HIMax® X-CPU 31

Functionality
■■ CPU and system bus function
are united in one module
■■ Safe run of all core
functionalities, including
safe communication via
safeethernet

Benefits
■■ HIMax is more scalable
■■ Lower investment costs
■■ Ideal for distributed
structures, thus less wiring
■■ Tailored performance range

Features

CPU and system bus functionality in one module Applications

HIMax with processor module X-CPU 01
HIMax systems with the
Slots 1 + 2: System bus module X-SB 01
processor module X-CPU 31
Slots 3 – 6: Up to 4 processor modules X-CPU 01
are suitable, e.g., for the
following applications:
■■ Emergency Shutdown
HIMax with the new processor module X-CPU 31
Slots 1 + 2: Up to 2 processor modules X-CPU 31 incl. systems (ESD)
■■ Fire & Gas systems (F&G)
integrated system bus functionality
■■ Burner safety and boiler

Application Examples
The module may be used in slots 1 and
2 of rack 0. The required I/O modules
may be inserted in slot 3 and following
slots. The connection to the PADT is
