HIMA F3 DIO 20/8 01 Safety I/O Module

Product Description

The HIMA HIMatrix F3 DIO 20/8 01 is a high-performance safety I/O module designed for critical automation systems. It combines 20 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs within a compact module, enabling efficient signal processing and reliable device actuation. Moreover, it integrates seamlessly into HIMatrix safety systems, supporting SIL 3 safety functions for demanding industrial environments.

This module provides flexible configuration options, including de-energize-to-trip and energize-to-trip modes for digital inputs. In addition, short-circuit protection and diagnostic functions ensure continuous system reliability. Its outputs support fail-safe switching to guarantee safe operation of field devices, reducing the risk of system failure.

Designed for industrial cabinet installation, the module features pluggable connections for simplified wiring and robust mechanical shielding. It withstands temperature ranges from -20 °C to +60 °C and meets IEC standards for shock and vibration resistance. Therefore, it is highly suitable for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and manufacturing.
