HIMA F8628X Communication Module

Functional Features Communication Function: It supports the Profibus DP slave protocol, enabling data exchange with other devices or systems. It also supports Elop II programming via Ethernet, which facilitates remote programming and configuration of the CPU. Safety Function: As a part of the safety control system, it has a high level of safety. When a fault occurs in the module, it can ensure that the system remains in a safe state to protect the safety of personnel and equipment. For example, when an abnormal situation is detected, it can automatically cut off the power supply of relevant devices or issue safety alarms. Diagnostic Function: Equipped with a diagnostic display screen and indicator lights, it can display information such as the system status, I/O levels, and user programs, which helps to quickly locate and troubleshoot faults.

Technical Parameters Dimensions: It is a 19-inch module, with a height of 3 height units (HU), that is, 3×44.45mm; and a width of 4 width units (WU), that is, 4×5.08mm. Electrical Parameters: The operating voltage is usually 220V, and the output frequency is 50kHz. It has 8 digital outputs. Under the maximum ambient temperature, outputs 1, 3, 5, and 7 can carry a load of 0.5A, and outputs 4 and 8 can carry a load of 1A or 2A when the ambient temperature does not exceed 50 degrees Celsius.

Application Cases Chemical Industry: In the chemical production process, it is used to connect the controllers, sensors, and actuators of various production equipment to achieve precise control and safety monitoring of the production process. For example, in the polymerization reaction process, parameters such as the reaction temperature, pressure, and material flow rate are collected in real time, transmitted to the central controller for analysis and processing, and the operation of relevant equipment is controlled according to the analysis results to ensure that the reaction proceeds under safe and stable conditions. Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry: On offshore oil drilling platforms, it transmits the data from devices such as wellhead pressure sensors, crude oil flow sensors, and combustible gas detectors on the platform to the central control system, realizing real-time monitoring of the platform's production status and safety early warning. In refineries, it is applied to the automation control and safety monitoring systems of production processes such as atmospheric and vacuum distillation and catalytic cracking to ensure the stability and safety of the production process. Power Industry: In power plants, it is used to connect the control systems of generator sets, power grid monitoring equipment, and the controllers of various auxiliary devices to achieve precise control of the power generation process and stable connection to the power grid. For example, parameters such as the rotation speed, voltage, and frequency of the generator sets, as well as information such as the load and phase of the power grid, are collected in real time. Through the analysis and processing of these data, the generator sets are adjusted to ensure the power generation quality and the safety of the power grid.

Installation and Configuration Guide for HIMA F8628X: Installation Guide Preparation Before Installation: Confirm that the installation environment meets the requirements of the module, including temperature, humidity, electromagnetic environment, etc. Prepare the required tools, such as screwdrivers. Ensure that you have the relevant knowledge of the H41q/H51q system and are familiar with the safety operation procedures. Module Installation Location: The HIMA F8628X is a 19-inch module suitable for the sub-rack of the H41q/H51q system. In the sub-rack, slots 4 to 15 are usually used for input/output modules, and the module can be installed in an appropriate position among these slots according to the needs. In a PES system with a redundant I/O bus, the modules in slots 4 to 9 are assigned to the first I/O bus, and slots 10 to 15 are assigned to the second I/O bus. Slots 1 to 3 are usually used to install the power distribution module F7133. Installation Steps: Turn off the power supply of the relevant system to ensure that the installation is carried out in a de-energized state. Insert the F8628X module smoothly into the selected slot, ensure that the module is firmly connected to the slot, and use tools such as a screwdriver to fix the installation screws of the module. Connect the power and communication cables of the module and correctly connect them to the corresponding interfaces according to the instruction manual.

Configuration Guide IP Address Setting: Set the IP address of the F8628X through programming tools or relevant software, ensuring that it is in the same network segment as other devices in the network and that the IP address does not conflict. For example, if the network uses the 192.168.1.0/24 network segment, the IP address of the F8628X can be set to an unused address within this segment, such as 192.168.1.100. Profibus DP Slave Protocol Configuration: According to the communication requirements with other devices, configure the relevant parameters of the Profibus DP slave protocol, such as baud rate, slave station address, etc. The possible options for the baud rate are 9.6Kbps, 19.2Kbps, 12Mbps, etc., which need to match the settings of the master station device; the slave station address is generally selected from an address between 1 and 126 that is not used by other slave stations. Elop II Programming Configuration: If Elop II programming needs to be carried out via Ethernet, ensure that the network connection between the programming device and the F8628X is normal. Set the correct communication parameters in the programming software, such as the target IP address (i.e., the IP address of the F8628X), port number, etc., and then conduct a connection test to ensure that it is possible to successfully connect to the F8628X for programming operations. Diagnostic Function Configuration: The diagnostic display screen and indicator lights can be configured according to actual needs to display information such as the system status, I/O levels, and user programs, which is convenient for troubleshooting and system monitoring. For example, set it so that when a certain output channel fails, the corresponding indicator light turns on, and relevant fault codes and information are displayed on the diagnostic display screen at the same time.
