Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between F 8621 and F 8621A?
The F 8621A is a later hardware revision featuring improved EMC performance and updated internal components for extended lifecycle support and compliance with newer safety requirements.

How is the safety application programmed?
Programming is performed using HIMA-certified engineering tools such as ELOP II or SILworX, supporting FBD and SFC programming environments compliant with IEC 61131 standards.

Is the module hot-swappable?
Yes. In redundant architectures, the F 8621A can be replaced while powered, with automatic logic and data synchronization upon insertion.
