Product Description
Product Overview
The HIMA F8628X is a Communication Module designed for use in HIMA safety-related control systems, such as the H41q/H51q or HIMatrix series. This module enables the HIMA controller to operate as a Profibus DP slave, facilitating communication with external systems like PLCs, SCADA, or HMIs. Additionally, it supports ELOP II TCP programming over Ethernet (from OS version 4.x), enhancing data exchange between the controller and a programming PC (PADT). It is typically deployed in industrial safety applications, such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation, where reliable communication is critical for achieving safety integrity levels up to SIL 3.
