Communication modules for PSSuniversal

The decentralised I/O system PSSuniversal is the solution for periphery expansion. It is connected to the higher level controller as remote I/O.

I/O modules PSSuniversal

Using our I/O modules, you can adapt your controllers and I/O systems individually to your requirements.

IP67 modules for solutions without control cabinet

With the modules PSS67 I/O and PDP67 with protection type IP67, Pilz offers solutions for applications decentrally and directly in the field. You can install the modules directly on the machine. This optimises the work involved in programming and wiring. The module electronics are fully encapsulated. As such they are dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. They save time, money and space in the control cabinet.

Access for Authorised Persons Only

Access for Authorised Persons Only

The best gate safeguard or access control is worthless if unauthorised access to your machine is possible via the network. A holistic safety concept is required, which considers both machinery safety and industrial security. If security gaps should arise, then loss of quality and unplanned machine downtimes are two of the potential scenarios. So it’s all the more important to protect plant and machinery in such a way that only authorised personnel have access and tampering with the control systems via attacks from outside is prevented.
