From a programming tool to a hub for the digitalization of data from safety devices

HIMA introduces new SILworX version 14.0.0

Dubai, 16^th November 2023

• Efficiency gains in engineering, diagnostics and testing of safety applications
• Plug-ins help to make the infrastructure more flexible
• Collaborative engineering with a streamlinedapproach to working on multi-file
• Automatic testing of safety equipment and communication

The development of new Industry 4.0 technologies and functions is much faster than the further development of classic process automation equipment. Adding new functions to safety devices requires particular care. The engineering, diagnostics and test tools in the new version ofSILworX® will become the hub for the digitalization of data from safety devices.

Whether in the engineering of large and distributed automation projects, in the diagnosis of faults or in regular testing, the specification, configuration and maintenance of safety devices in process plants requires a level of effort and careful attention that should not be underestimated. If new functions are added to components of safety devices, time-consuming recertification was traditionally necessary. HIMA is taking a new and important step in terms of digitalization with the next version of SILworX to help to reduce this effort through consistent digitalization and new functions in order to simplify these tasks while still being able to use modern Industry 4.0 functions flexibly.
