Safety

All safety information, notes and instructions specified in this document must be strictly observed. The product may only be used if all guidelines and safety instructions are adhered to.This product is operated with SELV or PELV. No imminent risk results from the product itself.The use in Ex-Zone is permitted if additional measures are taken.

2.1 Intended Use

HIMatrix components are designed for assembling safety-related controller systems.

When using the components in the HIMatrix system, comply with the following general

requirements.

2.2 Environmental Requirements

Residual Risk No imminent risk results from a HIMatrix system itself.

Residual risk may result from:

1. Faults related to engineering

2. Faults related to the user program

3. Faults related to the wiring

2.3 Safety Precautions ，Observe all local safety requirements and use the protective equipment required on site.

2.4 Emergency Information

A HIMatrix system is a part of the safety equipment of a site. If a device or a module fails, the system enters the safe state.In case of emergency, no action that may prevent the HIMatrix systems from operating safely is permitted.

Product Description：

The safety-related F31 02 controller is a compact system in a metal housing with 20 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs.

The controller is available in various model variants for SILworX and ELOP II Factory, see Table 4.

The device is suitable for mounting in Ex-zone 2, see Chapter 4.1.4.

The device is TÜV-certified for safety-related applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508, IEC 61511 and IEC 62061), Cat. 4 and PL e (EN ISO 13849-1) and SIL 4 (EN 50126, EN 50128 and EN 50129). Further safety standards, application standards and test standards are specified in the certificates available on the HIMA website.

3.1 Safety Function 

The controller is equipped with safety-related digital inputs and outputs.

3.2 Safety-Related Digital Inputs

The controller is equipped with 20 digital inputs. The state (HIGH, LOW) of each input is signaled by an individual LED.Mechanical contacts without own power supply or signal power source can be connected to the inputs.

Potential-free mechanical contacts without own power supply are fed via an internal shortcircuit-proof 24 V power source (LS+). Each of them supply a group of 4 mechanical contacts.

Figure 1 shows how the connection is performed.With signal voltage sources, the corresponding ground must be connected to the input (L-),

3.3 Reaction in the Event of a Fault

If the device detects a fault on a digital input, the user program processes a low level in accordance with the de-energized to trip principle.The device activates the FAULT LED.In addition to the channel signal value, the user program must also consider the corresponding error code.The error code allows the user to configure additional fault reactions in the user program.

3.4 Line Control

Line control is used to detect short-circuits or open-circuits and can be configured for the F31 system, e.g., on EMERGENCY STOP inputs complying with Cat. 4 and PL e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.To this end, connect the digital outputs DO 1 through DO 8 of the system to the digital inputs DI of the same system as follows:

The controller pulses the digital outputs to detect the line short-circuits and open-circuits on the lines connected to the digital inputs. To do so, configure the Value [BOOL] -> system variable in SILworX or the DO[01].Value system signal in ELOP II Factory. The variables for the pulsed outputs must begin with channel 1 and reside in direct sequence, one after the other.If the following faults occur, the FAULT LED located on the front plate of the controller blinks,the inputs are set to low level and an (evaluable) error code is created:
