FC-BSDOL-04UNI | Honeywell | Range-Setting Module

The Honeywell FC-BSDOL-04UNI, also cataloged as the FC-BSDOL-04UNI Range-Setting Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for direct mounting on IO backplane programming connectors to calibrate four loop-monitored output channels within Honeywell Safety Manager SC systems.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol & Channel Isolation

The module provides channel-to-channel isolation to prevent electrical cross-talk and earth loop transients across its four output paths. Integrated signal-conditioning networks allow clean pass-through for 4-20 mA HART loop protocol telemetry without introducing phase distortion into field actuators or safety loops. High galvanic isolation barriers protect the backplane programming connector (Px) interface against voltage spikes, maintaining precise analog output loop resistance settings across wide operating temperature shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where does the FC-BSDOL-04UNI mount within the control cabinet frame?

A: The module mounts directly onto the programming connector (Px) located on the IO backplane assembly.

Q: How is diagnostic data transmitted from the module to the processor?

A: Diagnostic and range configuration data are communicated via an integrated RS-485 serial communication interface.

Q: What is the maximum power consumption drawn by the module?

A: Total continuous power consumption remains under 5 W at nominal 24 VDC supply voltage.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Disconnect backplane system power before seating or removing the module from the connector.
2. Align the module pins precisely with the backplane programming connector (Px) to prevent mechanical pin deformation.
3. Ensure the module is fully seated and locked into position to establish low-resistance electrical contact.
4. Route RS-485 serial communication lines in shielded twisted pairs away from high-voltage distribution wiring.
5. Verify that field wiring shields are grounded to the primary enclosure earth rail to optimize EMI immunity.
