6  Maintenance 
Defective modules must be replaced with modules of the same type or with approved 
replacement models. 
When replacing modules, observe the instructions specified in the HIMax system manual 
(HI 801 001 E) and HIMax safety manual (HI 801 003 E). 
6.1  Maintenance Measures 
The following maintenance measures must be implemented for the modules: 
▪  Proof testing. 
▪  Loading of enhanced operating system versions. 
6.1.1  Proof Test 
The proof test interval for HIMax modules must be in accordance with the interval required by 
the application-specific safety integrity level (SIL). For further details, refer to the safety manual 
(HI 801 003 E). 
6.1.2  Loading of Enhanced Operating System Versions 
As part of product maintenance, HIMA is continuously improving the operating systems of the 
modules. HIMA recommends using system downtimes to load current versions of the operating 
system into the modules. 
The operating system versions are displayed in the SILworX Control Panel. The type labels 
show the operating system versions at the time of delivery. 
Before loading operating systems into the modules, check the system compatibilities and 
restrictions of the operating system versions. To this end, use the applicable release notes. Use 
SILworX to load the operating systems into the modules and ensure that these are in the STOP 
state.
