Core Advantages
- Highly integrated hardware: controller unit integrates full set of I/O and counters. No extra I/O modules required for small‑scale projects, saving cabinet space and wiring workload.
- Comprehensive safety self‑diagnosis: channel‑specific fault codes available for DI/DO/AI/counters. Outputs force de‑energized upon fault following de‑energize‑to‑trip safety philosophy.
- Flexible networking: built‑in Ethernet switch for direct distributed safety system setup, compatible with HIMatrix remote I/O nodes.
- Multiple hardware variants: besides standard 982200416, low‑temperature variant (‑20 °C) and ISO13628‑6 qualified Subsea variant are available for harsh field conditions.
- Dual software platform support: ELOP II Factory for legacy firmware, SILworX for V7 and newer firmware, compatible with legacy retrofit and new projects.
- Hardware clock buffered by supercapacitor, maintains time for approx.one week after power loss; no external battery needed.
Product Features
- Front panel equipped with full status LED indicators: Power, RUN, ERROR, FAULT, PROG plus individual I/O channel LEDs for quick on‑site visual diagnosis.
- Analog input channels support 4‑20 mA signal acquisition when used with external shunt adapters Z7301/Z7302; analog channels can monitor open‑circuit and short‑circuit faults for digital output external wiring.
- Two high‑speed counters support pulse counting and Gray‑code absolute encoder decoding, suitable for safe speed and position monitoring of rotating machinery.
- Configuration reset hole restores IP address and user credentials to factory defaults.
- I/O channels support channel disable and custom hysteresis threshold; passive mechanical contacts can be directly connected to DI or AI terminals.
- Unique fault codes are generated for each I/O channel fault, which can be read by user logic for customized fault handling.
- Approved for Ex Zone2 hazardous area installation, must be housed inside enclosure with minimum IP54 protection grade.
Application Fields
- Oil & Gas Petrochemical: wellhead safety control, F&G fire & gas monitoring, compact ESD emergency shutdown loops, offshore platform Subsea control units

FAQ
Q: Which programming software is compatible with HIMatrix F35 part‑number 982200416?
A: 982200416 is the ELOP II Factory version with firmware older than V7. The SILworX‑compatible part number is 982200473. Project files from these two software versions cannot be opened interchangeably.
Q: Can HIMatrix F35 work as a remote I/O node?
A: Yes. HIMatrix F35 is a full‑featured controller. It can be configured within engineering software to operate as a distributed remote node connected to HIMatrix or HIMax main controller systems.
Q: How to realize 4‑20 mA signal acquisition via HIMatrix F35 analog channels?
A: External shunt adapter Z7301 or Z7302 is required. Hardware manual shall be consulted for correct shunt resistance parameters, and FS1000 or FS2000 resolution mode shall be selected in software.
Q: What are the core differences among F35‑01, F35‑011 and F35‑012 variants?
A: F35‑01 (982200416): standard version, operating temperature 0‑60 °C; F35‑011: ‑20~60 °C low‑temperature version with conformal coated PCB; F35‑012: Subsea version with V2A stainless‑steel housing complying with ISO13628‑6 Subsea standard.
Q: Does HIMatrix F35 counter support absolute Gray‑code encoders?
A: Yes. Enable the Gray‑code system variable for the 2 built‑in counters to directly read position values from 3‑bit Gray‑code encoders.
Q: Will program and configuration get lost after power failure? Is battery required?
A: Control logic and hardware configurations are stored in non‑volatile Flash memory. Hardware clock is sustained by supercapacitor for about one week; no external battery is needed.
Q: Why do DO4 and DO8 deliver higher current than other digital output channels?
A: DO4 and DO8 are enhanced output channels. Max.output reaches 2A at 50 °C ambient temperature and de‑rates to 1A at 60 °C. Remaining channels are rated at max.0.5A. Load selection shall refer to official hardware manual.
Q: Are terminal connectors included when ordering HIMatrix F35 982200416?
A: Screw terminal connectors are NOT included in standard delivery and must be ordered separately. Improper connectors will cause hardware damage.

Important Notes
- HIMatrix F35 982200416 follows de‑energize‑to‑trip safety philosophy; outputs will automatically switch to safe de‑energized state upon fault occurrence. Process logic design must comply with this safety principle.
- Shielded twisted‑pair cables shall be used for analog input wiring; maximum cable length: 300 m. Max.cable length for counter signals: 500 m. Cable shield is recommended to single‑end connect to controller housing.
- For Zone2 hazardous‑area installation, the controller must be mounted inside enclosure with IP54 or higher protection rating; power supply circuit shall be fitted with 10A time‑delay type T fuse.
- Before executing reset operation, disconnect all D‑Sub fieldbus connectors to avoid interference with other bus stations. Perform reset: hold reset pin while powering on device under power‑off status for minimum 20 seconds.
- Proof‑test shall be performed every 10 years; analog input channels are suggested to be recalibrated every 10 years.
- No on‑site component repair is allowed. Replace complete unit with identical part number upon hardware failure.
- Firmware version of HIMatrix F35 must match corresponding engineering software. Program download across mismatched firmware versions will trigger errors.
