Product Description

The X-COM 01 communication module is intended for use in the programmable electronic

system (PES) HIMax.

The module is inserted into any of the base plate slots with the exception of the slots reserved

for system bus modules. For more information, refer to the System Manual (HI 801 001 E).

The module is approved for use in the safety-related HIMax system and can be used to

transport safety-related protocols.

The module ensures communication with systems via Ethernet and fieldbus interfaces with

safeethernet and different standard protocols.

Processor System

The processor system uses self tests to control and monitor the communication.

Data is exchanged between the communication module and the processor module

is carried out via redundant system bus. The system bus has a redundant structure

for reasons of availability. Redundancy is only ensured if both system bus modules

are inserted in the base plates and configured accordingly.

Operating system and error code history are stored in a non-volatile memory and

can be read in SILworX via the diagnosis.

Ethernet Switch

Integrated Ethernet switch to configure different networks.

Ethernet interface

The communication module is equipped with four Ethernet switch ports connected to the

Ethernet interface of the processor system via an integrated Ethernet switch.
