The safety-related F3 DIO 8/8 01 remote I/O is a compact unit built in a metal housing and equipped with 8 digital inputs, 8 digital DO+ outputs (L- ground), 2 digital DO- outputs (S+ ground), and 2 pulsed outputs. The digital outputs DO4+, DO8+, DO4-, and DO8- can also be wired as 2-pole connections when needed. The module is available in several model variants for both SILworX and ELOP II Factory, as shown in the screen referenced.
These remote I/O units connect to individual HIMax or HIMatrix controllers over safeethernet. Their job is to expand the I/O capacity of a system, and they don't run any user program on their own.

Key Differences Summary
01 vs. 014: The 01 is the standard model. The 014 is the rugged version built for wider temperature ranges and high-vibration environments (like rail or heavy transport).
Software: You must select the model that matches your specific software environment (ELOP II Factory vs. SILworX).
While the system is being booted, all LEDs are lit simultaneously.
| LED |
Color |
Status |
Description |
| RUN |
Green |
On |
Device in RUN, normal operation |
|
|
Blinking |
Device in STOP; a new operating system is being loaded |
|
|
Off |
Device is not in the RUN state |
| ERROR |
Red |
On |
Device is in ERROR STOP state; internal fault detected by self-tests (e.g., hardware faults or cycle time overrun). The processor can only be restarted via PADT (reboot). |
|
|
Blinking |
ERROR blinks and all other LEDs light simultaneously when the boot loader detects an OS fault in flash memory and waits for a new OS to be loaded |
|
|
Off |
No faults detected |
| PROG |
Yellow |
On |
A new configuration is being loaded |
|
|
Blinking |
Device switches from INIT to STOP; a new OS is being written to flash ROM |
|
|
Off |
No configuration or OS is being loaded |
| FORCE |
Yellow |
Off |
The FORCE LED of a remote I/O is not functioning; FORCE LED of the controller signals forcing of a remote I/O |
| FAULT |
Yellow |
On |
Loaded configuration is not valid; new OS is corrupted (after OS download) |
|
|
Blinking |
Fault while loading a new OS; one or multiple I/O faults occurred |
|
|
Off |
No faults occurred |
| OSL |
Yellow |
Blinking |
Operating system emergency loader active |
|
|
Off |
Emergency loader inactive |
| BL |
Yellow |
Blinking |
OS and OSL binary defective or hardware fault (INIT_FAIL) |
|
|
Off |
No faults occurred |
Line Control Purpose
Line control is used to detect short-circuits or open-circuits and can be configured for remote I/O, e.g., on EMERGENCY STOP inputs compliant with Cat. 4 and PL e according to EN ISO 13849-1.
Connection Setup
01. Digital Output to Input Loop:
Connect the system's digital outputs TO 1 through TO 2 to the digital inputs DI of the same system.
02. Pulsed Line Detection:
The remote I/O continuously pulses the outputs to detect:
• Short-circuits
• Open-circuits
on the lines connected to the digital inputs.
03. Configuration:
In SILworX, configure the pulsed outputs via:
Value [BOOL] -> system variable
In ELOP II Factory, use:
DO[01].Value system signal
Note: The variables for pulsed outputs must:
• Begin with channel 1
• Be in direct sequential order
