HIMA The HIJunctionBox is part of the Smart Safety Platform

The HIJunctionBox comes pre-configured and tested. The various assembly options for

inputs and outputs deliver a high level of flexibility. Communication with the SIS occurs via

fiber-optic cables. The HIJunctionBox can therefore be quickly and simply integrated into

existing systems. The requirements of your plant determine whether you use HIMax or

HIMatrix components.

Key Benefits

• Reduced hardware costs:

Marshalling cabinets and a significant amount of cables from the field to the SIS are not required.

• Reduced infrastructure  costs: The spatial require- ments in the control center are minimized,

requiring fewer cable routes and less marshalling.

• Shorter FAT: Thanks to standardization and testing, the factory acceptance test is completed more quickly.

• Simplified engineering:

The cabling effort is lower, changes to inputs and outputs can be implemented without rewiring.

• Quicker testing and troubleshooting: Testing during the operational phase is comparatively

short due to its low complexity.

Signal Exchange and Communication

Conventional signal boxes are connected to a marshalling cabinet, which in turn establishes the 

connection to the remotely installed safety controller.

The HIJunctionBox is connected directly to the safety controller.

Smart Safety Platform

The HIJunctionBox is part of the Smart Safety Platform, the world’s first safety platform

that supports compact, non-redundant, and redundant applications. Customers can

combine individual components as they wish and, therefore, implement their own custom

safety strategy – flexibly and cost effectively. The other components of the Smart

Safety Platform are the HIMax, HIMatrix, and HIQuad X controllers, the SILworX

engineering tool, and the SafeEthernet protocol.
