HIMA B9302 997009302 EABT3 Safety Input Module

The HIMA B9302 997009302 EABT3 Safety Input Module is a 19-inch, 4-unit-high I/O subrack assembly from HIMA Paul Hildebrandt GmbH (Brühl, Germany). It hosts up to 16 safety-related I/O modules in a HIMA safety controller (H41q / H51q / HIMatrix family), providing mechanical mounting, 24 V DC power distribution, fuse monitoring, and EA-bus coupling to the central rack.

Key Features

• 19-inch I/O rack, 4 units high, with integrated cable tray and hinged label receptacle
• 16 slots reserved for I/O modules (slots 1–16)
• Factory-fitted F 7553 coupling module (slot 17) for EA-bus connection to the central rack
• Integrated BV 7032 flat cable (0.5 m, 1 m, or custom length variants)
• Optional 1–4 × F 7133 fused 4-fold power distribution modules (slots 18–21) with fuse monitoring via neutral contacts
• Per-slot earth bar (Faston 6.3 × 0.8 mm) for module grounding
• 24 V DC system voltage distribution with potential distributor terminals
• Suitable for SIL 3 safety applications (IEC 61508)

Installation Notes

1. Mount the rack into the 19-inch cabinet frame and secure all four rack units; provide rear access for bus and supply cabling.
2. Install I/O modules into slots 1–16; each slot’s earth bar must be bonded via the Faston connector.
3. Connect the EA-bus flat cable (BV 7032) between the central rack and the F 7553 coupling module; total bus length must not exceed 30 m.
4. Wire 24 V DC system supply to the EL+/L+ terminals and return to L-/GND potential distributors; use the prescribed wire cross-sections (min. 2 × 2.5 mm² for L- to the central bus bar).
5. If using F 7133 power distribution modules, insert them into slots 18–21 and verify fuse monitoring contacts; jumper the fault contact of any empty distribution slot.
6. After commissioning, check the fuse-monitor signal and the coupling-module watchdog (WD) line at XG.15 for a healthy bus state.

Common Questions

Is B9302 a digital input module?

No. According to the HIMA data sheet, B 9302 (9912) is an assembly kit consisting of the FK 1406 I/O rack, an F 7553 coupling module, and a BV 7032 flat cable. The digital input function is provided by separately ordered I/O modules (e.g., F 6217 series) installed in its slots.

How many I/O modules can the rack hold?

16 modules in slots 1–16, plus up to four F 7133 fused power distribution modules in slots 18–21. Slot 17 is occupied by the factory-fitted F 7553 coupling module.

Which HIMA systems is it compatible with?

The rack is used with HIMA H41q / H51q safety controllers and the HIMatrix platform, all certified to SIL 3.

What is the maximum bus distance?

The EA-bus (I/O bus) total length is limited to 30 m; the BV 7032 flat cable itself is supplied in 0.5 m, 1 m, or custom lengths.
