Guide makes it easier to design control
circuits
Guide helps designers prepare circuit diagrams, as well as maintenance engineers who are troubleshooting or modifying existing safety-related control circuits.
A free Wiring Guide from Pilz Automation Technology makes it easier to design and maintain machinery safety-related control circuits that use the Pilz PNozelog range of microprocessor-based safety relays This family of multi-functional safety circuit monitors covers all safety applications from category two to four in accordance with BS EN 954-1

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.
Courses cover safety standards and products
Having sold out many of its training courses during the first half of the year, Pilz Automation Technology has now published its course timetable for July to December 2008.
All models have internal microprocessor-based electronic logic, with fail-safe outputs consisting of electronic semiconductor switching elements with built-in short-circuit protection.
Advantages of the units include compact dimensions, low power consumption, long service life, resistance to vibration, capability for handling low switching currents and increased diagnostic capabilities.
The multi-functionality means logistics and inventory costs are reduced and product selection simplified.
The precise functionality of each product is determined by the way it is wired.
Pilz has therefore published the guide to help designers prepare circuit diagrams, as well as maintenance engineers who are troubleshooting or modifying existing safety-related control circuits.
Application examples are used to demonstrate, for example, how to set the delay time, how to wire a unit for single-channel or dual-channel operation, how to configure an automatic reset or monitored reset, how to use the unit to detect short circuits across the contacts, how to configure a start-up test and how to configure logical 'and' and 'not' functions.
There are over 150 pages in the guide, which is available free as a PDF file (2.7Mbyte).
