Engineering Advantages
- SIL 3 Architecture: Designed and certified for use within HIMA’s HIMax safety system, supporting the highest functional safety integrity levels per IEC 61508.
- HIMA SafeEthernet™ Protocol: Proprietary safety communication layer ensures fail-safe data transmission with built-in error detection, sequence monitoring, and watchdog supervision.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Supports online module replacement within the HIMax platform, minimizing planned and unplanned downtime in continuous-process environments.
- Deterministic Latency: Engineered for real-time safety applications where communication cycle time predictability is a hard requirement.
- Redundancy Support: Compatible with HIMax redundant CPU and I/O architectures for 1oo2D and 2oo3 voting configurations.
- Compact Form Factor: Standard HIMax module footprint enables direct slot-for-slot replacement in existing rack assemblies without mechanical modification.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the HIMax system architecture, the F8627 AUSG F8627.03 module occupies a dedicated communication slot on the HIMax backplane. The module interfaces directly with the HIMax CPU subsystem via the internal high-speed backplane bus, and presents one or more Ethernet ports to the external network infrastructure.
Signal flow: Field Devices / Remote I/O → Ethernet Network → F8627.03 Module → HIMax Backplane Bus → HIMax CPU (Safety Logic Execution) → Output Actuation
In redundant configurations, paired F8627 modules operate in active/standby or parallel modes, with automatic bumpless switchover managed by the HIMax operating system. All communication is supervised by HIMA’s SafeEthernet™ protocol stack, which provides end-to-end data integrity verification independent of the underlying Ethernet physical layer.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the F8627 AUSG F8627.03 compatible with all HIMax system generations?
A: The F8627.03 is designed for the HIMax platform. Compatibility with specific HIMax firmware versions and rack configurations should be verified against your system’s hardware compatibility matrix (HCM). Contact Konmask.com for compatibility confirmation with your system revision.
Q: Can this module be used as a direct replacement for an earlier F8627 revision?
A: HIMA uses revision suffixes (e.g., .01, .02, .03) to denote hardware revisions. Cross-revision compatibility is generally maintained within the same HIMax generation, but we recommend confirming with your HIMA system documentation or contacting our technical team before substitution.
Q: Does Konmask.com provide a test report or functional test certificate?
A: Functional bench testing is available as an optional pre-shipment service. Please specify this requirement at the RFQ stage. A test report documenting power-on status and communication port activity can be provided.
Q: What is the typical lead time for this module?
A: For in-stock units, lead time is 3–7 business days including pre-shipment inspection. For sourced units, lead time is 7–21 business days depending on supply chain availability.
Q: Can Konmask.com supply multiple units for a plant-wide spare parts program?
A: Yes. Konmask.com supports bulk procurement for spare parts programs. Volume pricing and staggered delivery schedules are available. Contact us with your annual demand forecast for a framework agreement quotation.
