The HIMatrix series of safety-related controllers is an advanced PLC platform launched by the German company HIMA, specifically designed for various safety-critical applications. The following is a detailed introduction:

• High Safety Level: It complies with the SIL 3 (or higher) safety level standard, and some systems reach the SIL 4 standard. At the same time, it has passed a variety of high-standard certifications such as CENELEC SIL 3 and PL e (Category 4), which can provide a high level of safety performance and is suitable for application scenarios with strict safety requirements.
• Fast Response: Equipped with a high-performance processor, the response time of the background architecture is less than 10 milliseconds. It can quickly process a large amount of input and output data, ensuring rapid response of the system in application scenarios with stringent time requirements.
• Strong Communication Capability: It supports a variety of industrial network protocols, such as Safety Ethernet, Profibus-DP master & slave, OPC, Modbus RTU/TCP master & slave, Send & Receive TCP, Ethernet/IP, Interbus master, etc. It can interact with other safety-related devices through multiple interfaces such as Ethernet, making it convenient for integration with devices from different manufacturers.
• Convenient Programming: The application software ELoP II factory or SILworX engineering tool can be used to achieve convenient module drag-and-drop programming. The mouse drag-and-drop operation is intuitive and simple, enabling faster verification and debugging.
• Modular Design: The modular structure makes the installation and maintenance of the system more convenient. Various control and remote I/O modules have a compact structure and can be flexibly configured and expanded according to actual needs.
• Strong Anti-interference Ability: It has a high anti-interference ability. With multiple redundancies, fail-safe design, and extremely strict testing standards, it ensures stable operation in harsh industrial environments.

• Implementation of Safety Functions: Various safety functions, such as emergency stop and interlock, are realized through safety logic, which can ensure the safety of the production process and prevent accidents from occurring.
• Monitoring and Control: It can collect analog signals of process variables, such as temperature, pressure, etc., and output control signals to control actuators, such as valves, motors, etc.

• HIMA F35: It is a high-performance safety-related controller. It integrates multiple functions such as digital input and output, analog input, and counter. It has 24 digital input channels, 8 digital output channels, and 8 analog input channels, and the operating voltage is 24VDC.
• HIMA F3 DIO 16/8 01: It has 16 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels.
• HIMA F3 DIO 20/8 02: It has 20 digital input channels and 8 digital output channels. It is a compact metal shell system with a static error rate of only 1%. It has a wide speed regulation range, a fast dynamic response process, and also has an overload protection function.

• Chemical and Petrochemical Industries: It is used to control and monitor complex chemical production processes, petroleum refining processes, etc., to ensure the safety and stability of the production process.
• Offshore Oil Platforms: As a safety control system, it conducts safety monitoring and protection of various equipment and process flows on the platform.
• Long-distance Pipelines and Oil & Gas Stations: It guarantees the safety of the oil and gas transportation process and realizes the monitoring and control of parameters such as pipeline pressure and flow.
• Metallurgical and Building Materials Industries: In the processes of metal smelting and building materials production, it provides safety protection and control for key equipment and process flows.
• Automobile Manufacturing Industry: It is used for safety control on automobile production lines, such as safety protection for robot operations and automated conveying systems.
• Transportation Industry: For example, in rail transit, it conducts safety control on the signal system, vehicle control system, etc., to ensure the safe operation of transportation.
