Connection of the IO bus between the I/O subracks,to the central rack and to the PES coupling module Standard lengths: 0.5 m and 1.0 m Special lengths up to 30 m

Fully integration capable

HIMA continuously tests all options for integrating HIMax in the leading control systems, thoroughly documents the results and develops efficient, pre-tested configurations.

Irrespective of the process control system in use, the customers will be able to fully benefit from all the advantages offered by HIMax. DCS SIS integration is achieved through high-capacity, cross-manufacturer communication standards.

HIMA's DCS specialists have the required integrations know-how and make sure that all features wished by the customers will be implemented:

1 Integration of alarms and events into the alarm management of the DCS

2 Integration of faceplates for operating and monitoring

3 Transfer and visualisation of diagnostic data

4 Transfer and visualisation of process data and safetyrelated locking states

5 Timestamp transfer

6 Maintenance overwrite switch (MOS)

6Partial stroke test (PST)

7 Start-up bypass (SUB)

Flexible nonstop system solution

HIMax is a flexible SIL 3 platform designed for critical production processes that can never afford to go down.

HIMax adapts to all I/O count, response-time and faulttolerance requirements as well as centralized or distributed applications. Yet it always delivers maximum plant availability and future-proof flexibility.

1 Two different CPU modules with optimized performance accordance with the required number of I/Os

2 XMR architecture: scalable redundancy for operation in quad, triple (TMR), dual and single modes

3 Unlimited change and expansion of hardware and software, including operating systems, while the system is running

4 Multitasking operations: Separate applications independently executed in the same processor module

Maximizing availability as needed

HIMax is designed to maximize plant availability and therefore improve productivity. Key to this promise is HIMax’s revolutionary XMR architecture. XMR combines the best of

all existing safety architectures. As the X in “XMR” can represent values from 1 to 4, HIMax offers unprecedented levels of redundancy and fault-tolerance at constant maximum safety (SIL 3).The results are “available for life” safety solutions with no single point of failure. Even multiple failures will not trigger a shutdown. Replace the faulty module online - at any time and without restrictions. HIMax need not be shutdown, even when upgrading software or hardware, or performing maintenance.

The world’s most advanced

safety application manager

SILworX is HIMA’s easy-to-use, fully integrated configuration,programming and diagnostic environment. Its state-of-the art interface with drag&drop programming helps users

avoid mistakes and speeds up the engineering process. Different levels of user guidance, clear display of all status and diagnostic information and comprehensive validation

tools help engineers achieve safe applications.

Redundant networking via safeethernet

All of the necessary parameters such as IP address, network mask, routes and standard gateway can be setup in accordance with the Ethernet standard.

1 SIL 3

2 Data transmission at 1 GBit/s

3 Fast response times, even for networked applications

4 No limitations on physical separation

5 Use of standard Ethernet functionalities

6 Use of any transmission media

7 Networking of up to 255 systems in each project

8 Up to 64 connections (each up to 1100 Byte) between two systems

9 Any infrastructure

10 Intelligent, diverse redundancy concepts and reload functionality for uninterrupted system operation

Performance pays off：

HIMax is the most powerful safety platform ever invented. Its unprecedented performance is based on high-performance components and smart system architectures.

1 Cycle time of 50 ms with 1,000 I/Os(split 50% analog/digital)

2 Unlimited complex calculations

3 Impact of calculation of 1,000 PIDs on cycle time: 10 ms

4 Signal conditioning directly on I/O modules with no impact on CPU performance

5 Up to 2,048 I/Os per cabinet

6 A system with up to 12,800 I/Os

7 Up to 200 I/Os in up to 16 racks per system

8 250 systems per network

9 Multitasking: Set fixed scan times for dedicated applications

10 Sequence of event (SOE), 1 ms resolution quality

Greater efficiency through simulation

The X-OTS HIMax Safety Simulator adds the aspects of safety to the classical OTS (Operator Training System).X-OTS is based on HIMA’s programming tool SILworX and a corresponding number of extended soft PLCs. Each HIMax controller will be simulated by one soft PLC. Up to 10 soft PLCs can be run on one PC (performance depending).

1 Application software can be checked in real scenarios prior to commissioning, leading to shorter commissioning times

2 Shorter commissioning times lead to an earlier plant start up

3 Application software can already be optimized prior to start up, leading to a higher plant efficiency already at start-up (instead of optimizing in the running plant)

4 Avoiding of plant trips by improved behaviour of operators

Online expandability

In case of expanding the update is written to a second memory area, after which the system switches seamlessly to the update.This method of intelligent memory management ensures that the controller is always operational regardless of whether it is mono or redundant. There is no limit to the number of times a program can be reloaded during operation. Even operating systems can be updated during operation. I/O modules, their associated connector boards, base plates and remote components can also be added during operation.The same applies to new base plates and remote components.
