HiC digital isolated barriers – switch amplifiers, solenoid drivers, relays

HiC2821 · HiC2831 · HiC2841 · HiC2853 · HiC2871 · HiC5861

H-System HiC barriers for digital signals: switch amplifiers for NAMUR sensors and dry contacts, solenoid drivers and a relay module that plug into HiC termination boards, with line fault detection and up to SIL 3.

H-System HiC digital barriers transfer on/off signals between the field and the control system. Switch amplifiers read NAMUR sensors or dry contacts in Zone 0, 1, 2 and pass them to the safe area via passive transistor or relay outputs; solenoid drivers power solenoid valves, LEDs and audible alarms in the hazardous area; the HiC5861 relay module safely switches load circuits up to 30 V.

All modules plug into HiC termination boards, which provide the supply and a common fault bus. Versions with an R suffix are matched to specific control systems (e.g. Honeywell Safety Manager RIO I.S. for HiC2831R2).

Key features

  • Inputs for NAMUR sensors (EN 60947-5-6) or dry contacts, 1 or 2 channels
  • Passive transistor, resistive transistor with line fault transparency (LFT) or relay outputs
  • Line fault detection (LFD) and fault indication acc. to NAMUR NE 44
  • Solenoid drivers: 45 mA at 12 V DC (HiC2871, HiC2883), loop or bus powered
  • Immunity to DO card test pulses (model dependent)
  • HiC5861 relay module for de-energised-to-safe function, up to SIL 3 and PL e
  • Field circuits [Ex ia Ga] IIC, [Ex ia Da] IIIC; ATEX, IECEx, cULus
