6. Key Points for Installation and Maintenance
Installation
- Fix the device using DIN rails in accordance with the instruction manual, ensuring the rack is level and sufficient heat dissipation space is reserved.
- Connect the 24 V DC dual power supplies, and check the polarity and voltage range.
- Insert sub-modules (such as I/O, communication, and power supply modules) as required, and ensure the card slots are locked securely.
- Perform a system self-test after wiring is completed to confirm that the status of all modules is “OK”.
Commissioning
- Use the engineering software provided by HIMA (e.g., HIMA ConfigTool) to configure the Safety Function Tree (SFT), set thresholds, and program the failover logic.
- Verify the safety logic through Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) field simulation to ensure it meets the SIL 3 calculation requirements.
Daily Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Check the power supply, heat dissipation, connection terminals, and module locking status every 6 months.
- Diagnostic Logs: Use the built-in diagnostic function to export fault logs and analyze potential trends.
- Software Updates: Update the firmware via OTA or USB during shutdown windows to keep up with the latest security patches.
- Spare Parts Management: It is recommended to keep spare dual power supplies, key I/O modules, and communication cards in stock for quick replacement.
Safety Precautions
- Installation and maintenance work must be carried out by engineers with SIL 3 qualification or service providers certified by HIMA.
- Any modifications require re-conducting the Safety Integrity Level assessment (SIL calculation) and updating the technical documents.
