ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
The 40-channel T8801 Trusted
TM
Field
Termination Assembly (FTA) is the primary
interface between the Trusted
TM
TMR 24V dc
Digital Input module and the field device
(wiring) loop. The model T8801 is designed
for use in non-incendive applications. The
FTA is supplied with 220- loop current
limiting resistors
The FTA is made up of several components:
the interface cable connector and hood lock,
loop power distribution, current limiting
resistors, and field input terminations.
To reduce integration time, the interface cable
which connects the FTA and its I/O module is
pre-assembled and fitted with a pair of
specialized hoods. These hoods are used to
secure the cable in place. The FTA hood fits
into the metal slot retainer shown in the
illustration at left.
To facilitate the need for on-line
replacement of an unhealthy I/O
module, the interface cable is designed
to provide the user with two different
methods for on-line maintenance. The
first method involves the use of a dual
connector hood. The dual connectors
allocate an adjacent slot in the
Trusted
TM
chassis for a hot-replacement
module. Refer to Figure 1 below for
more details regarding a dedicated
spare slot approach.
The second method of hot replacement
uses a “one-to-many” approach. This
feature is called the SmartSlot Link
(SSL). The SSL furnishes the method
to use a single I/O module slot as a hot
replacement slot. This configuration
reduces I/O chassis space by using a
single slot for hot replacement of all
modules of that type. In this case the I/O
cable has a second socket on the back
of the module end for connecting a
cable to the hot replacement slot.
