Features:
- The F8650X is TÜV-certified to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ISO 13849 PL e / Category 4, featuring fail-safe design that reliably transitions processes to a safe state upon fault detection.
- Integrates two clock-synchronized 32-bit microprocessors (Intel 386EX at 25 MHz), each with independent memory and hardware comparators for cross-checking.
- Operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C with up to IP66 protection rating.
The F8650X, as the central processor module of the HIMA Safety Instrumented System (SIS), features TÜV certification to IEC 61508 SIL 3 and ISO 13849 PL e / Category 4 – the highest single-module safety integrity levels available. This certification means the F8650X meets the most demanding risk assessment requirements for industrial safety control. The fail-safe design philosophy ensures that regardless of any internal hardware or software fault, the module reliably transitions the industrial process to a pre-defined safe state.
The F8650X achieves exceptional hardware reliability through its dual-processor architecture. Two clock-synchronized 32-bit microprocessors (Intel 386EX at 25 MHz) operate in parallel, each with independent Flash-EPROM for operating system and user program storage, plus SRAM for data memory. A testable hardware comparator continuously compares the outputs of both processors. Only when the results match is the output executed; upon detecting a discrepancy, the system immediately identifies a fault and can perform a controlled shutdown or switchover.
The F8650X is engineered for demanding industrial environments with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in freezing outdoor conditions or high-temperature steel mills. Select models offer IP66 protection against dust and water ingress. For communication, the F8650X features two electrically isolated RS-485 serial interfaces supporting Modbus RTU protocol. Through engineering tools (such as ELOP II TCP or SILworX) and optional communication modules (such as F8627X), it seamlessly integrates Ethernet, Profibus, and other networks.
The F8650X HIMA Control Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
