Product Description
The HIMA X-COM 01 (985260000) is a high-speed communication module designed specifically for the HIMax safety-related controller system. It serves as the primary gateway for transmitting safety-critical and non-safety-critical data between HIMax racks or to external systems.
The module utilizes HIMA’s proprietary safeethernet protocol, allowing for SIL 3 certified communication over standard Ethernet infrastructure. Its “Non-Interference” design ensures that even if communication with a third-party DCS or SCADA system is interrupted, the core safety functions of the HIMax controller remain unaffected.
Application Areas
- Safe System Interconnection: Linking multiple HIMax controllers across a plant to create a unified safety network.
- DCS Integration: Providing real-time process data to Distributed Control Systems (e.g., Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion) via Modbus TCP or PROFINET.
- Emergency Shutdown (ESD): Handling high-speed communication for safety loops in oil, gas, and chemical refineries.
- Fire and Gas (F&G): Transmitting detector status and alarm data to centralized monitoring stations.
Product Specifications
- Weight: 0.75 kg
- Dimensions: 40.5 mm x 240 mm x 175 mm (Occupies 1 slot in HIMax Base Plate)
- Country of Origin: Germany
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C
- Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
Operating Precautions
- Redundancy Configuration: For maximum availability, X-COM 01 modules should be installed in redundant pairs. The HIMax system handles the switchover automatically without interrupting safety communication.
- Cyber Security: Use the physical “Lock” switch or software-based write protection to prevent unauthorized changes to the communication parameters during runtime.
- Cable Selection: Use shielded Category 6 (CAT6) cables for Gigabit Ethernet connections to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in high-interference industrial environments.
- Module Exchange: The X-COM 01 supports “Hot Swapping.” However, ensure the system’s “Force” or “Bypass” status is verified before removal to prevent nuisance alarms in the connected SCADA system.
