The HIMA F3 AIO 8/4 01 (982204009) is a remote analog I/O module for HIMatrix and HIMax safety PLC systems. It provides 8 analog input (AI) channels and 4 analog output (AO) channels, communicating with the safety controller via SafeEthernet.

The module is TÜV-certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and is suitable for use in Zone 2 / Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas. It is primarily used for analog signal acquisition and control in SIS and ESD applications and can be engineered using ELOP II and SILworX.

Functions and Features

Analog acquisition and control

8-channel AI supports measurement of temperature, pressure, and other process signals

Integrated wire break and short-circuit monitoring

4-channel AO provides control outputs with support for safe shutdown

In the event of a fault, dual safety switches synchronously disable all AO channels

Secure communication

Real-time communication with the safety controller via SafeEthernet

Integrated Ethernet switches simplify network topology

Ensures secure, deterministic data transmission for safety applications

Fault protection and diagnostics

In case of an internal module fault, all AO outputs are switched off synchronously and an alarm is generated

AI channels can be used to monitor external digital output (DO) lines (requires a 26 V transmitter power supply)
