Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: What is the primary function of the F8628X module?
  A: Its primary function is to connect HIMA safety controllers to a Profibus DP network as a slave device, enabling data exchange with DP masters.
• Q: Can I program the CPU through this module?
  A: Yes, the F8628X provides a 100Base-T Ethernet port specifically for programming with the ELOP II engineering software.
• Q: Which HIMA CPUs is this module compatible with?
  A: It is designed for the new generation of CPUs, including the safe F8650X and F8652X, as well as the standard F8651X and F8653X.
• Q: How does the F8628X differ from the older F8628 module?
  A: The F8628X adds the new Ethernet programming capability (ELOP II via Ethernet). The older F8628 module remains available for legacy support.
• Q: Is this product new and ready to ship?
  A: Yes, we supply only new, factory-original HIMA units. The F8628X is in stock and we process orders for shipment within 5 business days via DHL, FedEx, or UPS.
