Commissioning reduced in Pilz automation

Pilz presents the firmware release 13 for the PSS 4000 automation system, containing numerous new functions to reduce commissioning time, increasing productivity. The time saving is obtained thanks to the online change function, allowing to make individual program changes on the control system, not requiring to compile and load the whole program during commissioning. The function is also possible for the failsafe section, without having to rebuilt the entire project.

The standardization reduces the number of device types, thanks to configuration in PAS4000 allowing to use one PLC control system for various industrial ethernet communication protocols, such as ProfiNET. The release increases at last the productivity, thanks to the configurable connection structure SafetyNET p FS, ensuring that the system is automatically reconnected if the SafetyNET connection is lost. For even greater safety, the release enables pulse stretching and pulse delay in the compact module Fast Control Unit, so that even very short pulses can be safely recorded and processed.
