Pilz PNOZ m C0 standalone safety controller base unit

The PNOZ m C0 standalone base unit from the PNOZmulti 2 small controller range is now available in Australia.

PNOZ m C0 offers numerous functions in a compact housing: eight safe inputs and four safe semiconductor outputs in a width of 22.5 mm monitor safety functions on small machines. Depending on the application, users can achieve PL e or SIL CL 3. There are also two test pulse outputs, both of which can be configured as standard outputs.

LED indications are provided for error messages, diagnostics, supply voltage, output circuits and input circuits, and monitoring of shorts across contacts is achieved by means of test pulse outputs at the inputs.

Users can create a safety circuit using the PNOZmulti Configurator software tool, which provides access to a large collection of authorised software blocks without having to pay any licence fees. The PNOZmulti Configurator I is designed to help accomplish safety requirements simply, flexibly and intuitively, whether it be for emergency stop, safety gate monitoring, light curtain or two-hand operation. The safety configuration only takes a few clicks. PNOZmulti can be used regardless of the machine type, plant type, country or branch of industry.

The safety circuit can be transferred directly to the unit via a USB cable and stored directly there, or alternatively, via the chip card.

If the number of safety functions on a machine rises, users can migrate to the modular expandable base units PNOZ m B0, PNOZ m B0.1 or PNOZ m B1.
