involved is often very high. With the acquisition of Sella Controls, HIMA has further strengthened its portfolio,
particularly in the field of railway electrification. The innovative solutions enable the control and safety-critical
shutdown of the traction power supply and thus ensure the efficient and safe operation of energy management
systems. At InnoTrans, the company will be showcasing solutions for traction power control, such as 'Conventional
operational control' and 'Safety-critical shutdown' which will be illustrated using practical examples. Both solutions
utilise TrackLink® SCADA and help avoid operational failures and ensure the energy infrastructure remains robust
even under demanding conditions.
Rail Control System
HIMA's Rail Control Solutions provide intelligent automation for critical railway infrastructure such as interlockings,
level crossings, and depots. These systems are designed to ensure safe control and optimised operation, reduce
human error and increase the system's overall efficiency. By using state-of-the-art automation technology, the
safety experts help railway operators meet the challenges of a digital world while maintaining the highest safety
standards. At InnoTrans the electronic interlocking solution based on the HIMA Open Safety Platform will be
demonstrated. Using a practical example with the depot simulator system, visitors can experience a SIL 4
interlocking system of a fully controlled and signalled depot.

Mobile Solutions for Safety on the Road
The company’s mobile solutions guarantee the safety and functionality of onboard applications and ensure that
railway vehicles can be operated safely in different environments. For example, the functionality of the TrackLink 3
solution suite will be demonstrated, which ensures reliability and efficiency for many onboard applications and
makes rail transport safer for operators and passengers. HIMA’s TrackLink Overspeed Prevention System is a
world innovation delivering the first and only SIL 2-certified overspeed prevention system for tramways.
Safe and Secure
Digitalisation brings with it new challenges, particularly in the area of cyber security. HIMA's partnership with
genua, a renowned market leader in IT security, addresses the growing concerns about cyber security in railway
operations. The collaboration creates a secure ecosystem that guarantees maximum security for railway operators:
safety and security are managed independently but in parallel, ensuring robust protection against potential cyber
threats while maintaining operational integrity. At InnoTrans, it will be demonstrated how remote maintenance
access can be efficiently secured in different environments.
Safe HMI
One of the product innovations that HIMA will be showcasing at InnoTrans 2024 is a new safe HMI (SIL 3). HIMA is
thus eliminating the disadvantages of conventional, hard-wired panels: they are inflexible, complex to set up and
difficult to maintain. Based on proven HIMA technology, standard protocols and DEUTA hardware, HIMA provides a
safe display solution that shows the operator critical SIL 3-rated information that would normally require a
hardwired panel. In addition, the HMI offers a touch function (SIL 2). This enables, among other things, the safe
display of an overhead line shutdown/earthing with an indication of the active and safe (earthed) status as well as
the activation or deactivation of the overhead line via the HMI. The corresponding alarm function of such a system
is also displayed.

‘Our global rail team is looking forward to present at InnoTrans how we can support our customers in digitalization
by reaching the highest safety and security standards and creating sustainable solutions,’ explains Jörg de la
Motte.
