Safety MechanismsBuilt-in hardware real-time self-test, automatic fail-to-safe mode switching, SIL 3 certified safety Ethernet communication, and event log storage capacity of no less than 5,000 records.
Programming & ExpansionSupports programming via C/C++ and HIMA ELOP II software. Adopts a modular design for expandable I/O and communication modules, and enables parallel execution of up to 32 user programs.
Status IndicationFront-panel LEDs indicate power, operation, fault and communication status for quick troubleshooting.
Product Advantages
High-Safety Redundant ArchitectureIt adopts 1oo2D dual-CPU redundancy design. Two 32-bit processors operate synchronously and cross-check results. The system keeps running when a single channel fails. It achieves SIL 3 safety level, and reaches SIL 4 in certain applications.
High Integration & Easy DeploymentCombines CPU and relay functions in one unit to reduce hardware quantity and wiring. It supports hot swapping, allowing on-site maintenance without system downtime.
Strong Anti-Interference & Wide Temperature AdaptationFeatures 24 V DC wide-range redundant power supply (9–36 V). Built-in protection against surge, reverse connection and EMC interference. Operating temperature ranges from -20℃ to +60℃, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Long-Term Data SecurityEquipped with an on-board lithium battery. Data can be retained for no less than 72 hours after power failure to prevent program loss and logic errors.
Seamless Multi-Protocol IntegrationComes with RS-485, CANopen and SafeEthernet interfaces, enabling reliable connection with DCS, PLC, HMI and third-party devices.

FAQ
1. Which systems is the F-CPU01 compatible with? Can it replace older CPU models?
It is designed for H41q/H51q systems. It can directly replace F8652E and F8652A. No reprogramming is required; only reconfiguration and program download are needed.
2. What accessories need to be purchased additionally?
Batteries, communication cables and I/O modules are not included in the standard package. Please separately purchase lithium battery (44 0000018), shielded twisted pair cables, Ethernet cables and terminal blocks.
3. The RUN indicator is off and the FAULT indicator stays on after power-on. How to troubleshoot?
- Power supply: Verify normal DC24V input and correct wiring polarity.
- Wiring: Check for loose or shorted communication and I/O connections.
- Program: Re-download and verify the program if it is corrupted or missing.
- Hardware: If the above checks fail, the CPU may be defective; please contact after-sales service for maintenance.
4. The slave CPU fails to take over when the master CPU malfunctions in a redundant system. What are the possible causes?
- DIP switch: Incorrect master-slave mode settings.
- Redundancy cable: Loose connection or cable damage.
- Program: Redundancy function is disabled or improperly configured.
- Hardware: Defective slave CPU. Inspect each item and reconfigure the redundancy settings.
5. How to resolve communication failures over RS-485 or CANopen?
- Wiring: Ground the shield at one end only and ensure correct polarity of twisted pairs.
- Baud rate & address: Match settings with slave devices via DIP switches.
- Interference: Keep cables away from inverters and high-power motors; install signal isolators if necessary.
- Hardware: Replace the CPU or communication module if the port is damaged.
6. The BATI indicator lights up for low battery alarm. What risks exist if the battery is not replaced?
This indicates the battery has reached the end of its service life. After power loss, stored data and programs may be lost or corrupted, resulting in logic errors and failure of safety functions upon system restart. It is recommended to replace the battery online within 3 months to avoid system downtime.
