HIMA HIMax COM Module Part Number

Safety Function

No safety function is performed by the communication module.

Reaction in the Event of a Fault

If fault occur, the module enters the temporary ERROR STOP. The module is then rebooted

and restarted from the INIT state.

No process data is exchanged with external communication partners in the ERROR STOP

state. No process data is transferred to process module.

HIMax COM Module Part Number

Each COM module forms a functional unit with the X-CB 001 02 connector board. Note that the

connector board must be separately purchased.

The fieldbus submodules are optional and must be mounted by the manufacturer. The fieldbus

submodule is selected when ordering the controller using the part number. Additionally, the

protocols used must be activated.

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.

HIMA X-COM 01 communication module

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.

HIMA X-DI 64 01 The module evaluates the digital input signals

Safety Function

The module evaluates the digital input signals and provides them to the user program.

The safety function is performed in accordance with SIL 3.

Reaction in the Event of a Fault

If a fault occurs, the module adopts the safe state and the assigned input variables transmit

the initial value (default value = 0) to the user program.

The initial values must be set to 0 to ensure that the input variables transmit the value 0 to

the user program if a fault occurs.

The module activates the Error LED on the front plate.

Scope of Delivery

The module must be installed on a suitable connector board to be able to operate. If a FTA

is used, a system cable is required to connect the connector board to the FTA. Connector

boards, system cables and FTAs are not included within the scope of delivery.

The connector boards are described in Chapter 3.6. the system cables are described in

Chapter 3.7. The FTAs are described in own manuals.

HIMA X-DI 64 01 digital input module

Introduction

The present manual describes the technical characteristics of the module and its use. It

provides information on how to install, start up and configure the module in SILworX.

Product Description

The X-DI 64 01 digital input module is intended for use in the programmable electronic

system (PES) HIMax.

The module can be inserted in 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 used to evaluate up to 64 digital input signals. The digital inputs are current

sinking logic for 24 VDC signals in accordance with type 3 specified in the IEC 61131-2.

The module 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).

used to test and certify the modules and the HIMax system.

HIMA X-CPU 01 Processor Module Function

The following elements also contribute to the safety function:

Hardware self-test

Safe communication with I/O modules

Reaction in the event of a fault

If the test harness detects a fault, the processor module enters the ERROR STOP state and restarts.

Diagnostic information is available to find the cause of the fault.

Start-up after error stop

If the cause of the fault still exists, the processor module avoids restarting and repeating the error stop:

After the first error stop, the processor module reboots normally and switches to system operation.

After the second error stop, the user must reboot the system using PADT after troubleshooting.

After the processor module has been running in system operation for approximately one minute,

the next error stop will be considered as the first error stop.

Scope of delivery

The module must be mounted on a suitable connection board to operate.

An Ethernet cable is required to connect the PADT.

The connection board and Ethernet cable are not included in the scope of delivery of the module.
