Application Areas

  • Oil & Gas: Emergency shutdown (ESD) for offshore platforms and pipelines.
  • Chemical Plants: Safety interlocks for reactor overpressure and toxic gas leaks.
  • Power Generation: Turbine overspeed protection and boiler safety controls.
  • Railways: Signaling and track switching safety systems.

System Architecture

  1. Centralized/Decentralized: Supports distributed I/O modules (e.g., ​HIMA DI 8.8) for flexible deployment.
  2. Redundancy: Cross-communication between controllers for seamless failover.
  3. Integration: Compatible with ​HIMA Safety Cloud for remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

Installation & Configuration

  1. Programming: Use ​HIMatrix® software for SIL-compliant logic design and simulation.
  2. Validation: Perform ​FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) per ISA 84.00.01.
  3. Certification: Requires TÜV-certified engineers for SIL 3 deployment.
  4. Cybersecurity: Configure firewalls and role-based access to meet IEC 62443 standards.
