- Protection Level: IP20, Ex d IIC (explosion-proof)
- Power Supply: 24 V DC, power consumption ≤ 5 W
- Communication Interfaces: Multi-protocol support including PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN open, etc.
- Redundancy: Dual CPU, dual bus redundancy, fault switching time ≤ 10 ms
- Dimensions: 5 U, 19-inch rack, DIN rail mounting
- Certifications: TÜV-RC 6, CE, ATEX, IECEx
Product Features
- High Safety Level: Complies with SIL 3 / Cat 4 requirements, suitable for critical safety functions.
- Multi-Protocol Compatibility: Supports switching between multiple fieldbuses and industrial Ethernet with one-time configuration, reducing system integration costs.
- Redundant Design: Dual CPU and dual bus redundancy ensure uninterrupted communication and improve system reliability.
- Explosion-Proof Structure: Certified to Ex d IIC, applicable to flammable and explosive sites.
- Compact Installation: 5 U rack-mounted design, supporting quick assembly on DIN rails.
- Easy Maintenance: Modular structure allows hot-swap replacement without shutdown; supporting diagnostic software enables fault location.
Structure and Composition
- Main Body: Metal housing, integrating dual CPUs, redundant power supplies, and communication processing units.
- Communication Cards: Optional cards for different protocols (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, etc.), inserted and removed via the backplane.
- Power Module: 24 V DC input, internal voltage stabilization, and redundant power input.
- Diagnostic Interface: RS-232/RS-485, used for on-site debugging and fault diagnosis.
- Installation Accessories: DIN rail brackets, fixing screws, and terminal blocks.
Typical Application Fields
- Petroleum and petrochemical, natural gas, oil refining, and chemical raw material production
- Power and energy (power plants, distribution networks)
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology
- Heavy industries such as iron and steel, cement, and papermaking
- Process Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems
Key Points for Installation and Maintenance
Installation
- Fix the module using DIN rails according to the instruction manual, ensuring the rack is level.
- Connect the 24 V DC power supply, and check the polarity and voltage range.
- Select and insert the required communication cards into the backplane, ensuring the card slots are locked tightly.
- Follow the IEC 61804 standard during wiring, and use explosion-proof junction boxes.
Debugging
- Perform self-inspection using diagnostic software (e.g., HIMA Safety-Suite) to confirm the normal operation of redundant links.
- Configure network parameters (IP, node address) and conduct fieldbus node scanning.
Daily Maintenance
- Regularly check the power supply and heat dissipation holes for blockages, and maintain ventilation.
- Conduct a functional self-inspection every 6 months and record logs for traceability.
- In case of faults, use the hot-swap feature to replace faulty modules, allowing the system to complete switching without interruption.
