Description
Core Product Summary (Brand / Model / Key Attributes)
The HIMA F60 MI 24 01 (MI 24 01) is a plug-in input module for the modular HIMatrix F60 safety controller system. It provides 24 individually configurable channels that can operate either as analog current inputs (0/4…20 mA) or as digital inputs for proximity switches (NAMUR / EN 60947-5-6), safety proximity switches, or resistor-wired contacts.
The module is TÜV-certified for safety-related applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508, IEC 61511, IEC 62061), Category 4 and PL e (EN ISO 13849-1). It installs in slots 3–8 of the F60 subrack and is suitable for use in Ex Zone 2.

Detailed Product Overview
The MI 24 01 is a versatile input module designed for the HIMA HIMatrix F60 modular safety system. Each of its 24 channels can be independently configured in the engineering tool (SILworX or ELOP II Factory) to function either as a 0/4…20 mA analog current input or as a digital input suitable for NAMUR proximity switches, safety proximity switches, or dry contacts wired with appropriate resistors.
Because the analog inputs use internal shunts, they are current-only and cannot be used for voltage measurement. Analog and digital functions are mutually exclusive on a given channel; the selected mode is set during configuration and determines the channel’s behavior in the safety application.
The module occupies one slot in the F60 subrack (positions 3 through 8). Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the power supply and CPU modules. Multiple MI 24 01 modules can be installed in a single subrack to increase input capacity. Sensor supply outputs are provided for powering passive sensors or proximity switches.
The module carries full TÜV certification for use in safety instrumented systems up to SIL 3 and is approved for installation in Ex Zone 2 when the F60 system is mounted in a suitable enclosure. All safety-related diagnostics and reaction logic are handled by the F60 CPU; the MI 24 01 itself performs signal acquisition and local diagnostics.

Dimensions, Mounting & Connection Notes
The MI 24 01 is a standard plug-in module for the F60 subrack. Field wiring is connected via the front connectors; pin assignments are grouped by channel and include sensor supply, signal, and ground terminals. Exact pin-out tables are provided in the official HIMA manual HI 800 209. The module is installed by sliding it into the subrack guide rails and securing it. Observe the special conditions for Ex Zone 2 mounting given in the manual and the system declaration of conformity.
FAQ
What is the HIMA F60 MI 24 01?
It is a 24-channel plug-in input module for the HIMatrix F60 system. Each channel can be configured as either a 0/4…20 mA analog input or a digital input for proximity switches or contacts.
Can analog and digital signals be mixed on the same module?
Yes. Each of the 24 channels is configured independently. However, a single channel cannot operate in both modes at the same time.
What types of digital sensors are supported?
Proximity switches according to EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR), safety proximity switches, and contacts wired with suitable resistors.
Is the module SIL 3 certified?
Yes. It is TÜV-certified for safety-related applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508, IEC 61511, IEC 62061), Category 4 and PL e.
Where is the module installed?
In slots 3–8 of an F60 subrack. Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the power supply and CPU modules.
Does it support voltage inputs?
No. The analog channels are current inputs only (internal shunts).
Verification & Troubleshooting Notes
Confirm that each channel is correctly configured in the engineering tool for the intended signal type (analog current or digital). Verify sensor supply wiring and polarity for proximity switches. Check that the F60 system power supply is within the 24 VDC tolerance.
Diagnostic information from the module is reported to the CPU and can be evaluated in the safety application. In case of channel faults, refer to the error codes and diagnostic bits described in the HI 800 209 manual. Ensure the subrack enclosure meets the requirements for any applicable hazardous-area installation.
