Overview
Key Features
- 16 safety-related relay output channels.
- SIL 3 safety certification.
- Three-relay architecture for each output channel.
- Electrically isolated output channels.
- Two integrated Ethernet switch ports.
- SafeEthernet communication with compatible HIMax and HIMatrix controllers.
- Metal enclosure for DIN rail installation.
Relay Output Configuration
The F2DO1602 uses 16 relay output channels. Each channel contains three relays connected in series, including two safety relays with forcibly guided contacts. This arrangement supports safety-related switching and helps detect certain relay faults.
In addition, each output has an individual status LED. The channels are electrically isolated from one another and from the module power supply. The relay contacts support switching voltages up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC, subject to the specified current and load limits.
Communication and System Integration
The module operates as a remote I/O device rather than an independent programmable controller. It receives output commands from a connected HIMax or HIMatrix controller through SafeEthernet. Therefore, application logic runs in the connected controller, while the F2DO1602 handles the physical relay outputs.

Safety Applications
The F2DO1602 supports safety-related switching functions in industrial control systems. Its relay outputs can control external actuators and switching circuits according to commands from the connected safety controller.
For example, the module can support safety shutdown functions. Meanwhile, its relay arrangement and individual channel status indicators help maintenance personnel identify output conditions during system inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many input and output channels does the HIMA F2DO1602 provide?
A: The F2DO1602 provides 16 relay output channels and no integrated digital input channels. It is specifically designed as a remote digital output device.
Q: Does the F2DO1602 support Modbus TCP/IP?
A: The module uses HIMA SafeEthernet to communicate with compatible HIMax and HIMatrix controllers. Modbus TCP/IP should not be treated as its direct communication protocol.
Q: Can the F2DO1602 operate independently as a safety controller?
A: No. It functions as a remote I/O device and requires a compatible HIMax or HIMatrix controller to execute the application logic and manage its output commands.
