Category: HIMA

The HIJunctionBox comes pre-configured and tested. The various assembly options for

inputs and outputs deliver a high level of flexibility. Communication with the SIS occurs via

fiber-optic cables. The HIJunctionBox can therefore be quickly and simply integrated into

existing systems. The requirements of your plant determine whether you use HIMax or

HIMatrix components.

Key Benefits

• Reduced hardware costs:

Marshalling cabinets and a significant amount of cables from the field to the SIS are not required.

• Reduced infrastructure  costs: The spatial require- ments in the control center are minimized,

requiring fewer cable routes and less marshalling.

• Shorter FAT: Thanks to standardization and testing, the factory acceptance test is completed more

quickly.

• Simplified engineering:

The cabling effort is lower, changes to inputs and outputs can be implemented without rewiring.

• Quicker testing and troubleshooting: Testing during the operational phase is comparatively

short due to its low complexity.

Communication Features of HIQuad X

A new communication module F-COM 01 comes included with HIQuad X. It supports the consistent

HIMA security concept. With HIQuad X, you have new opportunities as well as well-known existing

communication paths. Additionally, HIQuad X increases the availability of the communication to

redundant third-party systems.

You can connect HIQuad X systems to each other via the HIMA safety protocol SafeEthernet. Also,

HIMax, HIMatrix systems and RIOs can be combined safely. To establish a safety-related connection to

existing HIQuad installations, the protocol HIPRO-S V2 is implemented in HIQuad X.

HIQuad X is a programmable electronic safety system made by HIMA. The flexible and scalable

system family is a further development of HIQuad, which has been in use within various applications

in the process industries for over 30 years.

The modernization combines tried-and-tested HIQuad I/O technology with the high-availability and

high-performance HIMax system technology. HIQuad X is programmable with SILworX, the HIMA

engineering tool. HIQuad X safety systems are installed if restrictive safety requirements must be

fulfilled – without any compromises on system availability. The safety PLC can be used on a centralized

as well as decentralized basis. A huge variety of I/O modules can be used – including intrinsically

safe SIL 3 modules.

Reaction in the Event of a Fault

If the device detects a fault on a digital input, the user program processes a low level in

accordance with the de-energized to trip principle.

The device activates the FAULT LED.

In addition to the channel signal value, the user program must also consider the

corresponding error code.

The error code allows the user to configure additional fault reactions in the user program.

Safety-Related Digital Outputs

The controller is equipped with 8 digital outputs. The state (HIGH, LOW) of each output is

signaled by an individual LED.

At the maximum ambient temperature, each of the outputs 1…3 and 5…7 can be loaded

with 0.5 A, and outputs 4 and 8 can be loaded with 1 A or 2 A at an ambient temperature of

up to 50 °C.

Product Description

The safety-related F35 controller is a compact system located in a metal enclosure with 24

digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 2 counters and 8 analog inputs.

The controller is available in 3 model variants for SILworX and 3 model variants for

ELOP II Factory, see Chapter 3.2. All variants are described in this manual.

The device is suitable for mounting in Ex-zone 2. see Chapter 4.1.5.

The device has been certified by the TÜV for safety-related applications up to SIL 3

(IEC 61508. IEC 61511 and IEC 62061), Cat. 4 (EN 954-1) and PL e (EN ISO 13849-1).

Further safety standards, application standards and test standards are specified in the

certificate available on the HIMA website.

Safety Function

The controller is equipped with safety-related digital inputs and outputs, safety-related

counters and safety-related analog inputs.

Safety-Related Digital Inputs

The controller is equipped with 24 digital inputs. The state (HIGH, LOW) of each input is

signaled by an individual LED.

The input signals are captured as analog measurements and provided to the program as a

range of INT values from 0…3000 (0…30 V). Configurable thresholds are used to generate

BOOL values, see Table 26

The default setting is:

Low level:  < 7 V

High level:  > 13 V

The thresholds are set using system parameters taking the safety-related accuracy into

account, see Table 43 and Table 44.
