HIMA and Deuta collectively launched Oct. 21 their SafeHMI, which mixes HIMA’s security methods and performance block libraries with a safety-related, human-machine interface (HMI) panel based mostly on Deuta’s IconTrust expertise. This HMI presents context-sensitive alarm administration, protected operation and show monitoring in accordance with SIL 3 (IEC 61508), and is designed to satisfy purposeful security necessities.
“With Deuta, we have now a expertise accomplice with many years of expertise in safety-related shows, particularly within the rail and transport sectors,” says Jörg de la Motte, CEO of HIMA Group. “SafeHMI makes purposeful security in industrial environments seen, controllable and digitally manageable.”
SafeHMI’s core is its dynamic-alarm show, which reduces the burden on operators throughout fault conditions. Related alarms are mechanically prioritized, together with concise directions for motion, and restricted to a most of 4 simultaneous entries. This ensures that an outline is maintained, even in important moments, whereas working errors are averted. SafeHMI additionally lets customers make inputs, acknowledgements or protected overrides instantly by means of its contact panel, which is examined, documented and validated based on SIL 2/3. This carries out upkeep features or recipe adjustments digitally, and paperwork them in an auditable method.
“With SafeHMI, we’re taking show and working logic to a brand new stage of security,” provides Bernd Schäfer, product supervisor at HIMA. “In important conditions, operators not solely obtain data, but additionally get clear directions for motion, and so they can depend on what they see as correct.”
A key security function is Deuta’s IconTrust software program that repeatedly displays display screen content material, and detects deviations between displayed and anticipated values. This makes SafeHMI an energetic security aspect that’s licensed as much as SIL 3. As well as, SafeHMI is built-in with HIMA’s Security Platform. Configuration, modifications and enhancements are carried out utilizing standardized perform blocks, that are supplied as a part of an authorized library.
“By partnering with HIMA, we will present generic security expertise for working and show items used within the railway sector with greater than 30,000 items for brand new fields of software for which no comparable answer has been obtainable to this point,” provides Dr Rudolf Ganz, CEO of the Deuta Group and Deuta-Werke. “Together with HIMA’s security system, the appliance potentialities are nearly limitless.”
