Safety systems are put to the test
Pilz has developed a structured method for inspecting the safety-critical elements of plant and machinery to enable the suitability of the safety measures to be validated.
Now, more trainees can get hands-on experience in developing safety-related control systems for machinery and processes.
Fully equipped with workbenches, built-in 24V DC and 240V AC power supplies, and appropriate IT equipment, the room lets trainees work individually or in pairs on specially designed training rigs.
These rigs play a role in the four-day City and Guilds Machinery Safety Training course, as well as the one-day course for maintenance engineers.
In addition, the room is used for courses relating to Pilz products.
For example, training rigs are used during the courses on PSS programmable safety systems, Safetybus P (the fail-safe Fieldbus protocol) and Pnozmulti software-configurable, modular safety controllers.
