Pilz offers support for installing safety systems
Pilz Automation Technology will assist with installing and commissioning machinery, ensuring that safety-related control systems are properly implemented and tested.
Running to 174 pages, the Application Manual covers all of the most common types of application, such as emergency stops, feedback loops (for monitoring contacts), safety gates, sensors, actuators, enabling switches and two-hand controls.
For most of these, alternative applications are described for systems complying with the requirements of EN 954-1 Category 2 and 4 (Categories 1 and 3 can also be catered for very easily).
Within the above application types, 'sensors' covers AOPD (active opto-electronic protection device) monitoring, AOPD muting monitoring, light guards, area scanners and safety mats.
Actuator applications include specialist tasks such as driving and monitoring press safety valves, monitoring the operating range of robots and similar automation, and frequency converters (monitoring the two main contactors that separate the frequency converter from the drive for 'category 1' stops).
For each application, the manual provides a description of the safety functions, an explanation of how compliance with the requirements of the appropriate EN 954-1 category is achieved, a circuit diagram, timing diagram and programming notes.
In addition, all of the relevant Pilz part numbers are listed for the hardware and software function blocks.
The PSS and SafetyBUS p Application Manual is a 'must have' document for anyone contemplating using a programmable safety system and/or a SafetyBUS p safe fieldbus.
