Integration in Profinet networks

Now available the new Profinet communications module (connectable to the left of the base unit) for Pilz’s configurable safety system PNOZmulti 2, which thus becomes even more flexible with the offer of a further communications option in addition to Ethernet/IP, CANopen, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Profibus DP and Powerlink.

PNOZmulti 2 is an open system, thus independent from the management system upstream and hence easily usable in various sectors.
In addition to the connection to Profinet (IO device), the Pilz safety system offers other advantages.

It ensures that there is no data collision thanks to the interface switch and the smooth running of the diagnostics and control information, ensuring contained downtime as well as high plant availability; control and signaling via bidirectional communications module is provided as well as activation of the PVIS diagnostics interface in the PNOZmulti Configurator, with the ability to also integrate customized texts.
The use of PNOZmulti, the international safety standard for all types of machines, thus represents a safe choice.
