Base Unit for Configurable Control Systems



Pilz adds new base unit to its range of configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 PNOZ m B1.

Pilz has added its base unit PNOZ m B1 to the range of configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2. Not only can it offer higher performance for machines with a larger function range, i.e. for larger projects, but it also provides a connection to common fieldbus systems via the corresponding expansion modules.

The base unit PNOZ m B1 contains no inputs or outputs: expansion modules are used to adapt the system to the application. Two integrated Ethernet interfaces help save costs, as there is no need to connect an ETH expansion module. The number of expansion modules that can be connected on the right-hand side has been increased to eight on the new base unit. "Short downtimes and high plant availability are guaranteed by connection to common fieldbus systems via the respective expansion modules," said a company spokesperson.

The maximum program size of the PNOZ m B1 has been quadrupled: up to 1024 connections can be inserted between the elements. Projects can be stored on a USB memory stick, which allows several projects to be stored and enables machine-specific management. One of the programs can be selected to run via the Project Manager. It is also possible to set the date and time for PNOZ m B1 in the PNOZmulti Configurator. An illuminated display helps to provide on-site diagnostics. PNOZ m B1 can be used from Version 10 of the software tool PNOZmulti Configurator.

The configurable control system PNOZmulti 2 can also be connected to the fieldbus system CC-Link, in addition to Profinet, Profibus, Ethernet/IP and more. If PNOZmulti 2 is to be connected to another fieldbus system, this can be achieved without having to change the program, since one fieldbus module can be swapped for another module.

The configurable control systems PNOZmulti 2 are designed for implementing multiple safety functions on plant or machinery. The system is modular and expandable, so it can grow with the machine as it expands or as its requirements change. PNOZmulti 2 can be connected to common communication networks. The safety architecture can be created independently of the higher-level operational control system, because its application is independent of the machine or plant type, country or industry.
