Pilz PITgatebox IOLS Smart Safety Gate Control

Click2Contact

Pilz has expanded its IO-Link Safety portfolio with the PITgatebox IOLS safety gate control for modern automation environments. Designed to work seamlessly with the IO-Link Safety Master, the control unit transmits real-time diagnostic data — such as gate status and operating conditions — directly to the plant controller. This enables faster fault detection, reduced downtime and improved machine availability.

Built on the open, standardised IO-Link Safety protocol, the safety gate control system is designed to simplify both commissioning and maintenance. Its point-to-point connection can reduce wiring complexity, while standardised configuration can minimise set-up time.

The device can operate as a standalone unit or integrate with Pilz safety switches like PSENmlock, PSENslock 2 and PSENcode, supporting applications with or without guard locking. This flexibility allows users to create a fully modular safety gate solution tailored to their needs.

Combining pushbuttons, key switches and E-STOP functions in a single configurable unit, the device can enhance usability while ensuring maximum safety. The system is also designed to reduce maintenance costs and improve operational efficiency.
