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
