PSSuniversal 2 Remote I/O System

Aug. 26, 2020
Pilz Automation's remote I/O modules pinpoint diagnostics to locate faults so issues can be rectified quickly.

Pilz expands its remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2 by a head module with EtherNet/IP interface. This means that PSSuniversal 2 offers the necessary openness for smooth communication in various control environments on an Ethernet basis.

 

In the remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2 there is already a head module available with PROFINET PROFIsafe interface, in addition to the EtherNet/IP head module with CIP safety. This openness makes the data exchange with the various master control systems easier, irrespective of the machine type and the existing system environment.

 

The remote I/O system can be adapted by changing the head module for existing system environments. Exchanging the head module is quick and easy: To do this, users save their configuration data locally on a microSD card. Then you can easily transfer the data to the new head module with EtherNet/IP interface. The I/O modules can be used universally in an identical manner for the various safety protocols.

  • The fine granularity of the system means precise adjustment to your specific requirements
  • Modules are simple to exchange for subsequent system adjustments
  • Functional safety as a basic function
  • Pinpoint diagnostics, faults are located and rectified quickly
  • Minimum dimensions due to maximum packing density, with up to 16 channels on 0.5 in. (12.5 mm)
  • Any mixed structure comprising safety and standard functions
  • Up to 64 modules can be installed in any order
  • Backplane as carrier unit for the modules ensures simple exchange when changes are made to the system
