Pilz PNOZmulti Mini configurable safety relay systems

Additional base units are now available for Pilz’s configurable safety relays PNOZmulti Mini. These enable quick, easy connection of communication and safe link modules, as well as contact expansion modules. As a result, interlinked and decentralised plants can now also be monitored safely using PNOZmulti Mini.

Communication and safe link modules are available for the expandable base units.

The communication modules are designed for connection to Ethernet TCP/IP and Modbus TCP and have a serial interface. The expandable base unit PNOZ mm0.2p also provides an integrated multilink interface. The base units are easy to configure using the PNOZmulti Configurator software tool.

The safe link modules enable data to be exchanged between multiple PNOZmulti Mini base units and also between PNOZmulti Mini and the control system PNOZmulti. Sensor technology can also be connected outside the control cabinet: up to four decentralised IP67 modules can be connected. As a result, all safety functions can be monitored not just safely, but directly in the field. The safe link modules are designed up to PLe in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL 3 in accordance with IEC 62061.

The expandable PNOZmulti Mini is particularly suited for use in safety systems which have a high number of distributed process plant items such as in the FMCG, food and beverage, packaging, and pulp and paper industries.
