Description

The F3236 (alternate part number 984323602) is a 16-channel safety-related digital input module engineered by HIMA for critical signal acquisition in Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). This F3236 module accepts 6 mA current signals or 24 V mechanical contact inputs across 16 independent channels. The 984323602 features a dual-microprocessor architecture (Intel 386EX, 32-bit, 25 MHz) with TÜV AK6/SIL3 certification. Designed for harsh industrial environments, the F3236 supports hot-swapping and integrates seamlessly with HIMA H41q, H51q, and HIMax controllers.

Benefits

  • TÜV-Certified SIL 3 Compliance – Meets IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards, eliminating additional certification efforts for safety-critical applications

  • Dual-Processor Redundancy – Two clock-synchronized 32-bit microprocessors with hardware comparators ensure fault-tolerant operation and fail-safe behavior

  • Comprehensive Self-Diagnostics – Automatic full-module testing during operation detects input crosstalk, filter capacitor faults, and module malfunctions

  • Hot-Swappable Design – Replaceable without system shutdown in redundant configurations, minimizing downtime

  • Flexible Field Integration – Supports PROFIBUS DP and Modbus TCP protocols for seamless DCS/PLC connectivity

  • Rugged Industrial Construction – Wide temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) and IP20 protection suit demanding environments

Features

  • 16 Independent Digital Input Channels – Each channel configurable for 6 mA current signals or 24 V mechanical contacts

  • Dual-Microprocessor Architecture – Intel 386EX, 32-bit, 25 MHz processors with physical isolation and hardware comparison

  • Automatic Full Self-Testing – Continuous in-operation testing covering input crosstalk (walking-zero), filter capacitor function, and module logic

  • Safety Isolation Class AK 1–6 – Designed for safety isolation requirements across all AK levels

  • Diagnostic Logging – Stores up to 500 local diagnostic entries for channel-level fault location

  • Front Cable Plug Connection – LiYY 16 x 0.25 mm² cable with color-coded conductors per channel

  • LED Status Indicators – Per-channel visual status monitoring for rapid troubleshooting

  • PROFIBUS DP & Modbus TCP Support – Flexible communication for diverse system architectures

Theory of Operation

The F3236 operates as a safety-related digital input acquisition module within HIMA’s PES (Programmable Electronic System) and SIS architectures. At its core, the module employs a dual-microprocessor architecture (two Intel 386EX 32-bit processors running at 25 MHz) operating in a 1oo2D (one-out-of-two with diagnostics) configuration. Each processor independently executes both actual data and inverted data programs; a hardware comparator continuously verifies that results from both processors match. Any discrepancy triggers a fail-safe state, ensuring that even single hardware faults do not compromise safety integrity.

The module accepts field inputs as either 6 mA current signals (including cable plug) or 24 V mechanical contact closures. Each of the 16 channels is electrically isolated and filtered to reject electromagnetic interference. During normal operation, the F3236 performs automatic full self-testing, including walking-zero cross-talk detection between inputs, verification of filter capacitor functionality, and comprehensive module logic validation. These tests run continuously without interrupting normal signal acquisition.

The module communicates with the host controller via the system backplane, supporting PROFIBUS DP and Modbus TCP protocols. Diagnostic data—including channel status, fault logs, and self-test results—is transmitted to the central controller and can be accessed via the operator station. The F3236 supports hot-swapping in redundant configurations, allowing replacement without system shutdown. Power is supplied via dual rails: 5 V DC (120 mA) for logic and 24 V DC (200 mA) for field input circuitry.

FAQ

Q1: What is the HIMA F3236 used for?

The F3236 is a 16-channel safety-related digital input module designed to acquire critical safety signals—such as emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks, limit switches, and proximity sensors—for HIMA Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in oil & gas, chemical, and power generation applications.

Q2: What safety certifications does the F3236 hold?

The F3236 carries TÜV AK6/SIL3 certification, complying with IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards for functional safety. It is approved for safety isolation requirement classes AK 1 through 6.

Q3: What input signals does the F3236 accept?

The F3236 accepts two types of digital inputs: 1-signal, 6 mA current signals (including cable plug) or 24 V DC mechanical contact signals. Each of the 16 channels can be independently configured.

Q4: Does the F3236 support hot-swapping?

Yes. The F3236 supports hot-swapping in redundant configurations, allowing module replacement without system shutdown and minimizing production downtime.

Q5: What is the switching time of the F3236?

The F3236 delivers a typical switching time of 8 ms with a minimum scan cycle of 20 ms, enabling fast signal acquisition for time-critical safety applications.
