HIMA X-CB 008 04 Safety Controller Module

Product Overview

Brand: HIMA
Model: X-CB 008 04
Product Type: Connector Board / Interface Board
Series: HIMax Safety System
Application: Safety Instrumented System (SIS) Hardware Interface

The HIMA X-CB 008 04 is a HIMax redundant connector board used in HIMA safety PLC systems. It provides the electrical and mechanical connection between HIMax I/O modules and field devices through a system cable / field termination assembly (FTA) interface.

Important: X-CB 008 04 is not a Safety CPU or Safety Controller Module. It is a connector board (backplane/interface component) that works together with HIMax I/O modules to build a complete safety control system.
