Direct installation possible
April 1st 2008 Pilz is launching a new IP67
digital input module for use
with SafetyBUS p, the safe,
open industrial fieldbus
system. This will help to save
costs for machine builders
and system integrators as it
can be installed directly on
the machine, thereby
avoiding the need for the
inputs to be connected inside
a control cabinet. Not only
can this eliminate the cost of
a cabinet, but it also reduces
the work involved in planning
and installation – helps save
valuable engineering time.
Thanks to the use of M12
connectors, the PSS67 F 16DI
SB-T input module is very
easy to install, with no
complex wiring. Ready-made,
plug-in leads help to avoid
wiring errors, and the plug-in
connections make
maintenance and sensor
replacement easier.
Additional benefits arise
when the input modules are
installed on modular plant
and machinery.
The input module monitors
safety functions locally and
communicates with the PSS
programmable safety and
control system via SafetyBUS
p. A maximum of 16 safe
input devices can be
connected, which may be 16
single-or eight dual-channel
safety-related devices with or
without test pulses. More articles from Pilz Automation Technology: |
