Universal platform
June 1st 2006 Available from Pilz, the PSSuniversal is a decentralised, modular I/O and control platform that is economical for standard control functions and/or safety-related functions in mid-range and high-end automation projects.
Standard control functions and safety functions are carefully united, yet remain separated in order to maintain the integrity of the safety-related functions.
The system offers users a high degree of flexibility; tailored systems can be easily created, modified or expanded at any time. Up to 64 input/output modules for safety-related and standard applications can be installed in any order alongside a single PSSuniversal head module.
Flexibility is achieved by a series of head modules that are combined with base modules; the electronic modules are installed on to these base modules, enabling the system to be matched to the specific requirements of each application.
With each I/O module handling only two or four I/O, customers only pay for modules that they use.
Communication via all common standard fieldbus protocols is supported, as well as SafetyBUS p. More articles from Pilz Automation Technology: |
