HIMA launches the fourth generation of its central module HIQuad X
HIMA products provide you with maximum long-term equipment availability. For this reason, we are constantly updating our product portfolio with new technologies.
Compatible successor products ensure that your security system will continue to operate smoothly for many years after installation.
This reduces life cycle costs, avoids unplanned downtime and ensures that your assets are protected by your investment.
The HIQuad H41q/H51q was introduced to the market in 1997 as the third generation of central modules.
In 2018. a fourth-generation central module was introduced to ensure the sustainability of the HIQuad system family.
The new central modules support the various I/O modules of the previous generation.
The combination of the reliable HIQuad I/O modules and the new central module has been named HIQuad X. This guarantees maximum compatibility for field installation.
This guarantees maximum compatibility and minimum modernisation effort in field installations.
As HIQuad X is now available, the H41q/H51q central modules have entered the replacement phase of the HIMA product life cycle.
The H41q/H51q central modules will move to the legacy phase in 2020.
The legacy phase is expected to last 10 years and will be fully serviced.
The I/O levels will remain unchanged and will continue to be used in HIQuad X.
HIQuad X completes our intelligent security platform. All new features are now
also available for HIQuad X, including
– SILworX as an engineering tool for all system families
– State-of-the-art safety concepts
– Performance enhancements, especially in REAL calculations
– Comprehensive communication (Secure Ethernet, HIPRO-S-V2)
Expansion, upgrading and modernisation
Systems, technologies and standards are constantly changing. To ensure the long-term safety and availability of your equipment, our experts will assist you in keeping it up to date during its operation.
As part of our modernisation service, our experts support you with on-site analyses.
As part of our modernisation service, our experts support you with on-site analyses and advise you on all options and technologies to keep your equipment up to date. This includes consulting on system upgrades, equipment maintenance and updating to compatible successor models.
Our modernisation service includes upgrade planning, logical conversion from ELOP II to SILworX and installation of the system in accordance with the latest safety standards.
Modernisation to HIQuad X brings additional benefits:
– Seamless modernisation
HIQuad inputs/outputs (including field wiring) can be left in place, which reduces costs compared to new installations.
Software engineering is supported through automated logic conversions, reducing engineering effort and potential sources of error.
– Reduced downtime
Unaltered components can be tested more easily, reducing www.abb-drive.com the downtime required for modernisation.
– Modernisation flexibility
You have complete freedom to carry out modernisation in a single step or in phases.
– Increased safety and security
HIQuad X provides you with the optimal basis for compliance of your system with the latest functional safety standards of IEC 61511 and automation safety standards of IEC 62443.
– Better performance
State-of-the-art technology delivers better functionality, such as shorter cycle times, increased heavy-duty capability, improved system availability, reduced engineering effort and improved maintenance.
– Ongoing support:
Products entering the legacy phase have limited availability and do not receive updates or new features. HIQuad X fully supports new safety features and future certifications.
