New insulation monitor PMD s20 is simpler to operate - Easy-turn operation
PMD s20 has now been added to the portfolio of electronic monitoring relays in the PMDsigma series from Pilz. With it, it is simply turn and click to set all the values, which can then be stored on a chip card. This gives users the flexibility to transfer data for other devices.
PMD s20 monitors the electrical safety of insulated
supplies – for operating theatres, offshore installations or the electroplating industry for example – and prevents power failures due to short circuits.

Safe proximity switch PSENini from Pilz expands the sensor technology portfolio - Safe, non-contact monitoring
Pilz has now added the safe proximity switch PSENini to its safe sensor technology portfolio. PSENini detects the approach of metallic objects without using contacts. Safe detection is provided even on multiple position
applications - with long cams or rotational movements. The non-wearing technology is particularly suitable for high switching frequencies and guarantees high productivity and a long service life.
PSENini are available in an IP67 design and so are suitable for use under difficult industrial conditions such as heavy soiling, shock or vibration.

Line inspection device PLIDdys prevents unintended power-up in the event of an error - Safe power-up guaranteed
The Pilz range now includes a safe line inspection device: on single-channel two-wire connections, PLIDdys ensures safe power-up and maximum safety on long cable routes of up to three kilometres. With PLIDdys, unintended power-up or plant start-up can be excluded in the event of an error. This is particularly beneficial on interlinked plants or on plant sections distributed over a wide area, which may not always be clearly visible. The extremely compact design means that existing plants can easily be retrofitted.

Simplifying the calculations of safety functions - new version of the PAScal Safety Calculator enables libriaries to be imported in Sistema format
Not everyone's a mathematical genius. That's why, as far as possible, it's important to simplify the complex calculation of safety functions in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and EN/IEC 62061. So Pilz has once again enhanced its PAScal software tool, used to verify the functional safety of machinery. With improved libraries, which store the safety-related characteristic data for all Pilz products, the new version v1.5.0 is even more practice-oriented. It also allows you to import libraries from other manufacturers in Sistema format, the similar software assistant produced by the IFA (Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance).

EU Commission has decided - Transition period for EN 954-1 is extended
At the meeting of the European Machinery Working Group on 7./8.12.2009 in Brussels, the EU Commission again discussed the request from the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to extend EN 954-1’s presumption of conformity.
According to information from a representative of the CEN the majority of member states were in favour of an extension and the extension will be granted. However, the Commission has still to define an exact timescale for this extension. For this the relevant announcement in the Official EU Journal which will be published December 15th or 16th 2009 has to be awaited.

Discussion about extending the transition period for EN 954-1 creates uncertainty - Pilz recommends the early application of
EN ISO 13849-1
The announcement by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that the transition period for EN 954-1, due to end this year, has been extended to 29.12.2012, has created noticeable confusion among mechanical engineers. It’s a statement that has not been confirmed, as the European Commission, whose agreement is required, will not reach a decision until early December. As a result, pending further notice, the presumption of conformity of EN 954-1 will end as planned on 29.12.2009.
As safety experts in automation, Pilz recommends that machine manufacturers and operators do not gamble on an extension of EN 954-1, but instead apply the successor standards EN ISO 13849-1 and EN/IEC 62061 as soon as possible.

Electrical safety made simple With the new PMDsigma monitoring relays, users are in control
The new generation of PMDsigma electronic monitoring relays from Pilz monitors values such as voltage, current, temperature or phase sequence. One new feature on PMDsigma is the ability to set values simply via a rotary knob and then save them on to a chip card. That way data remains flexible and can be copied over to other units. A plain text display supports parameter setting while also providing user-friendly diagnostics. The first unit in the PMDsigma product range monitors true power. This provides an early warning system for hazardous plant conditions, with no requirement for additional sensors.

Again Pilz demonstrates the openness and flexibility of its systems - Decentralised I/O system PSSuniversal can now communicate via Profinet
Pilz has now developed the decentralised I/O system PSSuniversal for connection to Profinet and Profinet safe. So now Profinet users can also take advantage of the system's benefits. PSSuniversal offers a high level of safety plus integrated standard automation in equal measure. The system can have a mixed physical structure, and can be individually adapted to suit the respective application. The absence of feedback between safety and standard creates clear areas of responsibility. Users also benefit from the fact that the I/O system is easy to manage when commissioning and engineering.

No need for a control cabinet -
Dust and water cannot harm the new digital input module for SafetyBUS p
Pilz has developed a new digital input module for the safe, open bus system SafetyBUS p. Together with its M12 connections it offers IP67 protection. It can be installed directly on the machine, so there is no need for a control cabinet. This reduces the work involved in planning and installation, which means a significant time saving. Installation is very easy, with no complex wiring. Ready-made, plug-in connection leads help to avoid wiring errors from the outset. Plug-in connections also make maintenance and replacement easier.

Safe monitoring of analogue input signals also now available - Pilz creates new application areas for the PNOZmulti safety system
The Pilz PNOZmulti, the first configurable safety system, can now also safely monitor analogue input signals such as current or voltage. In the field of safety technology this has previously only been possible using programmable control systems. With its analogue input module, the PNOZmulti is particularly suitable for the process engineering sector, as well as for cable car and chair lift design and burner controls. So now there are even more opportunities to use the multifunctional safety system, which has become established in the widest range of mechanical engineering applications.

Innovative safety for press brakes - New camera-based protection and measuring system from Pilz
The new, camera-based protection and measuring system PSENvip from Pilz uses an innovative optical system to monitor the whole bending process. Instead of a laser light source PSENvip uses an LED-based solution, whereby the receiver simply needs to be illuminated along the upper tool. So the time it takes for initial and subsequent adjustment of the system is reduced to a minimum. When installed on the upper die of the press brake, the PSENvip detects even the smallest foreign body in the protected field between the transmitter and receiver, enabling productive work practices in complete safety. PSENvip also records relevant control data from the bending process: not only is the metal sheet detected, but the bending angle is determined automatically and visualised via the integrated display. A separate angle measurement device is not needed, simplifying operation and reducing costs.
