This makes PNOZ s60 suitable for use in applications that require a Safety Lockout System (SLS), that is, when plants are held in a safe, electrically de-energised state. The safe voltage monitor PNOZ s60 completes the safety relay PNOZsigma product group and fulfils the requirements for the implementation of SLS applications as prescribed by law in the USA. PNOZ s60 monitors de-energised 1-phase or 3-phase supplies with neutral conductor. Two switching thresholds can be set: 12 V or the 6 V common in th... read more

What’s so special about it? No specific expert knowledge is required to use ROS packages for programming, offering entirely new possibilities for the use of robots. Just as in automation, the trend in robotics is heading towards openness and interoperability. To satisfy these requirements you need a robot controller that can be used across a range of manufacturers. Until now many robot manufacturers have relied on their own proprietary controllers. Often these operate with pre-programmed paths, so if any o... read more

Manufacturers and operators can ensure that their plant and machinery complies with the US requirements for machinery safety. The export and/or commissioning of machinery in the US is subject to complex specifications that may vary depending on the state or territory. Pilz offers a relevant services package for compliance of machinery for the US market. What's special about that: Pilz customers worldwide have "their" contact with the relevant Pilz subsidiary in their home country. The local contact coord... read more

New strategies for the safety of plants and machines must take into account both security (IT security) and also safety (machinery safety). Pilz shows how this is possible in the “Security” white paper. Ultimately, safe operation in the Smart Factory is only guaranteed when the relevant data are reliably transferred. The old saying is true: Safety measures must not impair the productivity of plant and machinery. That calls for a holistic approach to safety & security. In the “Security” white paper, expert... read more

What’s more, with PSENscan applications can now be designed with greater flexibility, which minimises downtimes and increases cost-effectiveness. Thanks to integrated muting inputs, applications can now be monitored in which material is simultaneously transported in and out. The material is detected by the safety laser scanner and it can cross the protected field without deceleration of the conveyor. This will avoid downtimes and increase productivity. With the PSENscan Light, Master and Slave versions yo... read more

With PITmode fusion, Pilz now offers a modular operating mode selection and access permission system. The modular system is characterised by more flexibility for functionally safe operating mode selection and for the control of access permissions to plant and machinery. This way, PITmode fusion enables efficient operation mode selection and access permission management that covers both safety and security specifications. The new PITmode fusion from Pilz consists of the reader unit PITreader with RFID tec... read more
