FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What is the maximum load current per channel for the F2 DO 16 02?
A1: Each channel supports up to 2A for relay-type outputs. The total combined current for all channels must not exceed 8A.

Q2: Can this module be used in explosive environments?
A2: Yes, but only with the ATEX-certified variant (order suffix “-EX”). Standard version is rated for IP20.

Q3: Is hot-swapping possible with the F2 DO 16 02?
A3: No, the module must be powered down before installation or removal to prevent damage.

Q4: What software is needed for configuration?
A4: HIMA’s Safety Manager or equivalent engineering tool is required for parameterization.

Q5: Are there redundant output options?
A5: Redundancy must be implemented at the system level using dual modules and voting logic.

Q6: What is the typical lifespan of the relay contacts?
A6: Under normal conditions (2A resistive load), the relays last for ≥100,000 cycles.
