The output of FIC 101 is an electrical signal to TY101 located in an inaccessible or behind-the-panel-board location
Example P&ID
Square root extraction of the nput signal is part of FIC 101s unctionality. y
FT101 is a field-mounted flow ransmitter connected via electrical signals g ( (dotted line) ) to low indicating controller FIC101 located in a control panel
TIC 101 101s output t ti is connected t d via an internal software or data link (line with bubbles) to the setpoint (SP) of FIC101 t f form a cascade d control t l strategy
The output signal from TY101 s a pneumatic signal (line with double forward slash marks) making TY101 an I/P (current o pneumatic transducer)
