1. Description
The Trusted
TM
40 Channel Analogue Output or Digital Output FTA T8850 provides termination for a
maximum of 40 output field loops. The 40 channels are arranged in five groups each comprising eight
identical channels. Figure 2 below shows the configuration of two channels within a group.
Figure 2 Two Channel Schematic
Indication of of the presence of the field power supply is provided by a green LED (one for each power
group). The supply is then fed to each channel within the power group.
The signal to the field device is fed directly from the output module.
The cable linking the 40 channels on the output module to the FTA is terminated at the 96-way socket
SK1. SmartSlot (Version 1) signals from the module are connected to SK1. The dc field power
supplies can be connected to the FTA via a 10-way terminal block PWR TB. The output signals to the
field (40-off) are connected by 2-wire arrangements terminated on the dual height terminal blocks.
