Overview
The HIMA F3430 is a 4-fold relay module designed for safety-critical industrial automation systems. It supports SIL 3 applications and ensures reliable switching, isolation, and diagnostics. The module integrates proactive safety shutdown, relay wear monitoring, and LED indicators, which reduce maintenance and improve system availability. It operates in harsh environments, including chemical plants, offshore platforms, and power generation facilities. The F3430 complies with IEC 61508 SIL 3 standards, making it suitable for emergency shutdown systems and other safety instrumented functions. Its three-series relay design enhances reliability, while solid-state outputs drive LED displays for monitoring. The module also supports redundancy configurations like 1oo4D and 2oo4D.
