The HIMA F 8621A is a specialized coprocessor module designed for integration within the HIMA H51q processor-based safety system (PES). Equipped with its own dedicated HD 64180 microprocessor, the F 8621A operates at a clock frequency of 10 MHz to handle communication and auxiliary processing tasks efficiently. The F 8621A module features internal memory including 384 kbyte static memory, CMOS-RAM, and EPROM, and includes a Dual Port RAM for high-speed data exchange with the main central module.
Features
Integrated HD 64180 microprocessor with 10 MHz clock frequency
384 kbyte static memory (CMOS-RAM and EPROM)
Two RS 485 interfaces (half-duplex) with galvanic isolation
Dedicated communication processor
Dual Port RAM for rapid memory access to the central module
Software-selectable transmission rates
Applications
Industrial safety-related process automation
H51q system communication expansion
Distributed control systems requiring high-speed coprocessing
The device acts as a coprocessor to handle communication tasks and auxiliary processing within the H51q system, utilizing its own microprocessor and Dual Port RAM for fast data access.
How are transmission rates configured?
Transmission rates can be set via software (300 to 57600 bps) or by taking over values configured on the central unit via DIP switches.
Does the module require external battery buffering?
The static memory (RAM) on the module is battery-buffered by the F 7131 power supply monitoring module.
