The Honeywell FC-BSAI-1620mE is a high-performance 16-channel analog input converter module designed for industrial automation systems. As part of Honeywell’s Field Control series, this module provides reliable signal conversion from 0-25mA current loops to 0-4.1V voltage signals for precise process monitoring.
Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the FC-BSAI-1620mE features galvanic isolation between channels and built-in signal conditioning for noise rejection. Its compact design makes it ideal for space-constrained installations while maintaining Honeywell’s stringent reliability standards for continuous process industries. The module serves as a critical interface between field instruments and control systems in Honeywell’s distributed control architecture.
