Pilz Automation Technology product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Aug 10, 2009
Pilz Automation Technology is launching the PNOZmulti Mini multifunctional safety controller for applications up to BS EN ISO 13849-1 Ple and BS EN 62061 SIL 3.
The unit is 45mm wide, features all of the safety monitoring functions of the PNOZmulti, and has an integral LCD display for status information and diagnostic messages.
Together with the low-cost 'lite' licence for the PNOZmulti Configurator Software, Pilz now offers a start-up option for applications requiring from three safety functions upwards.
The first PNOZmulti Mini model, the PNOZmm0p, is multifunctional, program configurable and designed to replace from three to five traditional safety relays.
The controller performs monitoring of safety functions such as emergency stop switches, guard interlock switches, safety sensors, light curtains and other safety devices, plus the same unit can execute standard control functions.
The PNOZmm0p features 20 safe digital inputs, four safe semiconductor outputs (capable of being configured up to SIL3, PLe), and a USB configuration interface.
The PNOZmulti Mini adopts graphical Configurator Software, which is used to create the Application Program.
The program is then downloaded from the user's computer directly to the PNOZmulti Mini.
For serial production, the Application Program can also be stored and transferred via the removable chip card.
The PNOZmulti Configurator Software is used for the whole range of PNOZmulti products, but users now have the option to purchase a 'lite' licence that has been released specifically for use only with the PNOZm0p (PNOZmulti) and PNOZmm0p base units.
