HIMA F9203A
HIMA F9203A is a high-performance digital output module specifically designed by HIMA for its HIMatrix® safety control system. This module plays a critical role as a “safety executor” in the Safety Instrumented System (SIS). Its core function is to receive logical instructions from the safety controller and drive on-site actuators (such as safety relays, solenoid valves, audible and visual alarms) to perform safety actions.
The HIMA F9203A module adopts a highly reliable design, capable of safely switching loads up to 230VAC/250VDC. This ensures that in emergency situations (such as triggering Emergency Shutdown (ESD) or Fire and Gas Detection (F&G) interlocks), it can reliably cut off hazardous sources or activate safety equipment. The module supports redundant configuration and comprehensive online diagnostics, which can detect faults such as short circuits, open circuits, and load open circuits in the output channels. It immediately reports the fault status to the main controller, ensuring the system is always in a known safe state and meeting the requirements of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3. Thus, it serves as the final electrical execution barrier for safety protection in the process industry.

Structure and Composition
The HIMA F9203A module adopts a standard European-style card design and needs to be inserted into a dedicated communication base (such as F-COMM-A) for use. It features a robust metal housing, and the front panel is equipped with status indicators for each channel (green LED indicates output status, red LED indicates fault status) and a red operating handle.
Its internal structure includes four fully independent electromechanical relay output channels. Each channel uses a high-quality safety relay with a positively guided contacts structure—an essential feature in safety-critical applications, which ensures the effective execution of safety functions through contact status monitoring. Each output channel includes a drive circuit, status monitoring, and diagnostic circuit, enabling real-time detection of faults such as contact welding, coil open circuits, and load short circuits. The module connects to the base via gold finger connectors at the rear, drawing operating power from the base and communicating with the main controller through the backplane bus.
Key Features and Advantages
1. Safe and Reliable Relay Output
HIMA F9203A uses electromechanical relay outputs, which can directly drive AC or DC loads without the need for additional relays, simplifying system design. Its positively guided contacts structure ensures that in case of faults like contact welding, the issue can be detected through auxiliary contacts—this is a key feature for achieving the SIL 3 safety level.
2. Comprehensive Diagnostic Functions
The module is equipped with complete online diagnostic capabilities, enabling real-time monitoring of the health status of each output channel, including load open circuits, output short circuits, overloads, and relay coil faults. Once a fault is detected, it immediately reports to the safety controller, ensuring the system can take appropriate measures to maintain safety integrity.
3. High Flexibility and Maintainability
It supports mixed applications of AC or DC loads, and each channel can be independently configured and used. The module supports hot-swapping, allowing replacement during system operation, which significantly reduces maintenance downtime. The status indicators on the front panel provide intuitive channel status display, facilitating quick fault location and maintenance.
Application Fields
The HIMA F9203A module is widely used in process industry fields that require highly reliable safety execution.
- In the petrochemical industry, it is used in Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) to drive emergency shut-off valves and shutdown valves;
- In Fire and Gas Protection Systems (F&G), it activates fire-fighting equipment, alarms, and ventilation systems;
- In Burner Management Systems (BMS), it controls fuel valves and ignition systems;
- In oil and gas pipelines, it drives emergency shut-off valves;
- In the nuclear power field, it is used for controlling safety-related equipment;
- In mechanical equipment safety systems, it implements safety shutdown functions.
