3 Product Description
The X‑COM 01 E communication module is intended for use in the programmable electronic
system (PES) HIMax.
The module can be inserted into any of the base plate slots with the exception of the slots
reserved for system bus modules. Refer to the system manual (HI 801 001 E) for details.
The module is approved for use in the safety-related HIMax system and can be employed to
transport safety-related protocols.
The module ensures communication with systems via Ethernet and fieldbus interfaces with
SafeEthernet and diverse standard protocols.
Use the SILworX programming tool to select the interfaces for the available protocols.
Refer to the HIMA website and the HIMax safety manual (HI 801 003 E) for more information on
the standards used to test and certify the module and the HIMax system.
3.1 Replacement and Compatibility
An X‑COM 01 E module has more memory capacity than an X-COM 01 module. This is a
prerequisite for new protocols such as the PROFINET IO Controller V2.4+.
An X‑COM 01 E module can replace an X-COM 01 module installed in an existing system. To
ensure compatibility, observe the following points:
▪ The new X-COM 01 E module must be equipped with the same fieldbus submodules used
for the X-COM 01 module to replace.
▪ The X-COM 01 E operating system supports all protocols that were operated in the X-COM
01 module. Exception: PROFINET IO Controller V2.2, see Chapter 3.1.1.
▪ The existing X-CB 001 02 connector board can continue to be used with an X‑COM 01 E
module for all protocols. Exception: PROFINET IO Controller V2.4+.
▪ When using the PROFINET IO Controller V2.4+ protocol, the X-CB 001 04 connector board
is to be used instead of the X-CB 001 02 connector board.
3.1.1 Downgrade
If the PROFINET IO V2.2 protocol is to be used in an X‑COM 01 E module, then downgrade the
X‑COM 01 E module to an X-COM 01 operating system ≤ V14.12.
Refer to the maintenance manual for details on how to load operating systems.
After downgrading to an X-COM 01 operating system, a protection mechanism activates
preventing an upgrade to an X-COM 01 E operating system!
▪ An X-COM 01 ≤ V14.12 operating system can be loaded in an X-COM 01 E module. If this is
done, however, loading an X-COM 01 E operating system ≥ V15.12 is no longer possible.
▪ No X-COM 01 E operating system ≥ V15.12 can be loaded in an X-COM 01 module.
