HIMA X-COM 01 Communication Module

Product Description

The X-COM 01 communication module is intended for use in the programmable electronic

system (PES) HIMax.

The module is inserted into any of the base plate slots with the exception of the slots reserved

for system bus modules. For more information, refer to the System Manual (HI 801 001 E).

The module is approved for use in the safety-related HIMax system and can be used to

transport safety-related protocols.

The module ensures communication with systems via Ethernet and fieldbus interfaces with

safeethernet and different standard protocols.

Safety Function

No safety function is performed by the communication module.

Reaction in the Event of a Fault

If fault occur, the module enters the temporary ERROR STOP. The module is then rebooted

and restarted from the INIT state.

No process data is exchanged with external communication partners in the ERROR STOP

state. No process data is transferred to process module.

HIMax COM Module Part Number

Each COM module forms a functional unit with the X-CB 001 02 connector board. Note that the

connector board must be separately purchased.

The fieldbus submodules are optional and must be mounted by the manufacturer. The fieldbus

submodule is selected when ordering the controller using the part number. Additionally, the

protocols used must be activated.

Processor System

The processor system uses self tests to control and monitor the communication.

Data is exchanged between the communication module and the processor module

is carried out via redundant system bus. The system bus has a redundant structure

for reasons of availability. Redundancy is only ensured if both system bus modules

are inserted in the base plates and configured accordingly.

Operating system and error code history are stored in a non-volatile memory and

can be read in SILworX via the diagnosis.

Ethernet Switch

Integrated Ethernet switch to configure different networks.

Ethernet interface

The communication module is equipped with four Ethernet switch ports connected to the

Ethernet interface of the processor system via an integrated Ethernet switch.
