Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the H4116 is discontinued, long lead-time, or budget-constrained, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your system configuration:
- HIMA H4116 (same P/N, different revision) – Confirm firmware and hardware revision compatibility with your HIMax/HIMatrix controller.
- HIMA H4117 / H4118 – Higher-channel-count relay output modules in the same H41xx family; may require backplane slot reconfiguration.
- HIMA F3 DO 8/8 01 – Relay DO module for HIMatrix F3 series; verify backplane compatibility.
- Pilz PSSu E F DO 4 Relay – Third-party SIL-rated relay output module; requires gateway or protocol adaptation.
- Phoenix Contact Inline Safety Relay Module – Suitable for non-HIMax architectures requiring relay DO with SIL 2 rating.
- Siemens ET 200SP F-RQ 1×24VDC/24…230VAC/5A – Alternative for mixed Siemens/HIMA hybrid architectures.
Important: Cross-brand replacements require full functional safety re-validation. Konmask recommends consulting your system integrator or HIMA-certified engineer before substitution.
Why Choose the Original HIMA H4116
- Certified Safety Performance: Factory-validated SIL 2/3 performance with full TÜV certification — no re-validation overhead.
- Seamless HIMax/HIMatrix Integration: Plug-and-play backplane compatibility with zero firmware conflicts.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Replace modules without system shutdown, minimizing process downtime.
- Long Service Life: HIMA modules are engineered for 10+ year operational lifecycles in harsh industrial environments.
- Traceability & Documentation: Full factory test records, CE/ATEX declarations, and revision history available on request.
- OEM Warranty: Genuine parts carry HIMA’s standard warranty and are eligible for HIMA service contracts.
Typical Applications
- Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) in oil & gas upstream/downstream facilities
- Burner Management Systems (BMS) in power plants and refineries
- High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS)
- Process Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF) requiring SIL 2/3 DO
- Turbine and compressor control relay outputs
- Chemical plant interlock and trip relay circuits
- Nuclear auxiliary system relay switching (where applicable)
System Compatibility
- Primary Platform: HIMA HIMax safety controller (X-MIO backplane)
- Secondary Platform: HIMA HIMatrix F3 series (verify slot type)
- Engineering Tool: HIMA ELOP II Factory / SILworX (configuration and diagnostics)
- Communication Protocols: PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP (via HIMax CPU — module itself is backplane-native)
- Power Supply: 24 V DC via HIMax/HIMatrix system bus (no external PSU required for module logic)
- Redundancy: Supports 1oo2 and 2oo3 voting architectures when paired with appropriate CPU and I/O configuration
Selection Guide
Use the following decision matrix to determine whether the H4116 is the right module for your application:
- Step 1 – Platform Check: Confirm your controller is HIMax or HIMatrix. If using a different PLC brand, consider cross-brand equivalents listed above.
- Step 2 – Channel Count: H4116 provides 16 relay DO channels. If you need fewer (8 ch) or more (32 ch), consider H4108 or H4132 respectively.
- Step 3 – SIL Requirement: For SIL 2 applications, H4116 in 1oo1 architecture is sufficient. For SIL 3, use redundant configuration (1oo2D).
- Step 4 – Contact Rating: Verify load current and voltage against H4116 relay contact specs. For higher-power loads, use an interposing relay.
- Step 5 – Environment: For Zone 1/2 ATEX installations, confirm the H4116 ATEX variant is specified. Standard H4116 is for safe-area or Zone 2 use.
- Step 6 – Availability: If H4116 is on allocation or EOL, contact Konmask for certified refurbished stock or approved equivalent sourcing.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use the H4116 as a direct replacement for an older HIMA relay module?
A: In most cases yes, provided the backplane slot type and firmware version are compatible. Always verify with HIMA’s compatibility matrix or contact Konmask for guidance.
Q: Is the H4116 still in production?
A: HIMA periodically revises its product portfolio. Contact Konmask for current production status and recommended successors if the H4116 has reached end-of-life.
Q: Can I mix H4116 with other H41xx modules in the same HIMax rack?
A: Yes. HIMax supports mixed I/O module configurations within the same rack, subject to slot assignment rules in SILworX.
Q: Do you provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC is available for all units upon request at no additional charge.
Q: What is the lead time for a refurbished H4116?
A: Typically 1–5 business days for tested refurbished stock. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Can the H4116 be used in SIL 3 applications?
A: The H4116 supports SIL 3 when deployed in a redundant (1oo2D) architecture within a validated HIMax safety system. Consult your functional safety engineer.
