HIMA Input/Output Module

HIMA's Input/Output (I/O) modules are integral components of its Smart Safety Systems, connecting sensors and actuators to the safety control system. These modules enable the control system to receive signals from sensors (such as limit switches, pressure sensors, emergency stop buttons) and send control signals to actuators (such as valves, motors, safety relays), ensuring safe operation of factories or processes.

Key features of HIMA's I/O modules include:

• Safety: These modules undergo rigorous testing and certification for safety-critical applications, complying with IEC 61508 SIL 3 standards.
• Flexibility: They offer various types of I/O modules capable of handling digital (on/off) and analog signals (such as voltage, current).
• Diagnostic Functions: Most modules include diagnostic capabilities to assist users in quickly identifying and locating faults.
• Hot Swap: Some models support hot swap functionality, allowing maintenance personnel to replace modules while the system is running.

HIMA provides a range of I/O modules tailored to different functionalities and types of sensors and actuators to be connected. Common types include:

• Digital Input Modules: Receive on/off signals from devices like limit switches, pressure sensors, and emergency stop buttons.
• Digital Output Modules: Send on/off control signals to devices such as valves, motors, and safety relays.
• Analog Input Modules: Convert analog signals like voltage or current into digital signals for the safety control system to interpret.
• Analog Output Modules: Convert digital signals into analog signals to control analog actuators.
