Product Overview
The HIMA F3 AIO 8/4 01 is a safety-related Remote I/O module that is part of the HIMatrix system, certified for applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508 / IEC 61511) and SIL 4 (EN 50126/28/29). Housed in a compact IP20-rated enclosure, this module offers 8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs and communicates via safeethernet with a central HIMax or HIMatrix controller. It is ideal for applications in demanding safety environments, including railway systems, chemical plants, and Ex Zone 2 environments.
The analog inputs are fully safety-rated, while the analog outputs are non-safety-related but can be configured for safety using output monitoring logic.
