnected during active Safety Manager system execution?

A: Disconnecting the cable interrupts active field I/O channels tied to that specific FTA; live removal should only be performed when the corresponding loop or redundant channel is bypassed.

Q: How does the cable construction maintain signal fidelity over the 20 meter span?

A: Integrated shielding minimizes capacitive coupling and signal attenuation across the 20 m length, ensuring consistent voltage threshold detection at the I/O interface.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Route the 20 meter cable through dedicated cable trays or wire ducts, keeping clear of AC power cables and variable frequency drive output wiring.
• Align the 20-pin connector with the mating FTA header socket and press firmly until mechanical retaining clips engage fully.
• Maintain a minimum static bend radius along the cable run to avoid pinching internal conductors or damaging the protective outer jacket.
• Verify that the cable shield drain wire is bonded to the cabinet protective earth (PE) bus at a single ground point to prevent ground potential loops.
