Pilz - The new stand-alone basic module - PNOZ m c0


With a width of only 22.5 mm, this extremely compact basic module monitors up to four safety functions on machines. Depending on the application, safety requirements up to the highest safety category PL (Performance Level) e or SIL CL 3 can thus be realized.

The new basic module thus enables high productivity of smaller machines. This makes PNOZ m C0 a safe, powerful and highly cost-effective solution for small machines in various industries and application areas, such as in packaging, robotic cells or in the Food and Beverage sector.

The extremely narrow PNOZ m C0 has the design characteristics of a safety relay, but is just as powerful as a configurable safety controller.

It has eight safe inputs and four safe semiconductor outputs at a construction width of only 22.5 mm. In this way, up to four safety functions can be reliably monitored.

These include: emergency stop, safety gate monitoring, safety light curtains and two-hand control. The multitude of functions and the space-saving construction width minimize costs.


Digitally supported engineering
All safety circuits of this stand-alone basic module are also created with the PNOZmulti Configurator software tool, which in the basic version is free of license fees and intuitively operable.

As of version 11.1, your own safety requirements can be realized easily and flexibly: For this purpose, the tool makes available a large number of approved software modules for monitoring safety functions up to PL e/SIL CL 3.

All set up safety architectures can be used independently of a PLC control. Thereby, the safety circuitry can be transferred directly to the device via a USB cable.

Digitally supported engineering minimizes configuration times and thus costs for this step in the life cycle.


Easily expand as needed
If the number of safety functions on small machines increases, the "small" project can be easily migrated using the software tool.

Future expansions of the machine or plant are possible at any time: If more safety functions are required, modular expandable basic modules with sufficient power are available for machines with a wider range of functions.

Depending on the requirements, the basic module is tailored to the respective application. In addition, the modularly expandable basic modules offer high connectivity through connection to all common fieldbus systems, convenient diagnostics and web-based visualization.

Users benefit from high flexibility.


Solution-oriented and versatile basis
In combination with safety light curtains PSENopt II, the modular safety gate system PSENmlock or the emergency stop buttons Pilz PITestop, for example, users from the most diverse industries and fields of application get a safe overall solution from one supplier.

This provides support in the packaging industry - for example, in palletizing or carton feeding - and in the food & beverage industry, for example, in filling machines.

Also in the area of robotics or special machine construction, solutions with the new stand-alone basic module enable higher productivity and profitability of machines. 
 

The new basic module from the PNOZmulti 2 family is currently in good supply, so you are quickly assured of an economical, compact safety solution.
