HIMA X-COM 01 Product Specification
1. Product Overview
The HIMA X-COM 01 is a safety-related communication module exclusively designed for HIMA’s HIQuad X and HIMax safety instrumented systems (SIS). Serving as a secure data transmission hub in industrial safety architectures, it enables reliable and deterministic communication between safety controllers, distributed I/O modules, and third-party automation systems. Widely applied in high-risk sectors like oil & gas, petrochemical, and nuclear power, this module ensures the integrity and timeliness of safety-critical data, which is vital for the execution of emergency shutdown, fire and gas, and process interlock functions.
Compliant with international safety standards including IEC 61508 (SIL 3) and IEC 61511, the X-COM 01 features a redundant communication architecture and strict data integrity mechanisms. It maintains stable performance in harsh industrial environments with electromagnetic interference, voltage fluctuations, and temperature variations, meeting the most rigorous safety and reliability requirements of process industries.

3. Key Features
3.1 SIL 3 Certified Secure Communication
Certified for SIL 3 operation, the X-COM 01 employs end-to-end data encryption and integrity checks (CRC-32) to prevent data tampering and loss. Its redundant communication paths ensure that safety-critical data transmission remains uninterrupted even if one communication link fails, meeting the high availability requirements of SIS.
3.2 Multi-Protocol Compatibility
Support for PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP/IP, and HIMA Safety Bus enables seamless integration with HIMA’s SIS and third-party automation systems (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell PLCs). This multi-protocol capability eliminates communication barriers in mixed-brand industrial environments, simplifying system integration and expansion.
3.3 Deterministic & Low-Latency Transmission
With a data transfer rate of 1 Gbps and latency ≤1 ms, the module ensures real-time transmission of safety-critical signals—essential for time-sensitive safety functions like emergency shutdown in petrochemical plants. The deterministic communication mechanism guarantees consistent data transmission delays, avoiding unpredictable responses in SIS.
3.4 Robust Redundancy & Diagnostics
Redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports and power inputs minimize single points of failure, enhancing system reliability. Built-in self-diagnostics (≥99% diagnostic coverage) monitor communication link status, port faults, and module health, transmitting real-time alerts to the SIS controller for timely maintenance.
