Description
HIMA F8628
(Fault-tolerant Safety Controller for Critical Process Industries)
Product Overview
The HIMA F8628 is a high-integrity safety controller from HIMA’s HIMax® Series, designed for safety instrumented systems (SIS) in industries where functional safety is paramount. Compliant with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards, it achieves SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) certification, making it suitable for emergency shutdown (ESD), fire and gas (F&G), and burner management systems (BMS) in oil and gas, chemical plants, and power generation.
Key Features
- Fault Tolerance:
- Dual or quad-redundant architecture with hot standby redundancy.
- Automatic diagnostics for CPU, I/O, and communication modules.
- Safety Logic Solver:
- Executes safety logic with **≤ 50 ms response time** for critical shutdowns.
- Supports FBD (Function Block Diagram) and LD (Ladder Logic) programming.
- Communication:
- HART, Modbus TCP, and PROFIBUS integration.
- OPC UA for secure data exchange with DCS/SCADA systems.
- Certifications:
- TÜV Rheinland certified (SIL 3), ATEX/IECEx for hazardous areas.

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
- Centralized/Decentralized: Supports distributed I/O modules (e.g., HIMA DI 8.8) for flexible deployment.
- Redundancy: Cross-communication between controllers for seamless failover.
- Integration: Compatible with HIMA Safety Cloud for remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
Installation & Configuration
- Programming: Use HIMatrix® software for SIL-compliant logic design and simulation.
- Validation: Perform FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) per ISA 84.00.01.
- Certification: Requires TÜV-certified engineers for SIL 3 deployment.
- Cybersecurity: Configure firewalls and role-based access to meet IEC 62443 standards.
