Safety Manager Field Device Unit

The Safety Manager Field Device Unit (FDU) is a combination of Safety Manager and Remote Universal Safety I/O into a
compact unit that meets safety standards for Safety Integrity Level three (SIL-3) out of the box, reducing start-up and lifecycle
costs for smaller applications.
With safety standards continuing to grow and expand, having a

even if they dont require complete safety offerings.

Device Unit (FDU) offers a flexible, configurable solution that

provides operational safety in any industry. The system is
targeted for many different applications such as burner or boiler
management systems, and upstream oil and gas projects.
