Features:
- SAFETY RELAY MODULE
- HIMA HIMatrix Safety-Related Controller
- Designed specifically for distributed, time-critical industrial applications
Its primary function is to perform fault-safe monitoring of critical processes, ensuring the safety of personnel, equipment, and the environment. The system supports both digital and analog I/O modules, enabling precise connectivity with sensors, actuators, and field devices in complex industrial environments such as chemical plants, power plants, and oil and gas operations. By combining real-time monitoring with configurable safety logic, HIMatrix allows operators to effectively implement safety procedures while maintaining process efficiency.
Its modular design allows for the integration of multiple I/O and communication modules, providing redundancy, scalability, and easy adaptation to evolving process requirements. The system also integrates advanced diagnostics, self-tests, and continuous health monitoring of I/O channels, simplifying maintenance, supporting predictive fault detection, and reducing unplanned downtime. HIMatrix communicates seamlessly with higher-level control systems and SCADA systems, providing operators with detailed insights into safety and process performance.
The F60MI2401 HIMA Safety relay module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The system employs a distributed safety logic architecture, with each module continuously performing self-diagnostics while communicating with a redundant controller network. Safety inputs from sensors are continuously evaluated according to preset safety logic. When a hazardous situation is detected, the corresponding output is activated in a fail-safe manner to control the actuator or shut down the process. Redundant communication channels and cross-checking of module signals ensure that the system remains operational even in the event of a hardware failure, thereby guaranteeing operation in compliance with Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and providing reliable protection for critical industrial processes.
Mixed Signal Acquisition: A single module can process combined signals from digital switches (e.g., emergency stop buttons) and analog transmitters (e.g., 4-20 mA pressure sensors), reducing the need for dedicated hardware.
High-Speed Safety Monitoring: Capable of processing input signals for time-critical safety functions with response times as low as 2 milliseconds, making it suitable for high-speed machinery and turbine protection.
Fault Detection: In digital mode, line monitoring can be performed to detect short circuits or open circuits in field lines, which is crucial for maintaining SIL 3 safety loops.
Safe Networking: Processed data is transmitted to the central F60CPU01/03 via an internal bus or SafeEthernet, ensuring data integrity between distributed systems.
