HIMA F3215A Controller

Product Dimensions：

HIMA (HIMA Paul Hildebrandt GmbH) is a world-leading specialist in safety-critical automation solutions. Their controllers are synonymous with “High Availability” and “Functional Safety,” primarily used to protect people, assets, and the environment in the process industry.

The most prominent current line is the HIMax and HIMatrix series.

1. Product Description

HIMA controllers are Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) designed specifically for safety applications up to SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) according to IEC 61508. Unlike standard PLCs, HIMA uses a “Safeethernet” protocol and specialized hardware redundancy to ensure that a single component failure does not lead to a loss of safety functions or unnecessary plant shutdowns.

2. Key Product Parameters (HIMax Series)

While specific parameters vary by module, the HIMax system generally follows these specifications:

3. Product Advantages

• Uninterrupted Operation: HIMA is famous for its “Non-Stop” concept. You can replace modules, perform firmware updates, and even modify the application program while the plant is running without tripping the safety system.

• Scalability: The hardware is modular. You can start with a small system and expand it to a large-scale plant-wide safety network.

• Independence: HIMA provides an independent safety layer that can integrate with any Distributed Control System (DCS) like Honeywell, Emerson, or Siemens.

• Maximum Availability: By using redundancy, the system prevents “nuisance trips,” ensuring the plant stays productive while remaining safe.

4. Important Considerations (Precautions)

• Certified Engineering: Programming must be done using the SILworX configuration tool. Only certified safety engineers should modify safety logic.

• Proof Testing: Although HIMA systems have high diagnostic coverage, periodic “Proof Tests” are required to maintain the SIL rating over the lifetime of the plant.

• Cybersecurity: Ensure the safety network is physically or logically isolated from the business network to prevent cyber-attacks from affecting safety functions.

• Environmental Protection: Ensure the control cabinet meets the required IP rating, especially in corrosive environments (e.g., using G3 conformal coating).

5. Product Applications

HIMA controllers are utilized in industries where a failure could result in catastrophic consequences:

• Emergency Shutdown (ESD): Automatically shutting down a process in an emergency.

• Fire & Gas (F&G): Monitoring detectors and activating fire suppression systems.

• Burner Management Systems (BMS): Ensuring safe ignition and operation of industrial furnaces and boilers.

• High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS): Protecting pipelines from overpressure.

• Turbomachinery Control (TMC): Protecting high-speed turbines and compressors from overspeed.
