HIMA SILworX API (application programming interface)

SILworX allows you to program and configure your HIMA safety-related controllers

and diagnose errors in an intuitive user interface. This results in fewer user errors

and faster engineering – enabling you to commission your safety system more quickly

and adapt it to new requirements immediately.

The engineering tool is a part of the HIMA Smart Safety Platform and adapts modularly

to your project requirements. In addition to its core function, SILworX also offers Industry

4.0 functions for user-specific programming. Benefit from efficient and flexible engineering

solutions for future-proof digitalization of functional safety with added value.

SILworX offers a modular approach.  In addition to its core functions, the programming of

safety controllers, it also offers industry 4.0 features that can be deployed flexibly to meet

the application´s specific requirements. All of these features are safety certified.

Thanks to the new interface external plug-ins such as scripts, programs or functions can

also be integrated into your own automation project.

Customize your automation process in a simple way

Via an additional interface in SILworX, external plug-ins such as scripts, programs or functions

can be integrated into your own automation project without affecting the safety functions.

Plug-ins are applications that interact with SILworX but are not included in the SILworX application.

Extend SILworX by integrating application-specific functions as needed and benefit of flexible

programming, increased efficiency and faster time-to-market.

Plug-ins for SILworX

• Independent modules that run in their own processes

• Start automatically with SILworX or manually by the user

• Access to SILworX via the SILworX API function

In large projects several people work together on one project and need to manage different

versions or parts of the same project.

Versioning and collaboration made easy

• SILworX offers the option to save the project in several individual files instead of one single file.

• This makes it easy to import individual files or folders into versioning tools and merge them

back later into one project.

• The same applies to objects such as function blocks, libraries, and other resources that were

created by different team members.

SILworX Multi-File-Project streamlines both versioning activities and team collaboration.

This enhances the digital work process which generates more efficiency and saves more time.
