PILZ: New Safety Gate Monitoring Units

PILZ

April 30, 2018

Pilz is expanding the safety gate system PSENslock to include two new product types: one type offers expanded diagnostic functions, while the other type enables OSSD outputs (Output Signal Switching Device) to be switched independently from the guard locking device.

PSENslock provides safety gate monitoring with electromagnetic process guarding for gates, flaps and covers in one compact product.
The new type with expanded diagnostic function provides an additional benefit, particularly in application areas in which several PSENslock are used. Users can immediately detect where a guard locking device has not been activated, due to contamination for example. The second new type of safety gate system enables the OSSDs (Output Signal Switching Device) to switch independently from the state of guard locking. PSENslock are designed for applications up to PL e of EN ISO 13849-1, SIL 3 of EN/IEC 62061.
