The new SafeHMI solution comprises HIMA safety systems and function block libraries as well as a safety-related HMI panel based on IconTrust® technology.
HIMA, the world's leading provider of safety-related automation solutions, and DEUTA, a specialist in certified display and safety technology, have jointly launched a new solution, SafeHMI, that combines HIMA safety systems and function block libraries with a safety-related human-machine interface (HMI) panel based on IconTrust technology.
The innovative solution sets new standards in safety-related visualization, offering context-sensitive alarm management, safe operation and display monitoring in accordance with SIL 3 (IEC 61508) and has been consistently designed with an aim to meet functional safety requirements.
While classic SCADA systems and MIMIC panels often reach their limits in safety-critical applications, SafeHMI delivers clear, prioritized information – exactly where it is required.
Dynamic alarm display and secure input processes
At the heart of the system is the dynamic alarm display, which reduces the burden on operators during fault situations. Relevant alarms are automatically prioritized, along with concise instructions for action and limited to a maximum of four simultaneous entries. This ensures that an overview is maintained, even in critical moments and operating errors are avoided.
The solution allows to make inputs, acknowledgements or safe overrides directly through the touch panel – tested, documented and validated according to SIL 2/3. This means that maintenance functions or recipe changes can be carried out digitally and documented in an auditable manner.
Display with a guarantee of reliability – thanks to IconTrust
A key safety feature is the IconTrust technology developed by DEUTA. It continuously monitors screen content and reliably detects any deviations between the displayed and expected values. This makes the display itself an active safety element that is certified up to SIL 3, offering operators maximum reliability.
Fully integrated into the HIMA Safety platform
The SafeHMI solution is fully integrated into the HIMA Safety Platform. Configuration, modifications and enhancements are carried out using standardized function blocks, which are offered as part of a certified library. This makes SafeHMI an important component of HIMA’s #safetygoesdigital initiative, with which the company is driving digitalizing of the entire life cycle of safety-related systems and their peripherals.
