Application

For HIMA HIMatrix SIS safety instrumented system, to host F-series safety I/O modules:

1. ESD emergency shutdown systems for oil refinery and chemical plants
2. FSSS furnace safety protection systems for gas power plants and thermal power boilers
3. Safety interlock systems for offshore oil & gas platforms and LNG facilities
4. Safety control systems for coal chemical and pharmaceutical hazardous processes
5. Safety protection cabinets for compressors, furnaces and reactors Function: Offer 11 slots for safety input, output and communication modules. Safety signal transmission is realized via backplane bus to expand I/O capacity of SIS. Redundant power design reduces single-point power failure risk and ensures the whole safety system reliably execute interlock and emergency shutdown protection under hazardous working conditions.
