3 Product Description
HIMax is a safety-related control system and is intended for continuous operation and
maximum availability.
HIMax is a modular system. Functions such as processing, input and output, and
communication are distributed on plug-in modules. These modules must be inserted in one
or multiple base plates. A controller specific to the concrete application can be created by
selecting appropriate modules.
Ethernet cables are used to interconnect the base plates.
The controller can be easily adapted to future extensions of the process to be controlled,
e.g., by adding modules or base plates containing modules.
Figure 1 shows the structure of the HIMax system. The figure shows the base plates, both
system busses, the system bus modules, the processor modules and the Connector
Boards of the modules.
To increase availability, HIMax is intended for redundant operation. For more information,
refer to Chapter
3.9.
The system can also be used as mono, non-redundant system. For more information, refer
to Chapter
3.3.2, Variant 1, and Appendix.
In either case, safety-related operation up to SIL 3 is ensured.
