Description
The HIMA X-DO 24 01 is a 24-channel digital output module designed for the HIMax safety-related programmable electronic system. Each output supports a nominal load current of up to 0.5 A at 24 VDC, making the module suitable for controlling valves, relays, contactors, lamps, and other field actuators.
The module provides integrated line monitoring for open-circuit (OC) and short-circuit (SC) conditions, with individual channel shut-off and overcurrent protection. HIMA documentation identifies the X-DO 24 01 for safety-related applications up to SIL 3, as well as Category 4 and PL e applications.

🛡️ Protection & Diagnostics
The X-DO 24 01 continuously monitors output conditions when line monitoring is configured in the HIMax system. An open circuit can be detected at low-current conditions, while short-circuit and overcurrent conditions can cause the affected channel to shut down and be cyclically reactivated.
The module outputs are not galvanically isolated from each other or from the supply voltage, so field wiring and the selected connector board should be checked carefully before installation.
🔌 Installation Notes
Before replacement, verify the module part number, hardware revision, connector-board type and HIMax configuration. HIMA specifies X-CB 009 series connector boards for this module, including single and redundant versions.
For a safety-related installation, the replacement module should be configured and validated according to the existing HIMax/SILworX project rather than treated as a simple plug-and-play I/O replacement.
❓ FAQ
Q: What system does the X-DO 24 01 belong to?
A: It is a digital output module for the HIMA HIMax programmable electronic system.
Q: How many outputs does it have?
A: 24 digital output channels.
Q: What is the output rating?
A: The nominal output rating is 0.5 A per channel at a 24 VDC system voltage.
Q: Does it support line diagnostics?
A: Yes. The module supports open-circuit and short-circuit line monitoring.
Q: Is the module safety-rated?
A: Yes. HIMA documentation identifies the X-DO 24 01 for safety-related applications up to SIL 3.
