Advantages & Features
- Universal Voltage Compatibility & High Load Capacity: HIMA F3349 supports 24-230V AC/DC output and 5A resistive load per channel, enabling control of a wide range of high-power actuators (e.g., industrial motors, heating systems) without additional modules. This versatility reduces system complexity and installation costs.
- SIL 3 Certification & SSR Reliability: With IEC 61508 SIL 3 certification and zero-cross switching SSRs, HIMA F3349 eliminates contact arcing (a common failure point in electromechanical relays) and ensures fast, bounce-free switching—critical for safety-critical applications requiring rapid response to process anomalies.
- Advanced Thermal & Overload Diagnostics: HIMA F3349 monitors SSR temperature and load current in real time, triggering alerts for overloads or overheating before component failure. This predictive diagnostic capability minimizes unplanned downtime and extends module service life.
- Extreme Environmental Tolerance: Designed to operate in -40°C to +70°C and withstand 15g vibration/50g shock, HIMA F3349 performs reliably in harsh industrial environments, including offshore platforms, desert refineries, and high-vibration manufacturing facilities.
Application Fields & Cases
- Oil Refinery Heater Control System: A major oil refinery deployed HIMA F3349 modules in its HIMatrix SIS to control high-power heater elements in crude oil distillation units. The module’s 5A load capacity and universal voltage compatibility simplified actuator integration, while thermal diagnostics prevented SSR overheating during peak operation, avoiding a costly heater shutdown.
- Chemical Plant Motor Starter Safety Interlock: A petrochemical plant integrated HIMA F3349 into its reactor safety system to control motor starters for agitator and pump systems. The SSR zero-cross switching eliminated contact wear, and SIL 3 certification ensured compliance with safety regulations, while the 1ms switching time enabled rapid motor shutdown during process anomalies.
- Power Plant Boiler Auxiliary System Control: A coal-fired power plant used HIMA F3349 to control solenoid valves and fan motors in its boiler auxiliary systems. The module’s wide temperature range (-40°C ~ +70°C) and vibration resistance ensured reliable operation in the boiler room environment, and hot-swappable design allowed maintenance during peak power generation hours.

Selection Suggestions & Precautions
- Selection Suggestions: HIMA F3349 is the optimal choice for HIMA HIMatrix users requiring high-power, SIL 3-certified digital outputs for controlling motors, heaters, or other high-load actuators. For low-power applications (≤2A), HIMA F3331 (electromechanical relay) is a cost-effective alternative. Non-HIMA system users may prefer Triconex 3664 for high channel density or Siemens S7-400F for PROFINET integration.
- Precautions:
- Ensure inductive loads (e.g., motors) are paired with surge suppressors to protect SSRs from voltage spikes during switching.
- Do not exceed the module’s rated current (5A resistive/2A inductive) to prevent SSR overheating and failure.
- Use shielded cables for output wiring to minimize EMI interference and ensure stable SSR operation.
- Regularly review diagnostic data via SILworX software to monitor SSR temperature and load levels, scheduling maintenance for degraded channels before failure.
- Verify compatibility with HIMA HIMatrix system firmware (V3.0+) to ensure full diagnostic and communication functionality.
