II. Functions and Features
- Full-Lifecycle Configuration and Programming: Integrates programming, configuration, commissioning, diagnostics, and maintenance in one platform without additional software, supporting the entire lifecycle of HIMatrix SIS systems from design to operation.
High Safety Compliance: Meets international safety standards including IEC 61508 (SIL 3), IEC 61131-3, and EN 50159; programmable logic is traceable and verifiable, satisfying safety certification requirements in process industries.
- Flexible Redundancy Configuration: Supports multiple redundancy architectures (1oo2, 2oo3, etc.); configurable based on safety level requirements with redundant switching time ≤ 100ms to ensure uninterrupted operation.
- Online Commissioning and Diagnostics: Supports online connection to controllers for real-time monitoring of program status and signal acquisition data; non-safety-related parameters can be modified online without system shutdown.
Data Backup and Recovery: One-click backup and recovery of system configurations, program logic, and fault records; automatic backup cycles configurable to prevent data loss.
- User Authorization Management: Multi-level user access control (Administrator, Engineer, Operator) with distinct permission scopes to prevent unauthorized modification of logic and system parameters.
- Interference Immunity and Stability: Stable software operation with electromagnetic interference resistance and anti-crash mechanisms; long-term stable performance in strong electromagnetic environments of industrial control rooms without lag or crashes.
- ESD Protection Adaptation: Supports configuration of electrostatic discharge protection-related functions; noise blanking can be set to ensure stable signal transmission under potential surge conditions. Combined with hardware ESD measures, it prevents equipment damage from electrostatic discharge.
III. Application Scenarios
- Petrochemical Industry: Safety interlock control for reactors, pipelines, storage tanks, and other equipment in refineries and chemical plants; programming and configuration of emergency shutdown, overpressure protection, level alarm, and other logics to ensure production safety.
- Nuclear Power Industry: Safety control for auxiliary systems in nuclear power plants (e.g., cooling systems, ventilation systems); high-safety-level logic programming, commissioning, and diagnostics to meet stringent nuclear industry safety requirements.
Metallurgical Industry: Safety interlocks for high-temperature furnaces, rolling mills, and other equipment in iron and steel plants, non-ferrous metal smelters; logic configuration for over-temperature, overload protection, etc., adapted to high-temperature, strong electromagnetic industrial environments.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Safety control for fermenters, sterilization equipment, and other devices in pharmaceutical factories; GMP-compliant safety logic programming to ensure safety and compliance in pharmaceutical production.
- General Process Industry: Applications requiring SIL 3 safety control such as water treatment plants, gas stations, and power plants; used as the core programming and configuration software for HIMatrix SIS systems to deliver stable and reliable safety control solutions.
- HIMatrix System Upgrade / Maintenance: Used for retrofit, program optimization, and troubleshooting of HIMatrix SIS systems; as original genuine licensed software, it ensures safe and compatible system operation.
IV. Operating Notes
Pre-Installation Preparation: Verify software model (504111) and license order number (895210001) and confirm compatibility with HIMatrix controller firmware; check computer hardware and OS compliance and install .NET Framework 4.8 or later; disable antivirus software and firewall before installation (re-enable after completion) to avoid installation blocking.
License Management: Safeguard the hardware dongle against loss, damage, or lending; software requires dongle insertion for activation after installation; full functions unavailable in inactive state; software cracking, copying, or unauthorized license use is prohibited and may result in software invalidation and legal liability.
Programming and Configuration Standards: Logic programming must comply with IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61508 to avoid logic flaws; back up existing system programs before configuration to prevent faults caused by misconfiguration; confirm parameter scope when modifying online and strictly prohibit changes to safety-related core parameters; perform offline simulation and online verification after logic development to ensure correctness.
Operating Environment Control: Host computer to be placed in a closed, dry, ventilated control room away from frequency converters, high-voltage busbars, and other strong interference sources; maintain temperature 10°C–35°C and humidity 20%–80% (non-condensing); regularly clean disk junk files and optimize system performance to avoid software slowdown.
Electrostatic Protection Procedures: Ensure electrostatic-free work area during configuration and hardware connection; operators must wear ESD wrist straps to prevent equipment and data damage from electrostatic discharge; if surges may occur on-site, enable noise blanking in the software to require signal validation for at least two cycles, delaying fault response accordingly. This setting is unnecessary if plant design eliminates internal surges.
- Routine Maintenance and Safe Operation: Regularly back up configuration files, program logic, and fault records (monthly backup recommended) to prevent data loss; update software versions periodically via official HIMA channels to improve stability and security; force closing the software during operation is prohibited to avoid data corruption; when connecting to a controller for maintenance, confirm its running status first to avoid disrupting on-site production.
