PILZ control systems in the automation system PSS 4000

Merging of safety and automation

With the automation system PSS 4000, you can implement projects for safety and automation. Both worlds merge to form an optimally matched system which offers controllers in two performance classes.

The PSSuniversal PLC controllers are a suitable solution for interlinked, complex plants. They can be used as part of a network or as a stand-alone system. The PSSuniversal multi controllers are suitable for use on machines or in small plants. In combination with I/O modules, you can use these controllers to create control systems which are tailored to your individual requirements.

The PSSuniversal multi and PSSuniversal PLC controllers can be connected without problem in existing automation architectures and to various third-party controllers. They can then be used as a PLC controller or as a periphery system – for both safety and automation.

One solution for every requirement – Benefits

• Processing of safety and automation functions (feedback-free)

Diverse functions to meet your requirements

The automation system PSS 4000 is characterised by the perfect interaction between various components and the detailed software. Different functions support you in the implementation of your own specific automation project: safe motion monitoring, the Fast Control Unit for fast switching operations or the safe electronic rotary cam arrangement. Essential: PSSuniversal PLC or PSSuniversal multi controllers.

Applications and approvals

Our comprehensive know-how, covering a multitude of applications, has been applied in the controllers for the automation system PSS 4000. Different functions are available, to allow you to implement a wide variety of applications. In addition, the PLC controllers with the -R marking have special approvals. Furthermore, they meet standards which permit them to be used in the rail sector, for lifts/escalators and for fire protection. For hostile environments, we offer robust PLC controllers (-T), which can be used in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C.
