Main features and advantages:
A key strength of the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824is its exceptional relay performance and timing accuracy. The 8 timed relay outputs offer microsecond-level synchronization, ensuring that coordinated actions—such as the simultaneous activation of multiple valves in a filling process—occur with minimal skew, reducing product waste and improving process consistency. Each relay contact is rated for 5 A at 250 V AC, allowing the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824 to directly control small to medium-sized motors and actuators without the need for intermediate contactors, simplifying system design. Hardware-wise, the module features a rugged design with arc-suppression circuitry, extending relay life by minimizing contact wear during switching. Its compact form factor, measuring 150 mm in width, allows for easy installation in crowded control cabinets, while its modular construction enables quick replacement of individual relay modules if needed.
Reliability and diagnostic capabilities are central to the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824’s design. It includes built-in monitoring of relay contacts, continuously checking for welds, excessive resistance, or coil failures, and providing real-time alerts to the controller if issues are detected. The module’s time-synchronization feature, using IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), ensures that relay actions are coordinated across the entire system, critical for applications such as synchronized shutdowns in emergency situations. The HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824 also supports manual override functionality, allowing operators to actuate relays locally for troubleshooting or maintenance without disrupting the overall control system. Like other Honeywell modules, it supports hot-swapping, enabling replacement during operation to minimize downtime—a vital feature in 24/7 production environments.

FC-TSRO-0824
Application areas:
In industrial processes where precise control of rotational equipment and on/off devices is critical to maintaining production efficiency and safety, a versatile relay output module becomes indispensable. Imagine a large-scale manufacturing plant where 8 variable speed motors power conveyor systems, each requiring precise start/stop commands and overload protection to prevent jams and equipment damage. Or a chemical processing facility with 24 solenoid valves regulating the flow of raw materials, where timely actuation ensures accurate batch mixing and prevents hazardous chemical reactions. These are the scenarios where the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824 excels, serving as a reliable control hub in industrial automation systems. Used in industrial automation setups ranging from automotive assembly lines to food processing plants, the HONEYWELLFC-TSRO-0824 is engineered to convert digital control signals into robust relay outputs, enabling seamless operation of motors, valves, and alarms. It’s particularly valuable in applications where a combination of high current handling and precise timing is required, such as in packaging machinery or material handling systems. The HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824 addresses the challenge of integrating diverse electromechanical devices into a unified control system, ensuring consistent and responsive operation in dynamic industrial environments.

Installation and maintenance:
Before installing the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824, ensure the mounting rail is securely fastened and properly grounded to minimize electrical noise, which can affect time synchronization accuracy. Verify that the control cabinet has sufficient depth (at least 250 mm) to accommodate the module and connected wiring without strain on relay terminals. When wiring the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824 to external devices, use appropriately sized conductors (14–22 AWG) based on the load current, and ensure connections are tight to prevent voltage drops. For time-critical applications, connect the module to a dedicated IEEE 1588 PTP grandmaster clock to maintain ±1 µs synchronization across the system. Label each relay output clearly with the connected device and function to simplify troubleshooting and system testing.
For maintenance, schedule quarterly inspections of the HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824’s relay contacts using Honeywell’s Relay Test Tool, which measures contact resistance and actuation time to identify worn relays. Conduct monthly visual inspections to check for signs of overheating (discoloration) on terminal blocks, which can indicate loose connections or overloaded outputs. Use the Experion PKS software to run relay performance reports semi-annually, monitoring for increasing actuation delays or inconsistent response times—these may indicate failing relays or power supply issues. The HONEYWELL FC-TSRO-0824 allows for individual relay module replacement without removing the entire unit from the DIN rail, reducing maintenance downtime. With proper care, the module is engineered to provide reliable service for 10+ years, with relay contacts rated for 100,000+ operations under full load.
