Pilz is offering a comprehensive range of programmable safety systems which the company claims is a novel solution to safety applications.
The PSS range is a three-channel control system which produces a faster scan time than a two-channel system, so safety functions on very fast moving devices are successful. Pilz however, has taken the three-channel structure one step further. The three processors used are from three different manufacturers, so that potential design and batch faults cannot affect all three channels.
The Pilz PSS systems not only cover the safety sections of a system, but also the control tasks, without interfering with each other. The PSS range contains four systems built to a universal design.
