HIMA HIMatrix F35 safety-related F35 controller

The safety-related F35 controller is a compact system located in a metal enclosure with 24digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 2 counters and 8 analog inputs
The controller is available in 3 model variants for SILworX and 3 model variants forELOP II Factory
The device is suitable for mounting in Ex-zone 2
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 thecertificate available on the HIMA website.

Safety-Related Digital InputsThe controller is equipped with 24 digital inputs. The state (HIGH, LOW) of each input issignaled by an individual LED.The input signals are captured as analog measurements and provided to the program as arange of INT values from 0...3000 (0...30 V). Configurable thresholds are used to generateBOOL values, see Table 26The default setting is:Low level: < 7 V High level: > 13 V The thresholds are set using system parameters taking the safety-related accuracy intoaccount

The HIMA HIMatrix F35 is a compact, programmable safety-related controller designed for industrial applications requiring high reliability and safety. The F35 is part of the HIMatrix series, known for safety and automation applications in industries such as process automation, transportation, and energy.
