Product Description

The X-CPU 01 processor module is an absolute necessity for data processing within the HIMax system.

Data processing within the HIMax system is absolutely essential. The processor module is used to:

Process up to 32 user programmes

Perform all central functions including communication

Handle the redundant functions of up to 3 additional processor modules

Communicate via secure Ethernet

Create and store CPU events.

Stores events created by the I/O modules.

The module is TÜV-certified for safety-related applications up to SIL 3.

(IEC 61508. IEC 61511 and IEC 62061), Cat. 4 (EN 954-1) and PL e (EN ISO 13849-1).

Safety features of the module

The safety features of the processor module include the following:

Handling of the user programme

– If a fault occurs Stop the user programme and reset the variables to their initial values.

– If a fault occurs: Reset the processor module to a safe state and report the CPU status

Safe communication between the HIMA controllers (HIMax, HIMatrix and remote I/O modules) using the safety-related safeethernet protocol.

Data transfer can be carried out using the Ethernet interface of the processor module itself, or

The data can be transferred using the Ethernet interface of the processor module itself or using the Ethernet interface of the COM module.

The safety function complies with the SIL 3 standard.
