HIMA F3226A 2-Channel Safety Related Switching Amplifier Module

Product Overview

The HIMA F3226A is a dual-channel, safety-related switching amplifier module developed specifically for use in safety instrumented systems (SIS) that demand high integrity, availability, and compliance with SIL 3 standards according to IEC 61508. As part of the HIMA safety system portfolio, the F3226A is engineered to reliably isolate and amplify binary signals from field devices such as proximity switches, contactors, mechanical limit switches, and safety sensors.

Its primary function is to act as an interface between field devices and logic controllers, ensuring that incoming signals are safely conditioned, monitored, and relayed. The device supports both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) input logic and is equipped with two fully independent signal paths for increased system integrity.

The F3226A module is designed for DIN rail installation within control cabinets and is compatible with both new installations and retrofit projects in the process, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
