HIMA F6215 (8-channel analog input module, F62 rack)

Location: 8-channel safety analog input module (AI) of the SIS system in the HIMA F62 (HIMax) rack (SIL3 certified), discontinued / out of production, predecessor of F6217.

I. Basic Information 

Model: F6215

Brand/series: HIMA Black Horse / F62 (HIMax) Rack

Function: 8-channel safety analog input (AI)

Safety level: SIL3, AK6, PL e/Cat.4 (TÜV Certified)

Status: Out of production / Older model. Spare parts available for current projects. New projects are recommended to use F6217 or F60MI2401

Installation: Standard slots of F62 rack (4TE wide)

II. Core Parameters

Channels: 8 analog input channels (single-ended / differential)

Signal types:

Voltage: 0–1V, 0–5V, 0–10V

Current: 0–20mA, 4–20mA (built-in 50Ω shunt)

Temperature: Pt100 (2.5mA excitation)

Resolution: 12 bits

Sampling rate: 100ms/channel (configurable)

Isolation: Channel-to-channel / Bus-to-bus photoelectric isolation, withstands 1500Vrms

Self-diagnosis: Open circuit / short circuit / overrange / power supply failure detection, fail-safe shutdown

Power supply: 24VDC (18–32V), rack bus power supply

Power consumption: ≤200mA

Operating temperature: 0℃ ~ +60℃ (some versions - 20℃~+60℃)

Size / Weight: 120mm×75mm×20mm / approximately 0.4kg

III. Comparison of the same series models (F62 rack AI module)

F6213: 4 AI channels, 12 bits, discontinued model, discontinued

F6214: 8 AI channels, 16-bit high precision, discontinued model, discontinued

F6215: 8 AI channels, 12 bits, standard accuracy, discontinued model, discontinued

F6217: 8 AI channels, 12 bits, mainstream in use, parameters compatible with F6215

F6220: 8 AI channels, 16-bit + Ethernet, new model, more powerful functions

F60MI2401: F60 series mixed I/O (including AI), preferred for new projects

IV. Typical Applications

Old factory SIS/ESD renovation (F62 rack)

4–20mA/0–10V signal acquisition of temperature (Pt100), pressure, level, etc.

Boiler BMS, fire and gas F&G system, chemical interlock control

V. Replacement Suggestions

Replacement parts (F62 rack): Prefer F6217 (directly compatible, high cost-effectiveness); optional for high precision F6220

New system (without F62 rack): Select F60MI2401 (F60 series, more powerful, higher versatility)
