HIMA Communication Features of HIQuad X

Modernization Benefits

• Shorter turnaround times for modernization

• Less modernization effort compared to new installation

• No changes of I/O modules including field wiring

Technical Highlights

• Two systems: H51X and H41X

• Common usage of the same modules for H51X and H41X

• Supports 24 existing HIQuad I/O modules

• Per H51X system up to 16 I/O extension racks with up to 256 I/O modules

• Per H41X system with up to one I/O extension rack with up to 28 I/O modules

• Flexible I/O architecture mono and redundant loops can be mixed, which reduces footprint

• Reload of application, hardware and communication

• Reduced cycle times

• Faster REAL calculation

• Freedom of interference between F-CPU 01 and I/O modules

• Cross connection between modules increases system availability

• Multitasking with up to 32 application programs

• Improved diagnosis for faster maintenance and troubleshooting

• Improved haptics

• Extended system bus

• Better EMC stability

Communication Features of HIQuad X

A new communication module F-COM 01 comes included with HIQuad X. It supports the consistent

HIMA security concept. With HIQuad X, you have new opportunities as well as well-known existing

communication paths. Additionally, HIQuad X increases the availability of the communication to

redundant third-party systems.

You can connect HIQuad X systems to each other via the HIMA safety protocol SafeEthernet. Also,

HIMax, HIMatrix systems and RIOs can be combined safely. To establish a safety-related connection to

existing HIQuad installations, the protocol HIPRO-S V2 is implemented in HIQuad X.

• 2 Ethernet interfaces on F-CPU 01 and F-COM 01.

• Interference-free, peer-to-peer connections between each F-CPU 01 and each of the up to

• 10x F-COM 01 modules.

• The whole IP address range can be used.

• Enhanced communication options such as subnet masks and virtual LAN to segregate nets can

be programmed.

• One serial interface per F-COM 01.
