myPNOZ – the new, modular safety relay

The new modular safety relay myPNOZ is produced individually according to your requirements in batch size 1. An easy-to-use device that’s flexible in application and boasts clever features, it ensures reliable monitoring of your safety functions. The German Innovation Award honours products and solutions that distinguish themselves primarily by their user centricity and added value compared to earlier solutions, across all industrial sectors. After all: innovations that shape the future and improve life can be found in all sectors. Sometimes you see it at first glance – but quite often you don’t. That’s what the German Innovation Award wants to change. It makes magnificent achievements visible to a wide audience. The jury is composed of independent, interdisciplinary experts from industry, science, institutions and finance. http://www.pilz.com

With the user-friendly myPNOZ Creator, you simply create your individual myPNOZ. You choose the required safety functions, and myPNOZ Creator puts the ideal hardware together. You can check your configuration with the simulation function. If everything fits, your myPNOZ is ordered with just a few quick clicks. Each myPNOZ is tailor-made and pre-assembled by us in batch size 1 according to your individual configuration. We also set the parameters to suit your specifications, e.g. regarding the start type or time delay. Your modular relay will be sent to you following a system test. http://www.pilz.com

Tailor-made safety and clever product features are convincing features of the modular safety relay. It consists of a head module and a maximum of eight expansion modules and ensures safe monitoring of 2 to 16 input functions such as emergency stop, safety gates, safety light curtains, two-hand IIIA/C controls and enabling switches.

Safety switches with guard locking

The safety gate cannot be opened until all hazardous machine movements are stopped. A restart is not possible until the safety gate is closed and locked. It must not be possible to either defeat or manipulate the safeguards. Movable guards such as swing gates and sliding gates, flaps or covers, can be found in almost every application. If there are dangerous overrun movements, a safety locking device with appropriate manipulation protection in accordance with EN ISO 14119 is required. Reliable and efficient protection of safeguards includes not only the safety locking device but also an additional control unit and suitable wiring and control technology. Pilz safety sensors can be connected in series and are compatible with other products and interfaces. They perfectly fit into their plant environment and also enable Pilz components to be retrofitted to your plant. http://www.pilz.com

Safety switches

Safety switches can be used to monitor the widest range of safety gates. They ensure that hazardous machine movements stop when the safeguard is opened. The most diverse operating principles are available, such as mechanical, magnetic or coded safety switches.

Need a safety locking device for your application because there are dangerous overrun movements? Here too, we offer a wide portfolio of suitable products. All the information you need can be found under Safety switches with guard locking. http://www.pilz.com

For monitoring of gates in safety fences, for covers, flaps and roll-up doors or for position detection: the safety switches PSENmech, PSENmag and PSENcode are suitable here. Our safety switches are particularly economical in meeting the requirements of EN ISO 14119 and combine productivity with safety and user friendliness.

Safe position monitoring

For position monitoring with an actuator you can use the magnetic safety switches PSENmag and the coded safety switch PSENcode. With the version of the coded safety switch PSEN csx.19, up to three positions can be safely monitored and differentiated. The introduction of safe position monitoring refers to the implementation of systems that track and monitor the position of objects or individuals in order to ensure their safety. This is particularly crucial in various industries where the exact location of equipment or personnel is essential for preventing accidents or ensuring proper functioning of machinery. By accurately monitoring the position of objects, organizations can identify potential risks, optimize workflows, and implement measures to prevent mishaps. Safe position monitoring systems utilize sensors to gather data and provide real-time information, allowing for quick response and intervention when necessary. http://www.pilz.com

The importance of safe position monitoring cannot be overstated, as it plays a critical role in safeguarding individuals and equipment in various industries. By implementing effective monitoring systems, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Safe position monitoring enables organizations to identify hazards, prevent collisions, and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Moreover, it helps optimize operations by providing data on the location and movement of objects or personnel. This information allows organizations to enhance efficiency, minimize downtime, and prevent costly errors or delays.
