Safety system HIMax available worldwide

06 November 2008

Hima has announced the worldwide commercial release of its safety product, HIMax, which is the first safety system designed to provide uninterrupted system operation throughout the entire life of a processing facility. It combines diagnostic-based SIL 3 safety integrity with a scalable fault-tolerant architecture.

The fault tolerance eliminates false trips and provides for unlimited changes, modifications, expansions, upgrades and regulatory proof testing without taking the plant off-line.

HIMax enables higher plant efficiency while reducing capital/project expenditures. HIMax allows for tight integration with any DCS using open-standard protocols guaranteed by Hima, giving customers the power to choose the best DCS for their plant.
