Description
HIMA F2201 Ethernet
Product Dimensions:
HIMA, a global leader in safety-related automation solutions, integrates high-speed Ethernet communication into its safety controllers (such as the HIMax and HIMatrix systems). These solutions allow for seamless, “Non-Stop” safety communication across industrial plants while maintaining the highest integrity levels.
1. Product Description
HIMA Ethernet solutions primarily focus on safe communication between controllers and peripheral devices. This is achieved through the proprietary safeethernet protocol. Unlike standard Ethernet, safeethernet is a TÜV-certified protocol that transmits safety-related data over standard Ethernet infrastructure (IEEE 802.3) up to SIL 3 requirements.
It allows for:
-
Controller-to-Controller (C2C) communication.
-
Remote I/O integration.
-
Integration with PC-based engineering tools (SILworX).
2. Technical Parameters
While specific parameters depend on the hardware module (e.g., COM modules for HIMax or integrated ports on HIMatrix), general technical specifications include:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Protocol | safeethernet (based on TCP/UDP/IP) |
| Safety Integrity Level | Up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508) |
| Transmission Rate | 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Full Duplex) |
| Response Time | Typically < 10ms (system dependent) |
| Connection Type | RJ45 or Fiber Optic (via SFP modules) |
| Max. Cable Length | 100m (Copper), up to 40km (Fiber) |
| Network Topology | Star, Line, or Redundant Ring |
3. Product Advantages
-
Certified Safety: Enables SIL 3 communication over the same network used for standard data, reducing wiring costs.
-
High Availability: Supports redundant network architectures. If one path fails, the safety system switches to the secondary path without interrupting the process.
-
Scalability: Allows for the easy addition of remote I/O or additional controllers without significant hardware changes.
-
Interoperability: Supports industrial standards like PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP for easy integration with non-safety DCS or PLCs.
-
Speed: Offers some of the fastest safety reaction times in the industry, crucial for high-speed emergency shutdowns.
4. Important Considerations (Precautions)
-
Cybersecurity: Since Ethernet is an open standard, HIMA systems must be protected by firewalls and unidirectional gateways to prevent unauthorized access.
-
Network Loading: High traffic on a shared network can cause latency. It is recommended to use VLANs or physically separate safety networks for critical applications.
-
Cable Quality: Always use shielded (STP/FTP) Cat5e or Cat6 cables in high-EMC industrial environments to prevent data corruption.
-
Configuration: All safety-related communication must be configured and validated within the SILworX engineering tool to ensure SIL compliance.
5. Product Applications
HIMA Ethernet modules are used in demanding industries where safety is non-negotiable:
-
Oil & Gas: Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) and Fire & Gas (F&G) systems for offshore platforms and refineries.
-
Chemical/Petrochemical: High-pressure protection and burner management systems (BMS).
-
Railways: SIL 4 signaling and interlocking systems (using specialized HIMatrix systems).
-
Energy: Turbine control and protection in power plants.
